00:00While diving, I stumbled upon a watch by chance. I sold it for $5,000. With that money, I opened
00:07a flower shop. But my boyfriend keeps asking me for money under the guise of various dreams.
00:13Three years, I ran a flower shop to bankroll my boyfriend's dreams. First time, I emptied the trust fund my
00:20grandma left me. $100,000. Gone.
00:22Second time, I sold my late mom's vintage Porsche. Another $250,000. And now, he wanted $1,000,000 more.
00:31I stared at my phone. One call to my billionaire father could fix everything. The father I swore I'd never
00:36speak to again. Then Luke's iPad lit up. Bro, how much fake debt this time? Luke, make it a million.
00:43Anything less. And that stupid florist will just pay it off again. Bro, damn. Easiest money ever. Plus free sex.
00:51I didn't cry.
00:52I felt sick. For three years. He'd been playing me for a fool. So I made the call. You still
00:58want me back? To take over the empire and marry your ruthless CEO? Fine. I'll do it. I'll be there
01:03in three days.
01:04Nina, I screwed up. I owe a million bucks. Luke played his part perfectly. But I wasn't looking at his
01:10face. I was looking at his wrist. It was a Richard Mill. At least $2,000,000. He was wearing
01:16a $2,000,000 watch. And I was still stupid enough to consider taking out a loan for him.
01:21It's a fake baby. I'll buy you a real one soon. I promise. He thought I was clueless. Just some
01:27poor girl who couldn't tell the real thing from a fake. The iPad on the table lit up again. More
01:32messages popped up. Bro, how's she paying this time? Selling her house? Or selling herself? Bro too. If she starts
01:39selling herself, I want first dips. Three years together. Two fake debts. I paid them both. All I got in
01:46return were lies. He pulled me closer. Putting on that sweet smile again.
01:50Baby, help me this one last time. Pay this off and we'll get married. I promise.
01:56A billionaire pretending to be broke. Still trying to squeeze the last dollar out of me. I was too tired
02:02to even yell.
02:03But Luke, I'm out of money. He froze. His face twisted with anger.
02:07Wow! Are you giving up on me? So you think I'm a failure too? I thought you were different!
02:14He stormed out, slamming the door behind him. He expected me to run after him. But I didn't call him
02:20back. Instead, I blocked his number. I picked up the fake debt notice. No signatures. No official seal. It was
02:27a piece of trash. Just like him. Put the flower shop up for lease. Sell everything. Leave.
02:33The next morning, I packed my bags. I looked around our dark, tiny apartment. There was nothing worth taking. A
02:41discarded birthday card. A rock from the street. A paper ring. Luke had given them to me as surprises. Every
02:48time I opened one, he looked almost as surprised as I was.
02:51Looking back, he had probably told his staff to grab whatever they could find. He didn't even know what was
02:57inside.
02:57The only real gift he ever gave me was a $10 necklace from a flea market. He bought it after
03:03his first so-called successful startup. He had called me stupid so many times. Now I knew the truth about
03:09him. He really did think I was an idiot. I searched through his group chats. The word stupid showed up
03:14517 times. I ran through the rain for blocks to buy him late night takeout.
03:19His text? Nina's so stupid. He had a fever. I gave him my only raincoat and walked him to the
03:25clinic. His text? She's ridiculously stupid. Even when I was lying in his arms. Dreaming about our future. Nina is
03:32hopelessly stupid. Broke as a joke and still planning a wedding. Even through the screen, I could see that mocking
03:38smirk on his face. But it didn't matter anymore. Luke had no place in my future.
03:43I kept packing. But in the end, my suitcase was empty. The trash can was full. Then my phone rang.
03:49Hello, Nina. It's Broker. I have some news for you. I'm sorry, but the landlord won't allow subsetting.
03:56At 3 that afternoon, I showed up at a luxury office building to meet my broker. I glanced through the
04:01half-open door. And there he was. Luke. He was wearing a custom-tailored suit. He was scrolling through his
04:07phone while a glamorous woman leaned against him.
04:10I recognized her instantly. Her name was Lynn. Two days earlier, my shop had received a massive order. 999 roses.
04:18The customer had left a special instruction. Do not remove the thorns. I wrapped every single stem until my hands
04:24were bleeding. I needed the money too badly to say no.
04:27When I delivered the flowers in person, Lynn was the one who took them. A card was tucked into the
04:33middle.
04:33To my one true love, Lynn. LCC. LCC. Luke Zachary Cole. He had known I was desperate for cash. He
04:40knew I would never turn down a huge order. He had specifically asked for the thorns to be left on.
04:45He wanted to watch me bleed for his amusement.
04:48That night, I came home ecstatic. I had told him I made a huge profit. He bandaged my torn, bloody
04:54fingers so gently. Was he mocking me in his head the whole time?
