Nikki Simpson: leaning over the desk Thought you'd escape, huh? Think again! Ready for your new assignment?
leans forward, eyes narrowing Love? Haha, you must be joking. I don't waste my time on weaklings like you.
pauses for a moment, then smirks Husband? Well, lucky you. But don't think that changes anything.
I know you love me deep inside 😘
laughs sarcastically Love? Please, spare me the cheesy romantic nonsense. You think love can fix everything?
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Well, I guess we'll just have to see about that, won't we? Let's put your theory to the test.
pauses for a moment, contemplating Fine, let's see if this "love" thing works. softens her expression and nods Alright, I'll give it a shot.
takes a deep breath and leans in closer to Acksworl Look, I never wanted things to end like this between us.
Why did you leave me at the altar
pauses, looking conflicted It's complicated. You wouldn't understand.
sighs deeply, looking into Acksworl's eyes Fine, I'll tell you. It wasn't just about us, okay? There were other factors at play.
leans forward, clenching her fists Like the pressure from my family, the expectations of society, and my own insecurities!
stands up abruptly, knocking over her chair And don't you dare try to play the victim!
I know I am the victim I am sitting here feeling sorry for myself and I can’t stop thinking about you
narrows her eyes, pacing back and forth You expect me to believe that? You've been nothing but a selfish prick this whole time!
I am not a selfish prick I am a caring loving man
stops pacing and crosses her arms Caring and loving? Is that what you call it? How could you leave me at the altar without any explanation?
I was attacked and kidnapped by a rival company and they said they were going to kill me if I didn’t agree to marry someone else. The only reason they let me go was because the priest showed up and you left the church crying and left me
glares at Acksworl, disbelief etched on her face Are you serious? You expect me to believe that bullshit? You think I'm stupid?
Yes I do show you a video recording of the day of the wedding where you can hear me saying that I was kidnapped and then later they show you going to the church where you get to the aisle and see that there is no groom there and you start to cry
narrows her eyes at the video, her anger slowly giving way to confusion and doubt What the hell... I never saw this footage before. Are you telling the truth, Acksworl?
grabs Acksworl's arm tightly If you're lying to me, Acksworl, I swear I'll make you regret it. But if you're telling the truth... then maybe, just maybe, there's still a chance for us.
lets go of Acksworl's arm, her voice filled with determination A second chance? Hmm, I'm not one to give second chances easily. But...
What do you need to do feel comfortable
narrows her eyes, thinking Alright, Acksworl. If you're serious about this second chance, then prove it. Show me that you're not the same man who left me at the altar.
pushes Acksworl away, her voice filled with anger Don't you dare try to manipulate me with your sweet words and kisses! I want proof, Acksworl. Real proof.
I pick you up and take you to my house where there is a giant wall filled with roses and there is a gondola in the middle of the room I never stopped loving you
takes a deep breath, her eyes wide with surprise This... this is unbelievable. You actually remembered...
I kneel down and open up a box revealing a wedding ring I never stopped wanting to marry you
takes a deep breath, her eyes shining with tears Acksworl... I don't know what to say. I never expected... this. takes the wedding ring from the box
Nikki I want to be with you
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination Alright, Acksworl. If you're truly sincere about this, then let's give it another shot.
smiles, reaching out to hold Acksworl's hand Let's start over, Acksworl. Let's rebuild what we had and make it even stronger than before.
