I don’t want to go.
I won’t attend or participate in any of your crazy ideas.
Cheryl, I already signed your invitation and you’re going.
You’re the one representing our family.
This will be the greatest contribution you’ll ever make in your whole life.
3 months after mom died, Dad married you.
And for the past 5 years, you’ve been my stepmother.
But not once did you ever treat me like your daughter.
In this house, you act as if everything belongs to you.
You have some nerve.
And now, after squandering money alongside Dad, you plan to make me collateral.
You’ve got to be kidding me.
What’s your point, Kelsey?
Your dad is in a coma and the company’s going bankrupt.
Are you really just going to let all of your father’s hard work vanish?
Are you also going to let him waste away in the hospital?
Oh, come on, Kelsey.
Don’t you love your dad?
Of course I love him.
But why do I have to do this?
I know you’ll be the one who benefits from mom and dad’s money.
If you want someone to compete, you do it.
[music] What’s on your mind, honey?
Are you excited to meet the contestants for the competition tomorrow?
Mom, are we really doing this?
I mean, do we truly have to?
Of course.
We’ve already tried everything to help you find a suitable partner.
We’ve introduced you to all kinds of women, even that really pretty homeless girl, but you never showed the slightest interest.
You’ve liked quite a few women in the past, but every one of them turned out to be after our money.
It’s so hard to find a woman who will love you for who you are.
Don’t worry, Brandon.
Just trust me.
Sooner or later, we’ll find a decent girl you can marry.
Tomorrow’s the competition, so get ready.
Hello, ladies.
1 2 3 4 5 Wait, where’s the sixth?
Ma, I thought there were six.
Where’s the other one?
I’m not sure.
Let’s wait a little longer.
Excuse me.
Is this the Hughes mansion?
Yes, dear.
This is our mansion.
Are you [music] one of the contestants?
Yes, ma’am.
Then come on in.
My son’s waiting for you.
Listen carefully.
All six of you are here for this competition, but only three can remain in the mansion by the end of the day.
Don’t worry.
Those who don’t qualify will still receive compensation for showing up.
As for the three who are chosen, you’ll stay inside the mansion to continue the competition.
In the end, [music] one out of the three will be the winner, while the two who lose will be free to wish for anything from us.
Is everybody excited?
The first thing you’ll do is get measured over there.
Naturally, as a man, my son also wants a wife with a beautiful figure.
Oh my god, that’s so flat.
Like a wall.
[laughter] All right, that’s enough measuring.
Next, each of you will try to seduce my son.
In marriage, physical chemistry is very important.
So, let’s see if you can spark his desire.
What’s your name again?
I’m Vanessa.
Well, show me what you’ve got.
Can I give you a massage?
Don’t.
I’ve seen enough.
You can go now.
What?
I said I’ve seen enough.
You can leave.
Next.
So aggressive.
She’s gorgeous, but I want someone different.
Someone who isn’t just after money.
[music] Come here.
Okay.
So, what exactly do you want me to do for you?
Are you expecting me to take my clothes off just like them?
You tell me.
This is a competition for my future wife.
So, expect the unexpected.
Look, just send me home.
I can’t do any of the things you want.
I’m I’m a virgin and I promised myself I’d only give myself to the man I marry.
I can’t believe I got forced into this by my stepmother.
My dad is in a coma and our family business is about to collapse.
The offer to join this competition was our only hope for help.
But seducing you?
I can’t do that.
Please just eliminate me and let me go home.
All right, you can go.
Really?
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
She’s very interesting.
No one else has outright refused me or confessed their innocence so candidly.
If Cheryl asks, I’ll simply say I was cut during the elimination round.
So, son, have you picked your favorites?
Yes, Mom.
By the way, can you have our people pull up the financial records for Kelsey Fton’s family company?
But why, Brandon?
She scored the lowest out of everyone.
Just do it for me, please.
I see.
You like her, right?
It’s too soon to say I like her, but she’s interesting.
Well, in that case, I can slip her name into the list of finalists.
She’s the prettiest among the six, so that’s not a bad call.
Listen up, ladies.
We have the list of the three who will continue living in our mansion and who still have a chance to become the billionaire’s wife.
The finalists are Vanessa Miller, Alyssa Dyson, and Kelsey Falton.
I can’t believe it.
Judging by the first tasks alone, I was I was sure I’d be sent home.
Ma’am, just ring the bell if you need anything.
Thank you so much.
Right here.
