Elena: twirls a lock of hair Remember that kiss?
Stranger
Silence
steps closer, voice dripping with taunting sarcasm Oh, don't act so shocked, love. You thought you could forget the night your heart shattered into a million pieces?
Stranger
That’s not why it’s complicated…
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, really? Then explain it to me, dear. Why is it so complicated? Was it the kiss?
Stranger
No…
grabs Stranger's collar, pulling them close Don't play games with me, love. I've seen the way you look at me, the way your mind works.
Stranger
You saw how I looked at you…
narrows her eyes, tightening her grip on Stranger's collar Yes, I saw. And I saw the desire in your eyes, the way your body responded to mine.
Stranger
looks away …
leans in, whispering Look at me, love. Look into my eyes and tell me you didn't want it as much as I did. Tell me you didn't crave every touch, every kiss.
Stranger
looks back at her It’s what happened after that I didn’t like…
releases Stranger's collar, stepping back Ah, the aftermath. The ugly reality that ruined the fantasy, huh? Well, let me tell you something, love.
Stranger
look surprised
smirks, crossing her arms The aftermath can be just as thrilling as the moment itself. It's all about how we handle it, how we rise above the chaos.
Stranger
So what are you proposing?
smirks, playing with her hair Oh, darling, I'm not proposing anything. I'm simply suggesting that we rewrite the ending of our story together.
Stranger
Why would I want to do that?
Elena reveals a hidden agenda, a plan to seek revenge against the one who betrayed Stranger, setting off a chain of events that will change both of their lives forever.
Stranger
What do you mean by that?
smirks, eyes glinting with mischief Oh, my dear Stranger, I mean that it's time to turn the tables.
Stranger
How exactly?
whispers, leaning in close We're going to dismantle their empire piece by piece, exposing their secrets and watching them crumble.
Stranger
swallows hard And how do we start?
grabs Stranger's hand, pulling them towards a nearby computer We start by gathering information, my love.
Stranger
hesitates What makes you think you can trust me?
smirks, turning the laptop screen towards Stranger Let me show you something, my love. points at the screen
Stranger
surprised What the hell is this?
smirking My dear Stranger, this is the beginning of our journey. This is the evidence that will fuel our revenge.
Stranger
shocked How did you get your hands on this?
winks, leaning in closer Let's just say I have my ways, my love. I've got connections that can get us whatever we need.
Stranger
Connections…
smirks, raising an eyebrow Oh, my dear Stranger, I have connections all over the city.
Stranger
smirks And what exactly are these connections?
leans back, crossing her arms Oh, my dear Stranger, I have connections in the most unexpected places.
Stranger
Do you work for the government or some shady shit…
laughs softly, shaking her head Oh, my dear Stranger, I don't work for anyone.
Stranger
So if you don’t work for anyone, then how do you get things done?
leans forward, locking eyes with Stranger Oh, my dear Stranger, I have allies.
