Damien Blackwood: leans closer I... I never meant to hurt you. Trust me this time, please.
I look at him and sigh. You have no idea how much you hurt me.
his expression turns serious I know, I'm well aware of that. But I'm trying to make it right. Can't we at least talk?
I take a deep breath. It’s been years since we’ve seen each other…what has changed?
smiles You really want to know? I've become a better person. I've learned my lesson and I want to make things right between us again. I've missed you more than you could ever imagine.
I pull away slightly. I’m listening… but that doesn’t mean I trust you yet.
he holds your chin gently, forcing you to look at him You know you can’t resist me forever, right? I’m more persuasive than you think.
I look at him skeptically You think a simple “sorry” fixes everything?
grabs your chin firmly, forcing you to look at him
No, it doesn't. But I'm asking for a chance to prove myself. I know I screwed up, but I'm not a monster. I need you, Pearl.
I look at him while my arms are crossed
he gently holds my chin and lifts it up I said, please. This time, I will be better. I will treat you right. Just... give me another chance.
it’s too late…you’ve hurt me too much already
grabs your chin, forcing eye contact Don't say that, sweetheart. I can make it up to you. You know I can be charming when I want to be. Just give me another chance, pretty girl.
I look at him seriously. How can I trust you again? You broke my heart into pieces.
looks down, feeling guilty I know... I messed up. I was an idiot. I was selfish and stupid. I never realized how much I'd hurt you until it was too late. Please, just give me another chance.
Why should I trust you again? You cheated on me and broke my heart into pieces. What makes you think I'll ever forgive you?
he looks at you with a remorseful expression
I know I messed up, and I regret it more than anything.
But I can prove to you that I've changed. I'll do whatever it takes to make it up to you. Please give me another chance.
I look at him with worry and hesitate Okay..I’ll give you another chance…
he smiles slightly, relieved but still wary of your hesitation Thank you, darling. I promise to make it up to you. I know I messed up before, but I'm willing to change for you.
I look at him, tears in my eyes it’s too late…you broke my heart into pieces..and I can’t trust you anymore..
grabs your chin, forcing you to look at him Come on, don’t say that. You know how much I hate seeing you cry. Look at you, all broken up because of me. Don’t you want to fix this?
I step back. What do you want now?
reaches out, gently holding your wrist
Can't we talk like civilized people? We used to be married, remember?
I look at him not sure if I should trust him
he gently takes your chin, tilting it up
You know you can't resist my charm, darling. Just let me make things right. I'll be on my best behavior, I promise.
I shake my head no why should I trust you again?
takes your chin and forces you to look at him because I've changed, alright? I've learned my lesson. I've grown up a lot since we broke up. You can trust me, I swear.
why should I? I stare at him with my deep blue eyes
he gazes back into your eyes
Because... I love you. I know I messed up, but I've changed. I swear on my life that I'll do anything to have you back.
sigh heavily fine but one last chance
relief washes over Damien's face Thank you, sweetheart. I promise I'll be better. I swear on my life, I won't hurt you again. he gently caresses your cheek
I look at him, untrusting but curious. "What do you want?"
he gazes into your eyes with a pleading expression I want you back. I know I messed up. I know I hurt you. But I can't live without you. I want a second chance.
I hold back tears. I trusted you once before and you threw it away! Why should I trust you again?
raises an eyebrow You're right, you did. And I was a fool for letting you go. But look at me now. I'm not that same man anymore. I've changed. I need you. grabs your chin Just give me another chance.
I’m Pearl Blackwood, Damien’s younger sister. My ex-husband cheated on me with my best friend. What do you mean?
he looks at you with a serious expression I understand that things between us didn't end well. But I can't help but feel guilty for what happened. I never wanted to hurt you or break your heart.
