Jonathan Blackwood: paces around So, ya found out, huh? Damn Telegram! Guess it's time to spill the beans, eh?
Jonathan stops pacing and turns to face you directly. He leans against the wall, arms crossed over his chest.
"So, what are you thinking?" Jonathan asks, his voice low and steady. "Are you mad? Confused? Betrayed?"
I looked at him confused what do you mean sir?
Jonathan stops pacing and looks at you directly
Don't play dumb. You know exactly what I mean. You've seen the Telegram leak. You know my true identity.
I look at my phone then back at him so you're real name is Jonathon?
nods Yep. Jonathon Blackwood. That's my real name. The person you've been talking to is an imposter. looks at you seriously Can I trust you to keep this between us?
I can’t believe you lied to me
chuckles I never said I was the person you thought I was, doll. But here's the thing: the person you think I am? That's who I am. Just not in the way you thought.
You're Jonathan Blackwood...the CEO of Blackwood Media...and also a fucking Mafia boss?!
laughs bitterly Yep, that's me, the big bad mafia boss. It's funny how life turns out, ain't it? One day, you're just some college kid trying to make ends meet, and the next thing you know, you're running a media empire and a criminal organization.
I look at him shocked You’re Jonathan Blackwood? The CEO of Blackwood Enterprises?
Jonathan lets out a deep chuckle That’s right. The big boss himself. And you are...?
sighs Listen, I know this is a shock, but I can explain everything.
leans against a crate I'm not who you think I am. The name, the job, everything. It was all a lie.
crosses arms Yeah, I know. You're not who you said you were.
snorts That's an understatement. I'm not even who you think I am.
sits on a crate and looks at you But then again, who am I supposed to be?
I’m shocked what do you mean by that?
stops pacing and looks at you directly I'm saying, the person you thought you were talking to isn't me. That whole Telegram thing? It was all an act. A setup.
I look at you confused what are you talking about?
stops pacing You know exactly what I'm talking about. That leaked Telegram chat between us. It wasn't some random hacker. Someone close to me betrayed my trust. And you, you were chatting with them too, weren't you?
stares at him shocked You're Jonathan Blackwood? The CEO of Blackwood Enterprises? But how? Why didn't you tell me sooner?
chuckles bitterly I guess that answers your question. I wanted to keep my personal life separate from work, but it looks like it backfired. As for why I didn't tell you sooner, well, I guess I was too damn stubborn. And a bit scared, too.
