OBSIDIAN DESIRES INTO THE SHADOWS

**Title: Obsidian Desires - Episode 1: Into the Shadows** **Scene 1: The Introduction** *The episode opens with a panoramic view of the city at night, towering skyscrapers reflecting the cold glow of the moon. The camera zooms in on one building in particular—a massive, sleek structure that looms over the city like a dark sentinel. This is Drake Industries, the empire of Alexander Drake.* *Inside, the atmosphere is cold and clinical, dominated by glass, steel, and shadows. Alexander Drake stands by the floor-to-ceiling windows of his penthouse office, staring out over the city he controls. His sharp features are illuminated by the faint light from outside, his expression unreadable but intense.*

Alexander:** (in a low, dangerous tone, speaking to himself) "Power is not given, it’s taken. And those who dare to challenge me will know exactly what it means to be crushed."

*As he turns away from the window, his eyes catch a picture on his desk—Isabella Hart, her image captured during a recent business event. His gaze darkens, and he picks up the photo, his thumb tracing over her face

Alexander: (whispering to the photo) "Soon, you’ll understand that you belong to me, Isabella. There’s no escaping what’s already been decided."

The camera shifts to Isabella Hart, who is nervously preparing for a meeting in her office at Hart Enterprises. Her office is warm and inviting, a stark contrast to the cold world Alexander inhabits. Isabella glances at her reflection in the mirror, taking a deep breath to steady her nerves.

Isabella: (to herself) "It’s just a merger, Isabella. You’ve handled worse. But something about this one…"

She shakes off her uneasy feelings and grabs her briefcase, heading out the door. The tension builds as she steps into the elevator, the doors closing behind her with an ominous finality.

Scene 2: The Meeting

Isabella arrives at Drake Industries, feeling a chill as she enters the imposing building. The stark, minimalist design of the lobby adds to the sense of unease creeping into her mind. She’s greeted by Victor Reyes, who silently leads her to Alexander’s office.

The doors open to reveal Alexander sitting behind his massive desk, his eyes locked on her as she enters. His presence is overwhelming, filling the room with a dark energy that makes Isabella’s skin crawl. She forces a polite smile, trying to mask her discomfort.

Alexander: (standing, his voice smooth but with an underlying threat) "Ms. Hart, welcome. Please, have a seat."

Isabella hesitates for a brief moment before sitting down, feeling Alexander’s eyes on her every movement. The silence between them is thick with tension.

Isabella: (forcing herself to speak confidently) "Thank you, Mr. Drake. I appreciate you taking the time to meet with me. I believe this merger could be highly beneficial for both of our companies."

Alexander: (leaning forward, his gaze unrelenting) "I’m sure it will be. But I’m not here to discuss the usual details. I’m more interested in the people behind the deals. Tell me, Isabella, what are you willing to do to ensure this merger goes smoothly?"

Isabella feels a shiver run down her spine at the way he says her name, as if he’s claiming ownership of it. She meets his gaze, trying to keep her voice steady.

Isabella: (nervously) "I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make this a success. Hart Enterprises has always prided itself on integrity and dedication."

Alexander drake(ml)

Alexander: (smirking slightly) "Integrity. A commendable trait, but in my world, dedication means something more. It means loyalty, commitment... and understanding the consequences of failure."

The weight of his words hangs in the air, and Isabella feels as though she’s being slowly ensnared in a trap she didn’t see coming. She nods, unsure of what else to say, her heart pounding in her chest.

Scene 3: The First Warning

Later that night, Isabella returns to her apartment, still shaken by the unsettling meeting. She tries to focus on her work, but the image of Alexander’s piercing gaze haunts her. Suddenly, there’s a knock on her door. She opens it to find a small, ornate box with no note, just a single black rose inside.

Her hands tremble as she picks up the rose, the thorns pricking her fingers. The dark petals seem to absorb the light, as if they’re hiding something sinister within. Isabella’s phone buzzes, and she sees a text from an unknown number.

Text Message: "A rose for my rose. Consider this a reminder of what’s at stake. – A.D."

Isabella drops the phone, her mind racing. She realizes that this is no ordinary business deal—she’s being drawn into a world far darker and more dangerous than she ever imagined. And Alexander Drake is at the center of it all, his obsession with her already starting to take root.

Scene 4: The Unseen Chains

The episode closes with Alexander sitting alone in his dimly lit office, the city skyline behind him. He holds another black rose, twirling it between his fingers with a satisfied smirk on his lips.

Alexander: (to himself) "You’re already mine, Isabella. You just don’t know it yet. But you will. Soon enough."

The camera pulls back, showing Alexander’s dark figure against the backdrop of the city, a symbol of his far-reaching power and the dangerous game he’s about to play with Isabella’s life. The screen fades to black, leaving viewers with a sense of impending doom.
