FADE IN:
The sound of a shattered glass echoes through the luxurious living room. Amber stands frozen near the staircase, while Evelyn reaches for her handbag.

Amber, look at me. Do you understand what you’ve done? You humiliated Evelyn in my own home, and now you’ve put everything I’ve built at risk.

I defended myself! If Evelyn can’t handle the truth, that’s her problem. Why should I apologize to someone who thinks she is better than me?

I came here to discuss a business partnership, not to be insulted. Dave, I’m sorry, but this deal is no longer going to happen.

Amber, apologize to her right now. This partnership could save my company. Please, for once, put your pride aside and think about the consequences.

No! I’m not begging her for forgiveness. If you want to choose her over me, then perhaps you never loved me as much as you always claimed.

Dave stares at Amber in disbelief. His anger slowly turns into heartbreak. He walks toward the front door, opens it, and points outside.

Get out, Amber! Leave my house. I don’t want to see you anymore. Go away and never come back. From tonight, you are on your own!

Amber stands outside in the cold night. Tears roll down her cheeks as she looks back at the mansion. Suddenly, her phone vibrates inside her handbag.

You should have listened to him. Someone knows what happened tonight. Someone knows Dave is about to lose far more than his business.

Inside his study, Dave discovers suspicious financial transactions. Millions of dollars have disappeared. Then a sealed envelope arrives.

Inside is a photograph of Amber standing beside a mysterious man. Dave recognizes the man’s face and suddenly turns pale.

No… it can’t be him. Who sent this photograph? And what was Amber doing with him three nights before everything collapsed?

His computer screen suddenly goes black. A final message appears on the screen. Dave steps back, his heart pounding, as another knock echoes through the study.

UNKNOWN MESSAGE:
You have until midnight. Find out who destroyed your company. But whatever you do, don’t trust Amber. The truth is closer than you think.
