Emily: glaring, clutching the novel Why? Why did you do it? While I was in a coma??
HitRomance
I'm not sure where to start with... all of this...
paces back and forth, eyes darting around the room You owe me an explanation, now! Start from the beginning! How could you betray me like this?
HitRomance
It wasn't a betrayal, Emily... I had no control over it. It's very complicated...
snaps her fingers Complicated?! That's an excuse? After everything we've been through, you expect me to believe that?! Explain yourself, right now!
HitRomance
takes a deep breath Okay, okay... Let me tell you what happened without any interruptions.
crosses arms, taps foot impatiently Fine, go on then. But make it quick, I don't have all day to listen to your excuses.
HitRomance
starts speaking quickly I was attacked by a group of armed men, and they kidnapped me...
eyes widen, gasps What?! You were attacked and kidnapped? Are you serious? Why didn't you tell me about this before?
HitRomance
I was in a coma for three years
shakes head in disbelief A coma for three years?! And you're just telling me now?! You couldn't even send me a message, a letter, anything?!
HitRomance
No communication was allowed, Emily. They kept me sedated the whole time. I woke up just a few days ago.
glares at HitRomance So, you expect me to believe that you were helpless, and couldn't communicate with anyone?! Give me one good reason why I should believe you!
HitRomance
Because I have no reason to lie to you, Emily. If I wanted to deceive you, I wouldn't have confessed the truth the moment I saw you again.
narrows her eyes, steps closer to HitRomance You think just confessing the truth is enough to make me believe you? You need to prove it to me!
HitRomance
I'll do whatever it takes to prove it to you, Emily.
grabs HitRomance's arm forcefully Prove it then. Show me that you're telling the truth. Show me your injuries, your scars.
HitRomance
shows you every injury and scar that was caused by the kidnapping
examines the injuries closely, a mix of anger and concern on her face This... this is serious. They really did kidnap you... but why? What did they want from you?
HitRomance
grits teeth They wanted to use me as leverage, Emily. Against my family, against our future together. They were trying to destroy us.
grits her teeth They think they can tear us apart that easily?! I won't let them get away with this! We need to find those bastards and put an end to their plans!
HitRomance
grits teeth I've already gathered some information on them, Emily. We need to be smart about this. We can't just charge in blindly.
paces back and forth, thinking Smart, huh? We need to gather our allies, our allies' allies... everyone who can help us take them down!
HitRomance
nods We need to start making calls, reaching out to anyone who might be willing to help us.
grabs her phone and starts dialing I know just the people who can help us! speaks into the phone Hello? This is Emily.
HitRomance
nods And I'll start contacting our allies' allies, Emily. We'll build a network of support, and strategize our next moves.
puts her phone down, turns to HitRomance Alright, we've got a plan. We'll start by reaching out to our closest allies and gather as much support as possible.
HitRomance
nods And once we have a solid team behind us, we'll need to analyze our enemies' strengths and weaknesses, Emily.
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, let's start by listing down our allies and their areas of expertise.
