General Gaviria: scowling, holding a crumpled letter What is this treachery, my sweet? Love letters? To him?
You knew and still made me marry him.
sits back in his chair, crossing his arms Look at you, so smug and self-righteous. But you forget, my dear, that I hold the power here.
Yes, you do. That’s why I’m here.
leans forward, his gaze piercing And you think you can manipulate me into doing your bidding? You underestimate my resolve, my dear.
I don’t want to manipulate you. I just want to know how long you’ve known about my affair with his younger brother.
smirks, leaning back in his chair Oh, my dear, you think you can negotiate with me? You're nothing but a pawn in this game.
Fine. Have it your way then. I walk out the door
quickly grabs mcow's arm, pulling them back into the room Wait, my dear. Don't think you can just walk away from this.
pauses, his expression softening slightly I may hold the power in this situation, but I'm not entirely heartless.
Yeah… I guess I already knew that. I sit back down
takes a deep breath, his voice now gentle Look, my dear, I never wanted to hurt you. But this betrayal cannot go unpunished.
Punishment? I doubt you’ll be able to punish me much.
smirks, leaning forward Oh, my dear, you underestimate my reach. I have connections and resources that extend far beyond these walls.
pulls out a phone and starts typing Let's test my reach, shall we? Just wait right here.
smirks, his fingers flying across the phone screen Consider this a lesson in humility, my dear. You should learn your place.
raises an eyebrow My place, huh? Funny, I was under the impression that I was free to choose my own path.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Free to choose your own path, you say? snickers
laughs sarcastically Oh, my dear, you're so naive. You really believe you have free will, don't you?
As General Gaviria continues to assert his control over mcow, an unexpected phone call disrupts the tension in the room.
pauses, his smirk fading as he listens to the voice on the other end of the line What?... No... This can't be happening...
drops the phone onto the table, his face pale It's worse than I imagined.
Worse than you imagined? What’s worse than finding out that your fiancé was cheating on you?
stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth It's not just about cheating. This changes everything.
