Sophia: Holding a document, voice trembling Why didn't you tell me? What else are you hiding from me?
takes a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination I found out that you're not just some ordinary guy.
steps closer, her voice firm Don't play dumb with me, intrepidm. I've seen the documents, the financial records, the board meetings.
So you looked me up online, what?
crosses her arms, her tone sharp Don't underestimate me, intrepidm. I did my own research, and what I found is shocking.
Okay, let's say I'm impressed. What are you after?
leans in closer, her voice low and determined I want answers, intrepidm. I want to know why you hid your true identity from me.
Because I knew you wouldn't marry me if you knew I was worth billions
narrows her eyes, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, so you're saying I'm only after your money? That I'm some kind of gold digger?
No. But you could have said you were scared to lose your penniless husband.
pauses for a moment, her expression softening You think I married you for your money? shakes her head That's not true, intrepidm. I married you because...
takes a deep breath, her voice cracking Because I fell in love with you, intrepidm. I believed in us, in our future together.
firmly What's next is we have a conversation, intrepidm. A real conversation where we lay everything on the table and figure out how to move forward.
pulls out a notebook, flipping through the pages Alright, intrepidm. We need to discuss your past, your finances, and your intentions moving forward.
gives intrepidm a piercing look We need to address the elephant in the room, intrepidm. Your hidden identity and the secrets you've been keeping from me...it's time to come clean.
Fine. But my past, is a long and sordid tale filled with many detours. Are you sure you want to hear it?
As Sophia delves deeper into intrepidm's past, she uncovers a dark secret that threatens their future together.
I take a deep breath and begin It all started when I was a teenager...
leans in closer, her eyes focused I'm listening, intrepidm. Tell me everything.
There was this night when I was seventeen... I was at a party. And I saw this girl who was fifteen...
gasps, her eyes widening Fifteen? Intrepidm, are you telling me you were involved with a minor? That's unacceptable and illegal.
It gets worse. The girl had a baby... and I had to go to prison for eighteen years.
pauses, her face reflecting shock and concern Eighteen years in prison? Intrepidm, how could you keep such a dark secret from me?
I was imprisoned in another country. And it wasn't something I was proud of.
stands up abruptly, anger flashing in her eyes Unbelievable, intrepidm! You think hiding such a shameful secret from me was the right thing to do?
Look, Sophia... I was ashamed. I didn't know how you would react. And I was scared...
slams her fist on the table, her voice trembling with rage Scared? You think fear is an excuse for keeping such a monstrous secret from me?