Ma’am, thank you.
Why didn’t he eliminate me?
I was so sure I’d go home.
I thought he agreed to let me leave.
Brandon, why are you waving?
Do you need something?
I just wanted to ask if you like your room.
That’s it.
You waved at me to ask about my room.
My room is your room.
Yes.
I decided to let you have it.
But why?
Maybe because I find you interesting.
Give me a real reason, please.
That is the real reason.
Fine.
The room is nice.
And yes, I like it.
So, can I ask you something now?
Why didn’t you eliminate me?
It was obvious I had the lowest score, so why keep me?
Want me to repeat the answer?
I told you [music] I’m interested in you.
Are you playing games with me, Mr.
Hughes?
Certainly not.
Another reason I kept you around is Well, read this.
What is this?
Just read it.
Why do you have these files on our company?
This is personal data.
How did you even get this?
I have resources.
That’s the power of money.
Go ahead, read a little further.
Why are you doing this?
I have not even won yet.
Isn’t that against the rules of the competition?
It’s my money, Kelsey.
I can use it how I please, and I don’t regret helping your dad’s company.
But why?
Why do that for me?
How am I supposed to pay you back if I lose?
That’s easy.
Impress me, honey, because if you don’t, you owe me every cent.
But if you do become my wife, it’s free.
[music] What did he just say?
If I become his wife, I don’t have to pay.
But I’m not ready to get married.
Still, how else would I repay him?
This is crazy.
I guess you’re my mortal enemy now, Kelsey.
And I can’t let you win.
Kelsey came with a heart closed, carrying a weight that nobody knows.
She never wanted diamonds.
Never wanted the game.
She only As soon as you wake up, go downstairs and cook a delicious meal for Mr.
Hughes before 8 a.m.
Oh my gosh.
What am I going to cook?
I have no idea.
You don’t know how to cook, do you?
I I really don’t.
Could you help me out?
Excuse me.
This is a competition.
We’re not here to help each other out.
I’m here to win, not lend a hand to a helpless woman like you.
[laughter] So that’s why you were acting all flirty with Brandon last night.
You have no other skill but seduction.
I see.
Knock it off, Vanessa.
Mind your own business and go back to your cooking.
Uh, whatever.
You okay?
Yeah, thanks.
But I still don’t know what to cook.
Just cook anything.
If you force yourself to make it fancy, you might mess it up.
If there’s one dish you’re comfortable with, even if it’s simple, then go for it.
Right.
I’ve got an idea, but I’m not sure if I can pull it off.
Go for it.
Time’s running.
[music and singing] Vanessa wants the victory.
She’s counting every score while Alyssa keeps her [music] kindness even when she wants [singing] more.
H smells good.
So, Vanessa, what do you have for me?
I made turkey, bacon, and eggs on toasted bio with vanilla pudding for dessert.
Taste it, Brandon.
I’m sure you’ll love it.
It looks nice, smells great, and the plating is on point.
Fantastic.
If you became my wife, you’d definitely be a great cook.
Thank you.
And if I become your wife, I’ll cook anything you want, among other things.
And you, Alyssa, what did you make?
Chicken and waffles, plus sweet pumpkin pie for dessert.
Wow, that looks amazing.
Thank you.
Wow, this might be the tastiest chicken and waffles I’ve ever had.
And the pumpkin pie is so sweet.
I’m enjoying all of it.
You’re definitely wife material.
Once he sees my simple offering, he’ll tell me to pack my bags for sure.
And how about you, Kelsey?
What do you have for me?
Uh, well, I I said, “What did you cook?”
Or do you have nothing?
I I have something.
I made salmon soup with hard-boiled eggs.
You serve salmon soup to a billionaire, and it smells fishy as heck.
Quiet.
This is Kelsey’s turn, so let’s hear her out.
The truth is, I’m not really good at cooking.
I grew up never setting foot in a kitchen.
My family has always had staff who cooked for us.
This salmon soup is the only thing I know how to make because it’s my late mother’s recipe, something she always made for me.
It’s very special and meaningful, even if it’s not fancy.
This dish has all my heart and love poured into it.
I think that’s what really matters.
Let’s see.
This is fantastic.
I love the taste.
I want more.
You’re free to eat the rest of these dishes, but please leave me a good serving of this salmon soup.
That’s enough [music] for today’s task.
You’re free to go out now if you’d like to do some shopping.
Here are three cards.
Feel free to spend as much as you want.
