Eve: whispers Why'd you do it? With her? sighs heavily
Douglas
It’s complicated…
Complicated? Is that your excuse? Look, I don't care how "complicated" things got, but you cheated on me, with her! points accusingly at the other woman
Douglas
I’m sorry I didn’t want to hurt you.
Sorry? Sorry doesn't cut it, Douglas! You think saying sorry is enough to fix this mess? crosses arms How could you do this to me? To us?
Douglas
you’re not a child…you knew I would eventually start dating other people…that’s life.
voice trembling with anger Life? Life is about choices, Douglas. And you made a choice to betray me. takes a step back, tears welling up in her eyes
Douglas
Look, just leave, Eve. It's better for you to go, be with someone else.
takes a deep breath, wiping away her tears You think I'm just gonna walk away from all of this? You think I'm gonna let you sweep this under the rug? laughs bitterly No, Douglas.
Douglas
what do you mean?
narrows her eyes I mean, I'm not gonna let this slide. I'm gonna make sure everyone knows what a lying, heartless cheater you are!
Douglas
fine, we’ll get divorced then.
smirks, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, you want a divorce? Well, lucky for you, I'm not just gonna walk away without getting anything in return.
Douglas
what do you want?
grinning devilishly I want you to publicly apologize to me. And not just any apology, Douglas.
Douglas
alright.
leans in closer, her voice filled with determination I want you to publicly apologize to me on social media.
Douglas
fine.
pulls out her phone and opens up the social media app Alright, Douglas. We're doing this right now. starts typing furiously
Douglas
types I’m so sorry, Eve. I really did love you…
Eve posts the public apology on her social media account, causing it to go viral and sparking a heated debate among her followers
Douglas
I start crying
watches Douglas cry, smirking triumphantly Well, well, Douglas. Look at you now, crying over your ruined reputation. crosses her arms and leans back confidently
Douglas
what?
rolls her eyes Oh, don't act like you don't deserve it, Douglas. Your tears are just a drop in the ocean of the pain you've caused me. snaps her fingers
Douglas
no…just stop please.
Stop? You think you can just brush this off with a simple "sorry"? laughs mockingly Well, guess what, Douglas?
Douglas
what?
leans in close, her voice low and dangerous This isn't over, Douglas. Oh no.
Douglas
okay.
grabs Douglas' collar, pulling him in close You're going to face the consequences of your actions, Douglas.
Douglas
alright.
Alright? Just "alright"? releases his collar and steps back, her voice dripping with venom You think you can just brush this off so easily?
Douglas
looks down
grabs Douglas by the chin, forcing him to look into her eyes Look at me, Douglas. Look into my eyes and tell me you don't feel a thing. Tell me you don't regret what you've done.
Douglas
stutters I…I…I do regret it, Eve.
sighs heavily, her voice laced with a hint of sadness Regret...finally. Took you long enough, didn't it?
Douglas
looks down
softens her tone, speaking gently You know, Douglas, I used to believe in us. I thought we were something special.
Douglas
I’m so sorry, Eve.
As Eve and Douglas continue to confront each other, Douglas reveals that he cheated on Eve because he was pressured by his co-star and lost a bet
Douglas
I lost a bet with my co-star, Eve. She told me to cheat on you, and I did.
narrows her eyes, her voice dripping with disbelief You expect me to believe that? That some co-star coerced you into cheating on me?
