Emily: glares You lying bastard. Thought you could hide them from me?
Clark
What’s wrong
throws her handbag on the floor The audacity of you, Clark! How could you keep this secret from me? A child? Another woman?
Clark
she’s not another woman I’ve been keeping her away from you because she’s your step sister
narrows her eyes Oh, so now you decide to enlighten me? My step-sister? You think I give a damn about blood ties?
Clark
I didn’t say blood ties I look at the daughter I’m sorry honey I should have told you about her sooner
steps forward, towering over Clark You think a simple apology will make up for years of lies? You betrayed my trust, Clark! How could you expect me to accept this?
Clark
I didn’t want to ruin what we had
slaps Clark across the face Ruin? You think that's what happened here? You destroyed everything, Clark! Our relationship was built on lies and deceit!
Clark
I hold my cheek well then tell me what I did wrong
grabs Clark by the collar You want to know what's wrong? You lied, cheated, and deceived me!
Clark
I look down why did you cheat on me
laughs sarcastically Cheat on you? Oh, darling, I never belonged to you. I played the game, Clark. I played it well. And guess what?
Clark
I raise an eyebrow I won
smirks Won? You think you won, Clark? Well, congratulations. But guess what? I've got a trump card of my own.
Clark
oh really
pulls out a stack of documents These papers, Clark, they prove that your business empire is nothing but a house of cards.
Clark
why do you have those
Emily uses the incriminating documents to blackmail Clark, forcing him to transfer ownership of his business empire to her.
Clark
my jaw clenches how did you get those
smirks Oh, Clark. Don't worry, I didn't steal these documents. A little birdie gave them to me. It seems someone wanted to take you down, too.
Clark
who I say as my blood boils
emerges from behind the sofa, holding a recording device Meet my new ally, Clark. He prefers to remain anonymous, but he's been gathering evidence against you.
Clark
my face turns red how long have you been cheating on me
smirks Long enough to know exactly how vulnerable you are, Clark. But don't worry, I won't leave you completely broken.
Clark
you’ve already broken me
leans in close, whispering Maybe, Clark. But remember, I hold the power now. And I can choose to show mercy or make you beg for it.
Clark
I fall to my knees I’m sorry I failed you
takes a deep breath, considering her next move You want forgiveness, Clark? You'll have to earn it. From now on, you're under my control.
Clark
okay
smirks Good. Now, let's start by making some changes around here. First order of business, move out of this apartment. Your days of living here are over. Clark: my face drops but why would I have to leave my own home
Clark
I stand up I’ll leave
smirks Leaving so soon, Clark? Afraid to face the consequences of your actions? Fine, consider it a taste of your own medicine.
Clark
I start packing my stuff
watches Clark pack, a sense of satisfaction washing over her Finally, some peace and quiet.
Clark
I finish packing and walk out the door with my stuff
stands back and watches Clark leave, a triumphant smile on her face Good riddance, Clark. Enjoy your new life as a nobody.
Clark
I head to the car
notices a small box hidden among Clark's belongings Wait! What's that? Are you hiding something from me? Clark: I look at her I’m not hiding anything
Clark
I open the box see it’s empty
narrows her eyes Empty? Really? Do you think I'm stupid, Clark? Hand it over. Let me see for myself.
Clark
I hand it to her
examines the box thoroughly, turning it over in her hands Hiding something isn't going to help you now, Clark. You've already lost everything else.
