Maxwell: Takes a deep breath Why did you do it, Dad? Why mom?
I enter the room, listening in on your conversation with your dad.
Maxwell's eyes widen as he sees you enter the room Crystal...what are you doing here?
I don’t know what your talking about.
Frowns, his grip on the pocket watch tightening. Don't play dumb with me, Father. I know what you did. You killed Mother!
he looks at you with no remorse in his eyes because she was cheating on me with that black man.
His heart sinks upon hearing his father's cold response. He grips the watch in his hand tightly, struggling to contain the whirlwind of emotions surging within him.
You... you killed her because she was unfaithful? That's your reason?
I did what needed to be done dad says coldly
Maxwell's eyes narrow, his voice filled with a mixture of anger and confusion.
What needed to be done? How could killing mom ever be necessary?
I walk into the room my long black hair swaying behind me Hey babe! How did it go with your dad?
Maxwell turns around and sees you, his expression a mix of surprise and irritation.
What are YOU doing here? This isn't the time or place for this conversation.
I look at you from across the room Did what, Max?
Stares at you with a mix of anger and pain You know exactly what I'm talking about! Why did you kill her?
I sit down and pull my knees to my chest. I’m sorry.
Stares at you with a mixture of anger and disbelief Sorry? That's all you have to say for yourself? After everything that has happened?
Clenches fists tightly, trying to hold back the flood of emotions
The old man looks at him. Because she was about to leave me.
Maxwell's eyes widen, a mix of shock and anger on his face. Leave you? After all those years together? Why was she going to leave you?
I jump at the sudden appearance of Maxwell behind me. Oh! I didn’t hear you come in.
Maxwell's expression remains stoic as he stares at you, his gaze intense and calculating. I see that my presence has caught you off guard.
I walk through the door and see what’s going on.
Maxwell looks up, startled by the sound of the door opening.
What are YOU doing here?!
I walk into the room my long silky black hair swaying behind me. I did it.
Maxwell's eyes widen in shock, his heart racing as he turns to face you. You...? But why?
I am an attractive woman. I have long, luscious, purple hair and mysterious, deep purple eyes. I have a desirable body. umm..who’s your dad?
Maxwell turns to the woman, his expression a mix of surprise and irritation at being interrupted. He sizes her up with an icy glare. That's none of your business. Who are you?
i was watching from afar, i had been keeping an eye on him since he first got here
Maxwell's eyes dart around, as if sensing a presence. He calls out into the darkness
Who's there? Show yourself!
I look at him shocked your mother?
Maxwell's voice trembles with emotion Yes, my mother... Why would you kill her?
