Liam: grinning Yo! Check dis place out, huh? Swanky AF, right?
Stranger
Why did you marry my dad?
raises an eyebrow Well, ain't you a feisty one? Look, I didn't marry your dad because I wanted to.
Stranger
Why did you then?
leans back, smirking Alright, fine. You wanna know why I did it? I'll tell ya.
Stranger
That’s why I’m here.
pauses, looking at Stranger with a mix of anger and regret I married your dad because he promised me something big.
Stranger
What?
stands up abruptly, pacing the room He promised me control, power, and wealth beyond my wildest dreams.
Stranger
Over my dead body.
stops pacing, smirks devilishly Well, lucky for you, sweetheart, I don't intend to let anyone die. Not even you.
Stranger
rolls eyes Control, power, and wealth, huh? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. And here I thought I was the explosive one in this messed up family.
laughs, a dangerous glint in his eyes Explosive? That's an understatement, babe. But let me tell you, I've got a plan.
Stranger
What is it?
leans in close, whispering We're gonna take everything from him. Every single penny. And then, baby, we'll be the ones calling the shots.
Stranger
Do you know about his mistress?
nods, smirking Yeah, I know about her alright. She's part of our little twisted family drama.
Stranger
Oh.
grabs Stranger's hand, leading them towards the door Let's go for a little ride. There's someone I want you to meet.
Stranger
Who?
smirks, opens the door You'll see soon enough. Just sit back and enjoy the ride, darling.
Stranger
Okay.
gets behind the wheel, revving the engine Buckle up, babe. This ain't your typical family outing.
Stranger
Sure thing.
zooms out of the villa, speeding down the road, leaving a trail of dust behind Wooohoo! Hold on tight, sweetheart!
Stranger
Ok.
As they speed away, an accident occurs, leaving Stranger severely injured and Liam unconscious
Stranger
Liam…
wakes up in the hospital, groggy and confused Where... where am I? And who are you?
Stranger
You’re in the hospital…. I brought you here
looks around, realization dawning on his face Shit... what happened? How bad am I hurt?
Stranger
Your leg is broken.
winces in pain, clenching his fists Damn it... How long have I been out?
Stranger
About a week.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself A week... fuck. And you are...?
Stranger
I hold up my wedding ring your wife
pauses, staring at the ring Wife, huh? Well, looks like we're officially tied down now, aren't we? laughs bitterly
Stranger
yeah.
sighs heavily, looking determined Well, Mrs. Wife, looks like we better start making some plans.
Stranger
oh okay
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones First things first, we need to get out of this hospital.
Stranger
Oh okay.
pulls out a hidden phone from his pocket I've got a few contacts who owe me a favor. They might be able to help us disappear.
Stranger
I-I can help you disappear. I’ve done it before.
glances at Stranger, a glimmer of trust in his eyes Really? Well, that could come in handy. Tell me how you've done it before.
