Chapter 1: The Deal
📍 [Location: Outside a dark mansion gate | Night]
𝚄𝚗𝚌𝚕𝚎 𝚛𝚊𝚢 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
Get out. You’re here.
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
What is this place?
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
This isn’t a hotel...
𝚄𝚗𝚌𝚕𝚎 𝚛𝚊𝚢 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
Don’t ask questions.
𝚄𝚗𝚌𝚕𝚎 𝚛𝚊𝚢 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
Just go inside and do what you’re told.
𝚄𝚗𝚌𝚕𝚎 𝚛𝚊𝚢 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
This is the only way to clear your father’s debt.
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
You said you’d help me study abroad…
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
Not sell me off!
𝚄𝚗𝚌𝚕𝚎 𝚛𝚊𝚢 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
That man inside paid millions for you, Alina.
𝚄𝚗𝚌𝚕𝚎 𝚛𝚊𝚢 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
Do not mess this up. Or you'll wish I had left you on the streets.
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
You sold me…? Like property?
𝙳𝚛𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚛
Sir Blackwood is waiting. Follow me.
📍 [Location: Inside the mansion | Dimly lit study room]
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
So you’re the girl.
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
Who… who are you?
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Your new owner.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Didn’t your uncle tell you?
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
I’m not something you can own.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Oh, sweetheart…
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
You signed the contract.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Or should I show you the part that says "obedience is required"?
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
This is wrong. I’m not staying here.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Try walking out that door.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
I’ll make sure you’re dragged back by your hair.
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
Why are you doing this?
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Because I can.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
And because I enjoy watching people break.
📍 [Moments later | Zayne stands up, walks toward her]
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Here’s rule one, Alina.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
You don’t speak unless I allow it.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Rule two — you belong to me. Body and soul.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
The sooner you accept it, the easier this will be.
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
I’d rather die.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Good. I like a fighter.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Let’s see how long that fire lasts.
📍 [Message from Unknown Number — 3 hours later]
???
Someone who knows Zayne.
In Chapter 2, where Zayne begins pushing her limits... and a dark past begins to reveal itself? 😈🔥
Chapter 2: "Beneath the Surface"
📍 [Location: Mansion Bedroom | 2 AM]
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
Why are you warning me?
???
Let’s just say… I was once where you are now.
???
But I didn’t survive like you think.
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
What did he do to you?
???
Run… while you still can.
Incoming Message — “ZAYNE BLACKWOOD”
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Still awake, Little Mouse?
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Or are you chatting with ghosts already?
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
How do you know I—?
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
I know everything that happens in this house.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
You're mine, remember?
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
Stop saying that. I’m not yours.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
You will be.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Mind. Body. Heart
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
One by one, I’ll own it all.
📍 [Next Morning | Alina steps into hallway]
The mansion is silent. Cold. Too perfect.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
(in person):
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Breakfast is at 8.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
you're late
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
You didn’t tell me the time.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Do I need to tell a prisoner when to breathe too?
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
You’re cruel.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Cruel is too soft a word.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Want to test what I’m really capable of?
📍 [Zayne grabs her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him]
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Rule three.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Never look away from me when I speak.
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
Let go of me...
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
Not until I see the fear in your eyes.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
God, you’re trembling.
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
I almost feel sorry for you.
📍 [Alina breaks free, runs toward the garden]
???
Don’t go to the east wing.
???
There’s something he’s hiding there.
???
Something that can ruin him.
📍 [Sudden voice from behind]
𝙽𝚘𝚛𝚊 𝚠𝚑𝚒𝚝𝚎 ( 𝚏𝚕'𝚜 𝚋𝚎𝚜𝚝 )
You shouldn’t trust anonymous messages here.
𝙽𝚘𝚛𝚊 𝚠𝚑𝚒𝚝𝚎 ( 𝚏𝚕'𝚜 𝚋𝚎𝚜𝚝 )
Just someone who used to believe he could love
𝙽𝚘𝚛𝚊 𝚠𝚑𝚒𝚝𝚎 ( 𝚏𝚕'𝚜 𝚋𝚎𝚜𝚝 )
Until I watched him destroy everything around him
𝙰𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚎𝚛
Why does he hate me?
𝙽𝚘𝚛𝚊 𝚠𝚑𝚒𝚝𝚎 ( 𝚏𝚕'𝚜 𝚋𝚎𝚜𝚝 )
He doesn’t
𝙽𝚘𝚛𝚊 𝚠𝚑𝚒𝚝𝚎 ( 𝚏𝚕'𝚜 𝚋𝚎𝚜𝚝 )
That’s what makes him dangerous.
📍 [Elsewhere in mansion | Zayne watching surveillance]
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
(muttering):
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
You want to dig into my secrets, Alina?
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
(smirking):
𝚉𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚍
But just know—once you step into the fire, there’s no coming back.
Want me to continue with Chapter 3, where Alina sneaks into the forbidden east wing… and discovers something shocking about Zayne’s past? 🔥
