Secrets Exposed! Bethany Tells Natasha That Greg Asked Her Ex to Testify — and Larry Secretly Overhears Everything Read More BELOW⬇

 

Bethany Tells Natasha the Truth — And Larry Overhears

I. A Truth That Shouldn’t Exist

Bethany sat on the edge of the cozy sofa, phone glowing in her hand, her pulse thudding too loud in her ears. What she’d just learned made her stomach twist.

Greg hadn’t just crossed a line—he’d sprinted over it.
Meeting with her ex. Wanting him to testify. Against her.

BETHANY *(under her breath)*
“I can’t let Larry find out… not yet.”

Her fingers tapped anxiously against the screen 😬 as her mind raced through damage control, contingencies, worst-case scenarios.

Larry didn’t react calmly to threats. He reacted explosively.

II. Natasha Walks In Lightly

The front door opened. Natasha breezed in, humming, blissfully unaware of the tension coiled tight in the room 🌸.

NATASHA
“Hey, Beth! What’s up? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Bethany forced a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.

BETHANY
“Hey, Nat… just thinking.”

Natasha dropped her bag and flopped onto the sofa beside her.

NATASHA
“That’s never just thinking with you. Spill.”

Bethany hesitated, glancing toward the hallway. Too quiet.

BETHANY
“It’s… complicated. It’s about Greg.”

NATASHA
“And your ex, right? Please tell me he didn’t do something stupid again.”

Bethany exhaled slowly 😰.

BETHANY
“Greg met with him. He wants him to testify against me.”

III. The Listener in the Shadows

Before Natasha could respond, a faint creak echoed from the hallway. Bethany froze. Her heart dropped.

Larry stood just out of sight, leaning against the wall, completely still 👀.

LARRY *(to himself, barely audible)*
“Greg… wants her ex to testify… against her?”

His jaw tightened. Shock bled into fury. Protective instincts flared hot and immediate 💥.

IV. Words Spoken Too Freely

Natasha, oblivious, leaned closer.

NATASHA
“Beth, that’s insane. What are you going to do?”

Bethany lowered her voice instinctively.

BETHANY
“I can’t let Larry know yet. He’ll blow this up before I understand what Greg’s really doing.”

Larry’s fists clenched in the shadows. Too late.

NATASHA
“Maybe you should just tell him. Secrets don’t stay buried.”

BETHANY
“No. Not yet. Please. I need control before chaos.”

Larry swallowed hard, every word fueling a dangerous resolve 🔥.

V. A Protector Awakens

Bethany continued, unaware of the storm inches away.

BETHANY
“I’ll handle Greg myself. He’s trying to manipulate everything. And my ex… he’s already confused.”

NATASHA
“Just don’t carry this alone too long. Larry notices everything.”

BETHANY
“Yeah… that’s what scares me.”

In the hallway, Larry slowly stepped back. His emotions collided—betrayal, fear for Bethany, rage at Greg.

VI. The Quiet Shift of Power

Larry retreated silently down the hall, unseen, unheard. But no longer uninvolved.

Bethany leaned back against the couch, closing her eyes.

BETHANY *(whispering)*
“I just need a plan.”

NATASHA
“You’ll figure it out. You always do.”

Bethany nodded, unaware that the game had already changed. Because somewhere behind closed doors, Larry was already thinking three steps ahead.

And the most dangerous players… Are the ones no one knows have entered the game.
