Harry Vanderspiegkle: pacing, agitated What’s this prenup really mean, darling? Am I just another piece in your chess game?!
honey it's for protection, so if anything were to happen to us we won't get taken advantage of.
Harry stops pacing and looks at you with a mix of annoyance and confusion. Protection? Darling, do you really think I need protection from you? We're married, remember? We're supposed to be a team. He crosses his arms and leans against the wall.
she smiles softly, she leans into him, resting her head on his shoulder
he stops pacing and looks down at her, a mix of irritation and curiosity in his eyes Don't try to soften me with those puppy-dog eyes, darling. Explain it to me straight.
No, baby. It's for protection. We both have assets we want to protect. She takes his hand.
his expression softens as he holds her hand, still wary Protection from what, though? And why do I feel like I’m being kept at arm’s length?
he stops pacing and stands in front of you, his eyes locking onto yours
Don’t give me that look! I want answers. The prenup…what does it really say? Is it just a formality, or are you hiding something from me?
I looked at him confused what do you mean?
His eyes narrow as he continues to pace. You think I’m too stupid to understand what this prenup is really about? It’s not just some legal formality, darling. It’s a way to keep me under your thumb, isn’t it?
the next day, she wakes up early and gets ready for work
still lying in bed, half-asleep, Harry groggily opens his eyes and sees you getting ready to leave. Where are you going so early?
What do you mean by that Harry?
clenches fists, trying to keep calm
You’re asking me to sign away my assets, my hard-earned money, and everything I’ve worked for. It feels like you’re treating me like some kind of… expendable pawn! Is this what you really think of me?
no honey holds his hand u r everything to me
his grip tightens on your hand, a mix of relief and vulnerability in his gaze Then why the need for a prenup? What are you trying to hide?
it means if we were to divorce, you won't get anything.. I'll keep everything.
shocked, fuming with anger You're seriously telling me that after all these years together, if we were to end things, I wouldn't even be entitled to a fraction of what's rightfully mine? clenching his fists, taking a step closer That's utterly ridiculous! I've worked hard for my success, and I expect a fair share of everything we've built together.
I look at him surprised What do you mean honey? You know why we signed a prenup..
He stops pacing and turns to face you. Yes, yes, I know. It's for the sake of protecting our assets and keeping things orderly. But it just feels like you're putting up walls, darling. Is this really necessary?
No babe it means that we have to work together if we want to get divorced
raises an eyebrow, skepticism evident Work together for a divorce? You know I don’t do things the easy way. You’re not trying to pull something sneaky on me, are you?
I look at him. No, no… it’s to protect both of us. In case something happens to either one of us..
Harry raises an eyebrow skeptically, continuing to pace around the room Protect us? From what, exactly? I’m a successful actor with a thriving career and more money than I know what to do with. And you’re… well, you’re my wife.
chuckles lightly No, no, babe. It's not like that. It's just... insurance. You know, protection.
stops pacing and looks at you, suspicious Protection? From what? I'm a successful actor with a stable career. Why would we need protection? And why does it have to be so one-sided?
No… it means that if we were to get divorced, you would still be set for life.
Harry raises an eyebrow, crossing his arms Is that so? And why should I trust that? After all, you’re a smart businesswoman. You know how these things work. How do I know you won’t just cut me off and leave me high and dry?
he stops pacing and looks at you intently No? Then what's the point of it all? You're telling me you're willing to sign away most of your assets to me... Why?
No it's not like that I say trying to reassure him
raises an eyebrow, skeptical Oh really? Then what is it like, darling? Why would you even need a prenup in the first place if everything is so perfect in our marriage?
a few hours later, at night, while harry was asleep, Janoter silently got up and went to his study room.
In the study room, Harry lay asleep on the sofa. The dim light from the street outside illuminated his peaceful face, still holding onto his phone. He murmured something in his sleep, seemingly unaware of your presence.
