JUSTIN'S APARTMENT, LIVING ROOM.
"You did what?" Nina raised her voice and asked with a tone full of incredulity.
"Baby, listen to me... I didn't know anything. I can swear it on my life. It was a total mistake, nothing but that. Believe me, okay?" The man opposite her, who was also her fiance, Justin Walters said as he tried to hug her.
"Don't touch me! Take those dirty hands off me! It totally disgusts me just to think that these same hands had touched another woman intimately,” She screamed and angrily swung his hands away.
"Baby..." Justin called out, sounding like he was in pain
In response, Nina stood up from the sofa after which she calmly turned back to look down at Justin from the elevated height.
Quite obviously, she was now back to the Ice Queen that everyone inside and out the Entertainment Industry was familiar with. Seeing this and knowing that she only brought out this attitude as her protective mechanism, Justin instantly had a bad premonition that whatever she was going to say next would definitely be something that he didn't want to hear or listen to.
Sure enough.
"Jay, I think we need a break." She dropped a news that was nothing short of a bombshell right on him and despite already expecting her to say something he wouldn't like but still... not this! Definitely not this!
"No, wait... You just said what??.. A break?! You probably mean a break-up, right?!" After blanking out for a minute on hearing her heartless announcement, Justin also stood up in anger, stared into her eyes and stammered out.
"I said I knew nothing! Absolutely nothing! All I did was just to have a few drinks with my business partners at a bar and the next thing I knew was waking up the next day with with a strange woman by my side. I am not even sure if anything happened! Why can't you for goodness's sake understand that, huh?" He lashed out.
However, Nina didn't show much reaction to his words and only waited for him to finish speaking. Only then did she also stare back into his eyes and say word for word.
"You still don't get it after all. What I am finding hard to accept here is the fact that MY MAN slept with another woman, even if he claimed to know nothing. It makes me feel... dirty!"
Hearing her say the word 'dirty', a flash of hurt appeared in Justin's eyes but at the same time, these words made him realize the gravity of his situation.
Immediately, his face became pleading, "You actually don't mean what you are saying, right baby? This is just another misunderstanding and we are going to resolve it, just like we always do."
One wouldn't know how his subordinates and business partners would feel when they see this proud and arrogant man on usual days begging a woman so humbly. But how could they understand the depth of his love for the woman in front of him, not to talk of begging, he would do so much more, after all, he was the one in the wrong here. He didn't care about his pride if it could make her stay, but from the looks of it, he didn't think it could make any difference...
"This isn't just ANOTHER misunderstanding, Justin! You know that I am a clean and possessive freak! For me, our relationship automatically came to end when you touched another woman and since it has come that, the only thing left for me to is to breakup with you. So, after today we would no longer be related in any way." She said with deep chilliness in her tone but at the same time tried very hard to hide the quiver in her voice when she mentioned breaking up with him.
"No! You can't do this, Nina. You just can't abandon US. I love you and can hardly live without you, baby. You know that too!" The moment he heard Nina say those unfeeling words, Justin completely panicked and grabbed Nina's arms tightly making her wince in pain. This prompted him to let go of her hurriedly and apologize nervously.
"I am sorry! I really didn't mean to hurt you, baby. I am... I mean... was just in a hurry."
