Scene 25: The Trap is Set
(INT. KORVEX CORPORATION – KARA’S PRIVATE OFFICE)
Kara stands by the window, looking down at the city she now owns.
She had expected Isabelle to crumble. But she didn’t expect what came next.
A knock. Damon steps in, holding a folder.
DAMON
You need to see this.
He places the folder on her desk. Kara opens it.
Inside—
A photo of Sebastian and Isabelle, taken years ago. But that’s not what shocks her.
It’s the document beneath it.
A legal agreement.
One that suggests Sebastian once protected Isabelle from something.
Kara’s smirk fades.
She wrote this novel. She knows its secrets.
But this?
This was not in the original story.

Scene 26: The Confrontation
(INT. BLACKWOOD MANSION – STUDY)
Sebastian is pouring himself a drink when Kara walks in, holding the folder.
She tosses it onto the desk.
KARA
Explain.
Sebastian glances at it, his expression unreadable.
Then—he exhales slowly.
SEBASTIAN
Where did you find this?
KARA
So it’s true.
Sebastian looks at her, something dark flickering in his eyes.
SEBASTIAN
There are things about my past, Kara, that you don’t know.
Kara folds her arms.
KARA
Then tell me.
Sebastian hesitates.
Then—
SEBASTIAN
Isabelle didn’t just leave me. She had to. And I was the one who made sure of it.
Kara’s pulse quickens.
KARA
Why?
Sebastian clenches his jaw.
SEBASTIAN
Because if she had stayed—she would’ve been killed.

Scene 27: The Shadow Behind It All
(INT. UNKNOWN LOCATION – SECRET MEETING)
A man sits in a darkened room, watching a screen.
News articles flash—Kara’s rise, Isabelle’s fall, Sebastian’s scandal.
A slow, deliberate chuckle.
UNKNOWN MAN
Interesting.
He reaches for his phone, dialing a number.
UNKNOWN MAN
It’s time to remind the Blackwoods who really owns this city.
Scene 28: The Unveiling
(INT. BLACKWOOD MANSION – MIDNIGHT)
Sebastian stares at his laptop screen, his fingers hovering over the keys.
He had asked Damon to investigate something.
Now, as the report loads, he finds himself holding his breath.
"KARA BLACKWOOD, CEO & OWNER OF KORVEX CORPORATION."
His heart stops.
Line after line details her empire.
Global investments. Political ties. Military-grade security. Tech innovations rivaling the world’s biggest firms.
Kara isn’t just wealthy.
She is untouchable.
Sebastian exhales sharply, running a hand through his hair.
How had he missed this?
And more importantly—
Who the hell is his wife?

Scene 29: The Enemy’s Fear
(INT. UNKNOWN LOCATION – PRIVATE SUITE)
The real enemy—the one pulling strings behind the scenes—leans back in his chair.
His underlings shift nervously as he reads the latest intelligence report.
UNKNOWN MAN
Korvex Corporation.
He taps his fingers against the desk.
UNKNOWN MAN
I underestimated her.
A chuckle—low, dark, amused.
For the first time in years, he feels challenged.
UNKNOWN MAN
Find out everything about Kara Blackwood.
A beat.
UNKNOWN MAN
I want to know exactly who we’re dealing with.

Scene 30: Kara’s Power Move
(INT. KORVEX CORPORATION – PRIVATE HELIPAD)
Kara steps onto the helipad, the city lights glittering below.
She adjusts her coat, exuding pure dominance.
Damon hands her a tablet.
DAMON
The enemy is moving. They’re watching you now.
Kara smirks.
KARA
Good. Let them.
She taps the screen, sending an encrypted message.
Within seconds—
Bank accounts freeze. Properties are seized. A major corporate deal crumbles.
The enemy thinks he’s hunting her?
No.
She’s already inside his walls.
And she’s about to burn his empire down.
Scene 31: The Enemy Strikes
(INT. BLACKWOOD CORPORATION – EXECUTIVE FLOOR)
Sebastian storms into his office, his face dark with tension.
His phone buzzes—Damon.
DAMON
(on phone) We have a problem.
Sebastian already knows.
His company’s stocks have taken a sudden hit. Key investors are pulling out. His legal team is overwhelmed.
Someone is attacking Blackwood Corporation from the inside.
Sebastian grips the phone.
SEBASTIAN
Who’s behind this?
A beat.
Then Damon speaks, his voice heavy.
DAMON
It’s Kara.
Sebastian freezes.
SEBASTIAN
...What?
DAMON
She’s making her move, Sebastian. And she’s not holding back.
Sebastian slowly lowers the phone, his mind racing.
Kara isn’t just fighting back.
She’s taking over.

