You Want Me to Help Amber Ruin Anthony?! – Rolonda Snaps at Natasha’s Divorce Scheme
You Want Me to Help Amber Ruin Anthony?! – Rolonda Snaps at Natasha’s Divorce Scheme
Scene One: The Confession
Natasha (quietly):
“I need your help, Rolonda. This isn’t just about me and Anthony anymore.”
Rolonda (raising an eyebrow):
“Help with what, exactly? Because I swear, if you’re about to pull me into some shady mess—”
Natasha (cutting in):
“Amber came to me last week. She’s got receipts, Ro. Bank transfers, hotel bookings, voicemails… everything. She wants to expose Anthony—publicly.”
Rolonda (gasps):
“Oh, no you didn’t just say that. You’re working with Amber now?”
Natasha (defensive):
“No! I haven’t said yes. That’s why I’m here talking to you.”
Rolonda (crossing her arms):
“You want me to help Amber, the same woman who tried to sabotage your marriage five years ago, the one who showed up uninvited at your vow renewal ceremony, ruin your husband?”
Natasha (softly):
“He’s not really my husband anymore, is he?”
Scene Two: Tension Builds
Rolonda (stern):
“You sound real comfortable trying to destroy someone’s life. Last I checked, you were the one who begged Anthony to give you a second chance after your little texting situation.”
Natasha (snaps):
“That was different. That was harmless.”
Rolonda (coldly):
“Anthony didn’t think it was harmless. Neither did I. But he forgave you. And now because Amber walks in with a few scandalous PDFs, you’re ready to team up with her like y’all are the drama duo from hell?”
Natasha (frustrated):
“You don’t get it. This isn’t just revenge. It’s strategy. Amber knows things I don’t. Things I need to win this divorce.”
Rolonda (incredulous):
“So this is about the settlement now?”
Natasha (nodding):
“He’s hiding money. Offshore accounts. Trusts in his sister’s name. Amber can prove it.”
Rolonda (sarcastic):
“Amber? The same woman who called herself a 'spiritual consultant' but was running a pyramid scheme on Facebook?”
Natasha:
“She’s cleaned up her act.”
Rolonda (laughs bitterly):
“No, honey. She just learned how to delete better.”
Scene Three: Anthony Listens
(Camera pans to Anthony in the living room, watching with furrowed brows. He clenches his jaw but doesn’t move. He knows this conversation could change everything.)
Scene Four: The History
Rolonda (sighing):
“Let’s rewind. Remember when Amber showed up pregnant and claimed it was Anthony’s? That was a lie.”
Natasha:
“DNA cleared that.”
Rolonda:
“Exactly. She’s toxic. You hated her more than anyone. Now suddenly she’s your financial whistleblower?”
Natasha (firm):
“I’m tired, Ro. Tired of pretending we’re the perfect couple. Tired of being silenced. I know Anthony has skeletons. And Amber’s offering me the key to the closet.”
Rolonda:
“And what happens when she turns on you too? Or starts leaking stuff that paints you as the villain?”
Natasha (pauses):
“I don’t care anymore.”
Scene Five: Rolonda’s Flashback
Rolonda (voice rising):
“I sat on your porch crying with you the night you thought Anthony was leaving. You remember that? I defended you in front of my own brother when he said you were manipulative. I chose you, Natasha.”
Natasha (quietly):
“I know…”
Rolonda:
“And now you want me to betray him for Amber? You really think I’d sell out Anthony just because you're bitter?”
Natasha (suddenly emotional):
“I’m not bitter. I’m broken, Ro. He made me feel invisible. He was halfway out the door for two years before I even knew it.”
Rolonda:
“Then walk away. Take the high road. But don't act like dragging him through the mud with Amber is your only option.”
Scene Six: The Ultimatum
Natasha (pleading):
“I need you, Rolonda. As my friend. Help me get what I deserve.”
Rolonda (cold, resolute):
“No. What you deserve is peace, not war. And if you keep playing with snakes like Amber, you’re gonna get bit.”
Natasha (eyes narrowing):
“So you choose him over me?”
Rolonda (looking her dead in the eye):
“I choose what’s right. You want to fight dirty? Leave me out of it.”
(A long pause. Natasha looks away, biting her lip.)
Scene Seven: The Fallout Begins
Anthony (from the couch, voice sharp):
“So this is what it’s come to, huh?”
Natasha (startled):
“You were listening?”
Anthony (standing up):
“You came into my home plotting with Amber? Seriously?”
Natasha (shaky):
“I didn’t agree to anything.”
Anthony:
“But you thought about it. That’s enough.”
Rolonda (intervening):
“Both of y’all need to cool off.”
Anthony (to Natasha):
“I gave you everything. And even if we were falling apart, I never tried to ruin you.”
Natasha (whispers):
“Maybe that was your mistake.”
Anthony (mocking laugh):
“Wow. So now I’m the fool for not playing dirty?”
Scene Eight: Amber’s Shadow
Rolonda (muttering):
“Amber’s somewhere laughing her ass off right now.”
Natasha (defensive):
“She’s just a tool.”
Rolonda:
“No. She’s the match. And you’re about to burn everything down.”
Anthony (to Rolonda):
“I don’t need you to take sides. But don’t let her rewrite history.”
Rolonda:
“I won’t. I’ve seen both of you at your best and your worst. But this? This is the worst.”
Scene Nine: The Silence That Follows
(Everyone falls silent. The tension is thick. Natasha looks torn. Anthony looks hurt. Rolonda looks exhausted.)
Rolonda (finally):
“I’m done picking up the pieces of other people’s choices. You wanna go scorched earth, Natasha? Do it without me.”
Natasha (soft):
“So that’s it?”
Rolonda:
“That’s it.”
Scene Ten: Natasha Alone
(Later that evening. Natasha sits in her car alone, phone in her hand. Amber’s number is on the screen. Her finger hovers over the “Call” button.)
(She hesitates… then throws the phone onto the passenger seat and breaks down crying.)
Epilogue: Three Paths
-
Anthony begins preparing for a clean, quiet divorce, determined to maintain his dignity even if Natasha doesn’t.
-
Rolonda steps back from both of them, finally realizing she can’t be the emotional referee forever.
-
Natasha sits at a crossroads — one path paved with vengeance and scandal, the other with vulnerability and growth.
But as we all know… in stories like this, the right path is never the easiest.
