Cold, distant, authoritative businessman.
Rarely home during Julian’s childhood.

The Arrival of the Shadow
Scene 1 – Present Day, Outside the House
ELLIAS(ML)
Elias stood before the massive, elegant doors of private residence. Not enormous, but polished, symmetrical, and effortlessly luxurious — every detail radiating wealth and power.
ELLIAS(ML)
Backpack slung over one shoulder, he hesitated. His stomach tightened. Seven years in the orphanage, seven years dreaming of this day… and now I’m really here.
ELLIAS(ML)
The wind shifted, carrying the faint scent of fresh wood polish and flowers from the manicured garden. He tightened his grip on the strap. It’s just a job. Just a job.
ELLIAS(ML)
Then, suddenly, the door swung open. A tall, sharply dressed man appeared in the doorway. He glanced at Elias without interest, his expression polite but distant.
—Scene Cut— Flashback Begins
Nine-year-old Eli woke with a sharp pain in his stomach. The scar throbbed. His parents were gone.
An old man stood by his bed, gray-haired but imposing, and a handsome young man — almost twenty — stared down at him as if he were fragile, precious, or perhaps just bewildering.
ALEX'S GRANDFATHER
“Your parents… are no more. They moved to… RD,” the old man said, voice firm yet gentle.
Eli didn’t cry. He didn’t remember them, didn’t know how they looked, how they smelled, how they held him. All he knew was loss.
Orphanage Years
Seven years passed under the watch of Alex’s grandfather, the founder of the orphanage. Eli studied diligently, dressed neatly, and ate well.
Yet, despite the guardian’s care, he often felt the invisible loneliness of an orphan. He learned to observe quietly, to speak softly, and to keep his heart careful, hidden.
Love is never enough when you have nothing to compare it to…
Meeting the Alex's Grandfather
At eighteen, Eli received a call through the orphanage staff — an unusual thing, as no one had ever called him personally.
He arrived at a house he didn’t know, and there, the old man sat in a wheelchair, older yet still commanding.
ALEX'S GRANDFATHER
Elias,” the man began, “I have a favor for you. Help me, and I will help you achieve your dreams.”
ELLIAS(ML)
Eli frowned😳. Favor? Or… job?
ALEX'S GRANDFATHER
The old man smiled, knowingly.😏
ALEX'S GRANDFATHER
“Your goal is to become a doctor, yes? Save lives?”
ELLIAS(ML)
“Yes,” Eli said, heart tightening💔. Finally, someone sees me.🥺
ALEX'S GRANDFATHER
“Then listen carefully. My grandsons, Alexander and Julian… their marriage has grown cold. Their families are worried, but they cannot intervene without proof. You will live in their house. Observe. Collect information. Report back. Protect their secrets, but tell me everything.”
ELLIAS(ML)
Eli’s chest tightened. Spy…?
He swallowed. I can do this. I have to do this. It’s my chance… my path.
ELLIAS(ML)
> “I… I’ll do it,” he said quietly.
ALEX'S GRANDFATHER
The old man’s eyes softened.🥺 “Good. I knew you would understand.”
ELLIAS(ML)
I am standing here after all this I don't know what will happen in the future but all I know is my life is going to change from here. God mercy me🙏
First Day in the House
ELLIAS(ML)
**I stood in front of the tall, polished gate, my backpack heavy on one shoulder and my small suitcase by my side. The garden beyond was immaculate, its perfectly trimmed hedges and blooming flowers giving the house an air of quiet elegance. Though not enormous, the house seemed perfectly designed for a handful of residents — intimate, refined, and imposing at the same time.**
ELLIAS(ML)
**Only one bodyguard stood at the gate. He glanced at me once, his expression unreadable, and simply said:**
MR. LEE(BODYGUARD)
Hello. You may enter.
ELLIAS(ML)
**I stepped inside, my eyes sweeping across the spacious hall. The polished floor reflected the sunlight streaming through the large windows, and the walls were decorated with understated elegance. Everything about the house was flawless, yet the emptiness pressed down on me. My footsteps echoed as I moved forward, the silence almost overwhelming.**
ELLIAS(ML)
**And then I sensed movement behind me. My heart skipped a beat as I turned, and there he was — tall, broad-shouldered, impeccably dressed, eyes sharp and piercing. Recognition hit me like a shockwave: the same gaze I had seen when I was nine, standing helpless in the hospital.**
ELLIAS(ML)
Hi… my name is Elias. I’m your new housekeeper… here to serve. 🥺
The man’s lips curved in the slightest nod.
ALEX(ML)
Okay. Clean everything.
ELLIAS(ML)
**Without another word, he walked toward the door and left. The echo of his footsteps faded, leaving me alone in the vast hall. Alone… just like the house feels, I thought, but I pushed the feeling aside and began my work.
I moved from room to room, dusting, polishing, and organizing. The house gradually regained its immaculate order, yet the quiet remained, heavy and unyielding. Night fell. I prepared dinner carefully, placing it on the table, but no one appeared. The house remained silent, and eventually, I ate quietly before retreating to my room.**
ELLIAS(ML)
**The next morning, after school, I returned to the house. The living room was calm and quiet — and then I noticed him. Lying on the sofa, his posture relaxed yet commanding, he watched the television. Every movement was precise, every line of his body almost too perfect to be real. The ethereal elegance of his presence made my chest tighten.**
JULIAN(ML)
Make breakfast. Now. 😤🔥
ELLIAS(ML)
Y-yes… right away 🥺
ELLIAS(ML)
**I moved quickly, preparing breakfast as fast as I could. I placed the dishes in front of him. He ate in silence, never looking at me. Once finished, he disappeared into his bedroom, leaving the room empty again.
Soon after, the other man appeared, calm and composed. His presence was commanding, but restrained — the kind of authority that needed no force.**
ALEX(ML)
Breakfast is ready?
Alex ate methodically, silently, then left for his company. The house was quiet once more.
ELLIAS(ML)
**I stood alone in the hall, the vast emptiness pressing down on me. The grandeur, the silence, the absence of warmth — it made me feel smaller than ever. But I reminded myself: this was my duty, my role, my new life. I had responsibilities, and I would fulfill them.**
ELLIAS(ML)
The house is… so quiet… so empty… 🥺
But I can do this. I have to… 🤍
ELLIAS(ML)
**And so, my first day ended, standing alone in a house that was beautiful, lonely, and utterly mine to care for.**
