 Amber Demands Answers: What Future Did You See for Us… With Shayla Always in the Picture? 😬

Scene: Amber and Anthony in the bedroom. Amber looks frustrated while Anthony is distracted on his laptop.

Amber:
So, you wasn’t going to take my pills off the side of the bed?

Anthony:
Oh, my fault. I got caught up sending these emails off. You good?

Amber:
Yeah, I’m good. Thank you.

Anthony:
No problem. No problem.

Amber (hesitant but firm):
Can I ask you something, Anthony?

Anthony (smiling, not noticing her tone):
Yeah, sure. Babe, what’s up?

Amber (serious, locking eyes on him):
You know, you always doing your business, making moves, chasing deals… you’ve always had strategies and backup plans. Even when you lost all that money in the stock market, you still found a way to flip it with your taxes. You always had a plan for everything.

Anthony (nodding, proud):
Yeah… that’s me. Always gotta stay three steps ahead.

Amber (cutting him off, voice sharp):
Exactly. Always a plan. Always a strategy. But tell me this—what was your plan for us?

Anthony (pauses, blinking):
What you mean?

Amber (leaning forward, voice rising):
Don’t play dumb with me, Anthony. You knew Shayla was never gonna let us have a happily ever after, not with Kai in the middle. So what was your plan for me? For us? For our life? For your wife?

Anthony (caught off guard, stammers):
Amber… honestly, I… I’m not saying Kai was a mistake. But the way he came into this world—it was a mistake.

Amber (snapping):
Don’t you dare call him that!

Anthony (quickly backtracking):
No, no, listen—he’s not a mistake. But the situation? It was wrong. I guess I just thought… if I did enough right, all my wrongs would cancel out.

Amber (eyes narrowing, shaking her head):
That’s not a plan, Anthony. That’s a gamble. And you weren’t gambling with money—you were gambling with me, with Kai, with our future.

Anthony (voice low, struggling):
In business, there’s no emotions. That’s how I’ve always been able to move and shake. But when it comes to you, to Kai… it’s nothing but emotions. And I wasn’t ready for that.

Amber (coldly):
So you had a plan for your money. You had a plan for your business. But for your wife and your son? Nothing but wishful thinking.

Anthony (pleading):
No, Amber, listen… I had everything mapped out the way I wanted it to go. All I needed was you—my rib. I thought once I got back in your good graces, everything else would just fall into place.

Amber (tears forming, but voice firm):
So your big plan… was me forgiving you? That’s it? That’s what you bet our lives on?

Anthony (silent, searching for words, but none come):
…

Amber (pulling away, shaking her head):
That’s what I thought. You never really had a plan. Not for Kai. Not for me. Just for yourself.
