Scene: Midnight, Rose's Private Suite – Tokyo Tower
The city glowed beneath her, but Rose's hands trembled. She stared at the file in front of her. It wasn't just another corporate document.
It was a truth bomb.
A truth that would unravel everything she believed for years.

Flashback: A Hidden Letter Left by Her Mother
> "Rose, if you ever find this… know that your father didn't fall because of Wattanachai alone. There was someone else… someone darker hiding in the shadows…"
The name at the end of the letter made her breath hitch.
Mr. Surapong Narinchai.
CEO of Narinchai International Group.
Rin's father.
The man who played both sides.
The real orchestrator.

Scene Shift – Present, Rose's Office
> "Get me everything on Surapong Narinchai," Rose ordered.
Her assistant looked hesitant. "That's Rin's father…"
> "I know who he is," she snapped. "He's the one who bought off my dad's board members. He's the one who forged the merger that destroyed our company's name. And he let Pete's father take the fall."
> "So… Pete's father was just—"
> "A pawn," Rose whispered. Her eyes narrowed. "No. A partner. But not the mastermind."

Scene: Pete and Mek's Apartment
Pete was pacing again. This time, phone in hand. "She's not backing down."
Mek leaned against the balcony railing. "That's because she still thinks your dad is the one who ruined her life."
Pete turned, frustration written across his face. "What if he didn't?"
Mek raised a brow. "Come again?"
Pete took a deep breath. "I overheard something. My dad talking on the phone—with Rin's dad. He said… 'We did what we had to. But it was your plan.'"
Mek's expression shifted.
> "Then Rose is about to go after the wrong villain."

Scene: Rose's Memory Room – Later That Night
She looked at photos from her childhood. One in particular—a group photo:
Her.
Rin.
Pete.
Nari.
Pete's dad.
Rin's dad.
> "I was surrounded by devils in suits," she muttered.
And the worst one?
The man who pretended to protect her.
Rin's father.

Scene: Pete's Father's Office
He sat in silence, watching the same press conference where Rose announced the acquisition. His fingers drummed on the table.
> "She doesn't know the full truth," he murmured.
Just then, his secretary entered. "Sir, Ms. Rose has sent you a letter."
Inside was just one line:
> "You played your part, but I found the director."
Underneath, a blood-red "R" was stamped in wax.

Final Scene: Rose in Her War Room
She updated her list.
❌ Pete Wattanachai
❌ Rin Akarin
❌ Nari
✅ Surapong Narinchai
She picked up her wine glass and toasted to herself.
> "New villain. Same vengeance."
But her smile faded slightly as she whispered one last name under her breath.
> "Rin… I trusted you once. And you gave me betrayal wrapped in love."
Her heart ached. But her eyes burned with rage.
This war wasn't over. It had just changed targets.
