Villain In Love Chapter 5: Schemes and Shadows

Chapter 5: Schemes and Shadows

Morning at the Grace mansion. Juliette and Katherine are sitting in the study, discussing their plans.

FL’s Older Sister: Juliette Rose Carter

Mother, Isabella will never let this happen. She’s stubborn and always fights for what’s right. She’ll ruin everything for me!

FL's MOM : Katherine Grace Carter

(smirking): Isabella is naive, Juliette. She doesn’t know how the world works. And that’s her weakness.

FL’s Older Sister: Juliette Rose Carter

(frustrated): Weak or not, she loves Adrian. She’ll try to stop the wedding no matter what.

FL's MOM : Katherine Grace Carter

Then we’ll ensure she has no time to meddle in your life. For Isabella to stay out of this, she has to be single. But I’ve already found someone for her to marry.

FL’s Older Sister: Juliette Rose Carter

(shocked): You’re marrying her off? Who is this person?

FL's MOM : Katherine Grace Carter

(calmly): A man who will keep her occupied and far from Adrian. He’s influential and ambitious. She’ll be out of our way once she’s with him.

FL’s Older Sister: Juliette Rose Carter

Does Father know about this?

FL's MOM : Katherine Grace Carter

(with a sly smile): Not yet. But don’t worry. Your father will agree once I present the idea to him. He’ll see it’s the best for the family.

[Juliette hesitates but nods, trusting her mother’s schemes.] ---

College. Isabella walks into the library, trying to focus on her studies. Sophie and Emily join her shortly after.

FL BFF:Sophie Harper

Bella, you were amazing yesterday. I can’t stop thinking about that slap. It’s all over campus.

FL BFF: Emily Clarke

Seriously, you’re practically a celebrity now.

(FL): Isabella Grace Carter

(smiling faintly): Thanks, but I didn’t do it for attention. That professor crossed a line.

FL BFF:Sophie Harper

Still, it takes guts. I’m proud of you.

[The conversation shifts to the college fest’s aftermath, and the trio starts discussing their plans for the day.]

(FL): Isabella Grace Carter

I just want to get through this week. Everything feels so heavy lately.

FL BFF: Emily Clarke

(supportive): We’re here for you, Bella. No matter what.

...

Alexander Knight in his office. He’s reviewing some files but can’t get Isabella out of his mind.

Male Villain Lead (MVL):Alexander Knight

(thinking): Why can’t I stop thinking about her? She’s just a college girl… bold, yes, but there’s more to her.

[He puts down the file, looking out the window as if trying to shake the thought.]

Back at the Grace mansion. Katherine approaches Mr. Grace to subtly bring up her plans for Isabella.

FL's MOM : Katherine Grace Carter

Darling, I’ve been thinking. Don’t you think it’s time we secure Isabella’s future?

FL's DAD : Mr. Grace

(frowning): Secure? What do you mean?

FL's MOM : Katherine Grace Carter

(sweetly): She’s of age now, and I’ve found someone who could be a perfect match for her. A man who could take care of her and elevate our family’s position.

FL's DAD : Mr. Grace

Isabella has been through a lot. I’m not sure if this is the right time.

FL's MOM : Katherine Grace Carter

(firmly): This is the perfect time. Trust me, it’s for her own good.

[Mr. Grace sighs, unsure but unwilling to argue further.] ---
