She finds out he is her bodyguard

ALI'S SECRET HOME - ASH'S BEDROOM - MORNING

Ash awakens to an empty room, her eyes scanning around in confusion. She tries to get up but winces in pain as she realizes her injured foot.

ASH

(grumbling to herself)

Oh no, not today...

She carefully wraps a towel around herself and attempts to hobble towards the door. Just then, the towel slips from her grip, and she ends up on the floor.

The sound of the fall catches Ali's attention from another room. He rushes in, concern etched on his face, and finds Ash on the floor, holding the fallen towel.

ALI

(worried)

Ash! Are you okay?

Ash looks up at him, her expression a mix of annoyance and pain.

ASH

(frustrated)

Ali, where were you when I woke up? I fell because you weren't here, and I hurt my foot because of it!

Ali immediately regrets not being there for her. He approaches her cautiously.

ALI

(guilt-ridden)

I'm so sorry, Ash. Let me help you up and take care of that foot.

Ash hesitates but finally allows Ali to assist her to her feet. She's clearly upset.

ASH

(irritated)

Fine, help me get ready. But don't think you're forgiven that easily.

Ali nods, realizing he needs to make it up to her.I promised not to look at you.his face away from her.,She tries to resist his help but eventually bites his lip, but he responds, "Are you feeling better now?"

Ali: (smirking)

We're even now.

His lip is bleeding, and Ash feels guilty.

ASH: (apologetic)

I'm so sorry...

She attempts to wipe the blood from his lip, but Ali has a playful suggestion.

ALI: (teasing)

Well, if you're still hungry, we could have breakfast together.

ASH: (sulking)

You woke up without me and probably ate already. Why would you wait for me?

Suddenly, Ali's teammate enters the room, unaware of their intimacy.

TEAMMATE: (concerned)

Is everything okay in here?

Ash is unapologetic, asserting her boundaries.

ASH: (frustrated)

Can't you knock?! be more careful next time!

Ali takes charge of the situation.

ALI: (to teammate)

Wait for me outside, please.

The teammate quickly exits the room.

ALI:

Now that you're dressed and your anger is over, how about I make breakfast?

ASH:

I want to go with you.

Ali gently insists that she should rest.

ALI:

You really should rest, Ash.

But she's adamant, questioning whether he's holding her against her will.

ASH:

Are you kidnapping me or something? I can't stay in the same room 24/7.

Ali reassures her about his intentions.

ALI:

I'm doing it for your safety, Ash.

She counters that she won't eat if he leaves her alone. Eventually, he helps her stand, but she playfully insists that he pick her up.

ASH:

Carry me, Mr. Bodyguard.

Ali obliges, lifting her into his arms. As they exit the room and enter the living area, Ali's teammates are surprised to see him caring for Ash so attentively, a side of him they've never witnessed before. Their curious stares speak volumes about the change in Ali's behaviour.

ALI'S SECRET HOME - DINING AREA - MORNING

Ali sets the breakfast table, and Ash watches him attentively. Their connection deepens as they share this intimate moment.

ALI:

(Noticing Ash's gaze)

What now?

ASH:

(Smiling)

I can't eat by myself.

Ali, understanding her unspoken request, moves her chair closer to his. He begins to feed her, each bite strengthening the bond between them.

This gesture speaks volumes about their growing affection and trust in each other.

IN ABANDONED WAREHOUSE - NIGHT

Ali and his teammates approach the dark and eerie warehouse with caution. The only light comes from the faint moonlight seeping through broken windows.

TEAMMATE 1:

(Whispering)

They should be in here. Keep your eyes peeled.

The group moves silently, taking cover behind crates and pillars.

Suddenly, they hear voices ahead. The kidnappers are talking among themselves, unaware of Ali and his team's presence.

KIDNAPPER 1:

(Whispering)

Once we scare her enough, she'll convince Ali to back off the Ken case.

Ali signals to his team to surround the kidnappers. They move into position, ready for confrontation.

Ali's voice echoes through the warehouse.

ALI:

(Calm but firm)

It's over, gentlemen.

The kidnappers spin around in shock, realizing they're cornered.

KIDNAPPER 2:

(Panicking)

How did they find us?

A fierce fight erupts as Ali's team rushes forward, taking on the kidnappers. It's a chaotic brawl, punches landing, and grunts filling the air.

Ali's superior combat skills are evident as he swiftly takes down one of the kidnappers.

Ali catches the other kidnapper, who tries to escape. He pins him against a wall.

ALI:

(Determined)

You'll talk now.

IN ALI'S OFFICE - NIGHT

Ali and his teammates have the kidnappers cornered. The tension in the room is palpable.

KIDNAPPER 1:

(Defiant)

Do you think you can scare us? We won't talk.

Ali's gaze narrows, his patience wearing thin.

ALI:

(Serious)

You've got two choices. You tell me who hired you, or my friends here will make sure you never talk again.

KIDNAPPER 2:

(Grimacing)

Fine, it was... it was your father!

Ali's face tightens with shock and anger.

ALI:

(Stern)

My father? Where i he? How does he look?

KIDNAPPER 1:

(Resolute)

We can't tell you that.

Ali gestures to his teammates, who step closer, ready to act.

ALI:

(Calmly)

You have one last chance. Tell me everything, or it's over for you.

The kidnappers exchange uneasy glances, realizing their predicament.But he died trun out he eat poison when they were away. Ali was in deep thoughts after hearing his dad.

IN ALI'S BEDROOM -

Ash stands there, holding Ali's phone, listening to the conversation. Her face twists with anger as she realizes the truth about Ali's intentions. She abruptly hangs up the call.

ASH:

(Furious)

So, this is it, Ali? You're just here because you were hired by my father? You got close to me for protection?

Ash is sitting on the couch, her face a mix of anger and sadness. She clutches Ali's phone, which she had used to answer her father's call earlier. Her father's voice echoes in her mind.

FATHER (V.O.):

(Tense)

Ash, where are they? Have they found those men who hurt you?

Ash takes a deep breath, summoning her courage. She dials her father's number and waits for him to answer.

FATHER (V.O.):

(Anxious)

Ash?

ASH:

(Calm, determined)

Dad, we need to talk.

The tone of her voice causes her father to become alert.

FATHER (V.O.):

(Concerned)

What's wrong, Ash? Are you okay?

ASH:

(Resolute)

No, Dad, I'm not okay. I found out the truth, and I can't believe what you did.

There's a pause as her father processes her words.

FATHER (V.O.):

(Worried)

Ash, what are you talking about?

ASH:

(Accusing)

You hired Ali, didn't you? You wanted him to protect me, and he got close to me because of you.

Her father hesitates, then finally admits it.

FATHER (V.O.):

(Defensive)

I did it to keep you safe, Ash. You were in danger.

ASH:

(Angrily)

Safe? You destroyed everything! I started to trust him, to care about him. But it was all a lie! I thought I finally found someone who cared about me, not because they were paid too.

Tears of anger and betrayal stream down her face.

ASH:

(Emotional)

I love Ali, Dad, but now... now I don't even know who he really is.

There's a heavy silence on the other end of the line.

FATHER (V.O.):

(Softly)

Ash, I did what I thought was best for you.You can't be with him he is dangerous.

ASH:

(Cold)

Well, congratulations, Dad. You've managed to ruin the one good thing in my life. I hate you for this. I don't want to talk to you anymore.

She ends the call abruptly, tears continuing to fall as she tosses the phone aside, feeling utterly betrayed by the two people she thought she could trust the most: her father and Ali.
