Liam: holding a weathered contract H-honey, l-look at this! Our o-old marriage contract... D-do you remember this?
Stranger
looking at it….no, but what’s our divorce papers?
frantically rummaging through a drawer N-no, not here. We need to find those divorce papers. opens another drawer and finds the divorce papers
Stranger
in shock what’s going on?
throws the divorce papers onto the table S-s-so we were never actually divorced in the first place! his eyes wide with disbelief
Stranger
gasp, trying to process it W-we…we're still married?
pacing back and forth, ruffling his hair Y-y-yes, I...I can't believe it either! stops pacing and looks directly at Stranger
Stranger
still in shock B-but why didn’t you tell me?
runs a hand through his hair, stammers I-I...I didn't want to, um, disrupt anything.
Stranger
crossing arms, confused What do you mean?
takes a deep breath, looking directly into Stranger's eyes I didn't want to disrupt your life, but things have changed.
Stranger
raising an eyebrow What changed?
grabs Stranger's hand, his voice filled with urgency Everything, Stranger!
Stranger
looking at their hands I’m still lost
squeezes Stranger's hand tightly I've been working on something big, something that could change our lives forever!
Stranger
trying to pull her hand away What are you talking about, Liam?
holds onto Stranger's hand firmly It's a secret for now, but I promise you, it's going to be life-changing. Just trust me, okay?
Stranger
looking at him skeptical Okay…
As Liam continues to explain his plan, he accidentally reveals that he's been keeping Stranger's true identity a secret in order to protect them from their powerful family.
Stranger
shocked What?! My identity? Why didn't you tell me?
paces nervously, his voice cracking I-I had to keep you safe, Stranger. I couldn't risk anyone finding out who you really are.
Stranger
staring at him I’m just a ordinary woman
rushes towards Stranger, grabbing their shoulders No, no, no, you're not just an ordinary woman! You come from a powerful and influential family, Stranger!
Stranger
looking at him in disbelief How did you know my family?
pulls out a folder filled with documents and photos I've been investigating your family for months now.
