Scene: Bangkok Skyline – Night
From the top floor of The Black Rose Holdings, Rose looked down at the glittering city like a goddess reborn in vengeance. Her crimson suit matched her lipstick—sharp, lethal, and screaming power. Behind her stood an empire she built from scratch.
Rose was now a billionaire.
And all that wealth?
Not for love.
For revenge.
> "Love is weakness," she whispered to herself.
"And I was done being weak the day Rin left me."

Flashback – Three Years Ago – New York
Rose stood outside a courtroom, her father's suicide still haunting her, her family's name reduced to whispers in financial tabloids.
> "You're the daughter of that fraudster," someone muttered.
She remembered clenching her jaw, filing lawsuit after lawsuit, learning how to destroy people the legal way—and sometimes not-so-legal. Her heart turned cold, but her mind became sharp.
> "I'll rise," she had said. "And when I do, I'll burn them all."

Present – Secret Strategy Room, Black Rose Holdings HQ
She tapped her red nails on the table as her assistant brought her a dossier.
Target List:
1. Rin Akarin – For betrayal.
2. Nari Wattanachai – For being the price of that betrayal.
3. Mr. Wattanachai (Pete's father) – For destroying her family.
Pete wasn't even on the list.
> "He was innocent," she said, shrugging. "But now he's in the way."
> "What about Mek?" her assistant asked.
Rose's eyes narrowed.
> "Collateral. He'll break when Pete does."

Scene Shift – Pete & Mek's Apartment
Pete: pacing like a caged lion.
Mek: leaning against the kitchen counter, arms folded, eyes serious.
> "Do you think she's really going after your family?" Mek asked.
"I don't think," Pete snapped. "I know."
> "She has money now. Power. She's not the same girl you once knew."
Pete stopped pacing. He looked at Mek, desperation in his voice.
> "Then we fight."
Mek raised a brow. "Us? Against a billionaire villainess with the wrath of a thousand heartbreaks?"
Pete stepped closer, his voice softer.
> "Not just any us. You and me. I don't care if the world burns, as long as you don't leave my side."
> Mek sighed, then smirked. "Tch. You're lucky I'm into chaotic men."

Scene: Rose's Private Vault – Same Night
She opened a hidden drawer. Inside were three items:
1. A torn photo of her and Rin.
2. A necklace gifted by Pete's sister when they were young.
3. A sealed envelope addressed to Mr. Wattanachai.
> "Time to return the favor, Uncle," she whispered.
"You killed my father with lies. I'll kill your legacy with truth."

Final Scene:
Rose stood at a podium in a press conference the next morning, wearing black and gold.
> "Today, I announce the takeover of three major Wattanachai subsidiaries under Black Rose Holdings."
Gasps. Camera flashes. Panic behind the scenes.
She smiled.
> "This is just the beginning."
And as she walked off-stage, reporters screaming her name, her eyes sparkled.
Not with love. Not with pain. But with victory.