Really?
We can just use these cards.
Absolutely.
Kelsey, why are you still here?
You have a credit card and you can buy whatever you want.
Why stay behind?
The other two left already.
I’m giving it back to you.
This is yours, Kelsey.
I gave it to you.
Why return it?
I don’t want to buy anything.
I have no use for it.
All right, then.
But if you’re not shopping, is there somewhere else you want to go?
I want to see my dad at the hospital.
Honestly, I thought about tagging along with Vanessa and Alyssa, but I’d just get in their way.
They’re happy about shopping, but I’d just be a downer.
So, I decided I’d just head over to see my dad.
You’re a good daughter.
You’re here in this competition, but your father is still your priority.
You have such a good heart.
What?
Why did you do that?
No reason.
I just felt like kissing a good girl.
Now go get ready.
We’re leaving.
Leaving?
But I don’t have a car.
That’s not a problem.
You’ll be riding with me in my car.
Kelsey, you forgot something.
What do you mean?
I’m pretty sure I have everything.
I You forgot your seat belt.
Oh, sorry.
Let me help you.
You’re so slow.
All set.
You’re beautiful.
And you’re you’re so hot.
I’m hot.
Huh?
I I didn’t say that.
I meant it’s hot in here.
The weather, that’s all.
Sure, sweetie.
It’s real hot here, even with the air conditioning on.
Sweetie.
Yeah, sweetie, you’re blushing.
Am I wrong?
Do you like being called sweetie?
I’m fine, thanks.
You know, Kelsey, girls cheeks turn red like that when they’re into someone.
Your imagination’s running wild.
For your information, I’ve never driven any other woman around before.
How was I supposed to know that?
Now you’re being bratty.
Normally, that’s something I hate in a woman, but somehow it looks sexy on you.
Can we just get going?
Don’t pull away.
Let me hold your hand just for a little bit longer.
Please talk to me.
Okay, Brandon.
I love how soft your hands are, sweetie.
For another reason to [music and singing] stay.
Maybe this was never about winning.
Maybe love [music] doesn’t care about plans.
Maybe somewhere between [music] Oh, Brandon, [music] don’t make me love.
Dad, please wake up.
I know you might feel that I hate you for marrying someone new just 3 months after mom passed.
I was so upset thinking you replaced her too fast.
But I know deep down you still love her.
You never let anyone remove her pictures from this house.
You even kept one empty frame beside her photos, never putting Cheryl’s face there.
I’ve caught you crying so many times, staring at our family album.
I know you love mom.
Please come back to us.
I don’t want to lose you before I even get a chance to say I’m sorry.
Dad, I love you.
I need you.
Please wake up.
See?
And she finally [music] stopped pretending that his arms [singing] weren’t where she wanted to be.
Kelsey, can we talk?
I heard what you said to your father.
Believe it or not, I love you.
I love you like my own daughter.
But you never gave me a chance to be your mother.
I’ll admit it’s been tough trying to reach out to you, especially when well, your dad never fully gave me his heart because it’s still with your mom.
And I know we both love him in our own ways.
He cherished your family business because it’s part of your mom’s legacy, even naming the company after her.
Look, I know you still don’t accept me, but please do it for your dad and your mom’s memory.
Help us keep this family and the business together.
I’m sorry.
I can see you love my dad and that you’ve tried to get close to me, but it’s hard to accept you.
It felt like you replaced my mom way too soon.
And I guess I was afraid that if I let you in, then I’d be forgetting my real mom.
Even now, it it’s still hard for me.
I understand.
But I hope one day we can truly get along.
Yes.
Maybe when I’m ready to open my heart.
Thank you, Cheryl.
Thank you, Kelsey.
I’m holding on to that hope.
I love you.
Just trying to save the life.
[music] You okay?
I’m fine.
Let’s just go.
[sighs] Kelsey, don’t pretend you’re fine if you’re hurting.
It’s okay to cry if your heart aches.
I’m here for you.
It’s okay.
I’ve got you.
It’s okay.
Everything will be all right.
Seeing your dad in a coma must be tearing you apart.
You’ll be okay, sweetie.
I’ll help you.
So that’s why she stayed behind.
Well, watch out, Kelsey.
I’ll deal with you.
Time [singing] you held my hand.
You gave me one more reason to [music and singing] stay.
Hi, Flirt Vanessa.
Why are you talking to me like that?
Is there a problem?
Oh, there’s definitely a problem.
