Elena: Tapping fingers C-can you believe it? My... my whole life was a lie.
Zinewist
what are you talking about?
takes a deep breath I discovered that I'm not my parents' biological daughter. I'm actually...your wife.
Zinewist
you mean your mom cheated?
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Yes, mi amor. My mother had an affair with...with my biological father. And guess who that was?
Zinewist
me.
pauses, takes a moment to compose herself You...you were the result of their illicit relationship.
Zinewist
So mom left you with your dad because of me.
stands up abruptly No, Zinewist! Don't you dare take the blame for their actions! They did this to themselves, not you.
Zinewist
you're angry at me for being born
voice trembling with frustration No, Zinewist! I am not angry at you for being born! I am angry at the betrayal, the lies, the deception!
Zinewist
I didn't lie to anyone.
throws a vase against the wall You may not have lied, but you are the product of their deceit!
Zinewist
i am not the product of our parents love
clenches her fists, voice filled with venom You think love is an excuse for what they did? Love doesn't justify betrayal, Zinewist!
Zinewist
you're saying my life is a mistake.
runs her fingers through her hair, speaking quickly No, Zinewist! I never said your life was a mistake! Your life may have been a consequence of their actions, but that doesn't mean you're a mistake!
Zinewist
he walks away
Zinewist storms out of the room, feeling rejected and unwanted by Elena
Zinewist
later that night he comes home
rushes over to Zinewist, tears streaming down her face Zinewist, please... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to push you away.
