My Wife Is Scared (Season 2)
Beneath the weight of blood.
Lily black (Everett's wife)
That... that is because of a reason...
(softly, her fingers tightening around her fork)
John arison (Ml)
Reason? What reason?
(Raising one eyebrow, calmly)
Everett black (Ml bff)
Are you two planning to talk through the entire dinner? Focus on the food.
(cutting in, voice firm yet controlled)
John arison (Ml)
Donโt interrupt.
(glancing at Everett, voice low but clipped)
John arison (Ml)
Yes, Go on lily!!!
(He turns back to Lily)
Lily black (Everett's wife)
Things changed for her, suddenly. Life forced her to grow up before time.
Lily black (Everett's wife)
There was... some urgency in her life. She really needed to work... badly.
(a little hesitant, voice laced with honesty)
John arison (Ml)
...
(eating quietly, eyes down, but ears open)
Lily black (Everett's wife)
Her father passed away two years ago... and after that, her family was under heavy financial pressure.
(continuing, carefully choosing her words)
Lily black (Everett's wife)
I offered to help... but she didnโt accept it. Sheโs always been that way.

John arison (Ml)
(freezes for a breath, his fork midair โ just a flicker of something in his eyes, but his voice remains even)
I see.
John arison (Ml)
Howโd it happen?
(pause)
Everett black (Ml bff)
John, whatโs the point of discussing this tonight?
(flatly, with visible impatience)
John arison (Ml)
Let her speak.
(turning his gaze to Everett, voice sharp but contained, Give a death glare in controlling his emotions by clutching fist)
John arison (Ml)
No one asked you to police the conversation, Everett.

Lily black (Everett's wife)
It was a heart attack.
I offered help, told Julia I could support herโbut she refused. Said sheโd manage on her own.
Lily black (Everett's wife)
(looked towards Everett with a proud smile)
Lily black (Everett's wife)
"but when Everett saw me worrying about her and how overwhelmed she was, he quietly stepped in and offered a solutionโฆ he arranged everything so she could finish her graduation earlier than scheduled, with his help. And honestly, given everything she was dealing with back then, she didnโt really have the heart to refuse."
John arison (Ml)
(face unreadable)
Everett black (Ml bff)
John.
Once youโre done here, I need a word. Study.
Five minutes.
(sets down his cutlery, voice calm but carrying weight)

Lily black (Everett's wife)
(watching him go, then turning back to John)
Lily black (Everett's wife)
I admire her. Not just for what she survived, but how she carried herself through it all.
I may not be half as strong or sharp as her, but knowing someone like her makes me feel... fortunate.
Lily black (Everett's wife)
(pauses, glancing at him)
You too, brother.
I never asked for much from life. But somehow... it gave me everything I didnโt even know if I was worthy of it or needed.
Lily black (Everett's wife)
I am grateful to be Everett's wife ... (smiles with tears)
John arison (Ml)
(looking at his plate, voice quieter now)
You should feel lucky. After all Everett black married to you the one who have so much strength in the dark work...
John arison (Ml)
(long pause)
I wonโt pretend to understand everything in this world. But one thing I do knowโ
If Everett loves someone, really loves them... heโll walk through hell just to keep their world steady. Thatโs not hope. Thatโs certainty.
Lily black (Everett's wife)
Then Iโll match that loyalty.
Whatever comes, Iโll stand by him. Thatโs not just a promise to youโitโs a vow to myself.
(smiling, a quiet emotion in her eyes)
John arison (Ml)
Now youโre sounding like the Everett Black kind of wife.
John arison (Ml)
Alright.
Get some rest, sister. Youโve earned it.
(smirks slightly as he stands)
Lily black (Everett's wife)
(nods)
John arison (Ml)
(pauses, one final look)
Iโve got a conversation waiting.

Iโm not.
(dragging deeply, voice hoarse)
John arison (Ml)
Then spit it out. Whatโs eating you?
(steps forward)
Everett black (Ml bff)
John... I donโt want this anymore.
(taking a deep drag, voice low)
John arison (Ml)
What do you mean?
(confused)
Everett black (Ml bff)
This life... this whole damn thing. It's not what I want anymore.
(eyes sharp, tired)
John arison (Ml)
You're gonna have to be clearer than that, Everett. You're not making sense.

Everett black (Ml bff)
(explodes)
You think I waited this long to have a child because I was being Nobel? Or just to see Lily graduate? No. That was the lie I told myself to keep functioning.
(through gritted teeth)
John arison (Ml)
(looked at him quietly, listening to him)
John arison (Ml)
May I know what the actual reason of it, which is suffocating you?
Everett black (Ml bff)
Reason!!!

(voice breaks, filled with raw ache)
Reason... Because I canโtโI wonโtโbring a child into this cursed world I walk in. I wear power like armor, but inside... Iโm bleeding.
Everett black (Ml bff)
(bitter laugh):
During her studies, I tried everything... everything to pull myself out. To stop this blood trail. But every time I thought I was out, another enemy pulled me back in. Every time.

You know what haunts me, John? Not the enemies Iโve buried... but the thought of my son or daughter watching their father come home with blood on his hands... watching the devil instead of a dad.
Everett black (Ml bff)
Even if I try to hide, one day my this profession come in front of them...

I built an empire, John. Brick by bloody brick. And now? Every wall Iโve raised feels like a prison. Every man Iโve buried... Even though they deserve that , every deal Iโve made... itโs all carved into my skin. And one day, my child will read that story in my scars.

Everett you are reacting too much, we knew all this from very beginning before entering this lineโ(got cut off)

Everett, I said stop now!!!
Everett black (Ml bff)
Back when I had nothingโthis life made sense. But now, I have someone. A future. A family. And this... this underworld I once ruled? Itโs a curse I canโt shake off.
Everett black (Ml bff)
I see Lily panic attacks when I come home with blood on my cuffs. She hides it. But I know. I see the tremble in her hands. The tightness in her smile. She never says it, John... but she doesnโt have to. I see what my life does to her.

And you know whatโs worse? Iโm trapped. Even if I try to leaveโthey wonโt let me. Iโm too deep in the mud. The minute I slow down, the enemies come crawling back. I donโt even know who I am outside of this anymore.

It's not like that Everett we are... (stopped)
