~ONE~
The sound of a table smashing haunts the entire room as soon as Rhys throws Irina against the glass center table sitting in the room
Irina screams her lung out in anger and pain
Irina
You cannot be the man I fell in love and got married to. All these years, I have been so stupid, and you have fooled me so easily pretending to be my long-lost husband. Tell me, who the hell are you?!
Rhys
Really? So sure eh? Looks like somebody's memories came back!
Rhys smirked from the corner of his lips and steps closer to Irina, who was clearly seen bleeding from the corner of her lips now.
Irina
TELL ME THE TRUTH DAMN IT!
Rhys
*chuckles* You're right. I'm not the man you fell in love with. I was never the man you can fall in love with.
Even though Rhys said it while laughing, his expressions when he said those words conveyed the opposite.
Irina
*backing away* So then, who ARE you? Where is my h-husband?
Rhys looked at her and laughed in a twisted way. Hearing her calling someone else as her husband sure hurt him but it looked like he was used to of this.
Rhys
Shawn? Oh yeah. I killed him.
Irina gasped for some air as her eyes went huge. She couldn't believe it was so easy for this man to kill and tell.
She couldn't believe how familiar this name sounded to her. Shawn Jenkins. Her torn distorted memories had this name embarked on them.
Rhys
See? No matter how hard I tried, it was only his name that rests in your heart. Just like before. No matter how the fxck harder I tried, it was always him, it's always Shawn!
Rhys stepped closer to Irina as she kept backing away. Finally her back met up with the wall and Rhys took a seat right before her on the floor
Irina
You were obsessed with me, and when you could not get me to love you back you KILLED my husband?!
Irina asked him unbelievably. Rhys scoffed and reached out his thumb to wipe off the blood from the corner of her lips and then said
Rhys
It's a little more complicated than that but in short, yes!
Tears rolled down Irina's cheeks as she started to find it difficult to breath suddenly. The only thing that bothered her right now was she could barely even remember what the love of her life looked like, thanks to her memory loss a year ago.
Rhys
And now, even though I somehow managed to erase your memories a year ago, you remember everything.
Irina
I- I don't. Remember. Everything.
Irina said taking pauses in between, trying to close her eyes and force herself to remember something. Anything.
Even the face of her daughter's father.
Irina
What about Iris? What did you do to her? Is she our daughter or some sort of stupid ploy you put together to play against me?
Rhys looked up towards the corner of the room near the door opening where he could see the one-year-old came crawling and then slowly stood up
Rhys
Sure, she's your daughter. Yours and Shawn's.
He took Shawn's name with so much hatred that it hurts the ear. Irina saw her little baby in the room and covered her mouth, starting to cry.
Rhys
I thought the accident would kill her too but it didn't. You were pregnant when the accident occurred and were on the way to the hospital delivering his baby.
Rhys
My car crashed into yours and Shawn died. You gave birth to your beautiful little replica who looked exactly like you, just her hair are like her dad's.
Rhys
When I learned you lost your memories, I initially thought I'd give her away and start over with you. But then, I looked at her and...
Rhys caressed the face of Iris going closer to her.
Rhys
How could I giveaway something so beautiful that looks like you?
Irina
*more tears flows as she bites her lower lips scared for her daughter while this monster was touching her**
Rhys
So, I thought maybe we all could live together as a family, you know? But your stupid brain kept fxcking with you and in one year you never gave yourself to me!
Rhys
I lied, made you believe that I was your husband, father of your child. I tried everything to prove that I was your Shawn but fxck, your nightmares kept coming in the way.
Rhys scoffed again, this one was an extremely sad one and looked at Irina.
Rhys
And one year later, here we are.
Rhys
Why didnt you love me Irina? I did everything for you, even waited so long... Why can't you ever see me? Why can't you ever see my love for you?
