03:21town quickly and get back to America. So that they can sell their land and make money off of it.

03:26It is the same night and the girl watches someone trying to put a tent, while it was raining and

03:30thunderstorm outside. It was the same rich guy Patrick and they are surprised to see each other.

03:36She angrily insists to stop his stupidity and tells him to come stay in her place.

03:40He act hesitant and agree to come inside her house. Inside the house, she tells him to get undressed.

03:46He proceeds to do the obvious and in no time he is bare clothed. She insists on taking everything off,

03:52which he excitedly does. While he had no clothes on, girl goes inside a room and comes out with some

03:57clothes. She throws the clothes at him and walk away without saying anything. The guy explains that

04:03he does not have any way to contact anybody that he know. So he only have a choice to stay for a

04:08night and fix his bike in the morning. Right after, two men, who are again the partners in land are seen

04:13carrying a heavy beehive box outside. Which are scared by the rich guy and later he gets to know

04:18that he did a mistake because they were not thieves. He feels injured and goes away to see a doctor.

04:23The female doctor is more interested in his abs than his injury. She recommend him to stay for

04:29checkup for 24 hours, but he run away from there. Little did the rich guy know that the gangster is

04:34following him all along. The two partners are again talking about the girl and the guy. They think that

05:15But, it all settles down and they end up making a deal. Next day, the girl is seen going into a

05:20repair shop and ask the men to repair the roof. But they kind of laugh at them a little, to which

05:25she realized that her brothers has already told them not to help her out. So that she will leave

05:30the town in frustration. She comes back to her home and find the rich guy there. He reveals that

05:35since last night he broke the beehive box, he is gifting her new ones. This guy also decide to help

05:41her out by fixing her roof, to which she shouted him. Right after, he ends up falling along with

05:46the ladder and gets a bit injured. In the middle, he try his best to impress the girl and flirt.

05:52But she kind of knew his tricks. Finally she help him out and try to put him to bed. He suddenly

06:02watching everything and decide to call her mother. There her mother tells him to take his clothes off

06:07and lay down on the table. At the table he was getting special treatment from her mother and

06:11herself, which was painful. So the miracle happens and he suddenly is cured. The girl believes that

06:17the guy will never come back again. On the other hand, his Patrick's sister is waiting to sign the

06:22papers for the land and does not have many days left. She calls her brother up and gives him a

06:27deadline of 3 days. Patrick can be seen once again with the doctor. She again tries to flirt with him

06:33and he walks away. Suddenly, he encounters the thug and try to take the back window for escape.

06:38Thug come through the door, where the doctor makes him sit and try to seduce him. The partners and the

06:43Patrick are talking about how he almost got it, but some complications happened. They give him the info

06:48that she will be at the city council tomorrow. Next day girl's whole family is getting their alcohol

06:53ready for the bar. Her little sister arrives and start to ask her about the handsome man. Both sisters

06:59are impressed with the looks of the guy. For some reason talking about men makes her really upset

07:04and she takes a shot. Right away, they encounter the Patrick and lawyer outside, which surprises them.

07:10Her mother wants them to go away, but the girl somehow offers him a spare room. At her house she

07:15assures him that she will not sleep with him. Inside the house she was talking to someone about the

07:20funding for her beehive project, but she did not get the expected funding for it. Which makes her very

07:25upset and she tells Patrick to chop the wood outside. This does not seem to work out in his

07:30favor and he barely manages to chop a single wood. When she drives away, he calls the partners and the

07:36group to help him out. Which later result in all the wood getting chopped and organized. This

07:41impressed the girl a lot and she is somewhat attracted to him. Later at night she decide to

07:45go into his room, but stops. He comes out and see her taking a bath, but stops before knocking on the

07:51door. Next morning, she asks him out to go on a trip with her. The view at the mountain was very

07:56beautiful, which makes them very happy. It looks like she is starting to feel something for him.

08:02He decide to help her out with the bees and they end up falling off. There they almost about to kiss,

08:07but the Casca ignores him. While getting treatment from Casca's mother, who explains to him that Casca

08:12is a special woman, who needs special efforts. After, the guy decide to participate in one of the

08:18lumberjack competition. Casca and her mother are shocked to see him participating. This does not

08:23affect the guy and he decide to not let go of the competition. Every one of the participants are

08:28getting paid by the partners. So that they try their best to lose and make the rich guy win.

08:33They're the biggest guy decide to get paid and win for the honor. Partners decide to trick the

08:38biggest man instead and bring a beautiful woman in front of him. That almost end in a drastic accident,

08:44but the day gets saved by the rich guy. After the competition, he tried to talk to Casca,

08:49but she does not want to listen to him for some reason. Her mother suggest him not to play with

08:53her feelings. Later at her home, she gets an urgent call that the queen bee has been shipped by mail to

08:59the post office two days ago and if they did not get the bees today, queen bee will die. The post office

09:05was one hour away by drive. So Patrick offers her a ride to the post office for faster travel.

09:11She hugs him after getting to know that bees are safe. They end up getting the bees back to her

09:16home, which makes her really happy. Rich guy wants to tell her something, but before that would happen,

09:21they start to make out. Next morning he wakes up and somewhat feels guilty about it. Casca also wakes

09:27up and surprised to see that he is not there anymore. While Patrick went to talk to two partners,

09:32Casca gets to know that he is part of the company and he was a fake all along. Meanwhile,

09:36Patrick and the partners are fighting with each other. Casca arrives there, she is very emotional

09:41due to the obvious reason that Patrick faked everything. This made her devastated along with

09:46her brothers and Patrick. Right after their lawyer slips his tongue and tells them about the treasure.

09:52They make him spit out the truth that the wood that they have inside their land is more expensive

09:56than the diamonds. Suddenly, Patrick also realizes that even the thugs have been sent by her sister

10:01to own the land. It was all part of the big plan. Now Patrick decide to make a smart move here.

10:07All of them meets the thug and tell him to do as they explain. Next, the thug goes back to the rich

10:13sister and tell her that the plan is going as expected. Businesswoman arrives back in town and the deal

10:18is made. Her brother also get paid and he walks away. While Casca was about to leave the town, she is

10:25surprised by her family. They are setting up her beehive factory, which makes her really happy.

10:30Everyone is really excited to see her stay. Patrick's sister gets to know that the land she bought was

10:35not something that she expected and it does not contain the expensive wood. Patrick also have

10:40opened up a company along with the partners and the chairman also sits with the partners to invest

10:45in furniture business. Back in town everyone is celebrating the new wedding. Swaska says goodbye to

10:51her little sister. Later on one of the partners decide to make a toast for the married couple.

10:56In the middle they start to fight once again as usual. While everyone was

10:59enjoying the party, Swaska was sitting all alone and sad. To her surprise, Patrick arrives there

11:05and ask her for a room. This was the beginning of their love story and they start to kiss in the end.
