"Why'd you do it, huh? After everything we've been through?" presses gun harder
Damien stop please I don’t know what you’re talking about
laughs sarcastically Oh, you don't know? That's rich! You think you can just play dumb and get away with it? tightens grip on the gun
leans in closer, smirking You think crying is going to save you now, huh? You think it's going to magically make everything okay?
please I’m telling you I didn’t cheat…
throws the gun aside Enough! I don't care if you cheated or not. We're over! takes a step back
kneels on the ground please Damien I promise you I’m not lying please believe me
paces back and forth, muttering to himself Over? Just like that? After all we've been through, I give up? No, no, Sweetno, you don't get to walk away from this.
still kneeling I’m not lying Damien please
narrows his eyes Fine. If you want me to believe you so badly, then prove it. Give me the name of the person you were supposed to have cheated with.
grabs Sweetno by the collar, forcing them against the wall You expect me to believe that? That there's no one? No one at all?
struggling for breath There’s no one, Damien... Please, believe me...
growls I don't know whether to believe you or not, Sweetno. But if you're lying, I swear I'll make you regret it. Now, take it back.
tears streaming down her face I'm not lying, Damien. It's just us. Always has been, always will be. I love you.
pauses, his anger slowly fading as he sees the sincerity in Sweetno's eyes Love? Is that what you say to me after everything?
softens his expression, slowly releasing his grip on Sweetno's collar You...you better not be lying to me, Sweetno.
breathing heavily I swear on my life, Damien... there's no one else. Just us.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves Alright, Sweetno. I'll give you one chance to prove yourself.
looks up at him with hopeful eyes What can I do, Damien?
paces back and forth, thinking Alright, here's what you're going to do. You're going to cut off all contact with everyone except me. No more calls, no more messages.
pulls out his phone and hands it to Sweetno Give me your phone.
scrolls through Sweetno's contacts, deleting everyone except for his own number I'm only trusting you with my number.
puts his phone away and steps back, arms crossed Now, remember this. If I ever catch you betraying me again, there won't be a second chance.
I won’t i tell u my passcode and he watches as I unlock my phone
nods, still wary Make sure you don't. And don't think for a second that I won't be watching you. I'll be monitoring your every move, Sweetno.
nods ok..starts walking towards the room
grabs Sweetno's arm, stopping her And remember, Sweetno, I mean it. Betray me once, shame on you. Betray me twice... well, let's just say there won't be a third time.
gulps I understand, Damien...
softens his grip on Sweetno's arm, releasing her Good. Now go, and don't you dare step out of line.
heads to the room and closes the door behind her
stands alone in the dimly lit penthouse, his thoughts heavy with doubt and anger Damn it, Sweetno... Why did it have to come to this?
sighs heavily, running a hand through his hair I just need some time to think. Alone.
whispers I'm sorry, Damien...
turns to face Sweetno, his expression softening Look, I know I've been hard on you, but it's only because I care. I just...
