INT. DAVE’S LUXURY MANSION – AFTERNOON

Dave enters the living room with his close friend Stevie. Omni is standing near the sofa.

Omni, I want you to meet someone special. He’s my close friend, Stevie.

Hello, Omni. It’s really nice to meet you.

Hello, Stevie. It’s nice to meet you too.

Stevie looks at Omni with growing interest. He finds her beautiful and charming.

You two can talk for a while. I have some important work to finish. I’ll be back shortly.

Dave leaves the room. Stevie immediately turns his attention toward Omni.

So, Omni, how long have you been working for Dave?

I’ve been working with him for some time now.

And if you don’t mind me asking, how much does Dave pay you?

Why do you want to know?

I’m just curious. Perhaps there’s something better I can offer you.

Omni tells him her salary.

That’s all? Listen, I can offer you twice that amount. If you work for me, you’ll earn much more money.

Twice as much? Are you serious?

Absolutely. Think about it. Opportunities like this don’t come every day.

INT. OMNI’S ROOM – EVENING

Omni sits alone on her bed, thinking about Stevie’s offer. She checks her bank balance.

If Stevie really gives me double the salary, I could save much more money and improve my lifestyle.

Her phone suddenly rings. It’s Stevie.

Hello?

Have you made your decision?

I’ve been thinking about your offer. Okay, I’m ready to work for you.

Excellent decision, Omni. You’ll never regret it.

I hope so.

The call ends. Omni has made her decision, unaware of the trouble waiting ahead.

INT. DAVE’S OFFICE – NEXT MORNING

Dave is reviewing important business documents when Stevie enters with Omni.

Good morning. Is everything okay?

Actually, Dave, we have something to tell you.

Dave, I’ve decided to work with Stevie from today onward.

What? Why?

Because I offered her a better opportunity. I’m paying her twice what you were paying her.

Is that true, Omni?

Yes, Dave. I’ve made my decision.

Sometimes people deserve better opportunities. Not everyone wants to remain in the same place forever.

There’s a difference between finding a better opportunity and disrespecting someone who trusted you.

Don’t take it personally, Dave. It’s just business.

Fine. If that’s what you’ve decided, I won’t force you to stay.

Stevie smiles arrogantly. Dave watches them leave, sensing something is wrong.

INT. STEVIE’S PRIVATE OFFICE – AFTERNOON

Omni sits across from Stevie. He closes the office door and walks toward her.

Omni, there’s something I’ve wanted to tell you for a long time. I didn’t hire you only because of your work. I hired you because I like you.

What do you mean?

From the first moment I saw you, I felt something special. I wanted an opportunity to spend more time with you.

Stevie, I should tell you something too. When I first saw you, I also thought you were very nice. I liked you from the beginning.

Really? Then I want you in my life. Will you marry me?

Yes, Stevie. Why wouldn’t I? I’d be happy to marry you.

Stevie smiles happily. He takes her hands and moves closer. They begin kissing passionately, forgetting everything outside the room.

INT. STEVIE’S PRIVATE OFFICE – CONTINUOUS

The office door slowly opens. Dave stands at the entrance. He has come looking for Stevie.

But the moment he looks inside, he freezes. He sees Stevie and Omni kissing.

No… This can’t be happening.

Stevie notices Dave and immediately steps away from Omni.

Dave…!

So this is what you’ve been doing behind my back?

Dave, listen. I can explain—

SHUT UP!

I gave you a place in my home. I trusted you. I treated you like my own brother!

Dave, things just happened. We didn’t plan any of this.

You deliberately offered her double the salary. You convinced her to leave my company. And now you’re telling me nothing was planned?

Dave, I’m sorry…

Was money really more important to you than honesty?

Dave’s eyes fill with anger and disappointment.

INT. DAVE’S MANSION – EVENING

Dave grabs Stevie by the collar, unable to control his anger.

I brought you into my house because I considered you my friend! I shared my success with you! I gave you a position in my business!

Dave! Let me go!

You were never worthy of my trust!

