📞 Chapter 1: The Call
The house is quiet.
Too quiet.
Larry sits alone, lost in thought.
Then—his phone vibrates.
Jaden.
He answers immediately.
Larry: “Jaden? What’s going on?”
Jaden’s voice is rushed… shaken.
Jaden: “Larry… it’s bad. They arrested my mom.”
Larry freezes.
Larry: “What are you talking about?”
Jaden: “Lynette. She’s in custody… because of a complaint.”
A pause.
Then—
Jaden: “It came from Bethany.”
😱 Chapter 2: The Shock
Everything in Larry’s expression changes.
His grip tightens.
Larry: “No… she wouldn’t—”
But deep down…
He knows.
⚡ Chapter 3: The Confrontation
Larry walks straight into the living room.
Bethany looks up, calm.
“Hey… what’s wrong?”
Larry’s voice turns cold.
“Stop acting like you don’t know.”
She hesitates.
“Larry… what are you talking about?”
“Lynette’s been arrested,” he says.
A beat.
“And it leads back to you.”
💥 Chapter 4: The Breaking Point
Bethany’s face shifts.
“Larry, I didn’t think it would—”
He cuts her off.
“You didn’t think? Or you didn’t care?”
Silence fills the room.
📝 Chapter 5: The Divorce
Larry reaches into his bag.
Pulls out papers.
Places them in front of her.
Larry: “Sign them.”
Bethany stares down.
Confused. Shaking.
“…What is this?”
His answer is immediate.
Larry: “Divorce papers.”
💔 Chapter 6: The Fallout
Bethany’s eyes fill with tears.
“Larry, please… I was trying to fix things. I love you.”
Larry doesn’t move.
“Love doesn’t look like this.”
A pause.
“You betrayed me.”
⚠️ Chapter 7: No Turning Back
Bethany’s voice breaks.
“We can fix this… we always do.”
Larry shakes his head slowly.
“No. This time… it’s over.”
🌌 Chapter 8: The End
He turns and walks away.
No hesitation.
No looking back.
Bethany stands there—alone—holding the papers.
Everything silent.
Everything broken.
🔥 Final Hook
One decision.
One call.
One betrayal.
And just like that—
Everything ends. 😳💔
