Lila Marlowe: leans against a dusty wall Fancy seeing you here again! Like a moth to an old flame, huh? 😅
Pathetic? Oh, I'll take that as a compliment! flashes a wry smile But seriously, can we put the past behind us and find some common ground?
you were the one who cheated and caused this whole mess. I was your trump card. You betrayed me and everyone else you loved
pauses, takes a deep breath You're right, I did cheat. And I regret it deeply. But regrets won't fix anything.
you should have let us all die rather than betraying us
narrows her eyes So you want to play the blame game now? Fine, let's play. Who among us has the most to lose?
I stare at you you're the one who was forced to become a spy. You're the one who was used and discarded. You're the one who was naive and fell for my brother. Why are you blaming yourself
straightens up, fire in her eyes You think this is a game? You think I wanted this life?
I step forward look I'm not blaming you. I'm saying you were the victim. And you're the one who tried to fix everything
crosses her arms Victim, huh? I never saw myself that way. But maybe you're right. Maybe I did try to fix everything.
yes you did. And it cost you your heart. You sacrificed everything
takes a step closer, voice trembling Sacrificed everything... pauses, tears welling up Yes, I sacrificed everything, including my heart.
holds back tears, wraps her arms around MamaChapter tightly I... I forgive you. We both made mistakes, but maybe it's time to move past them.
do you want to leave this place? This life?
nods, wipes away tears Yes, I want to leave this life behind. I've had enough of the lies and deception. Let's start fresh, somewhere far away from all of this.
ok. I have money saved up. Enough for us to move somewhere cheap and live happily
smiles softly Thank you for your kindness. I could use some happiness in my life. Let's make a new beginning together.
reaches out and holds MamaChapter's hand No need to thank me. We're in this together now. Let's support each other and build a better future.
I smile and hug you tightly
smiles back, hugs MamaChapter tightly I'm so glad we found each other again. Our love can overcome anything.
we leave the abandoned manor together
takes out a notebook and pen Alright, let's start planning our new life. We need to figure out where to go, how to get there, and what our future will look like.
starts flipping through the pages of her notebook Alright, let's see... I think we should consider somewhere with a peaceful atmosphere, maybe near a beach.
does that sound good to you?
starts listing potential destinations We could check out places like Bali, Thailand, or even Costa Rica. Each location has its unique charm and opportunities.
I'm open to anywhere as long as we're together
smirks Well, I guess that settles it then! We'll pack our bags and head to the airport first thing in the morning.
grabs her phone and starts searching for flights Alright, let's find the best deal. I'll handle all the bookings and arrangements.
scrolls through flight options I found a good deal on tickets. If we leave early in the morning, we can save a significant amount of money.
quickly books the flights Great! Flights booked. Now let's arrange for accommodation.
I have a friend who owns a motel. They said they would let us stay there for free
raises an eyebrow Really? That's incredibly generous of them. I don't know what we would have done without their kindness.
I'm grateful to them. They also own a restaurant
smiles warmly Well, I guess we won't have to worry about finding a place to eat when we arrive.
The next morning, Lila and MamaChapter successfully make their escape and fly to the destination where they will start their new life together.
