Dark, rainy night. Underground port in Montenegro.
Cargo containers, shady deals, and a shipment of stolen weapons.
Tension is thicker than protein shake in a blender.

Narration:
They said Zane Moretti died seven years ago.
Shot in the head.
Body burned in a car crash.
Funeral with an empty coffin.
The whole underworld toasted to the fall of a prince.
But here he was—alive. And pissed.
Scene 1: Undercover Return
Camera pans low. Zane steps out of the shadows, boots crunching glass. He's got a jagged scar slicing through his left eyebrow and a tattoo of a wolf on his hand—visible when he adjusts his cuff.
Zane (thinking):
"Seven years. Seven names. One mission. Time to remind the world that I don't die. I reload."
He lights a cigarette. Doesn't smoke it. Just watches it burn—like his patience.
A thug nearby whispers:
"That's Viktor Dante… the arms dealer from Lisbon."
But Viktor Dante is a lie. A mask.
Zane's new identity — forged in fire, sealed in blood.
Scene 2: Mafia Auction – The Return
Inside a grimy warehouse, the mafia elites gather for a secret auction:
Rare weapons
Stolen art
Blood contracts
Zane bids on a gold-plated Beretta once owned by his dead father. Symbolic. Sentimental. Dangerous.
But the final item?
A pendant.
A small crimson gem on a silver chain.
He freezes.
He knows that pendant.
It once belonged to Aria Winters — his first love, his unfinished chapter, his forbidden heaven.
Zane (gritting his teeth):
> "Where did they get this?"
Auctioneer:
"Belonged to a girl who once belonged to a ghost."
He bids triple. Wins it. Walks away before anyone recognizes his voice.
Scene 3: Flashback – Last Night Alive
Rain. Sirens. Screams.
Zane bleeding out in a burning car.
His father's voice on a cracked phone:
"Trust no one. Not even the family."
A bullet in the head. But not deep enough.
Saved by a street doctor. Disappears into Eastern Europe. Learns to kill without sound. Survives. Evolves.
Becomes Viktor Dante, mercenary king.
But now?
"Viktor is dead too. I'm not hiding anymore.
I'm Zane Moretti, and I'm taking back my crown."
Scene 4: The First Name on His Hit List
Final lines of the chapter.
He opens a black leather notebook. Inside, a list. Only seven names.
He rips the page slowly. Lights it on fire with the same match as his cigarette.
One name remains unburned:
Lucien Blackthorn.
The brother he once swore to protect.
Zane (cold, sharp):
> "I hope you've been sleeping well, Lucien.
Because I'm your f*cking nightmare."
🎯 End of Chapter 1 Cliffhanger:
He boards a private jet heading to New York.
Last shot: Zane holding the crimson pendant… and whispering her name like it still hurts.
Zane:
"Aria… you still wear my ghost, huh?"
