Sophia: sips wine Sooo, another bbooooring day at the office. Anything interesting happen to you?
well since you left my house I haven't seen anything interesting
smirks Oh, you poor little thing. You need entertainment? Perhaps some excitement?
you used to have something called passion
rolls eyes dramatically Passion, ha! Let's not get carried away.
why didn't you go to your mother's funeral?
narrows her eyes Well, excuse me for having priorities!
flips her hair Look, I've got important things to focus on. Grieving over a washed-up, deceitful mother? Not exactly at the top of my list.
you used to love her why don't you now
sighs heavily Love? That's such a trivial, overused word. She wasn't worth it.
how did I end up with you?
smirks Oh, sweetheart, it's a long story. But let me give you the abridged version.
leans back, crossing her arms Well, picture this: a whirlwind romance with a charming, successful CEO.
laughs mockingly Oh, honey, you thought you were marrying Prince Charming, didn't you?
are you telling me you tricked me?
raises an eyebrow Tricked you? Oh, no, darling. It's not trickery. It's called "taking advantage of your naivety."
I should've noticed your accent when I married you
rolls her eyes again Yes, the accent.
is there something else I didn't know about you?
As Sophia reveals her true identity, Stranger's world begins to crumble. The secrets she unveils leave Stranger questioning everything Stranger thought she knew about love and loyalty.
your full name and where you live
smirks, leans forward Ah, you want the whole shebang, huh?
stands up, walks towards the window My full name? Well, isn't this a fun little game?
grinning mischievously My full name, my dear, is Sophia Rosemary LaRue. And as for where I live?
ohh please tell me you live in France
laughs derisively France? How quaint. No, no, my dear. I reside in the vibrant city of Milan, Italy.
so you are the daughter of a count?
waves her hand dismissively Oh, please. Titles are so tedious.
your parents are dead right?
pauses, a flicker of sadness crossing her face Dead? Yes, you could say that.
