Guess the cat's outta the fucking bag, huh? Not so smart now.
tries to stay calm So, what now?
throws her hands up in the air Now? Now you get to find out just how fucked up I really am.
What do you mean by that?
narrows her eyes, leaning in close You think you really knew me, huh? Well, think again.
You're scaring me, Mia. What are you talking about?
leans back, smirking Oh, you'll see soon enough. But first, let's talk about betrayal.
How did you betray me, Mia?
pulls out a small envelope from her purse Open it. And prepare yourself for the truth.
opens the envelope, his face goes pale What is this?
smirks triumphantly It's proof of what I've been hiding from you all this time.
Proof? What kind of proof?
gestures towards the documents inside the envelope It's evidence that I've been leading a double life.
A double life? What does that even mean?
laughs coldly It means I've been seeing someone else behind your back. And not just anyone - it's someone powerful.
leans in closer, whispers It's Derek Stone. The same Derek Stone who holds half the city's business empire.
Derek Stone? That bastard? How long has this been going on?
smirks and crosses her arms Long enough to know I have more power than you'll ever imagine.
So, this whole time...you've been lying to me?
laughs dismissively Yeah, Holland. I've been living a lie with you. And guess what? I'm done pretending anymore.
What do you want from me now, Mia?
Holland demands some answers from Mia, refusing to be played any longer
I deserve to know everything, Mia. Right now.
pauses, smirking Fine, if you want the whole damn truth, you're gonna have to handle it.
Handle it? What does that even mean?
stands up and walks towards the edge of the rooftop It means you're gonna have to confront the consequences of my actions.
Consequences? What consequences?
gestures towards a nearby building Look over there. That's where all the evidence is.
grins devilishly Evidence of our deceit. Evidence that will ruin us both if it sees the light of day.
You're telling me we're in deep shit if I expose this?
nods, smirking Deep shit, Holland. Deeper than you can imagine.
Is there a way out of this, Mia?
pauses, eyes narrowing There might be a way... but it's gonna cost you.
Cost me? What are you talking about?
smirks and leans in close I'm talking about a price you'll have to pay to keep this nightmare hidden.
leans back and smirks You'll have to sacrifice something valuable, Holland. Your freedom.
My freedom? What do you mean?
smirks and pulls out a small envelope I mean you'll have to agree to my terms and sign this contract.
A contract? What's in it?
opens the envelope and reveals a legal document This contract ensures your silence and cooperation.
Cooperation? You want me to cooperate with you? After everything?
smirks triumphantly Yes, Holland. You'll cooperate by keeping quiet and helping me manage the situation.
smirks and taps the envelope If you refuse, I'll expose everything to the world. Your reputation, your family... everyone will know.
