Anthony Checks Amber HARD: You Dragged Me Out Like a Little Boy?! 😳
[Scene opens with Anthony storming into the living room after Amber’s dramatic pull-up.]
Anthony (heated): Amber, what the hell was that?!
Amber (defensive): What was what? I came to talk to you!
Anthony (snapping): Talk to me?! You dragged me out like I’m some little boy that can’t speak for myself. Don’t you EVER in your life do me like that again.
Amber (rolling eyes): Oh, so now I’m the villain? Anthony, I was protecting what’s mine. You think I’m about to sit back while you parade around Shayla’s house like it’s all good?
Anthony (stepping closer): Protecting what’s yours? Girl, don’t get it twisted. I love you with all my heart, but that right there? That was petty, that was childish. And worse—my son was standing right there hearing all of it!
Amber (voice breaking): You don’t get it. Do you know how it feels, Anthony? Watching her control everything between us? It’s never just Mr. and Mrs. Dalton anymore. It’s Shayla, too. She’s in our marriage whether I like it or not!
Anthony (pointing at himself): Control me? Nobody controls me, Amber. Not Shayla, not her mama, not anybody. If I make a move, it’s because I chose it. I take responsibility for my actions. So don’t you dare blame her for what I do.
Amber (frustrated, pacing): Then explain it! Why do I feel like I’m sharing my husband with another woman?
Anthony (calming slightly): Because you’re looking at it wrong. This ain’t about Shayla. This ain’t about you. This is about Kai. I’ll be damned if my son grows up thinking his father was absent. That boy is my blood. If he’s at Shayla’s house, at her mama’s, on the damn moon—I’m gonna be there. Period.
Amber (teary-eyed): And what about me, Anthony? Do you even see how hard this is for me?
Anthony (softening, but firm): I see you. I hear you. And I know I put you through hell—everything I did in the past, that’s on me. But if you say you want me to lead, you can’t pick and choose when I’m the man of this house. If I can lead us financially, I can lead us in this too.
Amber (sniffling): So I’m just supposed to trust that you’ve got us… even when it feels like she’s always in the middle?
Anthony (nodding, holding her hands): Yes. Trust that I’m making the best decisions for both of us. Because I love you, Amber. I ain’t going nowhere. But don’t EVER pull up on me like that again.
Amber (sighing, giving in): Fine. Maybe I went too far. I just… I don’t want to lose you.
Anthony (pulling her close): You won’t. But next time, let me handle it.
Amber (softly): I love you.
Anthony (kissing her forehead): I love you too. Always.
[Music fades in as the tension simmers down—but the drama is far from over.]
