EPISODE 3 — “Welcome to Your Cage.”

[The SUV stops outside a vast, shadowed estate — gates taller than freedom.]
Blake Carter (ML)
Blake Carter (ML)
Out.
Aria Lane (FL)
Aria Lane (FL)
No “welcome home”? Oh right. This isn’t home. It’s a sentence.
Blake Carter (ML)
Blake Carter (ML)
Home is wherever I tell you it is.
[Inside the mansion – cold marble floors, staff avoid eye contact]
Aria Lane (FL)
Aria Lane (FL)
Why is it so quiet?
Blake Carter (ML)
Blake Carter (ML)
You’ll get used to silence. It listens better than people do.
Aria Lane (FL)
Aria Lane (FL)
You act like this is normal. Like dragging someone into your world is… fine.
Blake Carter (ML)
Blake Carter (ML)
It is normal. In mine.
[He opens a door – a grand room, sterile and untouched.]
Blake Carter (ML)
Blake Carter (ML)
This is where you sleep. Alone.
Aria Lane (FL)
Aria Lane (FL)
Good. I don’t want you near me.
He steps closer, voice still cold, low.
Blake Carter (ML)
Blake Carter (ML)
Let me make something clear, Aria. You're here because I allowed it. Not because you belong. Not because you’re safe. Because you're mine.
📜 [He places a folded paper on the bed]
Aria Lane (FL)
Aria Lane (FL)
What’s this?
Blake Carter (ML)
Blake Carter (ML)
Rules. Read them. Break them, and I break something else.
She didn’t flinch. Not because she was brave. But because when you’ve been betrayed by your own blood... Even monsters start to feel familiar.
Blake leaves. The door shuts — not slammed, but final. And the silence returns.
📱 [Her phone buzzes — only one bar of signal. A message from Lena.]
Lena Moore (FL’s BFF – Hacker)
Lena Moore (FL’s BFF – Hacker)
Are you okay? Just say one word. Anything. Please.
Aria Lane (FL)
Aria Lane (FL)
(typing… stops. Deletes. Turns off phone.)
It wasn’t the mansion that scared her. Not the guards. Not the rules. It was how easily she walked into the cage… And how quiet the lock sounded when it closed.
