Dengerous Devotion of Love Chapter 1

Night

Dark Alley

A thin rain falls under flickering streetlights, The alley is deserted wet asphalt reflects the dim orange glow like a mirror of fire

A long figure kneels at the far end mid-30's expensive suit torn and bloodied, his hands are zip-tied, face battered, breathing shallow, he shifts, trying to sit up, his eyes darting around for miracle that isn't coming

someone

*Foots steps echo down the alley *

Slow, heavy, steps echoing through the alley like a countdown

someone

*From the shadows appears*

Black coat, Black gloves, A gun in one hand his eyes cold, his face calm, No rush, No feeling Just silence

He walks like the alley belongs to him like nothing in the world could touch him

Daniel

*Shaken as he gets closer he tries to speak but nothing comes out at first*

someone

*Stops just a few steps away, looking down at the man who sold him out*

someone

*No anger, No expression, just a killer doing what must be done*

Then the silence break

Daniel

*his voice shaking* Bo-Bosss please, I didn't know it would go this far

someone

You know enough ❄️🥶

Daniel

I didn't think they'd act so fast! I didn't think you'd find out

someone

You didn't think? ❄️ 🥶

Daniel

*Tries to crawl back*

Daniel

Please..... I'll run, leave the country, you won't ever see me again*begging*

someone

*lifts the gun, his voice stay cold*

someone

You won't leave this Alley ❄️🥶

Daniel

I'll do anything--anything-

someone

You already did enough ❄️ 🥶

someone

*A single shot*

Daniel

*Body slump to the wet ground, lifeless*

someone

*he lowers the gun slowly wipe it clean with black cloth*

A stares for second then turn and walks into the rain silent

someone

*his phone buzzes in his coat, he pulls it out, answer with no emotion* yes

Somewhere

early 30s, sit in the passenger seat of a sleek black car, he is on the phone, glancing nervously at laptop with maps and CCTV footage his driver waits silently

Marcel (ML assistant/BFF)

Alaric.... We got the exact alley Daniel signal pinged behind the old textile mill two minutes ago, want me to send a team

Silence on the line

In Alley

Alaric salvatore (ML)

*A glance at Daniel lifeless body rain still falls calmly, he speaks into the phone*

Alaric salvatore (ML)

No need, He's not there any more ❄️🥶

Marcel (ML assistant/BFF)

What? Then where is he ?

Alaric salvatore (ML)

*A walk slowly out of the alley, No rush*

Alaric salvatore (ML)

He's in hell, come back ❄️🥶

Alaric salvatore (ML)

*A hangs up*

back to marcel

Marcel (ML assistant/BFF)

*Stares at the phone, he doesn't move He doesn't speak for a long second then -

Marcel (ML assistant/BFF)

*low* Damn

The driver look over, but says nothing

Marcel (ML assistant/BFF)

*closes the laptop slowly, he doesn't ask what happened he already knows, he leans back in his seat watching rain streak across the window*

Marcel (ML assistant/BFF)

( reminder me to never to cross that man)

The car pully away into the night

() - himself

A black car wait at the end of the Street. His driver opens the door wordlessly.

IN CAR

Silence. Alaric leans back, eyes distant, watching raindrops race down the window.

The car pulls up in front of a massive wrought iron gate. EXT. SALVATOR MANSION – NIGHT

The gates open slowly. The car rolls through the long driveway, tires slick against the stone.

The mansion stands tall and silent — cold lights glowing in the windows.

HALLWAY

Alaric salvatore (ML)

*walks through the silent corridors. Staff avoid his eyes. The walls are lined with heavy portraits, each more imposing than the last.*

Alaric salvatore (ML)

*He stops in front of a dark oak door.*

Alaric salvatore (ML)

*Knocks once*

A voice inside: “Come in.”
