LOVED BY MANY, CHOSEN BY NONE
Feature Film Screenplay
PART 14
(The Test of Integrity)
INT. LUXURY RESTAURANT – NIGHT
(INT. – Interior, inside a building)
Kelvin sits at a table alone.
Candlelight flickers.
He sips water nervously.
A shadow moves across the entrance.
ELLA DANIELS appears, dressed flawlessly.
ELLA DANIELS
Kelvin… may we talk?
KELVIN ADEYEMI
(slow, calm) Ella… we already spoke.
ELLA DANIELS
No. You didn't hear me.
I made a mistake before.
I want another chance.
Kelvin studies her.
Integrity (honesty and strong moral principles – simple meaning) shows in his eyes.
KELVIN ADEYEMI
I can't undo the past.
And I won't repeat it.
Ella steps closer, dramatic.
ELLA DANIELS
(simple meaning: planned to influence) Think about it. You're struggling now, yet I can help you.
Money, fame… the world at your feet.
Kelvin stands.
Gazes at her steadily.
KELVIN ADEYEMI
I don't measure love by money.
Or fame.
Or convenience.
Ella smirks.
Calculated (carefully planned, not emotional – simple meaning).
ELLA DANIELS
Then you'll regret this.
She storms out.
EXT. STREET OUTSIDE RESTAURANT – NIGHT
Kelvin walks, deep breath.
Phone vibrates.
MIRA OKAFOR (TEXT MESSAGE):
"I trust you. Don't let her lies shake us."
Kelvin smiles softly.
KELVIN ADEYEMI (V.O.)
"A proverb says:
He who stands for truth, stands tallest,
even when shadows try to bend him."
INT. FRIENDS' HANGOUT – NIGHT (COMEDY BREAK)
Dan Kay and Oscar Bello mock-play a courtroom trial.
DAN KAY
Kelvin is on trial for resisting the temptress!
OSCAR BELLO
Defense: His heart belongs to one witness… Mira!
Kelvin laughs, genuine.
The first laugh that day without strain.
EXT. CITY PARK – NIGHT
Kelvin walks slowly.
Mira joins him.
MIRA OKAFOR
I saw her.
KELVIN ADEYEMI
I told her.
Nothing more.
Mira studies him.
Silence.
MIRA OKAFOR
It's not easy.
She's… persistent.
KELVIN ADEYEMI
Persistence does not equal truth.
They walk closer.
Hands almost touch.
The wind blows softly.
KELVIN ADEYEMI
I promise… I will never betray us.
Mira smiles faintly.
Trust rekindled.
EXT. OPEN MIC STAGE – NIGHT
Kelvin performs again.
This time, the audience cheers louder.
🎵 SONG – "TRUTH STANDS" 🎵
They tempt, they lure, they try
But truth is stronger than lies
My heart is given, my soul unshaken
For love that sees, not hides
Mira claps with tears.
INT. ELLA'S APARTMENT – NIGHT
Ella sits, furious.
Throws her phone on the couch.
ELLA DANIELS
How does he stay strong?
How does he not bend?
She slams the window.
City lights glare back at her.
EXT. ROOFTOP – NIGHT
Kelvin and Mira sit.
City skyline behind them.
Guitar rests unused.
KELVIN ADEYEMI
I learned…
Even when tested, love must choose truth over convenience.
MIRA OKAFOR
And I learned…
Faith in a person can outlast the noise of the world.
They hold hands.
Stars above.
Silence speaks louder than any music.
