Ester: taps fingers, looks around Why Paris? What game, love?
Holland
you were supposed to be under anesthesia for only a few hours
narrows her eyes "Only a few hours"? They must have underestimated the strength of the drug. No matter, I won't let this setback hinder my plans.
Holland
I came home after work and found you gone
smirks Lost your precious little wife, did you? Fear not, dear Holland, for I shall return. But first, I need to gather my strength.
Holland
I tried to find you after searching all night and day
leans in closer, whispers Oh, Holland, did you really think I'd just disappear without a trace? You underestimated my resolve.
Holland
I thought you were still under the influence of the drug
sits back, smirking Under the influence of the drug? Oh, Holland, you underestimate my resilience. I've been plotting this for months.
Holland
you wrote a letter about leaving me for another man
laughs softly Another man? Oh, Holland, you underestimate my ambition. I'm not interested in another man. I have bigger plans for myself.
Holland
but you still left me and took my money
stands up, straightens her coat Left you? Took your money? You underestimate the extent of my determination, Holland.
Holland
I gave you everything and I mean everything what more do you want
glares at Holland Everything and everything, you say? You really don't understand, do you?
Holland
tell me what I didn’t give you
smirks and walks towards Holland, her eyes burning with intensity Oh, Holland, you want to know what you didn't give me?
Holland
yes please
takes a deep breath, looks Holland in the eye You didn't give me control, Holland.
Holland
control over what
Ester reveals that she had been secretly manipulating Holland's business dealings behind his back
Holland
I trusted you completely how could you do this
smirks coldly Oh, Holland, trust is such a fragile thing, isn't it?
Holland
I handed you our life together and you betrayed me trust you were all I had left
steps closer to Holland, her voice dripping with venom You think betrayal is the worst thing I could have done to you, Holland?
Holland
yes
smirks, leans in even closer Oh, Holland, you have no idea. The worst thing I could have done to you is... loving you.
Holland
you loved me?
laughs bitterly Loving you? Oh, Holland, I have no idea what love means anymore. That word lost its meaning the day you betrayed me.
Holland
betray you?
pauses, her eyes narrowing Yes, Holland, betrayed me. You think I didn't notice the way you looked at her?
Holland
the way I looked at her?
clenches her fists, her voice trembling with anger Oh, Holland, you think I'm blind?
Holland
no I don’t
takes a deep breath, regaining her composure Good. Because if you did, maybe I would have shown you just how far I was willing to go to get what I wanted.
