BETHANY DISCOVERS LARRY LOVES JADE — AND THREATENS TO DESTROY HER!

Bethany Discovers Larry’s Secret Feelings

Bethany’s anger reached a breaking point when she discovered that Larry had feelings for Jade. She had never imagined that the man she trusted could develop such strong feelings for another woman. But what hurt her even more was realizing that Jade might also be interested in Larry. Determined to stop anything from happening between them, Bethany decided to confront Jade and deliver a warning she would never forget.

Bethany stood in the living room, staring at Larry’s phone on the table. A notification appeared on the screen, and Jade’s name immediately caught her attention. Bethany hesitated before picking up the phone. She did not want to believe what she was seeing, but the messages made her suspicious.

BETHANY: “Why is Larry talking to Jade like this? Why is he giving her so much attention?”

She continued looking at the messages, and her expression changed. Larry had been checking on Jade, asking how she was doing, and making sure everything was okay. It was not just an ordinary conversation. Bethany could sense that something deeper was developing between them.

Just then, Larry walked into the living room.

LARRY: “Bethany, what are you doing with my phone?”

Bethany quickly turned toward him, holding the phone in her hand.

BETHANY: “I should be asking you that question. Why are you constantly talking to Jade?”

Larry looked uncomfortable. He reached for his phone, but Bethany refused to give it back immediately.

LARRY: “She’s just someone I know. What’s the problem?”

BETHANY: “Don’t lie to me, Larry. I saw the messages. You care about her more than you want me to believe.”

Larry sighed and tried to remain calm.

LARRY: “You’re making something out of nothing. Jade and I are just talking.”

BETHANY: “Then why does it feel like you’re hiding something? Every time her name comes up, you become defensive.”

Larry finally took his phone and placed it in his pocket.

LARRY: “I don’t want another argument. Not everything needs to become a fight.”

Bethany stared at him, disappointed by his response.

BETHANY: “You might not want an argument, but I’m not going to sit here and watch another woman come between us.”

Larry walked away without answering. His silence only made Bethany more determined to find out what was happening between him and Jade.

Bethany Calls Jade for a Confrontation

Later that afternoon, Bethany decided to meet Jade. She called her and asked her to come over because she needed to discuss something important. Jade initially thought the conversation would be about an ordinary family matter, so she agreed.

When Jade arrived, Bethany was already waiting for her. Her expression was serious, and she did not even offer Jade a friendly greeting.

JADE: “Hey, Bethany. You said you wanted to talk to me. Is everything okay?”

BETHANY: “No, everything is not okay. And you know exactly why I called you here.”

Jade looked confused.

JADE: “I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Bethany stepped closer, her voice becoming sharper.

BETHANY: “Stay away from Larry. I know you’ve been talking to him, and I know he’s starting to have feelings for you.”

Jade was surprised by the accusation.

JADE: “Bethany, I don’t understand why you’re blaming me. Larry is the one who contacts me. I haven’t done anything wrong.”

BETHANY: “Don’t try to make yourself look innocent. I have seen the messages, and I know what’s going on.”

Jade shook her head.

JADE: “Talking to someone doesn’t mean there’s a relationship. You should be having this conversation with Larry instead of accusing me.”

Bethany became even angrier. She had expected Jade to apologize, but instead, Jade was defending herself.

Bethany Threatens Jade — Stay Away from Larry!

BETHANY: “Listen carefully. If you ever come near Larry again, I will make you regret it. If you come around Larry again, I will kill you!”

Jade stepped back, shocked by the seriousness of Bethany’s threat.

JADE: “Did you really just threaten me? You cannot talk to me like that.”

BETHANY: “I’m warning you because I don’t want to see you around him again. Stay away from my family.”

Jade took a deep breath, trying to control her emotions.

JADE: “Larry is responsible for his own decisions. If he has feelings for me, you need to ask him why. Don’t threaten me because you cannot control his behavior.”

Bethany pointed toward the door.

BETHANY: “Get out of my house. And remember what I told you.”

Jade picked up her belongings and walked toward the exit. Before leaving, she turned around one last time.

JADE: “You should be worried about what Larry is telling you, not what I’m doing. Maybe you don’t know him as well as you think.”

Her words left Bethany speechless for a moment. Jade opened the door and walked away.

Bethany remained standing in the living room, furious. She had expected the confrontation to make Jade back down, but Jade’s final words had created even more doubts in her mind.

Jade Decides to Tell Larry Everything

Meanwhile, Jade sat inside her car, trying to process what had just happened. She could not believe Bethany had threatened her over Larry. She immediately called a trusted person and explained everything.

JADE: “You won’t believe what just happened. Bethany called me over and accused me of trying to get close to Larry. Then she threatened me.”

The person on the other end asked whether she was safe.

JADE: “I’m okay, but I’m not going to pretend this didn’t happen. Larry needs to know what she said.”

Jade ended the call and considered whether she should contact Larry immediately.

Back at home, Larry noticed that Bethany was unusually quiet. He walked into the kitchen and found her standing near the counter.

