The scene unfolds with Alison (played by
Emma Hix), nervously pacing in her living room. A feeling of anxiety is clearly etched on her face. The sound of a knock on the door interrupts her thoughts and she rushes to open it.
Standing outside is her boyfriend Bradley (portrayed by
Lucas Frost). He greets her with a kiss on her cheek and strides into the house with an arrogant air, as if he owns the place. He abruptly makes himself comfortable on the couch, obnoxiously resting his feet on the coffee table.
"So, tonight's the big night, huh?" Bradley smirks at Alison. "I'm not sure I can go through with this," she confesses, standing nervously. "Babe, come here," he beckons, gesturing for her to sit next to him on the couch.
As she moves to sit, he abruptly pulls her onto his lap, causing her to gasp in surprise. "You know I love you, right?" he whispers in a silky voice. She responds with a soft, "Yes," and he reassures her that he won't force her to do anything she doesn't want to do.
However, he adds a sinister note by reminding her of the consequences should she refuse to comply. Alison's eyes widen in fear as she absorbs his words. "I don't want that to happen, but if you don't follow through with our agreement, I will ensure it does," Bradley warns with a chilling tone.
But he swiftly changes his tone, assuring her that she will enjoy the night. Despite her nerves, she nods in silent agreement to his demands. His gaze travels over her body, appraising her like an object.
"You look like a lovely little slut," he comments, his voice taking on a predatory tone. He pulls her into a rough kiss. "Are you my little slut?" he asks.
She responds affirmatively. "And you're going to pleasure her, right?" He poses the question while grabbing her buttocks. "Yes, baby," she answers, her breath hitching.
"That's right. and I'm going to watch," he asserts. At that moment, they hear the sound of a key in the lock. "And here she comes.
She has no idea what we have planned for her tonight," he says, a lecherous grin spreading across his face. The door swings open and Connie (
Sarah Vandella) steps in. Bradley immediately detaches himself from Alison, his sleazy grin morphing into a polite smile.
Connie greets them with a smile. "Hello. Mom," Alison greets Connie. CUT TO TITLE PLATE
The scene shifts to the dinner table, where the trio have just finished their meal.
"That was delicious, Connie," Bradley compliments. "Oh, thank you, Brad," Connie replies with a smile. "It's Bradley," he corrects her, his friendly facade slipping for a moment, revealing a hint of irritation.
Connie apologizes for her mistake, taken aback by the glimpse of Bradley's hidden anger. He quickly recovers his charming demeanor and assures her it's okay. Alison seems preoccupied, her thoughts likely focused on the daunting task ahead.
"How's the house? Everything good here?" Bradley inquires casually, gesturing around the room. Connie assures him that everything is perfect and thanks him once again for his help. She talks about how difficult things were after her husband's accident and how she couldn't work anymore.
Bradley nods in false sympathy. Connie continues, expressing her relief when Bradley entered their lives and helped them with housing through his father's generosity. "You've really been a godsend," Connie tells Bradley, her smile warm and genuine.
Bradley brushes off her gratitude with feigned modesty. "It's not nothing. We wouldn't be able to afford this place if your father didn't own it and give us a discount on the rent," Connie says appreciatively.
"It's no trouble at all," he responds with a falsely sweet smile, adding, "Anything for my girl," before kissing Alison on the cheek. He then leans in to whisper in her ear, "Do it now. " Alison looks pleadingly at Bradley.
Connie, busy clearing her plate, doesn't notice their silent exchange. Bradley, through clenched teeth, urges her to proceed. Alison takes a deep breath.
"Mom. I have something I need to discuss with you. something. private," Alison starts hesitantly. Connie, her attention now fully focused on her daughter, asks brightly, "What is it, honey?" Alison stammers, unable to form the words. Bradley, playing his part, suggests they move to Connie's bedroom for their private discussion while he takes care of the dishes.
Connie thanks him for his thoughtfulness and leaves the room with Alison. Bradley pretends to clean the dishes, his eyes following the two.
