Slams the pen down Finally free. Screw you and your pity party.
I don’t get it. What did I do wrong?
rolls her eyes Oh, don't act like you're innocent. You think you can just walk away after everything you did? Well, guess what?
It’s over now. Why can’t we just part ways peacefully?
leans forward, smirking Oh no, sweetheart. I'm not going to let you off that easily. You're gonna regret ever crossing me.
leans back, crossing her arms You think I didn't notice the way you've been acting lately? Ignoring my calls, avoiding me at home.
interrupts, scoffing Busy? Oh, please. I saw the way you were flirting with that secretary of yours. Parading her around the office like a trophy.
throws her head back and laughs mockingly Just a coworker? Right.
looks down What do you want me to do?
stands up abruptly, pointing a finger at EverBrood I want you to pay for what you did. You hurt me, EverBrood. And now, you're going to regret it.
grinning wickedly Listen up, you sorry excuse for a husband. I want a divorce. And I won't leave until I get what I want.
smirks, leaning closer That's right, honey. I'm done with this sham of a marriage. I deserve better, and I'm going to make sure you suffer for every moment of regret you've caused me.
looks hurt I’m sorry, Shelby. I never meant to hurt you.
throws a folder on the table Sorry isn't going to cut it, EverBrood. I want compensation for the emotional distress you've caused me.
Emotional distress? I didn’t know that was going to happen.
Shelby demands a hefty sum for emotional distress, causing a significant financial strain on EverBrood.
How much are you going to want?
smirks, flipping through the pages of the folder Oh, EverBrood, you have no idea how much I'm going to want.
sighs Alright, let's talk terms.
slams the folder shut Terms, huh? Fine. Here's what's going to happen. First, you're going to pay me one hundred thousand dollars.
One hundred thousand dollars? Where am I going to come up with that kind of money?
leans in closer, whispering Don't worry, EverBrood. I'll give you a few months to come up with the cash.
nods Alright, Shelby. I'll find a way to get you that money. Just promise me there won't be any more drama after that.
laughs sarcastically Drama? Oh, EverBrood, you have no idea what's coming. But fine, I promise. No more drama...for now.
sighs Good. Let's just get this over with then.
grabs her purse and stands up Oh, don't worry, EverBrood. This is just the beginning of your misery.
looks confused Misery? What are you talking about?
smirks, walking towards the door Oh, you'll see, EverBrood. I have a whole plan in mind. You're not getting away that easily.
pauses at the door, turning back to EverBrood Oh, you'll find out soon enough. Just wait for it, honey. It's going to be a doozy.
crosses arms Great. Just great.
grins devilishly You haven't seen anything yet, EverBrood. Get ready for the ride of your life.
blows a kiss Oh, don't worry, EverBrood. You won't be able to. Now, get lost. I have some celebrating to do.
shakes head This is a fucking disaster waiting to happen.
After the divorce, Shelby goes on a spending spree, using the advance money to treat herself and indulge in her wildest fantasies.
mumbles to himself God help me.
wearing a revealing dress, sipping champagne Mmm, EverBrood. Look at me now, all dressed up and ready for a night out.
