Scene: Rose's Penthouse – Late Night
The city lights glowed far below, but Rose sat in darkness. No jewelry. No makeup. No red dresses. Just an old notebook in her lap, the leather worn from years of hiding.
She opened it…
And the first page?
A photo of her family. Smiling. Whole.

Flashback: Rose's Childhood – A Small House in Chiang Mai
Laughter filled the kitchen. A warm breeze rustled the curtains. The smell of curry and jasmine tea floated in the air.
> "Rosie! Roshan! Come wash your hands! Dinner's ready!"
Her mother called from the stove, flour still on her nose.
Rose ran in, dragging her big brother behind. Her father sat at the table, humming an old folk song and folding napkins into animals.
> "Papa, make a bunny!"
"You got it, princess."
He wasn't rich. He wasn't powerful.
But he gave her everything—love, hope, safety.
Her mother, a schoolteacher, taught her discipline and strength.
Her brother Roshan? A dreamer, always chasing stars and getting top scores in school.
> "One day, Rosie," he used to say, "we'll build something big. You and me. We'll make Ma and Pa proud."
And for a time… they were happy.

Scene: Present – Rose's Apartment
She touched the photo gently, tears streaming down her cheeks.
> "I didn't want diamonds," she whispered. "I just wanted them back."
Her heart ached.
Not for revenge.
Not for power.
But for a childhood stolen.

Flashback Continues – The Fall Begins
It started slowly. Her father's company—small, honest—got involved in a land project.
Investors pulled out. Money disappeared.
Then came the police. The headlines.
"Fraud. Bankruptcy. Suicide."
> "My father didn't steal," Rose hissed. "He was framed."
Her mother lost her job for "scandal by association."
Roshan dropped out of college to take odd jobs, trying to hold them together.
And one day... he didn't come home.
He was gone too.

Scene: Present – Rose Looks in the Mirror
> "You all took from me," she said coldly. "Your fathers. Your lies. Your power."
She applied her lipstick slowly. The war paint of a woman reborn in her own fire.
> "Now I'll take back everything."

Scene: Rose's Office – Her Assistant Brings a File
> "The full report, ma'am. It's worse than we thought. Nari was involved. But so was someone else…"
She opened the file.
Her eyes widened.
> "It wasn't just Pete's father."
The name on the paper?
"Thanapat Rin."
Her ex's father. The man who convinced her own love to betray her.
The man who started the fire.

Ending Monologue – Rose Narrates Over a Montage
> "I was the girl with stars in her eyes and dandelions in her hands.
But you crushed my dreams and called it business.
Now I don't dream anymore…
I build empires from my scars."
As she stares out the window, lightning cracks across the sky.
> "And I burn those who tried to break me."
