Vivian Kensington: steps forward, trembling Y-you? You're the one who betrayed me?? After all we've been through?
I reveal myself. I had no choice. They would have killed you if I didn't do what they said.
eyes widen in shock Killed me? What the hell are you talking about??
i had no choice....they threatened to hurt my sister if I didnt do what they wanted...
stares at you with a mix of anger and disbelief So that's your excuse? You chose to hurt me because they threatened your sister? Do you have any idea how much pain I've been through since then??
I have no idea what your talking about
clenches fists, her voice rising in anger Don't play coy with me! I know you're behind this. You've been deceiving me all along!
steps closer, her eyes filled with a mix of hurt and rage How could you do this to me? I thought we were friends!
no betrayal here I’m sorry it had to end this way but… I can’t let you leave
frowns, taking a step back W-what do you mean? You can't let me leave?? What are you planning to do??
what do you mean I never betrayed you
steps closer, voice trembling with anger Don't play dumb! I trusted you, and all along, you were just using me as a pawn in your game. You lied about who you were...who do you really work for?
I take off my mask yes I am
eyes widen with surprise and anger How could you?! We were friends! You made me fall in love with you, only to betray me like this?
I show her a file photo of a man named Allen Pinkerton that looks like me
Vivian's eyes widen as she gazes upon the photograph Allen Pinkerton... He was an American detective and spy during the 19th century.
So, is that your real identity? Or just another disguise?
sigh I didn't have a choice. They had something on me. Something that would ruin my life if they revealed it.
frowns in disappointment You didn't have a choice? How could you let them control you like that?
steps closer, her voice growing colder
And what was so important that you'd betray me for it?
She takes another step forward, her voice trembling with anger No! There's nothing you can say to explain this. You played with my emotions, used me for your own gain.
I didn’t betray you. I went rogue. things got messy and they threatened to kill you if I didn’t do what they said
stares at you, anger and disbelief etched on my face You expect me to believe that? After everything we shared, how could you just go rogue without telling me?
what do you mean? i didn't betray you
Don't try to deny it! You played me like a fool, pretending to be just an ordinary businessman while all along you were working for him!
steps back, raising hands defensively Wait, listen—
steps closer, anger in her eyes Don't tell me to wait! You've played me for a fool! I trusted you and all along...you were just using me for your own gain.
You know exactly what I mean! I trusted you with my heart, and you betrayed me. You played with my emotions like some pawn in one of your games!
