1.INT. THEATRE/STREET. DAY. (22.12.2012)
A Person dressed like a monk is standing in the middle of a stage, right in front of a huge statue of the goddess Athena. This person has a torch on its hand. "Fools"! The statue screamed "When ye learn that me ye cannot be slay..." The person threats the statue by raising the torch. "Year after year ye burn me in this fake stage, lifting your puny shouts of triumph to the stars, when again ye turn your faces to the marketplace do not find me waiting, as of old? Fools" The statue said. The person puts down the torch. "Fools, fools to dream ye conquer care". The person lifts its hands and says: "Say thou mocking spirit, it is not all a dream; we know thou waited for us... when this our sylvan holyday has ended, we shall meet thee and fight as of old!"
The director stands up.
DIRECTOR:
Mazel Tov! Mazel Tov! Very good, very good!
The person on the stage removes the hood of its face; it's Michelle.
MICHELLE:
Did I get the job, Sir?!
DIRECTOR:
Yes, you got it, girl. You did a terrific job!
MICHELLE:
Thank you so much, sir! I really appreciate this opportunity.
A man burst on the stage; "Michelle, come with me! There's something wrong with the sky..."
MICHELLE:
What?! What happened?!
MAN:
The sky turns into sepia!
MICHELLE:
Are you kidding?!
Everyone inside the theatre runs to the windows to see the phenomenon.
DIRECTOR:
Guys, please be careful, don′t run!
The earthquake begins.
DIRECTOR:
Boys and girls remember the drill; do not run...!!
No one listen the director's instructions. Everyone leave the theater in disorder. Michelle falls down a couple of times, because the robe that she's wearing is too long.
MICHELLE:
(Screaming)
Guys! Please! Don't leave me alone.
No one listens to her, now, even the director is running for his life. The statue of the goddess falls apart; the head falls near to Michelle.
MICHELLE:
Oh, God! I need to get out of here!
The walls of the theater begin to breaking down. Michelle stands up.
MICHELLE:
I'm not going to die here!
The girl begins to run throughout the corridors of the theater. She almost falls down again with a bag. Michelle sees what's inside the bag; there are two additional robes inside. She closes the bag, and reassumes her get away with it.
Finally, Michelle sees the light at the end of the corridor, the street is near, but suddenly, a flashing light blinds her. She gets blinded for a few seconds.
MICHELLE:
NO!! NO!! MY EYES!! MY EYES!!
When she is available to see again; its night, and everyone is gone.
MICHELLE:
(Screaming)
What... the...?! Hello?! Hello?!
Michelle goes out of the theater; there are ruins everywhere.
MICHELLE:
Sweet Jesus! What is going on here?! HELLO!! HELLO!!!
The girl looks up to the sky; she sees a triangle shaped aircraft flying across the sky. The ship is apparently chasing something, because it is shooting down a red beam to a mobile target on the street.
MICHELLE:
(To the aircraft) Hello! Hello! (To herself) What am I doing?! They can't hear me!!
The aircraft stops in the air like a helicopter, but it makes no sound. A blue lighting coming from it illuminates the ground; four bodies were dragged up from the ground to the aircraft. Michelle cannot distinguish if they were animals or humans. The girl begins to run to the position of the aircraft to see with her eyes what is going on there, but the flying machine disappears in a matter of seconds.
MICHELLE:
What the hell is going on here?! Is anyone here!! Please!! Someone!!!
A noise behind her draws her attention. "Michelle..." said a female voice.
MICHELLE:
Who's there?!!
"It's me baby!" answered the voice. The person is apparently dying.
MICHELLE:
(Drops the bag with the robes)
Mom, is that you?!
"Yes, it's me!"
MICHELLE:
Where are you?!
"Here!"
MICHELLE:
Where? Where? I barely see... tell me!
"Behind you"
Michelle runs to her mother; who lies under a pile of rubble.
MICHELLE:
(Crying)
Mom, are you ok...?!
Michelle puts her mother head on her lap.
LUDMILLA:
No, baby... (Coughs) I'm not Ok...
MICHELLE:
What is going on here? Where is everyone? Did you see the ship?!
LUDMILLA:
Too many question, baby... and I can answer all, but I have no time...
MICHELLE:
What?! What are you saying??
LUDMILLA:
This happen for us... we did it!
MICHELLE:
What do you mean with "we"?
LUDMILLA:
We listen to the wrong people; we caused the end of humanity...
MICHELLE:
I don't understand you!
LUDMILLA:
Baby, go to the countryside... stay away from the cities... They are here... and they want revenge...
MICHELLE:
But, mom! Mom!! Mom!!
Ludmilla dies on her daughter's lap.
MICHELLE:
NO!! NO!! MOM!! Don't leave me!!
Michelle hears a growl coming from the dark.
MICHELLE:
WHO'S THERE?!!
"Your mother betrays us" Said a bizarre voice.
Michelle slowly turns her head to the sound of the voice. She sees two red eyes staring at her.
MICHELLE:
(Mumbling)
W-W-W-Who are you?
"I want my friends back!" said the creature.
MICHELLE:
I-I-I-I just don't know what you are talking about...
"Well, that's bad..." answered the creature, and then it jumps to Michelle. The girl screams.
Now, Michelle can see the creature; it's a green reptilian humanoid. The creature is nearly two meters and its skin is filling with flakes.
"Lex Talionis" Said the creature with Michelle's head on its hands. The girl takes a rock, and hits the beast on its head. The creature howls in pain. Michelle runs away.
"Come here, you little bastard!" The creature screamed.
The aircraft appears again. The creature threats it in a strange language. The aircraft illuminates the ground with the blue beam again; Michelle covers her eyes for a few seconds. When she removes her fingers; she's alone again, even the body of her mom is missing.
MICHELLE:
MOM!!! MOM!!! MOM!!!
CUT TO...
2.EXT. STREETS OF LONDON. NIGHT.
Michelle cries in front of a small pile of rocks, while she holds a wooden cross.
MICHELLES:
(Crying)
I love mom... wherever you are...
Michelle puts the cross on the top of the pile.
MICHELLE:
Rest in peace, mom, I'll promise you that I will find whoever did this to you.
CUT TO...
3. EXT. STREETS OF LONDON. NIGHT.
Michelle walks throughout the ruins. The girl screams for help while she cries. She clings to the bag with the robes, as it had food inside.
MICHELLE:
Please help!! Please help!!
Suddenly, she hears a noise behind her.
MICHELLE:
(With a rock on her hand)
Who's there?!
A man with his hands on the air emerges from the shadows. "It's me" He said. "Put the rock down, I'm not alone"
MICHELLE:
I recognize your voice, but I can't see your face...
DAVID:
It's me!
MICHELLE:
Oh, thank GOD!!
Michelle runs to her friend; they hug effusively.
MICHELLE:
What the hell is going on here?!
DAVID:
We don't know?
MICHELLE:
We?
DAVID:
C'mon guys...
MICHELLE:
Daniel! Diana! Oh, thank god you are alive!
DIANA:
We were going to your casting, when it all happened...
MICHELLE:
Did John come with you guys?
DANIEL:
We called him, but, you know... he was fighting with his family... again!
DIANA:
And... don't forget that Vanessa moves out to another city today... so, we did not want it to be part of drama.
MICHELLE:
But, he is our friend! He needs us! Let's go to his house, maybe he's alive.
DAVID:
No... we can't, I found my father, and he told us to stay away from the cities and...
MICHELLE:
...Go to the countryside.
DIANA:
How do you know?
MICHELLE:
My mother told me the same thing before she died.
DAVID:
Then, you know that we can't go into the city, it's dangerous!
MICHELLE:
But, I need to know if he is alive!
DANIEL:
Michelle... we can't...
MICHELLE:
No! I will go to find him, with or without you guys!
David, Daniel and Diana look to each other, and they agree to go with her.
DIANA:
(To Michelle)
He's not interested in you... He loves her...
MICHELLE:
Maybe, but now, she's gone and I'm here...
DANIEL:
Hey, Michelle, Please, take off that costume, you look as you were part of the illuminati or something...
MICHELLE:
Ah, ok...

