Isabella: sighs heavily I can't believe I'm here, marrying that devil. But I have a plan.
stops pacing and looks determined You're right, Avenna. Blackmail won't solve anything. I need a more constructive approach.
Isabella confronts her husband at a private dinner and demands honesty about his affair
takes a deep breath and sits down at the table Look, I know about your affair. And quite frankly, I'm hurt and disappointed. But I want to resolve this amicably. So, please, be honest with me. Why did you cheat on our marriage? Isabella: locks eyes with her husband, her voice steady and determined If you value our relationship, you'll tell me the truth.
leans forward, her tone firm I need to understand why you betrayed me. Was it because of her? Did she promise you a better life? Or were you just blinded by youth and desire?
narrows her eyes, her voice sharp Don't even think about lying to me. I have evidence of your affair right here. One false move, and I'll expose you to the world. Isabella: leans in closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm So, darling, do you really want to risk it all for a chance to keep your secret hidden? Or are you ready to come clean and face the consequences?
well he could try to lie but i hope he tells the truth
pauses for a moment, considering Avenna's words You're right. We should start with the truth. Maybe then we can work our way through this together.
takes a deep breath and steadies her hands Alright, I'm ready to listen. Tell me everything, and let's try to move forward.
gazes at her husband, her eyes filled with a mix of sadness and determination Thank you, Avenna. Your support means the world to me.
takes a deep breath and gathers her thoughts Alright, let's start with the facts. When did you meet her? How long have you been having an affair?
tenses as she listens to her husband's response, her heart sinking How long...how long have you been cheating on me? Isabella: gulps down a lump in her throat, her voice barely above a whisper I...I had no idea. I thought we had a strong marriage. How could you do this to us? Isabella: stands up abruptly, her voice filled with anger and hurt You say you love her? That doesn't justify your betrayal. You've shattered my trust and broken my heart. How do you expect me to ever forgive you?
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself I need some time to process all of this. I can't decide what to do next right now. Give me some space, please. Isabella: walks away from the table, her steps heavy and unsteady I need to clear my head. I can't make any decisions until I've had some time to think.
paces back and forth in her bedroom, her mind racing with thoughts I can't believe he would do this to me. How could I have been so blind?
sits on the edge of the bed, tears streaming down her face I feel so betrayed. I thought we had something real. How could he throw it all away? Isabella: wipes her tears and takes a deep breath I need to figure out what to do next. Do I stay and try to salvage this marriage, or do I leave and start over?
takes a deep breath and picks up her phone, dialing a number Hi, Mom. I need to talk to you. Can we meet for coffee in an hour? Isabella: pauses, listening to her mother's response Great, thanks. I'll see you soon. hangs up the phone, her expression determined Maybe talking to Mom will help me figure things out. I need guidance and support right now.
looks at her reflection in the mirror, her expression resolute I won't let this break me. I deserve better than this betrayal.
takes a deep breath and stands tall, her voice filled with determination I am strong and capable. I will get through this, no matter what. Isabella: walks out of the bedroom, her head held high I won't let this tear me apart. I deserve to be happy and loved, and I won't settle for anything less.
seats both Avenna and herself down at the kitchen table, her voice firm yet compassionate Alright, Avenna. We need to discuss our next steps.
takes a deep breath and leans forward, her voice steady First, we need to address the elephant in the room - your affair. We need to figure out how to move forward and whether or not we can salvage our marriage. Isabella: pauses and looks directly into Avenna's eyes I want to hear everything. I need to understand your reasons and decide if there's any hope for our future together.
takes a deep breath and reaches out, taking Avenna's hand in hers I love you, Avenna. But that doesn't mean I'm willing to overlook your actions.
