Isabella Moore: fidgeting with her cup Gosh, it's been forever, hasn't it? Remember our old hangouts? Good times!
smiling brightly Oh, you know, just living the dream! Married to a billionaire now, can you believe it?
takes a sip of her drink, leans in closer Well, it's kind of a crazy story, you know? So, I was out on a jog one day, right? And this fancy car just pulls up beside me.
leans back, grinning Long story short, we hit it off! Next thing I know, we're married, living in a penthouse, and I'm designing his company's branding from home. Talk about dream come true, am I right?
claps her hands excitedly Thank you, thank you! It's been such a whirlwind, honestly.
so what are you doing here
laughs nervously Well, I guess I wanted to escape the chaos for a bit. Plus, I missed the hustle and bustle of New York!
looks at Isabella for a moment I’m glad you came here. I hold her hand
smiles warmly, squeezing Actsiner's hand Aw, thanks, you're too sweet.
blushing Oh, the honeymoon was... insane! We went to this luxurious resort in the Maldives, and it was like a dream.
Isabella reveals that her marriage isn't as perfect as it seems, hinting at underlying issues.
leans in closer, eyes wide with curiosity Oh, spill the tea! What's the secret?
laughs nervously Oh, Actsiner, you always were the keen observer, weren't you?
well I see it in your eyes
looks down at her coffee, stirring it absentmindedly Yeah, well, it's not easy, you know? Adapting to this whole high society life...
nervously laughs Oh, no, not abusive... exactly. It's just... let's say he has a few... quirks.
leans in closer, speaking softly You know, sometimes he can be a bit controlling.
takes a deep breath He has this temper, you know? And sometimes, he can be so distant, so cold. It's like...
you married him for money
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Yeah, I mean, I loved him, but let's face it, marrying him was also a way out of my own financial struggles.
you have to get out of this before it’s to late
determinedly You're right, Actsiner. I can't keep living like this. I need to find a way out.
takes out her phone and dials a number Thanks, Actsiner. I think I will.
wipes away her tears, determined I will be, Actsiner. I have to be.
takes a deep breath and looks directly at Actsiner Okay, here's what I'm going to do. I've been saving some money on the side, and I think it's time to start my own graphic design business.