Scene 32: The Takeover
(INT. KORVEX CORPORATION – WAR ROOM)
Multiple screens flash with financial data, live news updates, and security feeds.
Kara stands at the center, calm, powerful, in control.
Her team is locked in—executives, legal advisors, cyber experts.
DAMON
Blackwood Corporation’s defenses are weaker than expected. You could take full control within weeks.
Kara taps her fingers on the table, her mind working.
Sebastian was smart. Ruthless. A natural-born businessman.
But he had one weakness.
He had never expected her.
KARA
Then let’s accelerate the timeline.
A murmur of agreement spreads through the room.
Kara smiles slightly.
She didn’t come to play.
She came to own everything.

Scene 33: Isabelle’s Desperation
(INT. HIDDEN SAFEHOUSE – NIGHT)
Isabelle paces, her hands clenched into fists.
She had run to the biggest enemy in the city, hoping he’d protect her.
Now?
She’s realizing she’s just another pawn in his game.
A low voice cuts through the silence.
UNKNOWN MAN
Kara Blackwood is proving... difficult.
Isabelle scoffs, trying to mask her panic.
ISABELLE
Then destroy her.
The man smirks.
UNKNOWN MAN
Oh, I intend to. But first—
He leans forward, his eyes cold.
UNKNOWN MAN
I need to know exactly who she is.
Isabelle swallows hard.
Because the truth?
Even she doesn’t know anymore.
---
Scene 34: The Confrontation
(INT. BLACKWOOD MANSION – MIDNIGHT)
Sebastian is waiting for her.
Kara steps inside, unfazed.
SEBASTIAN
Tell me.
His voice is low, controlled. But there’s fire in his eyes.
SEBASTIAN
How long have you been planning this?
Kara tilts her head, her lips curving.
KARA
Since the moment I married you.
Sebastian steps closer, studying her.
This woman—his wife—wasn’t the same person he had ignored for so long.
She was dangerous.
And for the first time—
He doesn’t know if he wants to stop her or worship her.
SEBASTIAN
You’re not who I thought you were.
Kara smiles.
KARA
No, Sebastian. I’m so much more.
Scene 35: The Revelation
(INT. BLACKWOOD CORPORATION – CEO’S OFFICE)
Sebastian stands at his desk, looking out over the city.
Everything is falling apart.
His empire—his legacy—is on the verge of collapse.
His mind races. Who was behind this? Why is this happening now?
Then, the door creaks open.
Kara steps in, as poised and collected as ever.
KARA
You know, I’m starting to think we’ve been playing the wrong game.
Sebastian turns, eyes narrowing.
SEBASTIAN
What do you mean?
Kara steps forward, her eyes locking onto his with an intensity that makes him pause.
KARA
You’re still thinking of this as a business transaction.
A beat.
KARA
It’s not.
She drops a file onto his desk.
KARA
This is the intel we need to take down our real enemy.
Sebastian stares at the file.
For the first time, he notices the faint trace of concern behind her calm demeanor.
KARA
You never asked me why I’ve been fighting so hard for you.
Sebastian glances at her, his brow furrowed.
SEBASTIAN
Because you’re using me?
Kara sighs, as if the question is the most frustrating thing in the world.
KARA
No, Sebastian. Because I’ve always had your back.

Scene 36: The Decision
(INT. BLACKWOOD MANSION – NIGHT)
Sebastian walks down the hall, his mind clouded.
Kara’s words keep echoing in his head.
He reaches the study—she’s standing by the window, watching the skyline.
He watches her for a moment, unsure of what to say.
Finally, he speaks.
SEBASTIAN
Tell me why.
Kara doesn’t turn, but her voice is steady.
KARA
Because when I married you, it wasn’t about the money. It wasn’t about revenge.
She pauses, her gaze softening.
KARA
It was because I saw the man you could be, not the one everyone else sees. I’ve always known the truth. You’re not your past, Sebastian.
Sebastian’s chest tightens. He steps forward, his heart racing.
SEBASTIAN
And I never realized it...
Kara finally turns, her eyes locking onto his.
KARA
I never stopped believing in you, Sebastian. Even when you didn’t believe in yourself.
Sebastian stands still for a moment, everything clicking into place.

Scene 37: The Final Battle
(INT. KORVEX CORPORATION – BOARDROOM)
Kara stands in front of her entire board, looking every bit the powerful CEO she’s become.
She’s not just fighting for herself anymore.
She’s fighting for everything they’ve built.
And for Sebastian, the man she’s come to love more than she ever expected.
KARA
This ends tonight.
She taps the screen, sending out the final blow to their enemies.
She’s never been more sure of herself.
And for the first time, Sebastian isn’t standing in her way.
---
Scene 38: The Aftermath
(INT. BLACKWOOD MANSION – LIVING ROOM)
Sebastian stares at Kara, his heart pounding.
They’ve won.
He can’t believe it—he finally gets it.
Kara didn’t do this for herself. She didn’t do it for power.
She did it for him.
SEBASTIAN
Kara...
She looks at him, her expression softening.
KARA
I told you I had your back.
For the first time, Sebastian smiles—a real smile.
And in that moment, he knows.
Kara is the only person he can trust. The only one who’s ever truly had his back.
And he’ll never let her go.
