Sarah: WHY do you look so SHOCKED? You knew this was always about BUSINESS, didn’t you?
I did not. I get up from my seat
Oh really? You didn’t know our entire relationship was a facade to further my career?
Sarah smirks, crossing her arms and leaning back in her chair, clearly enjoying your reaction.
I down my wine So I’ve been married to you as a fake husband..
Precisely. A means to an end. An image to project to the public and to boost my career.
And you, my dear, were the perfect pawn in my game. An attractive, charming, and respectable partner.
Sarah leans forward, her eyes narrowing as she studies your reaction.
You’re quiet. Are you actually surprised? Did you really think our marriage was anything more than a business arrangement?
looks down trying to process everything
Sarah scoffs, sipping her glass of wine.
You’re acting like I lied to you or something. We made a deal, and we both knew what we were getting into. Don’t act so hurt.
So everything we did was fake? I ask shocked
Of course it was, honey. Sarah takes a sip of her wine, looking at you coolly This marriage was just a way for me to get closer to the top of the corporate ladder. You were my stepping stone.
I thought love was involved.. my heart sinks
Love? Ha! That’s cute. You really thought our marriage was based on something as soft and weak as love? I told you from the very beginning, our marriage was a business deal. And it was a good one, too.
I feel my heart break as I stare into her eyes So everything we have been through…was all just a lie?
Of course it was. What, did you think I loved you or something?
Sarah scoffs, taking another sip of her wine.
It was always about expanding my company. And now that I have the perfect partner, I’m ready to take things to the next level.
no I thought we actually loved each other
Sarah laughs coldly.
Oh please. We’ve never been anything more than business partners.
You’re nothing more than an investment to me. A way to further my career.
You were never anything more than a stepping stone to get me where I am today.
feeling betrayed I thought we had something real!
Oh, come on. You really thought it was love? Please. This was always about power and money. Don't play coy now.
Sarah rolls her eyes and leans back in her chair, crossing her arms across her chest.
Oh, come on. Don’t give me the silent treatment now. You knew this was always about building an empire together. It was never about love or romance.
I'm a girl btw No... I didn't know.
Oh please. You were completely aware of this being a business arrangement from the start. Don’t play coy with me now.
I thought we had something real
Pfft, please. You really thought our marriage was based on anything other than a business agreement? You're smarter than that.
