 No More Secrets! Amber Confesses About Wayne – Anthony Hits Back With Shayla Bombshell!

Location: Private Therapy Session Patio – Midday, light breeze, quiet setting

Therapist (Shayla): Thank you both for being here again. I know this isn’t easy, but honesty is the only way we can move forward. Amber, last time you mentioned you had something you’ve been holding back.

Amber: (nervously clutching her hands) I did. I’ve been meaning to say it for a while, but every time I look at Anthony, I freeze. Because I know once I say it... things won’t ever be the same.

Anthony: (leaning in) Just say it, Amber. I’d rather deal with the truth than keep living in this fog.

Amber: (deep breath) It’s about Wayne.

Shayla: (nodding) Take your time.

Amber: (tears forming) Remember when we were having all those arguments, and I said I was staying at my cousin’s?

Anthony: (expression shifts) Yeah... you said you needed space.

Amber: I wasn’t with my cousin. I was with Wayne.

Anthony: (blinking) Wayne? Wayne Wayne? Your ex?

Amber: (softly) Yes.

Anthony: (getting up, pacing) Are you serious right now? Wayne? After everything he put you through?

Amber: I didn’t plan it. I was confused, hurt, and he was there. He said all the right things. I was feeling neglected by you, and... it happened. Just once.

Anthony: (angrily) Once is enough! You lied for months! You let me sit across from you at dinner, sleep beside you... all while keeping this from me?

Shayla: Anthony, I know this is overwhelming. But let’s stay grounded. This is a space for the truth.

Anthony: (sits down slowly, shaking head) I can’t believe this.

Amber: I’m sorry. I’ve been carrying it like a weight. It wasn’t about Wayne. It was about not feeling seen.

Anthony: (quietly) You should’ve told me.

Amber: I was scared to lose you.

Shayla: Amber, thank you for your honesty. Anthony, how do you feel hearing that?

Anthony: Like I’ve been punched in the chest. But if we’re putting it all on the table...

Amber: (looking up) There’s more?

Anthony: (sighs) You weren’t the only one feeling unseen. I didn’t cheat on you, but I got close. Too close.

Amber: (voice cracks) With who?

Anthony: Shayla.

Amber: (in disbelief) The therapist?

Shayla: (shocked) Wait, what?

Anthony: Not in that way. Not physically. But I started leaning on you emotionally. I told you things I hadn’t told Amber. I began to feel understood by you. And that... that connection became something I looked forward to more than it should've been.

Shayla: I had no idea. That blurs some serious boundaries, Anthony. I take that seriously.

Amber: So while I was trying to figure us out, you were falling for our therapist?

Anthony: I didn’t fall for her. I just... I needed someone who got me. And Shayla, you listened in a way I hadn’t felt in a long time.

Shayla: I appreciate your honesty, but we need to reframe how this therapy continues. I can’t counsel you both if these emotional boundaries aren’t respected.

Amber: (voice firm) So we were both lost. Both reaching for something outside of us.

Anthony: Seems that way.

Shayla: The question now is: Do you both want to fight for this relationship? Or is this the moment where we begin to let it go?

Amber: I still love him. I’m ashamed of what I did. But I want to fix it. I want to heal us.

Anthony: I’m angry, I won’t lie. But part of me... part of me still sees what we could be. If we stop running.

Shayla: Then let’s reset. No more secrets. No more blurred lines. From this moment on, you rebuild on truth.

Amber: (nods) No more secrets.

Anthony: (nods back) No more secrets.

Shayla: Then let’s begin again.