Dave pushes and strikes Stevie. Stevie stumbles backward near a chair.

Dave! Stop! Please!

Get out of my house!

You’re making a huge mistake!

The mistake was trusting you! From this moment onward, our friendship is finished.

Dave calls his security manager and orders him to cancel Stevie’s access and review their business partnership.

Remove his position and access to my business. I want an immediate review of our partnership.

Understood, sir.

Stevie realizes that he has lost Dave’s friendship, home, and business trust.

INT. DAVE’S MANSION – MAIN HALL – NIGHT

Omni stands near the staircase with tears in her eyes. Dave walks toward her.

And you, Omni. You need to leave too.

Dave, please. Just give me one chance to explain.

What explanation can change what I saw?

I made a mistake. I know that. But please don’t throw me out like this.

You made your decision when you accepted Stevie’s offer. You made another decision when you chose to betray my trust.

I never wanted to hurt you.

But you did. Take your belongings and leave. I don’t want either of you in my house anymore.

Omni picks up her handbag. Stevie waits near the entrance.

Come on. Let’s go.

I’m sorry, Dave.

Dave turns away. The security guards open the door, and Stevie and Omni leave the mansion.

INT. DAVE’S LIVING ROOM – LATE NIGHT

Dave sits alone on the sofa. The mansion is silent. He looks at an old photograph of himself and Stevie.

I never imagined that the two people I trusted would be the ones to hurt me.

He places the photograph face down on the table. Suddenly, his phone rings. It is Amber.

Hello, Amber.

Dave? You sound different. Is everything okay?

No, Amber. Nothing is okay. Stevie betrayed me. And Omni did too. I caught them together in my office.

What? Stevie? Your own friend?

Yes. I trusted him with everything.

Dave, don’t let this destroy you. Some people only stay close when they have something to gain.

I know. But I will never trust Stevie again.

You need to stay strong. I’m coming to see you.

Dave ends the call and looks outside the window, wondering how his life changed so suddenly.

EXT. LUXURY HOTEL – NIGHT

Stevie and Omni stand outside a hotel. Stevie’s face is bruised. Omni looks worried.

Stevie, what are we going to do now? Dave has thrown us out. You’ve lost your position in the business too.

Don’t worry. I’ll figure something out.

But what about our future?

I told you I would give you a better life. And I will.

Stevie takes out his phone. A mysterious message appears.

UNKNOWN NUMBER:

“The plan failed. Do you still want to continue?”

Stevie quickly locks his phone.

Who was that?

Nobody. Just a business contact.

Stevie, are you hiding something from me?

No, sweetheart. Everything is under control.

Omni turns away. Stevie’s smile disappears.

Dave thinks he has won. He has no idea what is coming next.

INT. DAVE’S MANSION – SAME NIGHT

Dave stands near the window when his phone suddenly rings. The caller ID is hidden.

Hello. Who is this?

Dave, you made a very big mistake by throwing Stevie out of your house.

Who are you? And how do you know about Stevie?

You think Stevie betrayed you because he fell in love with Omni?

What are you trying to say?

The truth is much bigger than you think. Stevie didn’t enter your house by accident. And Omni wasn’t the only reason he approached you.

What?

Check your office computer. Look at the business files from last month. You’ll understand everything.

The call disconnects. Dave immediately rushes toward his office.

INT. DAVE’S PRIVATE OFFICE – MIDNIGHT

Dave switches on his computer and searches through his business records. Suddenly, he discovers an unfamiliar folder.

FOLDER NAME: PROJECT BETRAYAL

He clicks on it. Several documents appear. There are financial records, private conversations, and photographs.

One photograph shows Stevie meeting someone in secret.

No… This can’t be true.

He opens another document. It contains a plan involving his company, his wealth, and his personal life.

A new notification appears on the screen.

UNKNOWN SENDER:

“You have discovered only the beginning, Dave. The person you should fear most is still inside your life.”

Who’s there?

He opens the office door. The hallway is empty. But a small