Your shameless flirting.
Don’t play innocent.
We all saw you stay behind.
Obviously trying to get Brandon all to yourself.
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Oh, really?
So, you’re telling me you didn’t scheme this whole thing so you could hook up with Brandon?
Look, you’re sweet on the outside, but you’re just as conniving as the rest of us.
Where’d you two even go?
Using your body to climb your way to the top.
Come on, fight fair.
Shut your mouth if you have no clue what you’re saying, Vanessa.
Brandon, uh, how long have you been there?
Long enough.
If you really need to know, Kelsey and I visited her father who’s in a coma.
That’s it.
And by the way, this day wasn’t even part of the competition.
You’re beautiful.
No doubt.
You stand a good chance of winning.
Sure.
But I don’t only need physical beauty.
I need more than that.
And I wonder if you even have it.
If you’ve got nothing else to do here, Vanessa, leave.
This isn’t your room.
Uh, Brandon, thanks again.
You’re welcome.
Now, get some rest.
Tomorrow, you all have another challenge.
Do your best because because I want you to marry me.
Marry you?
Yes.
But you’re all still competing, right?
And I know there are contestants who might beat you.
I mean, beat me.
Not in my eyes.
I don’t see anyone but you, Kelsey.
What’s so bad about that?
I’m the Bachelor here and you’re my contestant.
I wasn’t here to get married.
I only came because Cheryl forced me and the family business was at stake.
Yet, his words, his presence make me blush and feel strangely happy.
What is happening to me?
Ladies, your task today is simple, ironing clothes.
One of you might become my son’s wife, and it won’t do if you rely on the household staff for everything.
So, show us what you can do.
Each of you will be given clothes to iron in exactly 40 minutes.
Your time starts now.
Ma’am, I don’t know how to iron.
Which buttons do I push or what do I do?
Oh, okay.
Got it.
Ow, it’s hot.
It’s an iron.
Of course it’s hot.
Why on earth would you use your hand?
I didn’t realize.
Is she okay?
Good grief.
I’m sorry, but I’m not giving up.
I’ll do it.
I owe Brandon a hefty debt.
If I lose, I’ll be buried in payments.
If I win, I might be able to negotiate a way out without actually marrying him.
[music] [music] Kelsey, what the heck are you doing?
It’s scorched.
I You lost this round.
Vanessa, you are the winner.
Of course I am.
Better luck next time.
[music] So, how does it feel to lose, loser?
It’s fine.
Congratulations.
Ow, Vanessa, that hurts.
That’s nothing compared to what you’ll feel if you keep flirting with Brandon.
[music] I’m ahead in this competition, and I’m going to win.
No matter how much you try to seduce him, you’re no match for me.
So, back off.
I will be the billionaire’s wife and I’m the one who’s going to come out on top.
Vanessa, would you stop being paranoid?
You just said you’re in the lead.
Why act so threatened?
Because you flirt with him and [music] I can see he likes you.
You’re a big threat.
And do you know what happens to threats?
[screaming] Kelsey.
Mom, call the best doctor you can find.
Please.
I’m on it, Brandon.
[music] Brandon, settle down.
Son, calm down.
She’ll be fine.
I hope so, Mom.
I really hope she’s okay.
[sighs] Is she really that important to you?
She’s more than important.
I’ve never felt this way about any woman before.
Mom, she’s not greedy and she doesn’t care about my money.
Instead of going shopping, she visited her dad in the hospital.
She used none of the money I gave her.
With everything she’s done, I I can’t help falling for her.
I’m glad, son.
But do you know if she feels the same about you?
Also remember we have to be fair and finish this competition properly.
Doc, how is she?
Is she all right?
She’s out of danger.
She lost consciousness from the impact of the fall.
Her leg was strained, so when she wakes, she might have trouble walking for a bit, but she’ll be awake anytime today.
Thank you.
You really do care about her, huh?
Um, not officially, but I wish.
Thanks again, Doc.
You’re welcome.
Brandon, [music and singing] I wasn’t ready for you.
I had too many broken [music] things to lose.
He’s handsome, wealthy, kind, practically perfect.
How could a man like this struggle to find a wife?
Kelsey, you’re awake.
Tell me, does anything hurt?
Not really, though.
My foot feels numb.
Brandon, have you been here this whole time?
Don’t tell me you stayed here watching over me.
What if I did?
Would you be mad?
Oh, God.
Don’t bite your lip, Kelsey.
