Welcome to Storyflix.
In this video, we will explain Bride For Rent.
This movie tells the
story of a rich man named Rocco Espiritu who lost all his money in a poker game.
Because of that, Rocco had to make more money if he didn't want to lose his valuable clients,
which he needed to beat his father's TV commercial production company.
Meanwhile,
Dela Cruz is a simple woman who desperately needs money to pay her rent or she and her family are
threatened with being homeless because they no longer have a place to live.
The only way for Rocco
to get enough money from his trust fund is to fulfil the conditions set by his grandmother
and that is to get married.
Rocco finally met Dela who agreed to act as his pseudo wife in exchange for a 'talent fee'.
Will Rocco and Dela's marriage go smoothly and they finally get what they want?
Or do things go wrong and they fall in love with each other?
Let's find out in Bride For Rent.
Bride for Rent begins by showing a woman named Dela Cruz who is in her room
and hears a knock on the door.
It turned out that the man who knocked on the door was none other than the house owner
who wanted to collect the rent fee.
Dela and her family have not paid the rent for the house for six months.
The man who owned the house then threatened to kick Dela and her family out of
the house if they didn't pay off the house rent fee immediately.
Meanwhile elsewhere, a wealthy
man named Rocco Espiritu appears to have just spent time with two women and is on a phone call
with his grandmother, Lala.
After that,
Rocco met his uncle who told him
that he was having trouble convincing his business partners to work with Rocco.
But Rocco told his uncle
that he would do his best on the project
and would not disappoint his uncle.
Having managed to convince his uncle
and get a project that he predicted could bring in quite a lot of money,
Rocco then celebrated it by throwing a small party at a nightclub.
Not long after, Rocco's girlfriend, Gretchen,
came to the party and then slapped him after finding out that Rocco had an affair.
The next morning, Rocco wakes up from his sleep
after getting a phone call from a woman who says
that Rocco owes her nearly three billion.
Suddenly Rocco was surprised to hear the amount of debt that was quite fantastic.
However,
Rocco immediately remembered that he had bet all his money on the poker game last night.
Rocco then told the woman that he would soon pay off the debt because it was his twenty-fifth
birthday and he felt very confident that he would get an inheritance from his grandmother.
Rocco then went to see a man who is Lala's lawyer to ask for the inheritance of the money.
However,
the lawyer told Rocco that Lala had changed the will,
in which the grandmother had added a new condition,
namely that Rocco must be married to a woman when he was twenty-five years old.
After that the money he inherited would be given to him.
Hearing this, Rocco immediately felt annoyed and immediately called his grandmother.
But Lala argued that the purpose of changing her
will was for Rocco's good to become a more mature and responsible man.
To get his trust fund from his grandmother,
Rocco must immediately find a woman who is willing to marry him as soon as possible.
He then meets Gretchen and proposes to her,
but Gretchen flatly refuses Rocco's offer because she already feels hurt.
Rocco then went to all his ex-girlfriends, asking them to be his wives,
but none of them matched the criteria of an ideal wife as Lala wanted.
One of Rocco's best friends, a man named Antonio, later said that Rocco
was a bad guy because neither of his former girlfriends wanted to reconnect with him.
Another friend of Rocco's, a man named Javier, suggests that Rocco hold an audition to find a
'pseudo wife' who is willing to marry him, but is not romantically involved with him. On the other
hand, Dela is taking part in various auditions to become an advertisement star and an actress.
However, Dela never passed the audition and got a job, even though she had to pay off her house rent
as soon as possible. Dela was then informed that Rocco Espiritu was opening auditions.
Hearing the name Rocco, Dela seemed excited because Rocco was one of her favorite celebrities.
She rushed to the audition venue and when she finally got to meet Rocco in person,
she seemed fascinated by Rocco's good looks, which was the man of her dreams.
Meanwhile, Rocco and his friends were seen interviewing several women who were
candidates for his pseudo-wife, but Rocco didn't feel compatible with any of them.
When it was Dela's turn to be interviewed, she was chatting with someone so she didn't hear when
the committee said her name. Dela only realized it when the audition room door suddenly closed.
From behind the door, Dela heard Rocco and his friends talking about the purpose of the audition.
