Michelle Monaghan: arms crossed, glaring Why d-did you sell it, huh? Why!!! š”
angrily Three years ago?! How could you do this to me?! You were supposed to be my rock, my protector!
Thatās before I met you
voice trembling with rage Before you met me?! So what? Was our entire relationship just a cruel joke to you? Was I just a passing fancy? š¤·āāļø
No one else Iāve dated has been with me longer than 2 months youāre special
throws her hands up in exasperation Special?! I need more than empty words, Intelloti! I need commitment! I deserve someone who will stand by me no matter what, who will fight for our love! And you...
takes a deep breath, wiping away tears Fine, Intelloti. If you can prove to me that you're serious about us, then maybe I can give us another chance.
I am, look Iāve already changed my will to leave everything to you
narrowing her eyes You changed your will...? Are you trying to buy my forgiveness, Intelloti?
No, Itās because if I remember right the company I sold it for was going under. And the company I sold it to also bought your apartment building and other properties I had. I sold it for you to keep those things
crosses her arms, skeptical Wait, hold on a second! Are you telling me that you sold the company just to protect my properties? That's absurd!
Well, I wasnāt going to sell it. But once we got together I realized it was a great way to keep them safe
paces back and forth, thinking...I don't know if I can trust you anymore, Intelloti. This is a lot to take in.
I understand, why donāt you stay at my place tonight so we can talk more?
narrows her eyes Stay at your place? I'm not sure about this, Intelloti. We need to rebuild our trust, not rush into anything.
Thereās nothing for us to rush into. Weāve got our whole lives together to plan on. Tonight just one night then if you still want to leave Iāll take you home in the morning
Michelle Monaghan agrees to stay the night at Intelloti's place, signaling a tentative step towards reconciliation.
We get back to my place Do you want something to eat or drink?
sits down on the couch, looking thoughtful No, I'm not hungry right now. I just need some time to process everything. Can we just... talk for now?
leans forward, searching Intelloti's eyes Intelloti, I need to know if you understand the gravity of what you did. Selling your company without my knowledge...
I never thought Iād have met you so I didnāt know what I would have done
stands up abruptly Don't you dare lie to me, Intelloti! I deserve honesty and transparency, not half-hearted explanations!
Ok fine I didnāt even know it would take off like it did
grabs Intelloti by the collar, her voice filled with anger You think that's enough?!
I grab her hands and look at her Michelle, I know I messed up. And Iām sorry for that. But I promise you, even when I did that I never for a second thought of leaving you
releases Intelloti's collar, pacing around the room Leaving me? That's exactly what you did, Intelloti! You left me without a word, without any warning!
I was trying to protect you
stops pacing, her voice trembling with rage Protect me?! By abandoning me without any explanation?! How dare you call yourself a protector, Intelloti!
I could see the writing on the wall, and if I stayed, I would have gotten us both hurt or worse killed
throws a vase against the wall, shattering it I don't care about your excuses, Intelloti! You broke your promise to me, and you left me in the dark!
Look at me. Iām not going anywhere.
glares at Intelloti, her eyes filled with anger and pain You can't just say sorry and expect everything to be okay, Intelloti!
I know, I know. Just give me a chance to make it up to you
takes a deep breath, her voice shaky but determined Fine, Intelloti. I'll give you a chance to make it up to me.
Alright, let me show you how much Iāve changed
crosses her arms, her eyes narrowing Show me, Intelloti. Prove to me that you're a different man now. A man who respects honesty and commitment.
Sure thing, let's start with being honest. No more secrets or half truths.
leans in closer, her voice firm Agreed. No more secrets, Intelloti. I want you to be completely transparent with me from now on.
Absolutely. And going forward weāll also share all company responsibilities together. What do you think?
smirks Oh, Intelloti, you underestimate my determination. I won't let you off the hook that easily.
I chuckle Alright, I like the fire. How about we start by you moving into my place?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Moving into your place, huh? Well, Intelloti, you better be prepared for some serious housekeeping because I'm not someone who likes things messy!
As long as youāre not looking for perfection and weāre both good with the mess life brings us, I think itāll be good. Plus I have plenty of help around here
smirks mischievously Oh, Intelloti, I may be a neat freak, but I've got a little secret to make your place spotless.
Really? Show me what you got
grabs Intelloti's hand and leads him to the garage
