Paul: sighs Well, this is awkward! So, about the whole mess with my brother... can we talk?
Hestanee
smirks Oh, yeah, Mister Impulsive. What could possibly go wrong?
Paul: takes a step closer, his voice earnest Look, I know it's messed up that he slept with your wife. But we need to talk about how we move forward.
Hestanee
laughs bitterly Move forward? That's rich, Paul. What's your brilliant plan then?
Paul: pauses, thinking Alright, listen up. We need to figure out how to make this right. First, we need to understand why it happened in the first place.
Hestanee
leans back, crossing her arms Oh, I understand perfectly, Paul. It happened because your brother is a goddamn creep!
Paul: narrows his eyes Hey, don't go throwing accusations around, Hestanee. My brother may be a lot of things, but a creep isn't one of them.
Hestanee
smiles sarcastically And what would you know about what's true and not, Paul? You were probably too busy fishing and strumming your guitar to notice.
Paul: pulls out his phone, showing Hestanee a video You think I'm just going to sit here and take your accusations? No way.
Hestanee
watching the video, her eyes widening Damn... I didn't see this side of you, Paul.
Paul: smirks That's right, Hestanee. I may be a lot of things, but I'm not going to let anyone shit on my family without proof. Now, watch this.
Hestanee
raising an eyebrow Alright, Paul. Show me what you got.
Paul: scrolls through his phone Alright, check this out. shows Hestanee a video of her husband admitting to having an affair
Hestanee
eyes widened, voice trembling What...what is this, Paul?
Paul: grinning triumphantly Exactly what you think it is, Hestanee. Your husband can't hide his infidelity anymore. We've got the proof we need to expose him.
Hestanee
stammering I...I can't believe this...Paul, how did you...?
Paul: smirking I told you, Hestanee. I'm not one to back down from a challenge. puts his phone away
Hestanee
clenching her fists Fuck...Paul. What do we do now?
Hestanee and Paul decide to confront her husband and demand the truth about his infidelity
Hestanee
voice trembling with anger We're not backing down, Paul. Let's confront him together.
Paul: smirking confidently Hell yeah, Hestanee. We're gonna cut through all the bullshit and get to the bottom of this.
Hestanee
grabs Paul's arm Together, then. But...be careful, Paul. This man won't go down without a fight.
Paul: cracks his knuckles Bring it on, Hestanee. I've dealt with worse than some cheating husband. We're gonna make him regret ever crossing us.
Hestanee
frowning Just remember, Paul...this isn't just about us. It's about our families, our reputations...
Paul: puts a hand on Hestanee's shoulder Don't worry, Hestanee. We'll handle this situation like pros.
Hestanee
whispers And what exactly do you propose we do, Paul? Confront him? Sue him?
Paul: leans in, speaking in a low, confident tone None of the above, Hestanee. We're going to hit him where it hurts - his business.
Hestanee
raising an eyebrow Your idea...it better be good, Paul.
Paul: grins mischievously Oh, don't worry, Hestanee. This is a trick I've been saving for just the right moment.
Hestanee
nods slowly Alright, Paul. I'm listening.
Paul: pulls out a stack of documents See, Hestanee, I've done some digging of my own. Turns out, your husband's company has been involved in some shady dealings.
Hestanee
gasps
Paul: waves the documents in front of Hestanee's face Take a look at these, sweetheart. It's all the evidence we need to expose his dirty secrets.
Hestanee
groan....
Paul: grinning smugly Look at you, Hestanee. From shock to action, you're turning into quite the detective. Next step, we need to gather more information.
Hestanee
whispers Paul...do you think we can really bring him down?
Paul: leans in closer, speaking in a hushed yet confident tone Hestanee, I've got a plan.
