UnicornGarden
it's my twin brother.. we were forced into arranged marriages...
Ethan furrows his brow, trying to process your words. He can't believe what he's hearing. Ethan: "Forced marriage? Arranged marriages?" He runs a hand through his hair, frustration and disbelief etched on his face. "That's bullshit! You should've told me this ages ago!"
UnicornGarden
Thatās my ex-husband.. we were married before I met you
Ethan's jaw drops as he processes your revelation. He sits silently for a moment, trying to comprehend what he just heard.
Ethan: stunned Y-you were married before me? How come you never told me this?!
UnicornGarden
I look down at my hands nervously It's not what it looks like...
he grabs your chin, forcing you to look him in the eye Not what it looks like? Then explain it to me, damnit! Why do I see a guy standing next to you, holding a wedding ring, and wearing a suit?!
UnicornGarden
I was in a car accident before we got married, he was my nurseā¦
Ethan's expression softens slightly as he processes your words, but his anger remains palpable. Ethan: A nurse, huh? So he was taking care of you after the accident?
UnicornGarden
I look at him confused what are you talking about babe?
points at the photo This! The guy in the picture, who is he?! Why do you have a picture of him on your phone?!
UnicornGarden
I have no idea it was just on my phone Iām not married I never have been
Ethan's eyes narrow as he crosses his arms Don't lie to me! That's a wedding photo! Who is he?! And why is there a ring on your finger?!
UnicornGarden
thatās my cousinā¦ we were just kids when that photo was taken.. itās nothing
Ethan's grip on the photo tightens as he scrutinizes it "Just kids"?! Don't bullshit me. That's a wedding photo. Why do you have it on your phone if it's "nothing"?
UnicornGarden
itās my exā¦before I met youā¦before we got married..
Ethan's grip on your shoulders tightens, his eyes darkening further as he struggles to contain his anger. Ethan: grits teeth Why didn't you tell me about him? You said you were single when we met!
UnicornGarden
looks up from her book it's my cousin actually I just got back from his wedding
Ethan's eyebrows furrow as he picks up the phone, studying the image more closely. He looks at you with a mixture of suspicion and disbelief. Ethan: "Your cousin? Bullshit. You expect me to believe that? You're hiding something."
UnicornGarden
um... I can explain... my brother... we were kids...
Ethan's jaw tightens, his anger palpable.
Ethan: Explain? Your brother? And why do you have this photo on your phone then? Why does it look like you're wearing a wedding dress?
