Scene: Roland Mansion – Angela’s Bedroom
Angela paced frantically, red-eyed and disheveled, her phone clutched tightly in her trembling hand. She dialed Raymond’s number again—for the fifth time in twenty minutes.
Voicemail. Again.
She screamed in frustration, throwing the phone onto her bed.
“He’s ignoring me?! After everything I’ve done—he’s ignoring me?!”
Her breathing grew uneven, her fury bubbling over. “She’s turning everyone against me. She wants to erase me, like I never mattered.”
Her eyes darkened. “She thinks I’ll watch from the sidelines while she steals my life?”
Angela stormed out.

Scene: Marcus Enterprises – Conference Room
Inside the glass-walled boardroom, Isabella stood at the head of the table in the middle of a high-stakes strategy meeting with senior department heads and stakeholders. Charts lined the walls. Discussions about restructuring, new hires, and future plans buzzed through the room.
Mercy whispered something into Isabella’s ear, and she nodded calmly, flipping through a presentation slide.
Suddenly—
BANG!
The conference doors flung open.
Angela burst in like a storm. Security and receptionists scrambled behind her, trying to catch up.
“Isabella!” she screamed, pointing an accusatory finger. “You backstabbing snake!”
The room fell into stunned silence. Phones dropped. Coffee spilled.
Isabella slowly looked up, composed as ever. “Angela... you're trespassing.”
Angela marched forward, face flushed with rage. “You stole everything from me! My fiancé, my spotlight, my life!”
Mercy stood immediately. “Guards—”
Angela lunged forward, but security intercepted her just in time, grabbing her arms before she reached the table. She thrashed against them, kicking and yelling.
“You think you’ve won? You think this company belongs to you? You’re nothing, Isabella! NOTHING!”
Gasps filled the room. Cameras from PR staff were already capturing the chaos. Isabella took one step forward, her voice cold and regal.
“Escort her out. Make sure she never sets foot in this building again.”
Angela shrieked as she was dragged back, screaming threats. “You’ll regret this, Isabella! I swear on my life—you’ll pay!”
The doors slammed behind her.
A stunned silence lingered for several seconds. Some employees still stared in disbelief. Others whispered behind their hands.
Isabella straightened her blazer. “Now... as I was saying, about the international expansion plan—”
The room slowly came back to life, though the tremor of Angela’s meltdown still hung in the air.
Mercy leaned over, murmuring, “I’ve seen a lot of wild, but that... was historic.”
Isabella didn’t flinch. “Let her scream. The louder she gets, the closer I am to victory.”

Scene: Marcus Enterprises – Press Conference Room
Isabella stood at a podium, dressed in a sleek emerald green suit. Cameras flashed.
She smiled slightly, controlled and graceful.
“Despite recent... distractions,” she began, “Marcus Enterprises remains focused on innovation and progress. Which is why I’m proud to announce our next venture—an exclusive fashion show unveiling our latest collaborative designs with top designers from Paris, Milan, and Lagos.”
Whispers and excitement spread among the press.
“The show will be open to elite clients, media houses, and business leaders. It’s more than fashion—it’s a statement of resilience, reinvention, and excellence. Just like our company.”
She stepped down as reporters shouted questions:
“Miss Marcus, how do you remain so calm under pressure?”
“Do you fear more retaliation from the Rolands?”
“Is this fashion event a distraction from the scandal?”
She didn’t answer. She simply smiled—cool, unreadable.

Scene: Upscale Lounge – Raymond & Angela
Raymond sipped whiskey as Angela approached, eyes still red from the chaos.
“You embarrassed yourself,” he said flatly.
Angela scoffed. “I was fighting for us.”
“There is no us,” Raymond snapped. “You let your mother twist everything. I lost everything... because of you.”
Angela's face twisted with desperation. “You still love her, don’t you?”
Raymond didn’t answer.
Angela leaned forward, voice low and bitter. “Then we destroy her together.”
Raymond looked up sharply. “You already tried. Look where that got us.”
He walked away, leaving her seething.

Nathan sat across from Isabella, a sleek contract folder between them.
“You really want to sign this deal?” Isabella asked, brows raised.
Nathan nodded. “Your brand deserves global backing—and I want in. Not just as an investor. As someone who believes in you.”
She paused, studying him.
“You trust me?”
“I always have.”
She slowly took the pen.

Scene: Roland Mansion – Angela’s Room
Angela paced while Mrs. Roland poured wine.
“We need to strike fast. She’s planning to shine again at that event,” Mrs. Roland said.
Angela smirked. “Then we ruin her image. One leak, one whisper... and the empire crumbles from the inside.”
Mrs. Roland raised her glass. “Let’s make this a show they’ll never forget.”
Angela grinned. “Isabella may have the crown—but I’m bringing the fire.”
