ALIA'S PENTHOUSE – LATE MORNING
Alia is sitting in Victor's chair. Yuri has just left, doubt in his mind. Alia is now at the center of power. Victor's parents' inverted photograph is on the table.
Suddenly, the door opens like a storm without any sound or prior warning.
Victor (VICTOR) enters. He is no longer in ordinary clothes. He is wearing the formal attire of a Russian King or Tsar—black fabric with subtle golden embroidery, and broad epaulets on his shoulders. His face is calm, but determination is in his eyes. He has returned as if to disprove all rumors of his absence.
Victor freezes when he sees Alia sitting in his chair.
Alia smiles—but that smile is cold. She pulls open a drawer under the table and instantly takes out two golden pistols, likely from Victor's collection.
Alia quickly aims the two pistols at Victor.
Victor is shocked. Astonishment is on his face, but not fear. He stands still in his royal attire, as if ready to accept his execution.
Victor slowly takes one step forward.
VICTOR
(In a calm, deep Russian voice)
"Ты знала, что я вернусь."
(Romanized: Ty znala, chto ya vernus'.)
(Translation: You knew I would return.)
Suddenly, Alia lowers her guns. She starts laughing—first softly, then that laughter spreads throughout the room.
ALIA
(In a warm, but still controlled Bengali)
"Just playing, Victor. Right in front of you. Welcome back, My King."
Victor's harsh expression melts away. He realizes Alia didn't just want to scare him but was testing his strength. Victor laughs loudly—that laughter is free, intense, acknowledging both his love and Alia's craziness.
Victor quickly approaches Alia. Before Alia can get up from the chair, Victor hugs her tightly, right in his golden attire.
Victor lifts Alia into his arms, still laughing. He knows his Queen is now more dangerous, more powerful.
VICTOR
(Whispering in Alia's ear, in Russian)
"Ты моя. Всегда." (You are mine. Always.)
Scene: "The Dangerous Kiss"
INT. VICTOR'S PRIVATE CHAMBER – ALIA'S PENTHOUSE – LATE MORNING
Victor is laughing as he holds Alia (ALIA) in his arms. The contrast between his royal attire and Alia's modern, sharp outfit is striking.
Alia is wearing a light pink top, which suits her skin tone. Below, she wears a black pant-like garment which maintains the shape of pants in the middle but has long slits (like a Split or Slit Skirt) up to her thighs on both sides. This outfit highlights her courage and dual nature—restraint on one side, openness on the other.
Victor, holding Alia in his arms, quickly moves away from the table and kisses her fiercely. This is not just a kiss of love; it is a kiss of possession and declaration of rights.
Alia accepts the kiss, but her eyes remain open. She stares at Victor's back, covered in the golden attire—she knows that at this moment, her life's biggest source of power and her biggest enemy is kissing her.
Victor breaks the kiss. He continues to walk around the room holding Alia, as if claiming the entire empire for himself.
VICTOR
(With joy, but a cautious tone, in Russian)
"Ты моя. И твой огонь мой. Теперь мы начнем настоящую игру."
(Translation: You are mine. And your fire is mine. Now we will start the real game.)
Scene: "The Witnesses' Silence"
INT. VICTOR'S PRIVATE CHAMBER – ALIA'S PENTHOUSE – LATE MORNING
Victor is walking around, laughing, holding Alia in his arms. Their kissing and deep embrace continue.
Suddenly, the chamber door opens, and two Servants (one of them Maria) and Victor's chief Bodyguard enter. They had come to bring coffee or confirm Victor's location, likely following Yuri's instruction.
They are stunned to see Victor and Alia in this state. Despite his rigorous training, the Bodyguard is visibly surprised—his eyes widen. The servants quickly look down, their heart rates increasing from fear.
Victor remains completely undisturbed by their presence. He smiles gently at Alia, as if maintaining complete control even over this situation.
VICTOR
(In Russian, with clear authority)
"What are you looking at? Wait outside."
(Translation: Что вы смотрите? Ждите снаружи.)
Alia then steps down from Victor's arms. Her movement is calm but firm. She adjusts her clothes—the pink top, black pants/skirt. There is no shame or hesitation in her eyes, only the cold confidence of power.
Alia looks at the servants and the bodyguard. Her gaze is a silent warning: Forget what you saw.
ALIA
(In a calm but sharp voice, in Bengali)
"The coffee should arrive on time. And prepare Victor's change of clothes."
Victor places his hand on Alia's shoulder, pride in his eyes. The servants and the bodyguard quickly bow their heads and exit the room. They now know, the King has returned, and the Queen is even stronger.
Alia now stands before Victor. She once held a pistol; now she holds authority.
FADE TO BLACK.Continuation from previous scene: The Dangerous Kiss)
(Translation: You are mine. And your fire is mine. Now we will start the real game.)
Alia gives no answer, only places her hand on Victor's neck. The peace of their current moment was the silence preceding the inevitable storm.