LARRY: “What’s wrong with you? You’ve been acting strange all day.”

BETHANY: “I handled something that you should have handled yourself.”

Larry frowned.

LARRY: “What does that mean?”

BETHANY: “I called Jade. I told her to stay away from you.”

Larry’s expression immediately changed.

LARRY: “You called Jade? Why would you do that?”

BETHANY: “Because somebody had to make it clear that she cannot keep coming between us.”

Larry placed his hands on the counter.

LARRY: “Bethany, you had no right to bring her into our problems.”

BETHANY: “And you have the right to make me feel like I’m competing with another woman?”

LARRY: “I never asked you to compete with anybody.”

BETHANY: “Then tell me the truth. Do you have feelings for Jade?”

Larry became silent. Bethany watched his face carefully, waiting for an answer.

BETHANY: “Look at me, Larry. Do you love her?”

Before Larry could respond, his phone started ringing. He looked at the screen and saw Jade’s name.

Bethany noticed it immediately.

Jade Calls Larry — Bethany Loses Her Temper

BETHANY: “There she is again. Go ahead, answer her. Maybe she wants to tell you how I treated her.”

Larry picked up the phone, but Bethany grabbed his arm.

BETHANY: “If you answer that call, don’t expect me to forget what is happening between you two.”

Larry gently pulled his arm away.

LARRY: “I’m answering because I need to know what happened. You cannot threaten people and expect me to pretend everything is normal.”

He answered the call.

LARRY: “Jade, what’s going on?”

Jade’s voice sounded upset.

JADE: “Larry, your wife just threatened me. She told me that if I ever came near you again, she would kill me. I don’t know what you have told her, but I don’t deserve this.”

Larry looked toward Bethany, who was standing just a few feet away.

LARRY: “I’m sorry. I didn’t know she was going to do that.”

JADE: “You need to figure out what you want, Larry. I don’t want to be caught in the middle of your relationship.”

Larry closed his eyes for a moment.

LARRY: “I understand. I’ll talk to her.”

Jade ended the call.

Bethany immediately demanded an explanation.

BETHANY: “So now you’re apologizing to her? You’re more concerned about her feelings than mine?”

LARRY: “I’m concerned because you crossed a line. You cannot threaten someone just because you’re angry with me.”

Bethany’s eyes filled with frustration.

BETHANY: “I did it because I don’t want to lose you!”

Larry looked at her, his expression becoming serious.

LARRY: “Then maybe we need to talk about why you feel you’re losing me.”

Bethany had no answer. For the first time, Larry was not simply trying to end the argument. He wanted answers, and she could tell that something had changed.

Larry Receives a Mysterious Message from Jade

Suddenly, Larry’s phone received another message. He looked down, and his expression changed.

It was from Jade.

JADE’S MESSAGE: “Larry, there’s something important I didn’t tell you earlier. I think you need to know the truth before things get worse.”

Larry stared at the screen. Bethany noticed his reaction and immediately demanded to see the message.

BETHANY: “What did she send you? Larry, show me your phone!”

Larry slowly looked up at Bethany.

LARRY: “I think there’s something going on that neither of us understands.”

Bethany’s anger turned into nervousness.

BETHANY: “What does that mean?”

Larry did not answer. Instead, he called Jade again. But this time, her phone went straight to voicemail.

Bethany watched him anxiously as he tried calling a second time.

Then a message appeared on Larry’s screen.

Jade’s Final Message Leaves Bethany Terrified

JADE’S MESSAGE: “Please don’t tell Bethany I contacted you. I need to speak with you privately.”

Larry looked at Bethany, and she immediately realized that whatever was happening between them was far from over.

Bethany stared at the phone, unable to understand why Jade wanted to speak with Larry privately. Her mind was filled with questions. What was Jade hiding? Why did she want Larry to keep their conversation secret? And why had she suddenly become so desperate to speak with him?

BETHANY: “Larry, I want you to tell me exactly what Jade is trying to hide. I am not going to let you keep secrets from me.”

Larry looked down at the message again. He knew that another argument would not solve anything, but Jade’s words had made him concerned.

LARRY: “I don’t know what she’s about to tell me, Bethany. But I’m going to find out.”

Bethany stepped closer, her voice filled with frustration.

BETHANY: “If you go behind my back to meet her, don’t expect things to remain the same between us.”

Larry did not respond. He picked up his keys and looked toward the door.

Bethany suddenly realized that Larry might actually leave to meet Jade. The same woman she had threatened earlier was now the person Larry seemed determined to contact.

Just as Larry reached for the door, another notification appeared on his phone. This time, Jade had sent a new message.

Larry opened it, and his face immediately changed. Bethany noticed his reaction and demanded to know what it said.

BETHANY: “Larry! What did she tell you? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Larry slowly turned toward her, holding the phone tightly.

LARRY: “Bethany, I think you need to sit down. Jade has something important to tell us, and after you hear it, nothing may ever be the same.”

Bethany froze. She had threatened Jade to protect her relationship with Larry, but now she was beginning to fear that the truth could change everything.
