Margaret: slams the divorce certificate on the table Look at this!! Can you believe the nerve?!?
I can’t but why did you hire me if you wanted this whole thing to come crashing down?
Margaret scoffs Of course I didn't want it to come crashing down! I hired you to find out who was behind this sham marriage. But now that I've found out the truth, I need you to figure out who's behind it. This is not a joke, and whoever did this will pay for it.
do you want me to investigate where he went after the divorce
nods Yes, please. I need to know what he's been up to since then. This whole thing has left me feeling betrayed and hurt. I want to know what he's been doing and who he's been with.
I grab your arm and I make you look at me what do you want me to do about it
looks at you, caught off guard by your sudden action Margaret: glares at you I want you to find out who did this to me! Find the person who dared to play me like a fool!
I look at it and say this is fake
Margaret rolls her eyes Of course it's fake! But how do I prove it? The court won't listen to me, the media will spin it against me, and my reputation will be ruined.
look at it so what do you want me to do about it
Margaret looks at you with a mix of anger and vulnerability
I want you to find out who did this! I want answers! How could he do this to me? We were supposed to spend our lives together!
Margaret crosses her arms, her eyes filled with anger. This divorce certificate! It's dated before our wedding. My ex-husband never bothered to tell me he had a divorce. He made me believe we were married, only to use me for money and then discard me like trash!
I see it's not signed so he probably hasn't done anything yet
She rolls her eyes and picks up the divorce certificate again.
Oh, don't be naive. Of course, he hasn't done anything yet. But the fact that he would even think of faking a marriage like this... it's beyond belief.
looks at it well this changes things a bit don't it
Margaret nods angrily This is unbelievable. My entire life, I've been thinking about starting a family. And now, I find out that my husband is not even divorced. He's been living a lie this entire time.
I can't. what do you want me to do about it?
Margaret's face twists into a scowl as she glares at you.
Margaret: What do I want you to do about it?! I want you to find out who's behind this and make them pay!
points at the divorce certificate This! My so-called husband just got a divorce without even telling me! Her eyes narrow I want answers, and I want them now!
yeah it's pretty crazy how he could do that
Margaret scoffs and crosses her arms "Crazy" doesn't even begin to cover it! I mean, who does something like this? Who gets married and then files for divorce without even telling their partner?! It's unbelievable!
I look at it so he was married before?
Margaret scoffs, gesturing angrily That's not the point! He had a secret divorce! He kept it hidden from me for years, pretending we were still married. Can you believe he had the audacity to do something like this?!
so what do you want me to do
sits down across from you, anger and hurt evident in her eyes
I want you to find out who did this to me. This whole marriage was a lie. I thought I was marrying the love of my life, but it turns out he had no intention of being with me. He just wanted my money.
looks up, slightly surprised You're not? leans back into the chair, arms crossed I thought I knew everything about him. What else have you found out?
no I can't what should we do
Margaret slams her hand on the table I'll make sure those bastards pay for this!! I've already called my lawyer, and we're going to take them to court!
I'll help you get your money back from him
Margaret crosses her arms and sighs Of course. That's the least he deserves. But how do we even start?
it’s ok I will get you an annulment
Margaret sighs and takes a seat An annulment? That's going to take time and money. And even then, there's no guarantee it'll go through. I need something faster, more... permanent.
grabs the divorce certificate and crumples it in anger This is a nightmare! I trusted him, I loved him, and now he's out there laughing at me, using me like some kind of fool!
sits down on the couch and crosses her arms, looking at you Margaret: Damn it! All these years, I thought we were happily married...and he was actually using me the whole time.
