You Can’t Escape
Aria Knight
*Smirking, kneeling to Aurora’s level*
Aria Knight
Do you want to come with me, little one? I’ll buy you all the muffins you want.
Aurora Walton
*Eyes sparkling* Really?!
Eliza Walton
*Furious* Aria, stop it!
Aria Knight
*Ignoring Eliza* Of course. You like toys? I have lots of them.
Aurora Walton
*Nods excitedly* Mama never buys me many toys!
Eliza Walton
*Panicking* Aurora, come here. Now.
Aurora Walton
*Looks at Aria, then Eliza* But the pretty lady said—
Eliza yanks Aurora away from Aria’s grasp, holding her tightly.
Eliza Walton
*Coldly* Stay away from my daughter.
Aria Knight
*Chuckles* Still so stubborn, Eliza.
Eliza Walton
*Glaring* We’re leaving.
Without another word, Eliza turns and runs out of the café, Aurora in her arms.
Vivi (Aria's Assistant)
*Watching in shock* Uh… Ms. Knight—
Aria Knight
Investigate everything about her. *Coldly*
[Later That Night – Aria’s Office]
Vivi (Aria's Assistant)
*Hesitant* Ms. Knight, we found them. Eliza Walton owns a small flower shop on Rose Street. She lives in a rented apartment nearby.
Aria Knight
*Smirks* Buy it. Both.
Vivi (Aria's Assistant)
*Blinks* The shop and… the apartment building?
Aria Knight
Everything she calls ‘Home.’
Vivi (Aria's Assistant)
*Nervous laugh* Understood.
[Next Day – 1:30 PM – Kindergarten]
Aurora Walton
*Swinging her bag* Mama said she’ll take me to the park today—
A black car pulls up. The teacher turns, confused as Aria steps out, dressed in a sleek black suit.
Teacher: Miss, may I help you?
Aria Knight
*Smiles* I’m Aurora’s guardian. I’m here to pick her up.
Aurora Walton
*Brightly* Pretty lady!
Teacher: I— but her mother—
Aria Knight
*Coldly* Would you like me to call my lawyer?
The teacher hesitates. Meanwhile, Aurora happily takes Aria’s hand, trusting her completely.
Aria Knight
*Softly, brushing Aurora’s hair* Let’s go home.
[That Night – Aria’s Penthouse]
Aria Knight
*Sipping wine* She’s here.
She walks over and opens the door to see Eliza, disheveled and desperate.
Eliza Walton
*Tears in her eyes* Where is she?!
Aria Knight
*Smiling* Inside. Safe. Happier than ever.
Eliza Walton
*Voice breaking* Please, Aria… return my daughter… leave us alone.
Aria Knight
*Steps closer, whispering* I left you alone once. Never again.
