Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Adjusts her dress nervously*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
He’ll be here any minute… right?
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Looks at the clock*
8:45 PM…
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Smiles softly*
Happy anniversary to us.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Walks to the dining table*
*Lights the candles*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Looks at the cake*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Three years… three years of love.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Checks her phone*
No messages.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
Maybe he’s stuck in a meeting.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Pours wine into two glasses*
(He promised… he promised he wouldn’t be late today.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Sits on the couch, hugging her knees*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
Why isn’t he answering?
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Calls Damian*
…
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Phone rings*
…
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Voice mail*
“Your call has been forwarded—”
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Ends call*
(Again…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Tries calling again*
…
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Bites her lip*
(Please… Damian…)
*Suddenly her phone buzzes*
Unknown 1
I know where your husband is.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Stares at the message*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
Who are you?
Unknown 1
If you want the truth.. Go to this location.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Eyes widen*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Whispers*
No…
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(That place…?)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Hands start shaking*
(That’s not a restaurant… not a hotel…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Breathing becomes uneven*
(That’s where underworld people meet…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
That’s a mafia territory.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Laughs nervously*
This has to be a joke.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Types quickly*
My husband isn’t involved in that kind of world.
Unknown 1
He’s been there many times.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Heart drops*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Stands up suddenly*
No.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Grabs her coat*
(He wouldn’t…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Tears form*
(He loves me.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Walks out of the mansion*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Driving fast*
(Please be wrong… please be wrong…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Clutches steering wheel tightly*
(If he’s there… why?)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(What is he doing in a place like that?)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Stops the car*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Stares at the building*
(Oh my god…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Looks at the sign*
“BLACK SERPENT CLUB”
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Swallows hard*
(This is real.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Steps out*
(What am I doing here…?)
*Men with tattoos and guns stand at the entrance*
Guard
*Cold stare*
Invitation?
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Tries to speak calmly*
I… I’m looking for someone.
Guard
*Looks her up and down*
Guard
This isn’t a place for pretty girls.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Fists clench*
I need to go inside.
Unknown 1
Tell the guard you are Damian Moretti’s wife.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Eyes widen*
*Looks at the guard*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
I’m Damian Moretti’s wife.
*The guard’s face changes instantly*
Guard
*Opens the door*
Go in.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Frozen*
(What…?)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Walks inside slowly*
(The guard recognized his name…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(What does that mean?)
*Inside is loud music, smoke, men with weapons, women dancing*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Looks around in fear*
(Where am I…?)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Heart pounding*
(This isn’t Damian’s world…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Or maybe… it is.)
Unknown 1
Second floor.
Room 309.
Unknown 1
Don’t make a sound.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Breath shaky*
…
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Starts walking upstairs*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Each step heavier*
(Please… don’t let it be true.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Please… Damian…)
*She reaches the hallway*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Stands in front of room 309*
…
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Hand trembling as she reaches for the door*
(I can still turn back…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(I can still pretend I never came.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Tears fall*
But I need to know.
*She pushes the door open slowly*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Eyes widen in shock*
*Damian is on the bed… with a woman*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Voice breaks*
No…
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Stares*
…
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Frozen*
A-Ava?!
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Slowly turns his head*
…
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Cold expression*
You weren’t supposed to come.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Whole body shaking*
(He… he knew.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(He knew I would come.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Tears streaming*
It’s… it’s our anniversary…
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Smirks lazily*
So?
Ava Sinclair(FL)
You’re cheating on me…
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Gets up quickly*
Ava please listen—
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Screams*
DON’T TOUCH ME!
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Pulls Elena back to him*
Relax.
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Kisses Elena’s shoulder*
She’s dramatic.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Hands cover her mouth*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(That’s my best friend…& my husband)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(And they’re destroying me like it’s nothing.)
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Crying*
I didn’t mean for it to happen like this…
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Laughs bitterly*
How long?
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Silent*
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Smirk*
Since last year.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Eyes widen*
…...A year??
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Shrugs*
You never let me touch you.
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
A wife who refuses her husband…..Shouldn’t complain when he finds someone else.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Tears drop*
(He’s blaming me…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
I trusted you.
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Gets up slowly*
Trust is for fools, Ava.
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Walks closer*
And you…
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Smirks*
You’ve always been too innocent.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Steps back*
Don’t come near me.
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Tilts head*
Or what?
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Voice shaking*
I’ll leave you.
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Laughs darkly*
Leave?
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Leans close*
Sweetheart…
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
You think you can just walk away from me?
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Heart drops*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(What does he mean…?)
