[SCENE 1: “The Business That Built Itself” – INT. QUEENFLIX EMPIRE HEADQUARTERS]

Pan across the walls—gold plaques, streaming awards, investor contracts, and glowing holograms of RC Coin, Queenflix, and RealityDundidItAgain.

I walk in wearing a long lavender boss coat, heels clicking, confidence oozing. Assistants move out the way like royalty just entered.

ME (to camera)
They thought I needed a cosign.
They thought I needed a man.
I needed me.
And baby, I was enough the whole time.

[SCENE 2: THE EXES RETURN – INT. GATE ENTRANCE TO QUEENFLIX EMPIRE]

Two men approach the golden gates: Trey (the 20-year ex-friend) and Rico (the one I introduced to the game). They’re dressed slick, wearing their “fake it till you make it” best. But the security scanners flash red.

GATE SYSTEM
Unauthorized energy detected:
Manipulation. Ego. Snake behavior.

TREY (to security)
Come on, she know me. I was there since the beginning!

RICO
We just tryna do business. We grown now. Let’s build.

Camera cuts to me inside, watching this on a live screen, sipping a green smoothie unbothered.

ME (laughing)
Now they want to do business?
You thought because I didn’t say nothin’… I didn’t know nothin’.

[SCENE 3: FLASHBACK – “WHEN THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD ME”]

Quick clips of Trey texting me slick messages trying to manipulate my time, Rico smiling in my face while feeding my ideas to outsiders.

ME (V.O.)
I gave ‘em plays. I gave ‘em peace.
But what they wanted… was pussy and power.

They got none.

—

[SCENE 4: BACK TO THE GATE – “JUDGMENT TIME”]

A portal opens. I appear before them—not with anger, but with divine grace, glowing head to toe.

ME
You had your chance.
You had my trust.
And you threw it away because you couldn’t own what God gave freely.

TREY (nervous)
Come on, Antoinette… I didn’t mean no harm.

RICO (shifting blame)
You was acting Hollywood! We thought you switched up.

ME (laughing hard)
Hollywood? Baby, I’m a whole galaxy.
And I only switch lanes when I level up.
So let me make it real simple:

> No, I don’t want to do business.
No, I don’t want to collab.
No, I don’t need you.

And hell no, I’m not giving you a seat at this table you tried to flip.

[SCENE 5: WALK-OFF WITH POWER – FUNNY CLOSING]

I snap my fingers. A golden boot emoji kicks them out the portal. They fall into a puddle of regret.

MALIK NOVA (laughing)
Girl, you really played fool to catch the fool!

ME
It’s chess, baby. Not checkers.
And next time you send spies to watch me…
Tell ‘em to bring popcorn. I’m the whole movie.

[ENDING SCENE – I STAND AT THE GATES WITH A SMILE]

> “You judged me. Underestimated me.
But now you get judged… by who I became without you.”

To be continued…
