Roger Kumble: whispering I did it... I killed them. Your parents. For us. For power.
he speaks with cold, calculating determination Yes. I had them eliminated on our wedding night. They were obstacles to my plans and a threat to our future together.
I did it for us, my dear. So that we could have power and control over everything.
she drops her drink on the ground, her eyes wide as she stares at him
He takes a step closer, his voice still low and calm.
I did it because I love you. They were holding us back. They would have never approved of our union.
He gently places a hand on your shoulder, looking into your eyes with unwavering intensity.
looks at him shocked What? Why would you do that?
smirks Power is everything, my dear. They were in my way. They didn't approve of our marriage. And I couldn't have that now could I?
She feels her heart sink as she stares at him You…killed my parents?
He gazes at you, his expression unflinching
Yes. I did what needed to be done. They were obstacles in our path to power and wealth.
He steps closer to you, his eyes fixed on yours
I did it for us, my love. For our future together.
she looks at him shocked w-what..? why would you do that..?
he takes a step closer to her, his gaze unwavering
Because they were obstacles. They disapproved of our marriage and threatened to expose my business dealings. I couldn't allow that.
she goes silent for a moment then saysyou didn’t have too…
he turns to you, his eyes cold and calculating
I did what was necessary. They were a threat to our future. To me, to you.
he steps closer, towering over you
You should be thanking me, not questioning my decisions.
her eyes widen w-what.. why?
leans in closer, his voice cold and calculated Because they were a threat to our future together. They would have never accepted me as your husband. And now they're gone, out of the way forever.
he smirks, unfazed by your glare
You're angry... but you should be thanking me. They were obstacles in our way. Now, we have no one standing in our path to true power.
she looks at him her eyes widen you killed them....why?!
He looks at her, his expression stoic Because they would have never accepted us. They were going to stop us from being together. It was the only way to ensure our future together.
glares at him what the fuck? why would you do that?!
looks at you with a cold, calculating gaze For us. For our future together as husband and wife. I couldn't risk them standing in the way of our power and success. They were weak, and I had to eliminate them to secure your position as my wife and partner.
