After bidding Anashia farewell, Alia (ALIA) left the safe house. She was still wearing her white dress and a long black coat over it.
Outside, heavy snow was falling in Moscow, Russia. Despite the night, the surroundings were somewhat white, but cold and deserted. Alia walked quickly forward, resolve in her eyes—but the same terror within.
A car was waiting for Alia in a relatively dark corner. Two men were standing near the car.
They were Margaret (MARGARET) and Zainkha (ZAINKHA). Margaret was Alia's childhood friend or even closer, and Zainkha was their trusted ally in this political game.
As soon as she saw Alia, Margaret rushed forward.
MARGARET
(Quickly, with worry)
"Alia! Are you okay? What's the news on Victor?"
Alia quickly went to them.
ALIA
(In a low voice)
"Let's get inside. Not here. I'm hungry, and I need to talk."
They quickly got into Margaret's car and headed towards the main street of the city.
INT. COFFEE HOUSE – NIGHT
The scene now shifts to the inside of a relatively quiet coffee house in the city. They sat in a corner where their conversation wouldn't be overheard. The warmth of the coffee and the coldness of the snow outside created a palpable, subdued tension.
The three of them—Alia, Margaret, and Zainkha—sat with their coffee cups. Their friendship was so deep that they addressed each other informally (using 'tui' in Bengali/Bangla, which is equivalent to a very close, informal "you" in English, represented here by using their first names and familiar language).
ZAINKHA
(Calm, but firm voice)
"Victor is back, Margaret said. This is dangerous. What did you do?"
ALIA
(Taking a sip of coffee, looking up)
"I put the wool over Victor's eyes. But now for the real work. Anashia is back, Zainkha."
Margaret and Zainkha both shifted. Anashia's name was like the announcement of a new game.
MARGARET
(Whispering)
"Anashia? If Victor..."
ALIA
(Pressing Margaret's hand, with caution)
"This is exactly why I called you. We must keep Anashia in our shadow now. Margaret, you will watch over her carefully."
There was a firm command in Alia's voice.
ALIA
(Looking at Zainkha, in Alia
"Victor কিন্তু অনেক চালাক, তুই জানিস। আমাদের মনে রাখতে হবে, Victor আমাদের সব দুর্বলতার খবর রাখে। Anashia-কে ব্যবহার করার সময় যেন Victor কোনোভাবেই টের না পায় যে সে আমাদের সবচেয়ে বড় শক্তি। সাবধানে থাকিস, দু'জনেই।"
Victor is very clever, you know. We must remember that Victor knows about all our weaknesses. When using Anashia, Victor must not, in any way, realize that she is our greatest strength. Be careful, both of you.)
Margaret and Zainkha looked at each other. There was friendship, caution, and a silent commitment to a tough mission in their eyes.
MARGARET
(Assuring Alia)
"Don't worry, Alia. No one will touch Anashia. We are here."
Scene: The Returning Queen
EXT. COFFEE HOUSE – NIGHT
Alia (ALIA) bid farewell to her two trusted friends, Margaret and Zainkha. Having entrusted them with the responsibility of securing Anashia, Alia quickly walked towards her expensive car parked outside.
INT. ALIA'S CAR – NIGHT
Alia's car sped through the snow-covered streets towards the luxurious Moscow penthouse. Alia's face was now a clear mask: firmness on the outside, preparation for facing Victor on the inside.
INT. VICTOR'S PENTHOUSE – FAMILY WING – NIGHT
Alia went directly to the penthouse's Family Wing instead of Victor's chamber. The room was bright and luxurious, but now excessively quiet due to Victor's power and the fear it instilled.
Alia paused as she reached the door and saw the scene inside.
Five children (among them Margaret's eldest daughter, Ava) were sitting and playing on the floor. They were likely children of Victor's family or subordinates. Their innocent laughter and playing sounds momentarily dispelled the coldness of Victor's empire.
A maid (likely not Maria, but another one) was looking after them.
Alia slowly entered the room. Her presence was unnoticed by the children engrossed in their game, but the maid immediately stood up.
MAID
(Quickly bowing her head)
"Madam Alia, you have returned. Victor Ivanovich..."
ALIA
(In a calm yet sharp voice, interrupting the maid)
"Take the children and leave this place. Now. And arrange for them to sleep."
The maid quickly bowed her head. There was no room for questioning Alia's order.
MAID
"As you command, Madam."
The maid quickly and quietly gathered the five children and led them out of the room. Ava looked at Alia one last time with innocent eyes and smiled, which brought some peace to Alia's heart.
Alia was now alone. She stood in the middle of the room where the sound of laughter and play had just been. She understood—Victor's greatest weakness was these children, and Alia's weakness was Anashia and the safety of these children.
Scene: Resistance and Possession
INT. VICTOR'S PENTHOUSE – FAMILY WING/BEDROOM DOOR – NIGHT
After the maid left with the children, Alia (ALIA) stood motionless in the middle of the room for a few moments. She was preparing herself mentally.
Alia now quickly walked towards Victor's private chamber.
INT. VICTOR'S PRIVATE CHAMBER – NIGHT
Alia silently walked towards the chamber door. A dim light was on inside. Just as she was about to open the door, the sound of a door slamming shut echoed loudly behind her!
(SOUND: The door slammed shut.)
Alia gasped and turned around. Standing at the door was Victor (VICTOR). There was no sign of playfulness in his eyes now, only pure possession and desire. He was still wearing his royal gold-embroidered attire.
Victor smiled at Alia. The smile was cold, but magnetic.
Victor slowly began to advance toward Alia. As he walked, he softly hummed a Russian Love Song.
Without a word, keeping his eyes on Alia, he unbuckled his pants' belt (or the sash of his royal garment). He took the belt in his hand, took a step towards Alia, and dropped it at her feet.
VICTOR
(In low, intense Russian)
"Твой огонь мой, и ты моя добыча."
(Romanized: Tvoy ogon moy, i ty moy dobycha.)
(Translation: Your fire is mine, and you are my prey.)
Victor came close to Alia and forcefully pulled her body, clad in the white dress, into his arms. There was a terrifying mixture of terror and extreme resolve in Alia's eyes. She knew she had to fully commit to the act now.
INT. VICTOR'S PRIVATE CHAMBER – NIGHT – "Resistance and Possession" (Continued)
Victor (VICTOR) had just dropped his belt at Alia's feet, singing a Russian song in a low voice. There was now clear desire and possession in his eyes. He pulled Alia tightly into his arms.
Alia (ALIA) felt Victor's domination over her body. Although she needed Victor to believe her act, her inner resistance forced her to subtly pull away.
But Victor was ready.
As soon as Alia took a step back, Victor swiftly grabbed her waist tightly from behind. Victor's tall and powerful body completely enveloped Alia's entire form.
VICTOR
(Whispering into Alia's ear, with intense lust)
"Don't run away, Queen. You are mine now. I have found you."
Victor squeezed his fingers into Alia's waist as if confirming his possession. This intense physical closeness between Alia's white dress and Victor's heavy royal attire symbolized the dangerous nature of their relationship.
Alia closed her eyes. She knew that now was not the time for resistance, only acting. She slowly surrendered herself to Victor's tight embrace, her long hair touching his cheek.
ALIA
(Whispering, her voice slightly trembling, in English)
"My King... your power... it overwhelms me."
