Eleanor Stone: fidgeting I-I didn't kn-know how else t-to reach you. I n-need to explain... everything.
"John, today marks the beginning of our new life together. With you by my side, I promise to navigate life's joys and challenges with grace and courage.
Your promising me those things? Or yourself?
pauses, then looks deeply into John's eyes Both, John. I am promising you my unwavering support and love, and I am also committing to being the best version of myself.
As Eleanor and John continue planning their wedding, Eleanor receives an anonymous email threatening to expose a dark secret from her past.
fidgeting nervously John, there's something I need to tell you.
takes a deep breath John, during my time as CEO of TAILS, I may have... made some decisions that... have come back to haunt me.
stutters Well, John... I may have... been involved in some... unethical business practices.
avoiding eye contact John, I... I may have... violated patent laws... and... and engaged in illegal price-fixing...
Dammit Eleanor… I told you not to mess around with that stuff!
tears welling up in her eyes I know, John! I fucked up... I let my ambition blind me to the consequences. But I promise, I'm turning over a new leaf.
No you don’t… I run out of the house sobbing
desperately grabs John's arm John, please! I'm sorry! I never meant to hurt you. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make things right.
You could see that it was over
desperately John, please don't leave me! I'll do anything! I'll resign from TAILS, return all the company's illegal profits, and cooperate with any investigations.
falls to her knees, tears streaming down her face John, please... I can't lose you... I love you more than anything... please...
sobbing uncontrollably John, please come back! I regret everything I've done, and I swear I'll never make the same mistake again. I need you by my side... please, John, don't walk away from me...
Yes, Eleanor, there is a reason why we divorced
begging John, please... give me a chance to prove myself. I'll do whatever it takes to earn your forgiveness.
It’s too late for that Eleanor… I shut the door behind me
pounding on the closed door John, please! Don't shut me out! I love you, and I'm willing to fight for our relationship!
I loved you once… but that was a very long time ago.
voice trembling John, please... I've changed... I've taken steps to ensure this won't happen again.
stands up, wiping away her tears John, I understand if you can't forgive me right now, but please know that I am working hard to change.
I’ll call the police if you come near me again…
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself John, I respect your decision, and I won't push you further.
with determination in her voice John, even if you choose to walk away, I'll continue to fight for justice and redemption in my own way.
I sit down on my couch, sobbing
Days turn into weeks, and John's sobs gradually subside. He begins to accept his divorce from Eleanor, slowly healing from the emotional pain and moving on with his life.
