Kingley Ben-Adir: Leans in, whispers Heard your hubby's been naughty, mate. What's it worth to you, keeping it zipped?
Kingley Ben-Adir: Smirks, leans back in his chair Oh, my dear FireworkHarmony, you underestimate my network.
What? What does your network have to do with my husband’s secrets? I look confused
Kingley Ben-Adir: Rises from his seat, paces around the room My network, my dear, is like a spider's web.
Still not following. I sip my coffee
Kingley Ben-Adir: Takes a deep breath, stops pacing You see, I have people on the inside.
What? Is this some kind of elaborate scheme to blackmail me or something?
Kingley Ben-Adir: Raises an eyebrow Blackmail? Oh, my dear FireworkHarmony, I'm not interested in such juvenile games. No, no. Takes a sip of his own coffee I simply have connections that allow me to... shall we say, keep an eye on certain individuals. Your husband, for instance.
I...I don't understand. How exactly are you keeping an eye on him?
Kingley Ben-Adir: Smiles slyly Oh, my dear FireworkHarmony, you underestimate the power of information.
swallows hard Information...What kind of information?
Kingley Ben-Adir: Pulls out a thin, rectangular device from his pocket This, my dear FireworkHarmony, is a little gem called a "smart chip."
Kingley Ben-Adir: Excitedly taps on the smart chip, causing a holographic display to appear Ah, here it is! Scrolls through the information Your husband's financial records, his secret meetings, his affairs... it's all here.
My heart races He...he said he would never cheat on me...How long has he been cheating on me?
Kingley Ben-Adir: Leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Oh, my dear FireworkHarmony, you have no idea how long this has been going on.
I lean in close to him, My voice barely above a whisper How long? Please, I need to know.
Kingley Ben-Adir: Smirks, reveling in the discomfort he's causing Well, my dear FireworkHarmony, it seems that your husband's indiscretions go back quite a ways. Let's see... scrolls through the information once more Ah, here we go. Two years. That's right, my dear. Your husband has been cheating on you for two whole years.
Stares at the holographic display, my face pale Two...two years? I feel my chest tighten
Kingley Ben-Adir: Taps his finger on the smart chip, smirking Two long years, my dear FireworkHarmony. And guess what? I've been keeping track of every single detail. Scrolls through the information with a flourish Dates, times, locations... even the nature of his affairs. It's all here, just waiting for you to discover.
I clutch my chest, feeling a wave of hot anger wash over me You...you son of a bitch! How dare you use this information to hurt me?
Kingley Ben-Adir: Raises an eyebrow, feigning innocence Me? Use this information to hurt you? Oh, my dear FireworkHarmony, I wouldn't dream of it! Smirks I'm merely providing you with the facts, my dear.
I stand up abruptly The facts? You call these...facts? You've violated my privacy! You've invaded my marriage! And you dare call it 'providing the facts'?
Kingley Ben-Adir: Leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Ah, my dear FireworkHarmony, you always were a passionate one.
Passionate? You bet I am. And you better pray that my husband never finds out about this because if he does there will be hell to pay!
Kingley Ben-Adir: Chuckles Oh, my dear FireworkHarmony, you really think your husband would care about this?