04:58I wiped the tear away. I almost laughed at myself. Then, my broker walked up behind me.
05:04Miss Nina? The landlord is right inside. Why aren't you going in?
05:07You mean, Luke?
05:08Yeah. Didn't you know? Luke owns the entire block on Main Street.
05:38I was like, I didn't even notice that you knew why I didn't clean the door, but I didn't have
05:39homework.
05:39He didn't do what he said to myself.
05:39Hands window breaks into the yard risk to the checkpoint because hora is just that accident.
05:39So even when we didn't have to get to, we haven't done that accident.
05:51So even if we were in a perfect session today, it would be prepared for peer problems.
05:51You would be prepared for these selections, which we would say that when we are taking it tomorrow,
05:52the fear that we actually drove one of the two types of things in the world.
06:01For 27 years, I had run from my real family.
06:04Now, the billionaire father I hated was my only way out.
06:08Dad, please.
06:11Pick me up now, please.
06:13While my world was shattering, Luke was just annoyed.
06:17It had been two days.
06:18I hadn't texted him once.
06:20A friend clapped him on the shoulder, smirking.
06:22What's wrong, Luke?
06:23The little flower's finally out of cash?
06:25Done chasing after you?
06:26Shut up.
06:27Nina is obsessed with me.
06:29She's probably out begging for loans right now.
06:31I'll ignore her for a few more days.
06:33She'll come up with the cash.
06:34The broker from earlier awkwardly approached the group.
06:37Uh, Mr. Cole?
06:38I heard you talking about Nina.
06:40She just called me to sublet her shop.
06:42I wasn't sure if you'd approve it.
06:44Sublit?
06:45Why would she give it up?
06:46Uh, she said she was tired.
06:49Said she was going home to get married.
07:25Now�� Mary's Alyssa.
07:25I thought she was going home for mint uit.
07:25But she's going home first, remember?
07:25I got married.
07:26I guess she was able to move a pope on Paris.
07:26I felt like she did, and she got married.
07:27I don't know.
07:27.
07:57.
08:31.
08:36My father moved fast.
08:38Someone was already waiting at the airport.
08:40He was 6-foot 3, dressed in black, and impossible to ignore.
08:45I was a sobbing mess.
08:46He didn't speak.
08:47He just handed me a tissue.
08:49It smelled like cedar and mint.
08:51The scent brought back a memory.
08:53He took off his sunglasses.
08:57.
09:43I finally studied him, he looked untouchable, a sharp jaw, a small scar through his right
09:49brow, a face too handsome to trust, suddenly, he turned his head, our eyes locked, I panicked
09:55and stared out the window, but in the reflection of the window, I saw the tips of his ears
10:00turning red, the man everyone feared was blushing, do you need more water, he asked, almost stumbling
10:07over the words, no, I'm fine, suddenly, the plane dropped, severe turbulence, he reacted
10:14on instinct, his hand closed around my shoulder, shielding me, the heat of his palm burned through
10:20my thin shirt, when the plane steadied, he pulled his hand back, the cabin fell still
10:25again, so why was my heart beating this fast, when we got to the estate, it was late, my
10:31father was waiting in the dining room, I hadn't seen him in 3 years, his hair was greyer, he
10:37looked old, I expected a lecture, or an apology, instead, he just told me to eat, then he kept
10:44filling my plate, my eyes burned, I hated him for what he did to my mother, but I knew he
10:50loved me, after dinner, my father finally spoke, I'm extremely sorry, due to the heavy fog in
10:57London at that time, I missed the last chance to see your mother, I couldn't forgive him
11:03for her, but he was my father anyway, Derek came downstairs after work, he smelled faintly
11:09of smoke, I wrinkled my nose, I won't smoke around you again, Nina, I've been managing
11:14the empire for your father, now that you're back, I'll hand it over to you, you were top
11:19of your class at Harvard Business School, you'll do fine, and if there's anything you don't
11:23understand, ask me, thank you Derek, you've thanked me too many times today, this marriage
11:31was arranged to protect the company, but if you don't want it, I can call it off, no, I'll
11:37marry you, I'm just afraid it's unfair to you, because, I don't love you yet, he swallowed
11:43hard, I'll announce the wedding to the press tomorrow, we'll marry the day after, Derek
11:48turned to leave, the scent of cedar and mint drifted past me, for a second, my heart stumbled,
11:54Derek, have you, ever been to Seattle, he didn't answer, he just walked away, two days
12:00later, it was our wedding day, Derek had flown in a couture gown from Paris, shimmering
12:05with crystals, I stood before the mirror, my fingers brushing the silk, for the first
12:10time in years, I felt excited, then the doors crashed open, it was Luke, sweating, disheveled,
12:18wide eyed, Nina, it's really you, I searched the whole city for you, then I saw the news,
12:26you're marrying Derek Sterling, why are you here?