When Rocco opened the audition room door and was about to leave, Dela fell into Rocco's arms.
Dela was then asked to explain her strengths and weaknesses to Rocco and his friends. Unexpectedly,
Rocco seemed interested in Dela's indifferent and outspoken attitude and decided to hire
her as his pseudo wife. After that, Rocco takes Dela to meet his grandmother, Lala, where Rocco
later tells Lala that he and Dela have secretly married. Meeting Lala, who is a senior actress,
made Dela scream hysterically and was not shy about expressing her admiration for the actress.
Hearing that Rocco and Dela were married, Lala asked them to have a lively wedding
and invited many people so that everyone would know the happy news. After meeting with Lala,
Rocco and Dela seem to be fighting in the car because Rocco forced Dela to get married for
real even though their plan was only to inform Lala about marriage to get inheritance money,
not actually getting married. Dela told Rocco that she wasn't ready to get married at all and
Rocco said the same thing, adding that he was forced to do the marriage just for the sake of
inheritance money. Rocco then asked how much money Dela needed to marry him. Hearing that question,
Dela suddenly felt very irritated because Rocco trampled on her pride and thought of her like
a cheap woman who only cared about money. Dela decides to terminate their contract,
take her fee as a temporary rental girlfriend, and then rushes home. Dela then returned to her house,
where all her family members were waiting because that day was the deadline given by the owner of
the house to pay off their rent fee. At the same time, Lala secretly follows Dela to her house
and finally finds out that Rocco and Dela are not really married. Dela immediately apologized
to Lala and told her that she had to agree to follow Rocco's plan because she also needed a
lot of money to pay her rent fee. Lala seems to understand Dela's reasoning and asks her to stay
married to her grandson because she wants to teach Rocco how he should respect all the things he has
and respect other people. Lala then offers a larger amount of money than previously offered
by Rocco. After careful consideration, Dela finally accepted Lala's offer to marry Rocco.
Long story short, Rocco and Dela finally got married and lived in Hong Kong for a while. Their
domestic life is filled with debates and fights because Dela refuses to sleep in the same room
with Rocco and puts a condition that Rocco cannot fall in love with her and she also does not allow
Rocco to be close with other women while they are still married. Rocco is even more annoyed when
Dela mentions that she is a condition for Rocco to get his inheritance money, so she asks Rocco to be
nice to her. One day, before seeing his friends and Lala's lawyer, Rocco took the time to prank
Dela by scribbling on her face, responding to Dela's actions that often told him to sleep on the
living room sofa. Not long after, Lala's lawyer told Rocco that he would receive an inheritance of
more than forty-five billion. However, the money will be paid in instalments every week, as much
as two billion. On the other hand, Dela, who had just woken up, got a call from her father asking
how she was doing while living in Hong Kong. Dela said that she was fine and feeling happy.
Her father seemed so relieved and happy to hear that. Her father then thanked her because they
still had a place to live and not become homeless. The family's economy gradually got better after
Dela got a job. Her father then asked for Dela's address in Hong Kong so that their family could
come to visit there at any time. But Dela refuses to give it because she doesn't want her family
to know that she is married based on money and wealth. After hanging up the phone, Dela then
realized that Rocco had teased her by scribbling on her face. Dela, who felt very irritated,
then complained about Rocco's childish behaviour to Lala. But Rocco reasoned that it was just a
joke and apologized to Dela. After that, Dela expressed her desire to move back to Manila
to help with Rocco's work, for which she received full support from Lala. Upon returning to Manila,
Lala gave Rocco and Dela a house. Lala then advised Rocco always to take care of his wife
because Dela is a good woman and very suitable to be his wife. Hearing advice from his grandmother,
Rocco just said yes. Rocco seemed so annoyed that Dela decided to return to Manila. But Dela reminds
him again that she is the only reason Rocco can get inheritance money from his grandmother.
Even though they had returned to Manila according to Dela's wish, they did not get along and still
kept fighting over trivial matters. Dela doesn't even hesitate to ask Rocco to do household chores
such as cooking and cleaning, even though in his entire life, Rocco has never done this
because he is used to living like a king whose all necessities of life have been met. One day
in Rocco's office, Dela realizes that Rocco is facing financial problems when Antonio asks about
a check that has not been cashed. Antonio asked Rocco to contact his uncle, but Rocco refused and
instead asked Antonio to be patient. Dela then got a call that her little brother was being treated
at the hospital due to an accident and her father really needed money to pay for medical expenses.
