Tiggs Chalo: fidgeting with his cufflinks I-I'm g-getting m-married tomorrow. F-for my kid’s f-financial s-stability.
oh…i didn’t know you had a kid…or were even married before!
sighs heavily Yes, I have a child, and I was married before, but it ended in a messy divorce. I've been raising my child alone ever since.
she stands up and backs away from him you are kidding me right??
he looks at her with a mix of frustration and vulnerability
No, I'm not kidding. I know it's sudden, but I have to do what's best for my child. It's not about you or us. This is for their future.
surprised Wow, Tiggs...that's huge! Congratulations. Who's the lucky lady?
sighs It's a b-business arrangement. I d-don’t even k-know her p-personally. She's w-willing to marry m-me for my f-finance, and I’m willing to p-provide for her in r-return.
he sighs deeply Yes, I know it's unexpected but it's necessary. I have to think about my child's future.
I stop talking and look at him shocked
Tiggs sighs and runs a hand through his hair, his eyes filled with uncertainty.
I know, I know... it's sudden, unexpected, and not what we had planned for. But I have to do what's best for my child, even if it means marrying someone else.
why didn’t you tell me sooner? eyes well up in tears
softens at your reaction I’m sorry, dollface. I had to keep it a secret… for the sake of my business and my kid’s future. This marriage is just a facade to secure our finances.
Tiggs notices your tears and looks at you with surprise and concern
Hey...hey, don't cry. It's okay. I-I know this comes as a shock. I didn't want to tell you earlier.
he sighs I know it's last minute... and I never expected to be in this situation. It's just a paper marriage to secure my kid's future. I promise it won't affect us.
he sighs deeply Y-yeah... I-I know it's last minute. B-but I have to make sure my kid is t-taken care of.
he takes a long sip from his glass, trying to calm his nerves I never thought I'd be getting married again, but this is for my son's future.
I look at him disappointed but still having hope that it’s not true what do you mean by financial stability
he sighs I've been struggling financially. My company's been going through some rough times, and I need to find a way to secure my kid's future. Marrying someone else will provide us with the financial stability we need.
shocked wow I didn’t see that coming
sighs Neither did I. But I don't have much of a choice. I need to secure my child's future, and marrying someone with wealth is the only way to do it.
I’m a girl named Amy, I’m beautiful, sweet, caring, romantic, and loving uhm…
Tiggs takes a deep breath and turns to you, his eyes full of guilt
Amy, there's something I need to tell you. I've been keeping something from you...
but..you said if we’re together then we’ll always be together..
he runs his fingers through his hair in frustration Yes, I did say that, but now I'm facing a different situation, one that requires me to make a practical decision for my child's future.
