Blind Surprise

Shadows cloak the sprawling estate, its manicured gardens whispering secrets under a brooding sky. Tires screech on gravel as a sleek car halts abruptly. Through Maxwell's hungry gaze, an older man scrambles out, circling to assist a blind young woman—Chloe Cherry—her lithe form emerging like a forbidden temptation. She unfolds her cane with trembling fingers, grasping his arm, stepping into the unknown. He guides her through tangled blooms, vanishing into the shadowed back entrance. Cut to Maxwell, frozen in a fevered stupor, his rough work clothes smeared with earth, tools dangling from calloused hands. The camera pans over half-tamed lawns, laborers toiling in the haze, one breaking Maxwell's trance with a sharp jab. 'Snap to it, rookie—boss'll skin you alive. No slacking just 'cause you're fresh meat.' Spotting Maxwell's fixation, the worker mutters low: 'That's the owner's blind daughter. Stays cooped up, only stirs for doc visits. Pathetic—she's barely legal, eighteen and scorching hot, but Daddy's got her locked down tight.' Maxwell drifts in dark reverie, murmuring absently, 'Yeah... real tragedy.' Static frame on the door as Maxwell prowls into view, pruning shears idle while his eyes devour Chloe's window. Quick cuts: the portal's ominous maw, his face twisted in illicit yearning. From the corner, the father storms back, eyes narrowing on the intruder. 'Eyes on the dirt, boy, or I'll have the foreman boot your ass!' Maxwell jolts, the spell shattering.
