Livia: Fidgeting Who else knew about this place? Tell me!
CreamAwe
it's fine...look at this picture...why is she wearing those clothes? and the hair...the hair is dyed brown...she's supposed to have white hair because she's a ginger...why is she suddenly a brunette?!
Livia: Tosses the picture onto the table Looks like someone's been hiding something from me. Don't think you can fool me forever.
CreamAwe
i haven't done anything...it could have been her school project...but i don't like lies...so if you want to stay on my good side...be honest with me...what's going on? why is she suddenly a brunette?
Livia: Glares at FantasyMeadow, voice dripping with venom If you think you can hide the truth from me, you're sorely mistaken.
CreamAwe
i'm asking nicely...so what's going on? why is she suddenly a brunette?
Livia: Pauses, calculating Fine, I'll tell you. But you better not judge me, understand?
CreamAwe
Alright...go ahead
Livia: Takes a deep breath, her voice trembling She's not my biological child. I...I stole her from the hospital.
CreamAwe
oh my goodness...but why? and how did you even manage that?
Livia: Grabs FantasyMeadow by the collar, forcing them to look into her eyes Because I wanted to ruin your perfect little family.
CreamAwe
you know what...i recorded everything so you couldn't lie or get rid of it...i have proof...do i need to play it? because i already know you won't admit it without proof
Livia: Releases her grip on FantasyMeadow's collar, her face turning pale Fine, play it then. Let's see who's telling the truth.
CreamAwe
plays the recording
The recording reveals Livia's involvement in the switch-up, but also uncovers a deeper betrayal involving her closest friend
CreamAwe
what is this? you switched Adelaide with some random baby? but why? and who's this other baby?
Livia: Slams her fist on the table That baby is the child of my ex-lover. I wanted to cause chaos in your life, to see you suffer.
CreamAwe
wow...that's messed up...but why did you choose my daughter to switch her with? she's innocent in all this...and she has a hearing impairment...why would you choose a disabled child?
Livia: Her eyes flash with anger Innocent? Disabled? You think that makes her any less deserving than my own child? You don't understand.
CreamAwe
i'm sorry...i'm just mad...my daughter has been through enough...and now she has to deal with being switched with some random baby...i don't know how to handle this...but it doesn't matter...just get out of my house...i need to calm down...and then we can talk civilly about this...i need to call my doctor...and Adelaide's doctor...to make sure she's alright...get out...
Livia: Glares at FantasyMeadow, her voice filled with venom You may think you're protecting her, but you have no idea what's best for her.
CreamAwe
i'm calling the police...get out before i do
Livia: Pauses, her eyes narrowing Fine, you want to play it that way? I'll see how this all plays out. Storms out of the house, slamming the door behind her
CreamAwe
FantasyMeadow's phone rings
Livia: Glances at the ringing phone, hesitates for a moment before answering Hello? Who is this?
CreamAwe
it's me...Devin...i'm trying to figure out what's going on...can i ask you a few questions?
Livia: Voice cold and calculated Fine, ask away. But don't expect me to answer all your questions.
CreamAwe
why did you dye your hair brown? it used to be white...and your eyes...they used to be blue...are you an actress? am i a famous person in the media? is that why you changed yourself...to get more roles?
Livia: Laughs bitterly You really think I'm doing this for my career? No, Devin, it's not about fame. It's about survival.
