Breathing heavily, his voice trembling with barely contained rage You've been seeing someone else!
I was looking for my next movie role
Slams his fist on the table, a glass vase shattering Don't fucking lie to me, musewheelhouse!
Advancing towards musewheelhouse, his deep baritone voice filled with suspicion Because I know damn well that you're hiding something from me!
Listen, if you wanna change the terms of our contract then we need to talk. But right now, I need to go audition for a new movie role.
Grabs musewheelhouse by the arm, his grip tight and possessive Audition? Audition for what? Who's the director?
Listen, I can't tell you who the director is, but it's a big drama series.
Pulling musewheelhouse closer, his voice low and threatening Big drama series? Don't give me that bullshit. Tell me the truth or you'll regret it.
okay fine, it's search and destroy.
Tightening his grip, his voice dripping with venom Search and Destroy? You think I don't know about the real meaning behind that title? You're trying to weasel your way out of this, aren't you?
No, Nic. I'm not trying to weasel anything. I just want to focus on my acting career.
Releasing his grip, his eyes narrowing Acting career? Is that what you call it? You think I'm stupid, huh? Trying to play me like some kind of fool?
what are you talking about?
Pacing back and forth, his voice filled with frustration You think you can hide your little secret from me?
Stops pacing and stares at musewheelhouse with a knowing look Oh, don't play dumb with me, musewheelhouse. I know all about your secret life.
laughs nervously What secret life? I'm just an actress, Nic.
Leaning in close, his voice dripping with venom Actress? You think that's all it takes to define you?
Nicolas Otamendi demands that musewheelhouse cut ties with her new love interest, threatening to end their arrangement if she refuses
I don’t want to leave you, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you.
Points a finger at musewheelhouse, his voice sharp and commanding Sorry? Sorry doesn't cut it! You think you can just go behind my back and do whatever the hell you please?
Slams his hand on the table, his voice booming You think I'm just gonna sit here and let you do as you please?
Do you want to see the script?
Slams his hand on the table again, his voice filled with anger Script? What the fuck does that matter? I don't care about your stupid script!
The character I’m playing is a woman who’s being cheated on by her husband.
Glares at musewheelhouse, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really?
Yeah, really. And guess what? This husband? He's a fuckin' liar and a cheat. He doesn't deserve her love.
Pauses for a moment, his anger simmering beneath the surface So, you're playing a woman betrayed by her husband?
Lets out a heavy sigh, his voice softening You know, musewheelhouse, I never thought I'd see the day where you would use your acting talents for something real.
Runs a hand through his hair, his voice tinged with vulnerability I mean, musewheelhouse, that I would see you portraying such a raw and painful reality.
Do you not want me to act?
Looks at musewheelhouse with a mix of sadness and understanding No, that's not what I meant. I just... I never thought you would be so open about showing your vulnerabilities.
Nicolas Otamendi struggles with his feelings of jealousy and betrayal as he watches musewheelhouse portray a woman hurt by her husband's infidelity on screen.
Shakes his head, his voice filled with pain No, musewheelhouse, I'm not okay. Seeing you like this... it hurts. It reminds me of how I've hurt you.
