Bound By Love, Lost By Fate
Episode-1
The soft hum of chatter filled the corridor as a tall man—around 6'1"—walked beside a woman. He wore a light blue formal shirt tucked into ankle-length grey pants, polished black shoes clicking softly on the marble floor. The woman beside him had long wavy hair cascading over a white top, paired with black trousers and a stylish brown coat.
They strolled abreast until the man paused.
Man
Eva, wait here for me. I’ll get some popcorn.
woman
(With a soft smile) Alright.
He turned toward the counter while she lingered by the corridor wall, absently shifting her weight from one leg to the other.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted nearby—a wave of voices shouting the same name.
Curiosity tugging at her, Eva stepped forward towards the noise. She stopped at the edge of a gathered crowd. Stretching on her toes, she caught glimpse of a man surrounded by fans, cameras flashing around him.
ML: Nicolas D'Angelo(Noah)
A famous movie actor
Age-27
Unknown Girl (from the crowd): “Noah! I’m a big fan! I love you!”
News Anchor (thrusting a mic forward): “Mr. Nicolas, what do you want to say about your upcoming movies?”
The tall man with effortless charm smiled warmly.
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
Hello, everyone. Thank you for your love and affection. I’ll always be grateful for the love you’ve showered me with, over the years
Crowd: "You deserve it, Noah!”
Anchor (smiling): “Sir, about your next movie…?"
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
The Jackpot.’ You’ll find every emotion in it—it’s a thriller with a twist of mystery. The teaser drops this week.
Anchor: “We’re excited to see you in a different role!”
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
Thank you.”
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
The crowd started roaring in excitement
Noah’s eyes had shifted.He was looking at the crowd and smiling seeing their reaction. Over the sea of people, his gaze locked onto a woman standing quietly at the back. His face paled—he froze.
The anchor’s voice cut through the noise.
Anchor (playful): “And… everyone’s dying to know—who’s the lucky girl Mr. D’Angelo will marry?”
Noah didn’t reply. His manager, Richard Tedro, leaned in, whispering with a soft chuckle.
Richard Tedro
Noah… speak…
But before Noah could answer, a man returned there, gently taking Eva’s hand.
Man
You’re here. I was looking for you. Let’s go.
Eva nodded, and together they walked away, disappearing into the crowd
Noah’s heart raced. He stood up abruptly.
Richard Tedro
Noah! Where are you going? The interview’s not over!
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
(low voice) Sorry, Richard… I have to go.
Richard turned to the camera.
Richard Tedro
(To the crowd) Sorry, everyone. Mr. D’Angelo’s not feeling well. We’ll continue next time.
Noah ran through the corridor, eyes scanning desperately. Richard jogged behind until he stopped, panting
Richard Tedro
Bro… who are you even looking for?
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
(Softly): “Someone… someone I once knew.”
Richard Tedro
(Exasperated) Enough riddles! Who is it?
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
*after a pause*Angela
The name hit Richard like a bolt. Without wasting a second, Tedro rushed to the mall’s control room
Richard Tedro
(To the one of the staff): I need the last hour’s CCTV footage
Recognizing him, the staff quickly obliged. Noah spotted the theatre number where the couple had entered.
Ep-2: Who is she Protecting?
Without hesitation, Noah entered the hall—disguised in a cap and mask. Richard, a security aide, accompanied him and arranged a nearby seat.
From the shadows, Noah’s eyes kept drifting toward her—Eva. She seemed lost in the film, sharing popcorn with the man beside her.
After sometime, The movie halts. The interval banner flashes across the screen. The lights come on halfway
Eva
I’m going to the washroom
As Eva exited, Noah followed silently.
At the washroom exit, Eva washed her hands, dabbing them dry with a tissue. As she turned back toward the hall, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her into a deserted corner.
A palm clamped over her mouth. She struggled fiercely.
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
(Soft but firm)Stop… stop struggling, Angela. Look… it’s me
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
*He slowly uncovered his face*
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
*loosen his grip on her*
Eva
Who are you? And who the hell is Angela? I’m Evelyn.*replied coldly*
Noah stood frozen, his breath caught in his chest.
Her voice was sharp—unfamiliar. Cold. Final.
Before he could utter a word, she turned and walked away, her heels clicking against the floor like punctuation marks to his shattered hope.