Chapter 2
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Grabs Ava’s wrist harshly*
You think you can leave me?
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Eyes filled with tears*
Let go of me!
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Pulls her closer*
You’re my wife.
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Smirks*
You don’t get to walk away just because your heart is broken.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Voice shaking*
You cheated on me…
Ava Sinclair(FL)
With my best friend…
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Cold laugh*
And?
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Touches her cheek mockingly*
Do you know how many would kill to be in my position?
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Slaps his hand away*
I don’t care!
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Eyes darken instantly*
Careful.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Breathing heavily*
I’m not scared of you.
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Leans close, whispering*
You should be.
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Gets off the bed slowly*
Ava…
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Fake sweet voice*
Why are you acting like a victim?
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Turns to her, trembling*
Shut up…
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Smirks*
No.
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
I’ve waited years to say this.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Eyes narrow*
What…?
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Steps closer*
You always looked at me like I was poor trash you felt sorry for.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Shocked*
I never—
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Laughs loudly*
Don’t lie!
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
You had everything.
The money.
The beauty.
The perfect parents.
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Eyes filled with hatred*
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
And you still acted like you were humble.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Tears fall*
Elena… my parents loved you like their own daughter…
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Smirks wickedly*
Exactly.
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
They loved me.
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Voice turns sharp*
But they loved you more.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Whispers*
What are you saying…?
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Walks around Ava like a predator*
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
I wanted your life.....
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
So I took it.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Confused*
Took…?
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Leans close to her ear*
Your parents died because of me.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Eyes widen in horror*
…
Ava Sinclair(FL)
You’re lying.
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Smiles*
Am I?
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
That night…
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
I cut the brakes.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Face turns pale*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Voice cracks*
You killed them…
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Shrugs*
They were in my way.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Looks at Damian with trembling eyes*
Damian…
Ava Sinclair(FL)
Tell me she’s lying.
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Silent*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Steps closer to him*
Damian…?
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Avoids her eyes*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Whispers*
You knew…
Ava Sinclair(FL)
You knew all along…
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Cold*
It was handled.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
Handled…?
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Laughs in disbelief*
My parents were murdered…
Ava Sinclair(FL)
And you say it was handled?!
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Grabs her shoulders*
Stop yelling.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Pushes him away*
DON’T TOUCH ME!
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Turns to Elena suddenly*
You—
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Slaps Elena hard*
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Gasps*
Ah!
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Eyes widen*
You b*tch!
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Grabs Elena’s hair*
YOU KILLED MY PARENTS!
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Screams* Damian!!
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Grabs Ava from behind*
Enough!
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Tries to fight back*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
Let me go!
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Throws her to the floor*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Groan in pain*
Ah…!
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Looks up, trembling*
Damian…?
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Eyes cold*
You don’t get to touch her.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Laughs bitterly while crying*
So that’s it…
Ava Sinclair(FL)
You protect her…
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Walks closer*
I protect what belongs to me.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Stands up shakily*
I was your wife…
Ava Sinclair(FL)
I was the one who loved you.
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Punches her stomach multiple times*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Chokes*
UGH—!
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Falls to her knees*
*Cough blood*
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
*Smirks*
Pathetic.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Shaking uncontrollably*
(He hit me…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(He actually hit me…)
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Grabs her hair*
You’ll learn your place.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Weakly*
Monster…
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Raises his hand again*
Say that again.
*Suddenly the door bursts open*
Unknown 1
*Turns quickly* Boss—!
*A smoke bomb drops on the floor*
*The whole room fills with thick smoke*
Elena Vasquez (Damian's secretary)
What the hell?! *Coughing*
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Shouts* WHO DID THIS?!
Unknown 1
*Gun out* Protect the boss!
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Coughing*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(What’s happening…?)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(I can’t breathe…) *Vision blurry*
*A strong arm wraps around Ava*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Flinches*
W-Who…?
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Voice low*
Shh.
Unknown 1
*Lifts her up carefully*
Unknown 1
*Carrying her out*
You’re safe now.
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
*Roars in anger*
AVA!!!
Damian Moretti(AVA's HUSBAND)
FIND HER!
*The unknown man runs through the hallway, holding Ava tightly*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Half-conscious*
(He’s… saving me…?)
*Outside, a black car is waiting*
Unknown 1
*Places her gently inside*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Breathing shakily*
Who… are you…?
Unknown 1
*Eyes locked on the road*
Unknown 1
I Never thought things would turn out like this.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Looks at him weakly*
Unknown 1
*Jaw clenches*
I’m sorry.
