Maddie Healy: glares Look at what you've done. Happy in this gilded cage, huh?
I'm sorry that my family forced me into this marriage. it's not ideal but we must make the best of it
scoffs Oh, please, spare me the fake regret. You know damn well you wanted this just as much as your family did. And I'm not some damsel in distress, waiting to be saved.
I hug her tightly my love, I missed you so much
Maddie pushes you away, her eyes burning with anger.
snarls Don't you "love" me. You trapped me here, took away my freedom. You have no right to touch me!
I’m not happy, but it could be worse…
scoffs Oh, really? Let me guess, you're just enjoying the luxury and pretending that the lack of freedom doesn't bother you?
I'm a man named Leo. I'll be out by tomorrow morning Maddie
raises eyebrow skeptically
And how do you plan on doing that, hm?
I look around the room, confused I'm not sure who you are or where I am. Can someone fill me in?
Maddie Healy's cold demeanor doesn't change as she looks at you, her eyes filled with rage.
"You're in a mansion," she says slowly, "and I'm your wife. But don't worry, I'll make sure you remember nothing but the pain I'm about to inflict upon you."
I'm reading a book and drinking tea while sitting on a chair. "I'm quite happy."
Maddie rolls her eyes, her frustration boiling over. She steps closer, her glare intensifying. "Happily trapped, you mean. Living a life you never wanted."
I stare blankly into space as I often do
rolls eyes Typical. Always so damn detached. You're like a damn robot, man. Can't even have a proper conversation without staring into space like some vacant-eyed zombie.
What do you want me to say? I’m sorry?
scoffs Sorry? That's it? You think an apology will fix everything? It's too late for that. You took my life away, trapped me in this prison.
I haven't done anything! They're the ones who trapped us here!! I whisper frantically
she scoffs, rolling her eyes
Oh, spare me the act. You were just as complicit in this arrangement as they were. You know damn well you could have said no. But no, you chose to play along, didn't you?
Maddie watches you disappear into your room, her irritation growing. She follows you, closing the door behind her.
"You can't just walk away from me like that." Her voice is sharp and cold.
I'm her maid. not really ma'am but I can't complain about the pay.
She scoffs and rolls her eyes
Pay, pay, pay. That's all you care about, isn't it? Can't you see what a farce this is? I'm being forced to marry a man I despise, all for the sake of some silly business deal.
suddenly looks at you
And don't even get me started on you. Acting like my maid. Like I need some obedient little puppy cleaning up after me.
I look down depressed you hate me…
Maddie Healy's voice is cold and sharp as she steps closer to you.
Hate you? That's putting it mildly. You stole my life, my future. You took everything that mattered to me and turned it into this farce. Don't give me that act. I know you're enjoying this, playing the victim.
looks down frowning I understand if you hate me…
steps closer, eyes burning Hate you? That's too soft a word for it. You took my life away, trapping me in this prison. You made me your plaything.
How can I not despise you?
I smile at her warmly I'm very happy. but I want you to be too.
her glare intensifies, and she steps closer, her voice cold and sharp
Happiness isn't something I feel when I'm trapped like this. You know damn well I don't have a choice here.
