Ep-12 Past is a place to learn
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(with a forced smile) "William, I have some news to share. Aurelia has agreed to marry Arthur."
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(excitedly) "That's wonderful news! I knew she would come around eventually. Our family's fortune will be secured."
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(looking troubled) "Yes, it's good news for our financial stability, but I can't help feeling uneasy about it. Aurelia deserves to marry for love, not just for the sake of our interests."
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(dismissively) "Love is a luxury, Natasha. In our world, practicality and wealth matter more. Besides, Arthur is from a prestigious family. It's a perfect match for Aurelia."
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(sighing) "I just wish she could find happiness in this marriage. I fear we're forcing her into a life she doesn't desire."
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(sternly) "Natasha, we've made our decision. Aurelia will do her duty for the sake of our family's future. We cannot afford to let sentimentality get in the way."
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(whispering) "I hope she isn't marrying a cheater..."
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(enraged) "What did you say? Are you calling Arthur a cheater?"
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(Backing away) "No, William, I didn't mean that. I just..."
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(raising his voice) "You dare to accuse me of being a cheater? Look at yourself, Natasha! You're the one who flirted with my brother behind my back!"
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(teary-eyed) "It wasn't like that, William. I never meant for any of that to happen. I made a mistake, and I regret it deeply."
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(shouting) "Regret won't undo what you've done! You betrayed me, our family!"
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(pleading) "Please, William, let's not bring up the past now. Our focus should be on Aurelia's future."
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(furious) "You think you can divert the attention away from your infidelity? You're lucky I haven't thrown you out yet!"
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(desperately) "I was in pain, William! Derek picked me up to put me on the bed because I couldn't walk properly. It was a moment of vulnerability and comfort, but nothing more. Why are you still holding a grudge after all these years?"
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(furiously) "Don't you dare try to justify your actions, Natasha! You were in love with Derek, and yet you agreed to marry me. You betrayed our vows and tore our family apart."
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(pleading) "Yes, I loved Derek, but my family arranged our marriage to secure their own interests. I thought I could learn to love you, but my heart was torn. It was a mistake, but I've been faithful to you ever since."
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(with bitterness) "Faithful? Do you think that one moment of weakness can be forgotten? It has haunted me all these years, knowing that my own brother had a place in your heart."
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(teary-eyed) "William, I can't change the past, but I've tried to make amends. I've been a loyal wife and a devoted mother. Can't we find a way to move forward and focus on our family?"
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(calming down slightly) "Our family... Yes, that's what matters now. But don't think for a moment that I've forgotten or forgiven."
Their painful history hung heavily in the air, and Natasha knew that trust and forgiveness would be hard to regain. She silently hoped that they could somehow heal their fractured relationship for the sake of their daughter, Aurelia.
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(defensively) "Don't talk about Derek like that! He is dead, and I mourned him just like you did."
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(sarcastically) "Oh, so now you're playing the grieving widow? Do you miss your old fling, Natasha? Is that why you betrayed me?"
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(emotionally) "No, William, that's not fair! I loved Derek, but I also loved you. His death was a tragedy that affected both of us. It's not about missing someone from the past; it's about trying to heal and move forward."
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(with bitterness) "Heal and move forward? Easier said than done when the wounds are still fresh. I can't erase the pain and the betrayal, Natasha."
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(pleading) "I understand, William, but dwelling on the past won't bring us any peace. We need to find a way to rebuild our trust and focus on our family."
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(angry and hurt) "Even though I loved him, after our marriage, I was loyal to you, William. We had Aurelia together, and I dedicated myself to our family. But you... you cheated on me with your brother's wife!"
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(defiantly) "Oh, so it was tit for tat, huh? You think what you did was justified? I never regretted being with her because I was drowning in my own pain and resentment towards you."
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(teary-eyed) "You had a choice, William. You could have chosen to communicate, to work things out with me. Instead, you sought solace in another woman's arms."
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(angrily) "I was hurting! You pushed me away emotionally, neglected me. I found comfort where I could."
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(voice trembling) "And what about the comfort I sought in Derek's arms when I felt neglected by you? We were both wrong, William, but that doesn't justify our actions. We need to confront our mistakes and find a way to heal."
The room was filled with the heavy weight of their broken relationship and the painful memories that had haunted them for so long. They both knew that forgiveness and understanding were essential if they were to salvage their family and find true happiness once again.
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(with bitterness) "I can't trust you, Natasha. The betrayal runs too deep, and I don't know if I'll ever be able to trust you again."
Natasha Blake ( Aurelia's Mother )
(resigned) "And I can't trust you either, William. We've both hurt each other in unimaginable ways, and trust seems like a distant memory now."
Natasha left the room, her heart heavy with the weight of her shattered marriage and the pain of her past choices.
She found solace in solitude, allowing the tears to flow freely down her cheeks as she confronted the consequences of her actions. The tears served as a release, a cathartic expression of her remorse and longing for a better future. In the midst of her tears, she hoped for forgiveness and a chance to rebuild what was broken, both within herself and in her relationship with William.
