FROZEN TUNDRA – CONTINUOUS

The bodyguards quickly surround Alia and Victor.

Victor lifts Alia into his arms. There are no more tears in his eyes, only a deep, স্থির (steady) resolve. He understands that this ultimate test has changed the destiny of their relationship.

VICTOR (Looking at the bodyguards, in a calm, but authoritative tone)

Initiate emergency medical protocol. Quickly! And prepare the helicopter. We are returning now.

(Victor gently kisses Alia's cold forehead. Alia opens her eyes, her gaze meeting Victor's. She knows the danger is not over, but they are together now—allied in this difficult game of love and power. The 'Destiny of Shadows' given by Victor's father now rests upon both their shoulders.)

Victor holds Alia in his arms. His bodyguards form a security cordon around them. In this frigid environment, Victor's military sternness has returned—but only outwardly.

Alia being alive has profoundly shaken Victor. Still holding Alia, he kneels on the ice. Suddenly, all his resistance collapses.

Victor hugs Alia tightly to his chest. His entire body is trembling, and he starts crying out loud. This is no mere gasp of tears—it is the ultimate, liberating cry of a powerful man.

VICTOR (Clutching Alia, his voice choked)

You... you terrified me, Alia! I cannot live without you! I don't want an empire if you are not in it! I don't know... I don't know what you wanted...

(Alia gently places a weak hand on Victor's back. She understands that her extreme action has shattered Victor's arrogance and power, bringing out his true self. Her purpose has been achieved.)

ALIA (Whispering, in an extremely weak voice)

I... love you too... Victor.

(Hearing Alia's words, Victor cries even harder. The bodyguards watch in silence—they have never seen their stern Lord so completely devastated before. Through this scene, Victor's perspective on life and his empire changes forever. In the game of their 'Destiny of Shadows,' love has truly won this time.)

Victor continues to cry intensely, clutching Alia for a few moments. All his inner constraints are broken. But this moment of extreme emotion cannot last long. Alia must be saved.

Victor quickly wipes away his tears, and his trembling subsides somewhat. He holds his beloved, bringing back his inner Mafia Lord and regal composure.

Victor lifts Alia into his arms. Alia's body is still ice-cold, but she is breathing.

The bodyguards take swift action. They bring a warm blanket and quickly prepare the helicopter under Victor's instruction.

Victor walks toward the waiting helicopter, still carrying Alia. There is a deep promise in his eyes—he will not lose Alia, and he will not let her sacrifice be in vain.

Entering the helicopter, Victor carefully sets Alia down on the seat while still holding her. He tries to warm Alia with his own body.

Alia rests her head on his chest. Victor gently touches her cheek.

VICTOR (In a calm, resolute voice)

No more, Alia. No more conflict. We will embrace this destiny together, but I will not let you be alone. You are my strength.

(The helicopter roars and takes off. The journey toward Moscow begins. Outside is the harsh nature of the ice, and inside is a new, deeper bond in Alia and Victor's relationship. Victor knows firmly—their lives will never be the same again. This ultimate test has only strengthened the empire of their love.)

SCENE CUT: ULTIMATE VICTORY (FROM DESTINY OF SHADOWS TO THE LIGHT)

(The scene now jump-cuts to a new time a few years later—when Alia and Victor's lives have taken a new turn.)

INT. VIP GREEN ROOM – EVENING

Outside, there is loud cheering and calling. It is the commotion of a glamorous, international awards ceremony.

Inside the room, Alia is seated in a luxurious VIP room. She wears an extraordinary outfit: a white maiden dress, symbolizing purity and grace. Her dress has a large, very big and opulent shawl/design on the back, like a coat or petals, highlighting the blend of her old destiny and current success.

(There is now a deep peace and confidence in Alia's eyes. She is no longer just Victor's wife; she is established in her own right.)

The stage personnel outside are calling her name loudly. It is time for her to accept her award.

INT. AWARD STAGE – CONTINUOUS

Alia walks calmly onto the stage. An award is presented to her. She is no longer just a successful businesswoman or a model; she is a successful businesswoman, a successful model, and a humanitarian.

The host announces:

(Shouting)

Alia, the meaning of this award!

ALIA (In a firm voice, at the mic)

Out of the money I received, I am donating 400 million to my country's orphanages. And I will donate an additional 30 billion from my personal funds toward public welfare work.

(The hall erupts in applause. Alia accepts the award. A Golden Star or golden light, like an aura, falls upon her head from above, illuminating her achievement. Alia is now a respected Billionaire globally.)

INT. ANOTHER VIP ROOM – CONTINUOUS

In another VIP room, five smiling faces are watching Alia's smile on a large TV screen. The four of them start laughing at Alia's success.

These four are: Victor, Margaret ZAIN KHA (who is now a trusted part of Victor's empire), ZHENKH, and Anashia (old friends).

Each of them is sitting with a baby in their lap. These five children are likely the new generation heirs to Alia and Victor's empire. There is no longer fatigue or conflict in Victor's eyes—only pride and peace.

Alia's smile glints on the TV, and the laughter in their room is the symbol of the love that conquered the difficult game of destiny. The 'Destiny of Shadows' did not destroy their family; instead, it made them stronger.

INT. VIP GREEN ROOM – CONTINUOUS

Alia has returned to the VIP room with the award from the stage. There is a deeply satisfied smile on her face. She has now reached a new height, having overcome all the conflicts of her life.

