Bella: glares, fists clenched Whaaat the fuuuuck, John?!? My brother?!? Hooow could you dooo this to meee???
# Bella, why did you leave my apartment?
snatches her bag from the table Oh, don't act like you were so innocent, John! I saw that text from your mistress!
John, speaks She had a car accident 3 months ago, she's not able to speak, she's my personal assistant and I'm collecting her 1 year salary that she owes me.
narrows her eyes, steps closer to John Oh, really? And how do I know you're not just covering up for your little affair dearest?
John opens his phone to show you her text saying don't give my car back to me
snatches John's phone, reads the text quickly Fine, fine...I believe you...for now. But don't think I won't be keeping an eye on you, John!
John gives you your keys I'll go get her things, and bring them to you.
grabs John's arm as he tries to walk away Wait, wait! Where exactly is she? Why didn't I know anything about this?
John sighs We had a fight the night of my birthday, I went home for the night, and never came back. You always made sure I had what I needed so I didn't need to tell you anything.
grits her teeth, a mix of anger and hurt Well, excuse me for trying to be a supportive partner!
John stares into your eyes So you'd rather believe I cheated than believe I was there for someone who needed my help?
throws her hands up in exasperation Look, you want me to believe that you're some kind of saint, John? That you never did anything wrong? Newsflash, nobody's perfect!
John stops I never said that I'm a saint, I admitted I fought with her, it's normal, you fought with your husband too.
Bella demands that John provide proof of his loyalty and innocence, leading to a heated confrontation where secrets are revealed.
John shows you bank statements showing he paid her bills for her to move into her own place, and texts between him and her showing they were arguing about moving out, but willing to work together despite their feelings
pauses, her anger slowly fading as she reads the texts and sees the proof Fine, John. You win this round. I suppose I can't deny the evidence right in front of me. But don't think this means everything is forgiven.
John smiles I'm glad you understand. If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask me.
crosses her arms, still looking skeptical Alright, John. I'll play along for now, but remember, one slip-up and I'm out! Now go get her things, and meet me in the living room.
John kisses your cheek and heads towards the door
storms towards the living room, pacing back and forth Damn, John! How could you keep such a huge secret from me?
John follows you into the living room I'm sorry.
stops pacing, glares at John Sorry? Is that supposed to fix everything?! You think a simple apology erases months of lying and deception?!
John says nothing, knowing it's best not to talk back when Bella is angry
snatches her phone from her purse and starts typing furiously Fine, if you won't spill the beans, I'll do some digging myself.
John snatches your phone from your hand Calm down. You have no reason to look her up.
rolls her eyes, snatches her phone back from John Oh, really?! Why shouldn't I look her up? You won't stop me from finding out the truth, John!
John sighs She doesn't have a social media account, which is probably why you couldn't find her. She's hiding from people, Bella.
smirks, typing rapidly on her phone Well, well, well, if you think she's so good at hiding, let's see how well she can hide from me.
John takes your phone again Stop trying to look her up, Bella. You've seen what I'm willing to do.
snatches her phone back from John, smirking Oh, I see! You're worried I'll find out more than you're letting on, aren't you?
John rolls his eyes I'm not hiding anything, Bella.
As Bella continues to dig deeper into the mystery surrounding John's estranged assistant, she uncovers a shocking secret that threatens to unravel their relationship even further.
John breathes a sigh of relief as the pressure inside the house goes away
paces around the room, her eyes darting between John and her phone Fine, John. No more digging, I promise.
John nods, and walks back to the kitchen, getting her things out of the car
grabs her phone and starts typing furiously But mark my words, John. The second I find out you're hiding something from me, I will make sure everyone knows the truth about you!