"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?" I asked since I had nothing to lose. *** Nadine's wedding dreams turned to nightmares when she caught her sister and fiancé cheating! With a secret recording, she's ready for revenge.

Hidden for years by the state despite a fortune worth billions, Grace bounced through three foster homes. At her fourth stop, the wealthy Holden family showered her with care, sparking spiteful claims she was a despicable grifter. Those lies died when a university president greeted her. "Professor, your lab's ready." A top CEO presented a folder. "Boss, our profits soared by 300% this year!" An international hacker organization came to her doorstep. "The financial market would crash without you!" Colton, a mysterious tycoon, pinned her softly. "Fun's over. Let's go make some babies." Grace's cheeks flared. "I didn't agree to that!" He slid a black card into her hand. "One island per baby."
Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
Abandoned as a child and orphaned by murder, Kathryn swore she'd reclaim every shred of her stolen birthright. When she returned, society called her an unpolished love-child, scoffing that Evan had lost his mind to marry her. Only Evan knew the truth: the quiet woman he cradled like porcelain hid secrets enough to set the city trembling. She doubled as a legendary healer, an elusive hacker, and the royal court's favorite perfumer. At meetings, the directors groaned at the lovey-dovey couple, "Does she really have to be here?" Evan shrugged. "Happy wife, happy life." Soon her masks fell, and those who sneered bowed in awe.
Dayna had worshiped her husband, only to watch him strip her late mother's estate and lavish devotion on another woman. After three miserable years, he discarded her, and she lay broken-until Kristopher, the man she once betrayed, dragged her from the wreckage. He now sat in a wheelchair, eyes like tempered steel. She offered a pact: she would mend his legs if he helped crush her ex. He scoffed, yet signed on. As their ruthless alliance caught fire, he uncovered her other lives-healer, hacker, pianist-and her numb heart stirred. But her groveling ex crawled back. "Dayna, you were my wife! How could you marry someone else? Come back!"

When cynics sneered at her "plain background," a prestigious family claimed her and the national lab hailed her. Reporters swarmed, influencers swooned, and jealous rivals watched their fortunes crumble. Even Asher-the rumored ruthless magnate-softened, murmuring, "Fixed your mess-now be mine."
