Lauren Catches Wayne Kissing Dinisha
 Then Slaps Her Across the Face!

A shocking betrayal, a confrontation, and a secret nobody saw coming…

HOOK: Lauren thought she was walking into Wayne’s office with a surprise gift. Instead, she walked in on the one thing she could never forgive — Wayne kissing Dinisha. But what Lauren didn’t know was that the kiss was only the beginning of a much darker secret.

SCENE 1 — THE SECRET

The hallway is almost empty.

Rain taps against the windows as Lauren walks toward Wayne’s office, holding a small gift behind her back. A smile rests on her face.

She has no idea that, only a few steps away, her entire world is about to change.

The office door is slightly open.

Lauren slows down.

She hears laughter.

Then silence.

Through the narrow opening, she sees Wayne standing dangerously close to Dinisha.

WAYNE
You know this is wrong.
DINISHA
Then why haven’t you walked away?

Wayne hesitates.

His expression says everything.

Dinisha gently touches his face.

Before either of them can speak, Wayne leans forward.

THEIR LIPS MEET.

Lauren freezes.

The gift falls from her hand.

A soft thud echoes through the hallway.

Wayne and Dinisha pull apart.

Lauren stands in the doorway, completely stunned.

LAUREN
Wayne…

Wayne turns pale.

WAYNE
Lauren, wait.

Lauren looks from Wayne to Dinisha.

Her eyes fill with tears, but she refuses to let them fall.

LAUREN
How long?

Wayne says nothing.

Lauren’s silence says more than words ever could. She isn’t just angry. She is heartbroken.

LAUREN
I asked you how long!

Dinisha steps backward.

DINISHA
Lauren, it isn’t what you think.

“I SAW YOU KISSING HIM.”

The room becomes painfully quiet.

WAYNE
Lauren, please listen to me.
LAUREN
No. For once, you listen to me.

Lauren turns around and walks away.

SCENE 2 — THE CONFRONTATION

Later that evening, Lauren returns home.

She sits alone in the living room, staring at the rain outside.

The front door opens.

Wayne enters.

WAYNE
Lauren…
LAUREN
Don’t.

Wayne slowly approaches.

WAYNE
I can explain.
LAUREN
There’s nothing to explain.

Wayne takes a deep breath.

WAYNE
It was a mistake.

Lauren’s eyes become cold.

A mistake was not what she saw. She saw betrayal.

LAUREN
A mistake is forgetting someone’s birthday. A mistake is saying the wrong thing.

You kissed her.

Wayne lowers his eyes.

SCENE 3 — THE SLAP

The next morning, Lauren arrives at the office.

She walks straight toward Dinisha.

People nearby notice the tension.

DINISHA
Lauren?
LAUREN
We need to talk.

Dinisha looks around nervously.

DINISHA
Not here.

Lauren steps closer.

Her anger finally breaks through the pain.

LAUREN
You knew he was with me.
DINISHA
I know.

Lauren’s hand suddenly rises.

SLAP!

The hallway falls completely silent.

Dinisha slowly touches her cheek.

Wayne suddenly appears at the end of the hallway.

WAYNE
Lauren! What happened?

Lauren turns toward him.

LAUREN
Ask her.

Wayne looks confused.

DINISHA
Lauren knows.

SCENE 4 — THE MYSTERY CALL

Suddenly, Lauren’s phone rings.

She looks at the screen.

UNKNOWN CALLER

Lauren answers.

MYSTERIOUS VOICE
You think the kiss was the betrayal?

Lauren freezes.

LAUREN
Who is this?
MYSTERIOUS VOICE
Ask Wayne what happened the night before.

The call ends.

Lauren slowly lowers the phone.

Wayne watches her.

WAYNE
Lauren… what did they say?

Lauren looks at him, terrified.

Then she notices something on Dinisha’s phone.

A photograph.

Her eyes widen.

THE PHOTO REVEALS A SECRET.

Lauren looks at Wayne.

LAUREN
Wayne…

Wayne takes a step forward.

LAUREN
We have a much bigger problem.

TO BE CONTINUED…

But the biggest secret has not been revealed yet…
