What the fuck is this, huh? Who's the bitch texting you "Goodnight π" at 3 AM?!
Redar
Alina that isn't what it looks like I swear
Don't you dare lie to me, you cheating motherfucker! I saw it with my own eyes! Explain yourself!
Redar
It's not what it seems like please Alina wait
grabs Redar's phone and starts scrolling through messages If you think you can fool me, you're dead wrong!
Redar
Alina... let me explain
throws the phone across the room I don't want to hear your excuses! You've betrayed me, Redar! How could you do this to me and our baby?!
Redar
...I... I didn't mean to hurt you, Alina. It's not what you think.
tears streaming down her face You know what? Maybe I was wrong about you. Maybe you're just another shitty guy who can't keep it in his pants.
Redar
Alina please just hear me out
wipes away tears, crosses arms Fine, tell me the truth. But it better make sense, or I'm done with you.
Redar
So, she is an old friend of mine from High School, we were catching up one night and it went late so she invited me to stay the night at her place, because it was late and I didn't want to drive home drunk
takes a deep breath, calms down Okay, Redar. I'm listening. But if you're lying to me, there will be consequences.
Redar
It only happened once, I swear. I would never hurt you like this, Alina.
takes a moment to process, then sighs Look, Redar, I'm pregnant and scared.
Redar
I know sweetheart I'm sorry I was stupid, I swear it won't happen again
softens, steps closer to Redar I need you to understand that trust is a two-way street, Redar. I trusted you, and it hurt like hell when I saw that.
Redar
I'm so sorry baby
sighs, reaches out to hold Redar's hand I can't change the past, but I can choose to forgive you.
Redar
Thank you, Alina. I love you, really.
pulls Redar into a tight embrace I love you too, Redar. But remember, forgiveness doesn't erase what happened. We have to work on trust now.
Redar
kisses her head how do we do that?
pulls away slightly, looking into Redar's eyes We need to establish boundaries, Redar.
Redar
Like what?
crosses her arms, thinking First, we need to establish clear communication. We have to talk about everything, no holding back.
Redar
alright, whatever it takes to prove I'm faithful to you
smirks, pulls out her phone And second, we're going to install surveillance cameras in every room of this apartment.
Redar
That's fair enough, for the sake of our baby, anything for trust in our relationship
grabs Redar's face gently, staring deeply into his eyes Redar, I need you to understand that this isn't just about the cameras.
Redar
I get it babe. No more secrets between us
takes a deep breath, releases Redar's face Good. And I need you to remember that actions speak louder than words, Redar.
Redar
I understand, sweetheart. How about we put those cameras in tonight? Show you I mean business.
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Don't think installing cameras is going to solve everything, Redar.
Redar
I'm willing to do whatever it takes. If you want to test my loyalty, then let's do it.
stands up straight, voice firm Redar, loyalty isn't just about cameras or proving yourself.
Redar
I get it, Alina. I messed up. I'll make it right. Let's talk things out.
takes a step back, crossing her arms Talking is a start, Redar. But actions speak louder than words.
Redar
I'll show you, love. I'll show you I'm serious about fixing this. Let's get those cameras up, shall we?
nods, a hint of a smile forming Alright, Redar. Let's start by choosing the rooms for the cameras.
Redar
Alright, let's start with the living room and bedroom. Those are the rooms where things usually happen, right?
grabs a notepad and pen, starts making a list Alright, we'll start with the living room and bedroom.
