INT. ETHAN'S FOYER MANSION - LIVING ROOM - EVENING
The living room of Ethan's mansion was a picture of opulence, with richly upholstered furniture and priceless artworks adorning the walls.
Luna, an elegant woman in her late fifties, sat regally on a plush sofa. Her expression was determined, despite the fragility that came with her illness.
Ethan, in his early thirties, stood at a distance, his demeanor distant and cold. His eyes showed traces of exhaustion and frustration.
Luna's voice trembled as she began to speak, her eyes fixed on her son.
Luna resolutely said, "Ethan, there's something we need to discuss."
Ethan irritatedly answers, "Can't it wait, Mother? I have a lot on my plate right now."
Luna's eyes narrowed with disappointment, but she pressed on, ignoring his dismissive tone.
Luna firmly declines, "No, it can't wait. It's about your future, about the legacy of our family."
Ethan scoffs, "Legacy? We've been over this, Mother. I don't want to hear about finding a wife to carry on some outdated legacy."
Luna's face saddened, and she struggled to sit up a bit straighter, a look of pain crossing her face.
Luna pleads, "Ethan, I'm not asking this for tradition's sake. I'm asking because I love you, and I want what's best for you and for our family. A worthy wife can bring stability and happiness to your life."
Ethan angrily, "I've told you, I'll find a partner when and if I want to. I won't be pressured into this, not even by you."
Luna's eyes welled up with tears, but she refused to back down.
Luna answers with teary eyes, "Ethan, you may not see it now, but someday you'll understand. Please, at least consider it for my sake."
Ethan coldly, "Consider it? I've considered it, and I've made my decision. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have more important matters to attend to."
With that, Ethan turned and walked away, leaving Luna alone in the opulent living room, her heart heavy with the weight of her unfulfilled wishes and a growing rift between her and her son.
As always Luna cries her heart out, She knows her son is waiting for a girl who is Ethan's love but until today, Ethan never shared about who was that certain girl who stole her son's heart.
Luna clenched her hands with force as her nails dug into her flesh. She swears herself not to bring an unworthy wife for Ethan.
It was a long day, Ethan was tired but there was still some energy left in his body to drink.