The door opens.

Alia smiles and sees the four people she just saw on TV entering one by one: Victor, Margaret ZAIN KHA, ZHENKH, and Anashia. Each of them is holding one of the five children—the symbol of their happy family.

Alia's eyes fill with tears—but this time, not of fear, but of joy.

ALIA (Wiping away tears of joy)

You came!

VICTOR (Walking toward Alia, with a proud smile)

This victory is not complete without you, Alia. You have brought all of us, and this empire, from the Destiny of Shadows into the light.

Victor hands the baby in his arms to Alia. The other three also bring their children closer to Alia.

(This scene marks the ultimate end of their journey of old conflicts, conspiracies, and suffering. Victor and Alia's love is not only personal but also lays the foundation for their family's new future.)

Then, all four stand beside Alia with smiles. Behind them is the sparkle of Moscow's night lights, and in front of them are the five children of the new generation.

A bodyguard steps forward, holding a camera.

VICTOR (Putting his hand around Alia's waist)

One last time... let's capture the moment we were united in this game of destiny.

ALIA (With deep serenity)

(They—five children and four adults—all look at the camera, smiling.)

That moment, the four of them come with the babies and take the picture.

The camera clicks.

INT. GRAND BALLROOM/PALACE – ONE YEAR LATER, 2026

One year has passed. Alia and Victor's lives are now peaceful but filled with power and respect. Both Alia and Victor have taken their empire to new heights, where power and humanity walk hand-in-hand.

Today is a day for family reunion and celebration.

Alia is now 31, and Victor is 35. Both are more mature, with deep love and experience in their eyes.

The two families are united in the vast, splendid ballroom:

(1) Alia's Family: Alia's parents and siblings have arrived. (The scene is incomplete.)FLASHBACK 1: INT. LUXURY HOTEL ELEVATOR – DAY (Golden Elevator)

The scene is set inside a luxurious, gold-toned metallic elevator. The walls are sleek and inlaid with expensive stone.

ALIA and VICTOR are both dressed in expensive, coordinating black attire. Alia holds a high-end handbag, and Victor's shoes reflect the light. Their faces are lit with unrestrained smiles. Victor has lifted Alia into his arms, and she is resting her head on his shoulder.

Victor is holding his phone up high.

VICTOR

Our victory! Let's capture this moment.

(The reflective mirror of the elevator shows their perfect, powerful image. A flash of light goes off as the selfie is taken.)

FLASHBACK 2: EXT. EXPENSIVE HOTEL ENTRANCE – DAY (The Ice Cream Stop)

The setting is a vibrant day in a European city, outside the grand entrance of a lavish hotel. A gleaming Ferrari is waiting by the curb. Victor's personal bodyguards stand discreetly and alertly around the area.

Alia is sitting on the hotel steps, eating an ice cream with a mischievous smile on her face.

Suddenly, VICTOR approaches her. Alia playfully offers him a lick of the ice cream, but Victor just laughs.

VICTOR (Gently touching Alia's cheek)

I know you're teasing me, Koshka (Little Kitten). But I have a different kind of hunger.

Victor takes the ice cream and gently smears a bit onto her lips. The bodyguards stand completely still, clearly accustomed to this kind of display.

Victor takes Alia's hand and leads her toward the car.

VICTOR

Come on, come with me. Home is waiting for you.

FLASHBACK 3: INT. LUXURY APARTMENT – NIGHT (The Golden Netted Dress)

The scene is inside Alia and Victor's luxurious residence, lit by soft, intimate lighting. The apartment's interior is modern and opulent.

ALIA is seated beneath a soft lamp. She is wearing an extremely expensive, delicate black net overlay atop a golden dress. She is sipping tea from a fine porcelain cup and is focused on her mobile phone.

Alia suddenly lifts her head. Her eyes land on VICTOR.

Victor is standing near the doorway, gazing at her with a fixed, intense stare. His eyes are deep, powerful, and full of anticipation.

Alia slowly rises to her feet. The space between them dissolves.

Victor moves close to Alia. No words are exchanged. Victor's gaze shifts from her lips to her eyes.

(They kiss deeply on the lips.)

Without breaking the kiss, Victor lifts Alia into his arms from the floor. Alia smiles, closing her eyes as she wraps her arms around his neck.

(The flashback fades, immersed in the intensity of Alia and Victor's private passion.SCENE: BEDROOM LAUGHTER AND CONVERSATION

INT. BEDROOM – CONTINUOUS

Alia and Victor are lying in bed. The room is softly lit with warm, intimate light. Alia is looking at Victor and laughing.

VICTOR (Turning to Alia)

Why are you laughing?

ALIA (Holding back a giggle)

Why did you use black colored makeup today? You look... like a Korean Chocolate! Actually, you are so pale, like ice—it's obvious you have makeup on! And why did you make your eyelashes black and white? It's making me laugh!

Alia continues to laugh, her joyous sound filling the silence of the room.

VICTOR (Gently placing a finger on Alia's lips, his eyes holding deep possession)

Oh, my little Vermillion... Little Kitten! No matter how far you go, I will never let you leave me. Hmmmm...

(Victor pulls Alia closer.)। Scene cut Let's see Alia. Alia is taking a bath in the bathroom. Naked She is lying in the bathtub and crying again. Then she puts on a blue dress and lies down. Then Victor comes and hugs her and kisses her on the cheek.
