The Villainess Left the SCRIPT " [Season 1[
5 Under the same roof
Setting: The shared house. Early evening. The house is quiet, with a lingering tension in the air. Scarlet walks into the kitchen, still in her same clothes which she wore at clg, quietly humming to herself as she pours a glass of water. Her movements are soft, careful-like she doesn't want to disturb anything
Suddenly, the front door slams. Footsteps. Fast. Angry
ASTRID FERNANDEZ (villainess)
(off-screen, bitterly): Don't tell me you're playing the good little housewife now too
Scarlet turns, startled. Astrid appears in the doorway, arms crossed, face full of disgust
SCARLETT FERNANDEZ (female lead)
(gently): I was just getting some water. Do you want some?
ASTRID FERNANDEZ (villainess)
(mocking): Wow. So sweet. So polite. As always
SCARLETT FERNANDEZ (female lead)
(softly): I'm trying, Astrid. I know things have been hard... I just want us to get along
ASTRID FERNANDEZ (villainess)
(laughs darkly): Get along? Are you serious
She walks closer, cornering Scarlet against the counter
ASTRID FERNANDEZ (villainess)
(low, angry): You walk around this house like you belong here. Like you re part of this family. But you're not. You're nothing. Just some replacement daughter your mom shoved into my life
SCARLETT FERNANDEZ (female lead)
(hurt, quietly): I never tried to take anyone's place...
ASTRID FERNANDEZ (villainess)
(furious): But you did! You did! Dad looks at you like you're this perfect little angel. You cook. You clean. You smile. And everyone just eats it up
Scarlet's eyes fill with tears, but she doesn't say anything. She just grips the glass tighter in her hand
ASTRID FERNANDEZ (villainess)
(voice shaking with rage): You don't get it, do you? You ruined everything. My dad barely talks to me anymore. My house became yours. And you act like you're the one being bullied.
SCARLETT FERNANDEZ (female lead)
(finally speaks, voice breaking): I never wanted that. I never asked for any of this...
ASTRID FERNANDEZ (villainess)
(spitefully): But you got it anyway. And you wear it like a crown.
She reaches out and smacks the glass from Scarlet's hand -it shatters across the floor. Scarlet gasps, backing up quickly, heart pounding.
Footsteps are heard upstairs-Astrid's father (Scarlet's stepfather). Astrid turns away quickly, voice suddenly calm
ASTRID FERNANDEZ (villainess)
(mocking sweetly): Better clean that up before someone slips, little princess
She walks off like nothing happened, leaving Scarlet trembling in the kitchen, tears slipping silently down her cheeks as she kneels to pick up the glass shards
SCARLETT FERNANDEZ (female lead)
