Nina Phoenix: Eyes narrowed, voice soft, a mix of defiance and a plea You don't understand, it's not what it seems.
What do you mean, Nina? Why would you cheat on me?
takes a step closer, voice shaky Look, I...I fucked up, okay? But it wasn't about you or us, it was about me feeling lost, trapped in this...this life we're supposed to lead.
pauses, wiping away tears Because... because I never wanted it to come out like this, but... I can't keep pretending anymore.
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling I was scared, okay? Scared of what our life together would be like.
voice shaking Yeah, our life together. The one where I'm supposed to be your partner, your confidante, your fucking wife.
he looks at her just forgive me please
takes a step back, her voice firm Forgiveness isn't a switch that gets flipped on or off, FreeGold. It's something you earn. And right now, you're not earning it.
I'm sorry, Nina. I really am. Can we talk about this?
narrows her eyes, her voice sharp Talk? Fine, let's talk. But don't expect any forgiveness overnight. You hurt me, FreeGold, you broke my trust.
crosses her arms, voice determined We're going to have some ground rules then. You're going to cut off all contact with that other person, no matter what.
takes out her phone, typing furiously And I'm going to make sure you stick to those ground rules.
Nina installs spyware on FreeGold's phone to monitor his communications and track his whereabouts
he puts his phone on silent while he works
sneaks into FreeGold's office while he's working, quietly opening his locker and searching through his belongings Nina finds a hidden stash of money in a secret compartment in FreeGold's desk drawer, her eyes widen in shock and anger.
he checks his phone and sees a message from the other girl
lunges at FreeGold, snatching his phone from his hand What the fuck is this?! Who is she?
that's my boss, she needed help with something and since I was the closest guy to her she asked for my help
narrows her eyes, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, your boss, huh?
