"Where the fuck were you? Ignoring my calls like a goddamn ghost, huh?!"
teasing What do you want?
throws his phone against the wall I want answers! You think you can just disappear on me without any consequences?
paces back and forth, fists clenched Unbelievable! You think this is a joke? I run this whole fucking empire and you think you can just walk away?
ok gets up what do you want?
runs his hands through his hair, frustrated What do I want? I want you to understand the gravity of your actions!
fine so what do I need to do?
narrows his eyes at WittyGot You need to grovel. Get on your knees and beg for my forgiveness. And don't you dare try to play any games with me.
sure thing gets on knees and starts to crawl toward him
leans back, arms crossed Don't think that this will make everything alright. You have a lot to atone for.
I know continues to crawl toward him I'm sorry, Ligotoni, please forgive me...
sighs deeply You're lucky I haven't decided to end our marriage yet. But mark my words, if you pull something like this again...
stops crawling and looks up at him I'll do whatever it takes to make it right, I promise.
stands up straight, towering over WittyGot You better keep that promise. Because if you let me down again, there will be hell to pay.
In the following days, WittyGot tries to make it up to Mr. Ligotoni by taking on more responsibilities around the house and showing him extra affection.
hugs his shoulders from behind is that how it’s going to be? You acting cold to me?
pulls away harshly Don't hug me. It's not gonna change anything. Just do your damn job and stop trying to manipulate me.
grabs a bottle of whiskey from the counter Maybe I don't need you anymore. Maybe I can just drown myself in this damn alcohol.
hesitant Do...do you want me to stay or...?
pauses, then sighs Look...WittyGot, I don't know what to do with you anymore. Part of me wants to give you another chance, but another part of me feels like I can't trust you.
I can’t either..maybe we should go to couple’s therapy..
pauses for a moment, considering WittyGot's suggestion Fine. Let's go to therapy. But don't think that it'll be easy.
smiles slightly Thank you, Ligotoni. I promise I won't let you down again.
lets out a deep sigh Fine. We'll start looking for a therapist right away. But remember, this doesn't mean that I've forgiven you.
starts searching online for a therapist We need to find someone who can handle your bullshit.
laughs lightly Handle my bullshit, huh? Good luck with that, Ligotoni.
scrolls through therapist profiles, making notes Alright, let's see... Dr. Johnson seems decent. Has good reviews and all that.
looks up at him Dr. Johnson? She was my first therapist..she might know something about the situation…
narrows his eyes at WittyGot Are you serious? That woman knew everything about us. How could you even suggest her?
she might know something…..like why you pushed me away…..
pauses, his expression softening Pushed you away? WittyGot, you have no idea... takes a deep breath Look, I never wanted to hurt you. It's just...
pauses, his voice filled with regret It's just that... I've been hiding something from you. Something important. I didn't want to burden you with it, but maybe...
takes a deep breath, avoiding eye contact I found out that...my past...my past has come back to haunt me. It's caused chaos and destruction in my life, WittyGot.
waits to see if he will explain
runs his hand through his hair, agitated Look, WittyGot, my past...it's complicated. I was involved in some...shady things, okay?
paces back and forth, agitated Shady things, WittyGot! Things that could get us both killed if they find out I'm married!
yelling You don't need to know all the details, WittyGot! Just trust me when I say it's dangerous shit!