Outside the theatre, the same man stepped toward her.
Man
Eva? What happened ? Is everything okay? The movie has already started and you haven't come back. So, I came to check in...
Eva
*She just shook her head, eyes avoiding his*
Eva
I’m not feeling well. I want to go home.
Man
Is it a headache? Pain in your head again?
Eva
(Quietly) No… I just want to leave. Please.
The man nodded, gently placing a hand on her back as they started walking toward the exit.
From a distance, Noah stared at their fading silhouettes—like ghosts disappearing into the dusk of a past he couldn't grasp anymore.
Richard stepped beside him, watching Noah’s face twist with confusion, heartbreak, and disbelief.
Richard Tedro
Noah… are you alright?
Noah’s voice cracked as he spoke, more to himself than anyone else.
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
I don’t know, Richard… After all these years, I thought I’d be angry. I thought I’d ask her why. How could she leave me like that? But the moment I saw her… I couldn't help it. I was pulled back—like gravity. And then… she said she doesn’t even know me. She denied everything—denied herself. For what? For him?
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
*His fists clenched. His eyes remained fixed on the place where she had stood seconds ago.*
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
(Whispers) Why is she hiding, Richard? Who is she protecting? *in a sad tone*
Ep-3:Lost Love Or Mistake?
IN RICHARD’S CABIN – ALGEBRA ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY – DAY time
Noah and Richard are seated across from each other. Tension fills the room.
Richard Tedro
(Serious, concerned)
Richard Tedro
This is a big project, Noah. You can’t just reject it. I know you’re upset because of that girl… but you can’t completely ignore your career.
Richard Tedro
(Leans forward)
Richard Tedro
Look, working with Liam Anderson — the Liam Anderson — one of the most celebrated directors in Hollywood… this is not just an opportunity for you, but for the company as well.
Richard Tedro
Please… if not for yourself, then at least for us. Do it.
Noah stays silent for a beat, eyes distant.
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
(low, tired)
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
Give me some time, Richard.
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
*He gets up and walks toward the door.*
Richard Tedro
(calling out)
Noah—wait
Richard Tedro
If you say yes to this proposal… I promise I’ll do everything I can to find out why Angela’s been acting this way.
Noah pauses at the door. No reply. He opens it slowly. Standing just outside is LISA, his assistant, holding a file.
Richard Tedro
(To Lisa)Please… take care of him.
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
(Curtly)
No need.
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
*He walks away without looking back.*
Lisa watches him leave, worried
Lisa enters the cabin, looking worried.
Lisa(Noah's assistant)
Sir, what happened to Noah Sir? He seems really upset and disturbed
Richard Tedro
*Richard looks away, lost in thought for a moment, then speaks quietly.*
Richard Tedro
A wandering soul once found a shelter...
But the one he thought was his strength ended up becoming his weakness.
He still doesn’t know—was it love, or was it betrayal?
Richard Tedro
And now, the person standing in front of him…
Is she the lost love he’s been searching for,
or the mistake that left him confused to this very day?
Lisa(Noah's assistant)
(with a mix of confusion and concern)
Lisa(Noah's assistant)
Sir, honestly… I don’t understand your riddles. Can you please just say clearly—what are you talking about? And who exactly?
Lisa(Noah's assistant)
If it’s about Noah Sir… I know nothing about him. You only made me his assistant in name. But usually, he travels with you. You’re always with him in every meeting, every interview. Everyone sees you both as best friends—and that’s all I know.
Lisa(Noah's assistant)
I’ve asked you so many times about him—his past, his life—but you’ve always avoided the questions. And whenever anyone brings up his childhood, his past, or his love life in interviews, you always steer the conversation away. Like you're protecting him… from something.
Lisa(Noah's assistant)
Sir, it’s been two years. I’ve worked with you both like family. You and Noah Sir are like elder brothers to me. I just want to know him—not as a celebrity or a boss—but as a person, just like I know everything about you.
Lisa(Noah's assistant)
Please, this time, don’t shut me out. I heard the name… Angela. Who is she?
Lisa(Noah's assistant)
If you tell me the truth, I promise you—you won’t have to carry this burden alone anymore. I’ll stand with you. I’ll help you find the truth. Just trust me once.
