Chapter 7 - The Unlikely Alliance

Bride: You have a lot of nerve calling me,

after ruining my wedding,

what do you want?

Maid: I need your help,

he is trying to take my son away,

he filed for full custody.

Bride: That is despicable,

even for him,

he truly has no soul.

Maid: His mother is funding the lawsuit,

they want to destroy me in court,

they want to erase me.

Bride: His mother is a snake,

she always pretended to love me,

but she only loved my father's bank accounts.

Maid: I need you to testify,

I need you to tell the judge about his lies,

about the fake wedding.

Bride: My lawyer advised me to stay quiet,

to distance myself from the scandal,

to let it blow over.

Maid: If you stay quiet,

he wins,

he gets away with everything again.

Bride: I do not care about him anymore,

I just want to move on with my life,

I want to forget him.

Maid: You will never forget him if he destroys another life,

you will always know you could have stopped it,

you could have saved a child.

Bride: That is a heavy burden to put on me,

it is not my child,

it is not my mess.

Maid: But it is our shared trauma,

we were both victims of his cruelty,

we must stand together.

Bride: Let me think about it,

I need to consult my father,

I cannot make this decision alone.

Maid: Please,

do not let them win,

he does not deserve to be a father.

Bride: I will call you tomorrow,

I make no promises,

but I will think about it.

Maid: Thank you,

that is all I ask,

just think about it.

Bride: Goodbye,

and I am sorry about the lawsuit,

it is truly unfair.

Maid: Life is unfair,

but sometimes we can balance the scales,

goodbye.

Bride: Dad,

I need to talk to you,

it is about the trial.

Father: I told you to ignore it,

let the peasants fight their own battles,

we are above this drama.

Bride: We are not above it, Dad,

we are right in the middle of it,

and I want to testify.

Father: Absolutely not,

I forbid it,

you will not drag our name through the mud.

Bride: He dragged our name through the mud,

and I want to be the one to bury him,

I want my revenge.

Father: Revenge is a messy business,

it leaves stains on your soul,

let the lawyers handle it.

Bride: No,
