Chapter 2: Fractured Bonds
[Scene: Isabella crying in her bedroom.]
FL’s Older Sister: Juliette Rose Carter
Bella, open the door. I know you’re in there.
(FL): Isabella Grace Carter
(sniffles): Go away, Juliette. Please.
FL’s Older Sister: Juliette Rose Carter
I’m not leaving until you talk to me.
[Isabella slowly opens the door, her eyes red and swollen.]
(FL): Isabella Grace Carter
(voice trembling): What do you want? Come to rub it in my face?
FL’s Older Sister: Juliette Rose Carter
Rub what in? Bella, I didn’t ask for this!
(FL): Isabella Grace Carter
Didn’t ask for it? You’ve taken everything from me! My love, my future… Adrian was mine!
FL’s Older Sister: Juliette Rose Carter
(hesitating): I didn’t know, Bella. Father told me about the arrangement this morning. I didn’t have a choice.
(FL): Isabella Grace Carter
You always have a choice! But you didn’t fight for me. You just let them ruin everything!
FL’s Older Sister: Juliette Rose Carter
(firmly): You think this is easy for me? Do you think I want to marry someone who’s in love with my sister?
(FL): Isabella Grace Carter
(crying): Then don’t. Tell them no, Juliette. Please… don’t do this to me.
FL’s Older Sister: Juliette Rose Carter
(sighs): I wish I could. But this is bigger than both of us. You know how our family works. We don’t get to say no.
(FL): Isabella Grace Carter
That’s just an excuse. You’re taking the one thing that mattered to me. I’ll never forgive you for this, Juliette.
[Isabella slams the door, leaving Juliette standing in silence.]
Later that night, Isabella texts Adrian.
(FL): Isabella Grace Carter
Adrian, please… talk to me.
(ML): Adrian James Bennett
Bella, I’m sorry. I don’t know what to say.
(FL): Isabella Grace Carter
Say you’ll fight for me. Say you’ll stop this. Please, Adrian… don’t let them do this to us.
(ML): Adrian James Bennett
I wish I could. But it’s not that simple.
(FL): Isabella Grace Carter
It is simple! You love me, don’t you?
(ML): Adrian James Bennett
I do. But my family…
(FL): Isabella Grace Carter
Stop hiding behind your family! If you really loved me, you’d fight for me. You’d choose me.
(ML): Adrian James Bennett
Bella… I’m so sorry.
[Adrian leaves her message on “seen,” breaking her heart all over again.]
(FL): Isabella Grace Carter
(thinking): Adrian was my everything. I thought he’d be my forever, but he chose his family over me. And Juliette… the sister who was supposed to protect me… she took him away without a fight.
(FL): Isabella Grace Carter
(thinking): I’ve lost everything. But maybe, just maybe, I need to stop relying on everyone else to save me.
