A Soulless Man
[Morning. The Whitmore mansion. The dining room is lively with chatter as the family enjoys breakfast. Suddenly, footsteps echo through the hall. Damien enters, carrying Theo in his arms.]
[Theo giggles, playing with his father’s hair, tugging at the strands with his tiny hands.]
Juliette Whitmore
(ML SIL)
(smiling, reaching out): "Come here, sweetheart.😊😊
[Theo hesitates but lets Juliette take him. Normally, he hates being touched by anyone except family, not even by the maids or caretakers. If a stranger picks him up, he cries non-stop. That’s why only family handles him.]
[Damien clears his throat, his cold gaze sweeping over the table. The room falls silent.]
Damien Whitmore( ML)
(in an icy tone): I am ready for marriage.❄️❄️
[Everyone looks at him, stunned.]
Damien Whitmore( ML)
Only for my Bella and my Theo. Don’t expect me to love someone.❄️❄️
Richard, his father, nods approvingly.]
Richard Whitmore
(ML Father)
We already found a girl for you. Eleanor, inform them.😊😊
Eleanor Whitmore
(ML Mother)
"I will 😊
[Adrian, Damien’s elder brother, sighs and gestures towards the table.]
Adrian Whitmore
( ML Brother)
At least sit down and have breakfast, Damien.
Damien Whitmore( ML)
(coldly): I’m not hungry, brother.❄️❄️
[Before Adrian can argue, a small figure runs toward Damien and wraps his tiny arms around his leg.]
Gabriel Whitmore (ML Nephew)
Uncle! Uncle! Up, up!"😊
[For the first time that morning, Damien’s cold expression softens. He picks up the five-year-old, holding him securely in his arms.]
Gabriel Whitmore (ML Nephew)
(grinning): Uncle Gab lob you. Don't go!😾😾
[Damien stares at the little boy for a moment before whispering:]
Damien Whitmore( ML)
Uncle also loves Gab. Now go and have breakfast, okay?"
[Damien sets him down gently and walks out of the dining room. The atmosphere turns heavy again.]
Eleanor Whitmore
(ML Mother)
(watching Damien leave, her heart aching): "What has my son become? A soulless man… God, please let his future wife change him. 🙏🙏
[Richard sighs and looks at his wife.]
Richard Whitmore
(ML Father)
Inform them that we want Damien and the girl to meet soon.
Eleanor Whitmore
(ML Mother)
(nodding softly): Okay, Richy.😊😊
