Linda: pouring coffee Another cup for the bigamist king?
TigerCascade
no thanks
Oh, you always know how to make me feel appreciated, don't you? rolls her eyes dramatically
TigerCascade
i'm not bigamist king, i'm also not your husband
slams the coffee cup on the table You think this is funny, don't you? Mocking me like some kind of joke! Well, let me tell you something, TigerCascade.
TigerCascade
Look, Linda, why can't you just leave me alone?
leans in close, voice dripping with venom Because you had me in the first place! You made me this way, TigerCascade.
TigerCascade
What are you talking about?
sits back, crossing her arms You know exactly what I'm talking about. You manipulated me, used me for your own gain. And now you expect me to just walk away?
TigerCascade
You're delusional, Linda. I've never done anything to manipulate you.
laughs bitterly Oh, please. Don't act like you don't know.
TigerCascade
I really don't understand what you're saying.
stands up abruptly, knocking over the chair Fine, you want to play dumb? Let's play dumb then!
TigerCascade
swallows hard, taking a step back Alright, Linda. Go ahead. Explain it.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Fine, TigerCascade. If you want me to spell it out, I'll spell it out.
TigerCascade
Okay, fine. Let's hear it.
paces back and forth, her voice growing more intense You remember that night, don't you? The night we met. That fancy restaurant, the posh atmosphere.
TigerCascade
Yeah, I remember. We met for dinner, and you seemed a bit nervous.
Nervous? I was more than just nervous, TigerCascade! I was terrified! I had no idea what I was getting myself into. But you didn't care, did you? You just wanted your perfect little trophy wife. smirks Well, congratulations, you got me. You got the trophy wife. But guess what? I'm not your property anymore. I'm done being your puppet.
TigerCascade
Stares at Linda, speechless for a moment
Linda storms out of the room, leaving TigerCascade alone with his thoughts
TigerCascade
Linda, wait!
stops in her tracks, turning around with fiery eyes Wait for what? Are you going to try to apologize to me now? Save your breath, TigerCascade. It's too late for apologies.
TigerCascade
Leaning against the wall, he sighs Fine, Linda. If you want to leave, go ahead. But don't think you're walking out on me without consequences.
smirks, leaning in close to TigerCascade Consequences? Oh, I'm counting on them. You think you can threaten me? laughs mockingly
TigerCascade
Takes a step closer to Linda, his expression darkening You have no idea what I'm capable of, Linda. Don't test me.
Raises an eyebrow, unfazed by TigerCascade's intimidation Oh, I know what you're capable of, TigerCascade. And frankly, I'm not impressed. smirks You think you're some kind of big shot, don't you? Well, newsflash, buddy - you're nothing but a small fish in a big pond.
TigerCascade
Grabs Linda's arm tightly Big shot or small fish, it doesn't matter. I won't let you walk away from this.
Pulls her arm free from TigerCascade's grip, glaring at him You think you can control me? Think again, TigerCascade.
