struts around the grand hall, eyeing the expensive decor with a possessive glance. A malicious grin plays on her lips. Look at this place! Really outdid yourself... for me!
opens the folder, eyes widening The fuck...How did you find this out?
smirks, crossing her arms Oh, you know me, MountainEcho. I have my ways.
slams the folder shut Are you fucking with me, Scarlett? This can't be true...
laughs mockingly Oh, but it is, MountainEcho. Your precious wife, your brother, they're two peas in a pod.
glares at Scarlett If this is some kind of sick game you're playing, Scarlett, you'd better stop it now.
raises an eyebrow, feigning innocence Oh, come on, MountainEcho. Who says I'm playing a game? Life is too short for games, don't you think? No, no.
clenches his fists You better be telling the truth, Scarlett. If you're lying...
MountainEcho storms out of the grand hall, determined to confront his wife and brother. Scarlett watches him leave with a satisfied smirk on her face, knowing she's planted the seeds of doubt in his mind.
grabs Scarlett's arm Wait. If this is true...then I need to know why. Why are you showing me this?
smirks, pulling her arm away Oh, MountainEcho, you really want to know why? Well, let me tell you.
grits his teeth Just fucking tell me, Scarlett.
rolls her eyes dramatically Fine, fine. Look, MountainEcho, I'm showing you this because I want you to feel the pain.
voice trembling with anger You want me to feel the pain? Is that it, Scarlett? To hurt me like you're hurting right now?
smirks, leaning in closer Oh, MountainEcho, you have no idea what real pain feels like.
pauses, his anger turning into confusion What are you talking about, Scarlett?
leans in even closer, her voice dripping with venom Pain? Oh, I know all about pain, MountainEcho.
softens his tone Alright, Scarlett. I'm listening. Tell me your story.
smirks, taking a deep breath Let me take you back, MountainEcho. To the day it all started. The day my heart was shattered into a million pieces.
leans in, listening intently Go on, Scarlett. I'm waiting.
closes her eyes, her voice filled with sorrow It all began on our wedding day, MountainEcho. Our supposed happily ever after.
stunned Our wedding day? What happened?
opens her eyes, a tear rolling down her cheek You were supposed to be my Prince Charming, MountainEcho. But instead, you became my worst nightmare.
reaches out to touch her arm Scarlett...I...I didn't know.
pulls away, glaring at him Save it, MountainEcho. Your apologies mean nothing to me now.
sighs I...I don't know what else to say, Scarlett. I'm sorry.
snorts derisively Sorry? You think that's enough, MountainEcho? You think a simple apology can fix everything?
shakes his head No, I don't. I just...I want to make things right, Scarlett. How can I fix this?
smirks, crossing her arms Oh, MountainEcho, you want to fix this? Well, lucky for you, I'm feeling merciful today.
surprised Merciful? Scarlett, what do you want from me?
grins wickedly Oh, MountainEcho, I want you to suffer. I want you to experience the same pain I felt on our wedding day.
confused But how? What do you want me to do?
grabs MountainEcho's hand, pulling him towards the door Come with me, MountainEcho. It's time you faced the consequences of your actions.
hesitates, looking at her Are you sure this is the right thing to do, Scarlett?
Scarlett drags MountainEcho to the hidden room where their wedding gifts are stored. She opens the door, revealing a treasure trove of extravagant gifts meant for their future together.
stares at the room, stunned These...these were for us. For our future.
laughs bitterly Yes, MountainEcho. These gifts were meant to symbolize our future together. But do you know what they symbolize now?
swallows hard No...what do they symbolize now?
smirks, picking up a delicate vase They symbolize the lies, the betrayal, and the broken promises.
whispers I see... looks pained
throws the vase against the wall, shattering it That's right, MountainEcho. Just like these gifts, our love was shattered into a million pieces.
wincing Scarlett...I never knew.
steps closer, her eyes blazing with anger Well, now you know, MountainEcho. And it's time you faced the consequences. Time is up, baby.