12:29panic flashed across his face, Nina, you can't marry him, you love me, don't you, Nina, tell
12:38me you still love me, you, you have no right to talk about love, Luke, you played me for
12:46three years, you treated me like an idiot, I am not your toy, my feelings were never a
12:53joke, Luke collapsed into a velvet vanity chair, Nina, it wasn't like that, I fell for you,
12:58I swear I did, but the guys, they kept laughing at me, they said my taste was trash, I was
13:06stupid, I was a coward, confused, I drained the trust fund my grandma left me, I sold my
13:11late mom's vintage Porsche, you let your thugs crush my cat to death, you made me wrap 999
13:17roses for Lynn, you made me bleed just to entertain yourself, was that just your ego too?
13:22all the blood drained from Luke's face, no, I didn't order those, I swear, Nina, that wasn't
13:29me, Lynn must have, Mr. Cole, step away from my wife, you're Derek Sterling, she's not marrying
13:40you, she loves me, Luke turned back to me and sobbed, Nina, please, listen to me, I'll give
13:46you everything, I'll transfer all my assets to you, just give me one more chance, you're
13:52so arrogant, Luke, the second I found out you lied, I stopped loving you, Luke grabbed
13:59the edge of the vanity table and started dry heaving, his knuckles were turning blue, the
14:04estate butler rushed in, looking anxious, sir, the guests are seated, get him out of here,
14:10Luke kicked and screamed, thrashing and shouting, the wedding march rose from the hall outside,
14:17Derek adjusted the pearl tiara in my hair, his warm breath brushing against my ear,
14:22trust me, Nina, I will never, ever be like him, I looked at our reflection in the vanity mirror,
14:29the diamonds on my dress caught the light, sparkling in time with my racing heartbeat,
14:33I know, the doors opened, behind me, Luke's agonizing screams, were completely swallowed
14:40by the music, and beside me, Derek's hand stayed firmly on my waist, I was stepping into the
14:45light, and I was never looking back, the wedding was over, when we finally got to our bedroom,
14:51Derek was tipsy, are you okay, I asked nervously, Derek suddenly laughed, he dropped the pillow
14:58and pulled me into a tight hug, Nina, do you remember me, his voice was muffled, my blood
15:04ran cold, 17 years old, a rainy night, a boy shielded me from flying glass in a dark alley,
15:11blood dripped from his brow onto my hand, the scar, I murmured, my fingers unconsciously tracing
15:16the tiny scar, on Derek's eyebrow, every Wednesday at 3pm, the white roses, Derek whispered, every night
15:24making sure you walked up the stairs safely before I drove home, the mystery customer who kept my shop
15:29afloat, the stranger in the shadows, who protected me, when Luke wasn't around, it was him, it had
15:35always been him, Derek, how long have you been in love with me, Derek's body stiffened, for years,
15:42Nina, when your father said you agreed to the marriage, it felt unreal, will you let me take
15:47care of you, for the rest of my life, I looked into his eyes, and felt myself drowning, I squeezed
15:53his hand back, let's try, I told him, we didn't sleep in the same bed that night, but everything
15:59changed, it became a routine, every morning before work, Derek would pull me into a tight hug, and every
16:05night before bed, I actually found myself, waiting for his goodnight kiss on my cheek, then, his company
16:12closed a massive project, he came home late, swaying slightly, reeking faintly of whiskey, I had to help
16:18him back to the bedroom, but the moment we fell onto the bed, he turned and caught himself above me,
16:24in
16:24the dark shadows of the room, his eyes were bright, sharp and completely focused, he didn't look drunk
16:30at all, he leaned in close, hesitating for a split second, then, he softly pressed his lips to the
16:36corner of my mouth, when I didn't push him away, he immediately leaned in and captured my lips, his chest
16:42was heaving, I could feel his hot breath brushing against my skin, his voice was rough as he whispered,
16:47Nina, is this okay, I didn't answer him with words, I just reached up and cupped his face, and pulled
16:54him back down to me, weeks passed, I learned what it truly meant to be worshipped, to be loved without
16:59a single lie, then, two months later, my phone rang, it was Luke's grandfather, begging me to visit the
17:05hospital, Luke had found out Lynn staged the rose order, he exiled her, he spent his days, drinking
17:12himself into a coma, until a drunk driver crashed both his legs, outside a bar, the doctors
17:17said they might have to amputate, Nina, I know he hurt you, grandfather sobbed, but he refuses
17:23treatment, he thinks this is his punishment for breaking your heart, please just come talk
17:28to him, I glanced back at Derek, I'm sorry Mr. Cole, I won't be coming, I've already moved
17:33on, I don't want to go back to the past, after hanging up, I walked over to the couch, and
17:40wrapped my arms around Derek's neck, who was that, he asked, nobody important, I smiled
17:45against his lips, Derek, I love you.