Hearing this, Dela and Rocco rushed to visit Dela's brother at the hospital accompanied by
Javier, where Rocco then paid for all of Dela's brother's medical expenses. Dela and her family
are also very grateful for Rocco's kindness and concern. After that, Rocco received word that
Antonio had secretly visited Rocco's uncle to ask about the project, which infuriated Rocco
because Antonio acted without asking for his approval first. Rocco was even more irritated when
Javier defended Antonio by saying that Antonio was acting this way solely to save their company.
When Rocco was about to leave, he got into an argument with Dela because Dela asked about
his father, which Rocco didn't want to discuss with anyone, especially Dela whom he considered
only a 'pseudo wife'. Rocco accidentally uttered harsh words that really hurt Dela's feelings. Dela
immediately told the incident to Lala, who then told Dela about Rocco's past who hated his father
so much because his father preferred to live with his new wife and decided to leave Rocco who was
still very young at that time. After learning about Rocco's past, Dela becomes sympathetic
and feels guilty. Lala then apologized to Dela for indirectly involving her in the feud between Rocco
and his father. Lala added that Dela could end their agreement now and she would still pay in
full according to the agreement they had agreed to. They both thought that they should tell Rocco
about the deal as soon as possible, even though it might hurt Rocco even more. On the other hand,
Rocco, who feels guilty after hurling harsh words at Dela, meets an elderly couple who advises Rocco
about marriage. Rocco then met Dela at Lala's house, where he apologized to Dela for being rude.
When Lala was about to tell about the agreement between herself and Dela, Dela then stopped her
because she was not ready to face everything if Rocco knew the truth. Rocco and Dela then
went home, where they then had a heart-to-heart conversation. Since then, the relationship between
Rocco and Dela has grown closer. Especially after Dela often helps Rocco work in the office. Rocco
then apologized to Antonio and Javier for his outrageous behaviour and the three of them became
friends again. Rocco and Dela's household life became more harmonious, especially after Rocco
often spent time with Dela's family. The two of them looked so happy, like a real married couple.
One day, Dela meets Lala and tells her that she really loves Rocco and intends to reveal the
deal they made to Rocco. Dela thinks that if they continue the marriage without revealing the truth,
both Rocco and herself will feel hurt, likewise if they told Rocco the truth. Dela would also be
heartbroken because it was likely that Rocco would hate her for the rest of her life.
One night, Rocco throws a surprise party and invites his entire family, including
his father. He then introduced Dela to his father. In front of his entire family, Rocco then revealed
that he actually hired Dela to be his wife so that he could inherit from his grandmother. But now he
realizes that he is really in love with Dela and wants to fix things and start over from scratch.
When Rocco was about to propose to Dela in earnest, Dela then revealed the deal he had
made with Lala. Dela then apologized to Rocco and Lala, who told her that all of that was her plan
and that she was the one who forced Dela to do the deal.
Dela then expresses her love for Rocco, but Rocco, who is already angry and disappointed,
then rushes away from there. Dela returned home and told her father everything about it.
Her father then advised her that their family was indeed poor but still had self-respect.
The next day, Dela and her father meet Lala and return the remaining money
that Lala gave to Dela so that Dela is willing to follow her plan to marry Rocco. That night,
Lala tries to convince Rocco to forgive Dela and he seems to have melted and wants to forgive Dela.
Long story short, Dela, who is now an actress, will again take part in an audition,
where she is asked to bring all her family members to the audition. When she got there, it turned out
that the audition was held by Rocco who planned to propose Dela. Because Dela and Rocco really
loved each other, Dela finally accepted Rocco's proposal. Dela and Rocco finally got back into
a real marriage and lived happily ever after. The moral we can learn from this film is never to play
with marriage because marriage is something very sacred for two human beings who are bound in it.
Love is not the only factor that can make a marriage last forever. However,
marriage will feel empty without a soul, and it doesn't take long to destroy it without love.