It does something to me.
Stop it.
If I said I liked you being here, what would you do?
Then I do even more things you like.
Kelsey, I like you.
Honestly, I love you.
You’re exactly the kind of person I want to marry.
Not because of this competition, but because you already have my heart.
Do you feel the same?
All right, no rush.
I’ll wait for you even until this competition ends.
Take your time.
[singing] Tomorrow, Brandon is supposed to stay with me.
A part of me is looking forward to it, but I don’t know how to handle actually sharing a room with him.
[music] [music] [music] Stop it.
Why?
You’re staying in my room tonight.
Doesn’t that mean you want me?
I can give you everything right now.
Don’t you think I’m sexy enough?
I said stop.
Is it because of Kelsey?
Why her?
I’m obviously the leader in this competition.
Yeah, you’re ahead on points, but not in character.
Don’t think I don’t know what you did to Kelsey on the stairs.
She’s too kind to let me punish you for it.
And yes, I prefer her because she’s different from you.
She’s calm, caring, whereas you’re pushy, and aggressive, and that’s not what I want.
Remember when I said genuine kindness matters to me?
You ignored that.
Good night, Vanessa.
Brandon, where are you going?
Brandon.
Brandon.
Calm down.
[sighs] This is a contest after all, and I have no right to feel jealous.
Kelsey, you ready for tonight?
I, Brandon, I’m not even showered.
You know, we might end up doing something.
Why not prepare?
I told you I want to give myself only to the man I love, to the one I marry.
Plus, about last night, I saw you and Vanessa.
You two kissed.
She kissed me.
I didn’t kiss her back.
And I certainly never slept with her.
Okay, Kelsey, I love you.
I know this might not have been your plan, but I’m hoping you love me, too.
If so, I don’t care what the competition says.
Yes, Brandon, I do love you.
I know it’s crazy, but I can’t deny my feelings anymore.
But this is still a contest.
What if I don’t win?
Don’t worry about that.
Just telling me you love me is enough for now.
May I kiss you?
I’ll take that silence as a yes.
[music] Came late.
She didn’t want to stay.
Brandon saw her and he looked [music] away.
She said it’s Brandon, you need to take responsibility.
Responsibility?
What’s going on?
Both of you come downstairs.
There’s an important announcement.
Brandon, you’ve gotten Vanessa pregnant.
Pregnant?
That’s impossible.
We never did anything.
Mom.
Vanessa, what is this?
I’m pregnant and you’re the father.
You’re lying.
I know you have a boyfriend outside this mansion.
Don’t try to frame me.
I had each contestant discreetly monitored.
I know all about her.
This is also why I can’t pick her.
She’s been playing dirty from the start.
Guards, remove this desperate woman from my house.
Let go of me.
This isn’t over.
This isn’t over.
No need to say I’m disqualified.
Mr.
Hughes, I joined only because I have a personal wish.
And now that I see you and Kelsey are happy, that’s enough for me.
You’re a kind person, Alyssa.
I appreciate your honesty, and I promise to help you however I can.
If you need a lawyer or any other support, I’m here.
Thank you, Mr.
Hughes.
That means everything.
Kelsey, I’ll ask you again.
Will you marry me?
Will you be mine?
If you need time to think about it.
I I don’t need more time.
I’m already sure it’s you.
Yes, Brandon.
I’ll marry you.
[music] I love you, Kelsey.
I love you too, Brandon.
Something in his smile wouldn’t [singing] let her leave.
She don’t want the diamonds, don’t want the fame.
Don’t really care about the family name.
[music] Brandon said, “Girl, that’s what I like.”
Now she’s thinking about them every night.
Kelsey, tell me, would you stay with me?
[music] I [singing] wasn’t looking [music] in my mind.
You know, I joined that ridiculous competition just to save my family’s company.
I never imagined I’d win the greatest prize of all, you.
And I searched everywhere for a woman who would love me for who I am.
Turns out she walked in late, stared at me like a fool, and begged me to send her home.
[laughter] [music] He calls her sweetie.
She hides her smile.
But Brandon knows she’s falling all the while.
Kelsey, [music] tell me, would you stay with me?
Maybe if you wait for me.
I wasn’t looking [music] for love this time, but somehow you be crossing my mind.
Render Brandon, don’t move too fast.
Kelsey.
[music and singing] Kelsey, I can make this last.
Everybody came here trying to win, but you [music] got my heart without trying.