Unknown 1
I never thought he would hit you.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Tears fall silently*
(He knows Damian…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Who is he…?)
Unknown 1
*Glances at her bruises*
Unknown 1
*Voice turns dangerous*
Unknown 1
What it means…To touch my people.
*eyes dark*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Heart pounds*
(…My people?)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Whispers*
Who… are you?
Rafael DeLuca(ML)
Rafael DeLuca.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Breath catches*
(DeLuca…?)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(What did I get involved in…?)
Rafael DeLuca(ML)
*Looks at her*
Rest.
Rafael DeLuca(ML)
Because when you wake up…
Rafael DeLuca(ML)
*Voice low*
Your life will never be the same.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Slowly closes her eyes*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Am I being saved…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(or stolen?)
Chapter 3
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Opens her eyes slowly*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Where am I?)
*Blinks slowly, the ceiling unfamiliar—dark wood, soft golden light spilling from hidden lamps*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(This isn’t my room…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*tries to move—then freezes as pain shoots through her body*
*Breath catches sharply, her hand immediately gripping her ribs*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(It hurts… everywhere.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Feels like my body got crushed…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Slowly pushes herself up, trembling*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Blankets slide off her body*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(What am I wearing?)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*looks down—dress is gone, replaced with an oversized black shirt, sleeves falling past wrists*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Fingers clutch the fabric instantly*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(This isn’t mine.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Someone changed my clothes.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Breathing gets shallow*
(No… no, think...if something happened to me… I would know.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*quickly checks herself under the fabric*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Nothing happened.... Thank God. I’m okay)
*Shaky breath escapes*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Okay… so I’m not violated.)
She swings her legs off the bed.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Tries to stand—immediately stumbles*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*grabs the bedpost, jaw clenched*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(I can’t even stand properly…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(If I’m kidnapped… I’m dead.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(I need to escape.)
She limps toward the mirror.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Stops in front of it*
Bruises bloom across her cheekbone.
Her lip is split.
Faint fingerprints stain her throat.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*slowly touches her neck*
*flinches*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(He really did it.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(My husband really tried to kill me.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Laughs in broken, disbelieving*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
Three years...
Ava Sinclair(FL)
I was proud of that marriage.
*Voice drops*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(I brought that woman into my home…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(I called her my best friend…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(And she watched my life fall apart like it was entertainment.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(I should’ve listened to my instincts.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(I should’ve noticed Elena’s jealousy.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(I should’ve questioned why Damian never talked about his “business.”)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(My parents…)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Their brakes… cut… and I believed the police report like an idiot.)
Her mouth opens slightly, but no sound comes out.
Then suddenly—her face crumples.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*covers mouth as a sob escapes*
*shoulders shake violently*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…)
She wipes her tears roughly, angry at herself for breaking.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Don't cry .... don't..)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(No. Not now.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(If I stay here thinking, I’ll break.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Crying won’t get you out.)
She looks around the room for anything she can use.
A heavy crystal candle holder sits on the table.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Takes it, grip shaky but determined*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(If someone tries to touch me… I’ll smash their skull.)
She limps toward the door.
Presses her ear against it.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(No voices....... Good)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*slowly steps out of the room*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Don't make any sound.... just breath)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(If I make noise, I die here.)
She moves quietly, staying close to the walls, limping but careful.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Don’t get caught.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Just find a way out.)
Marble floors, dim gold lighting, walls decorated with expensive paintings.
The kind of luxury that doesn’t feel warm.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
*Steps out barefoot*
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(This is not a normal house.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(This is a fortress.)
She begins moving silently, her steps light despite the pain.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(I don’t know where I am.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(But I know one thing.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(This isn’t normal.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(And no normal person has armed guards in their hallway.)
She reaches a corner and pauses, leaning slightly against the wall.
Her fingers are trembling.
But from adrenaline and shock trying to keep her alive.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(Okay… Ava.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(You’ve handled hostile boardrooms.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(You’ve handled investors who wanted your blood.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(You can handle this.)
But her own thoughts betray her.
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(No you can’t.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(This isn’t business.)
Ava Sinclair(FL)
(This is something darker.)
A faint click echoes somewhere above her.
In the security room, screens glow softly.
Ava’s figure moves through the halls like a shadow
unknown 3
She’s sneaking out.
*grinning*
unknown 4
*Leans on the desk, eyes amused*
unknown 2
She looks like she walked out of a myth.
unknown 3
She’s headed toward the outer corridor.
unknown 4
What?? How!.....but still She’s smarter than the average rich wife.
*mock gasp*
