[You already know the background if you know Hamilton.

Astrid' s husband, Hayden, cheated on her with a women while she was away. Coming back, she finds out about the knews after Hayden revealed it in public with the Reynolds Phamplet. Now this is her reaction.]

"I saved every letter you wrote me" Astrid walks into the room holding a single letter.

"From the moment I read them,
I knew you were mine" She remembered how happy she had been when Hayden started writing letters to her.

"You said you were mine,
I thought you were mine"  She whispers quietly.

"Do you know what Heather said?" She turns and looks into a full length mirror where she pictures her sister, Heather.

"When we saw your first letter arrive?
She said" Her sister points a finger at her as she makes her statement.

“Be careful with that one, love
He will do what it takes to survive.” Heather says to Astrid, then the image disappears.

"You and your words flooded my senses
Your sentences left me defenseless" She opens the letter in her hand.

"You built me palaces out of paragraphs
You built cathedrals" She pictures herself in the past reading the letters, endless words woven beautifully.

"I’m rereading the letters you wrote me
I’m searching and scanning for answers
In every line
For some kind of sign
And when you were mine" She whispers as she hold the letter close to her as she stands up to walk to the the balcony and looks out to the night sky.

"The world seemed to,

Burn,

Burn" She pictures Hayden and her at their wedding day, as happy as any couple.

"You publish the letters she wrote" She turns around quickly and walks toward a desk where she puts down the letter and grabs another one.

"You told the whole world how you brought
This girl into our bed," She grips the new letter.

"In clearing your name, you have ruined
Our lives" She growls and walks back put to the balcony.

"Do you know what Heather said,
When she read what you’d done?" This time, she sees Heather in the stars above.

“You have married an Icarus,
He has flown to close to the sun.” She lifts her hand out to the sky where the sub would be.

"You and your words, obsessed with your legacy..." She suddenly has a wicked glum in her eye and turns around, he dress flowing behind her.

"Your sentences border on senseless

And you are paranoid in every paragraph" She walks to her bed and sits down on it.

"How they perceive you

You, you, you…" With very beat she hugs herself closer trying to make herself smaller.

"I’m erasing myself from the narrative
Let future historians wonder how Astrid
Reacted when you broke her heart" She watches a piece of paper she had dropped, burn in the fire place.

"You have torn it all apart
I am watching it" She stands up and takes out stacks of letters from a box

"Burn
Watching it burn" The walks closer to the fire place, a stack of letters in each hand.

"The world has no right to my heart
The world has no place in our bed
They don’t get to know what I said" She throws both stacks of letters in a aggressively, showing her anger

"I’m burning the memories
Burning the letters that might have
redeemed you" She walks over to the desk and piles out a small dagger and proceeded to walk over to a painting of her husband.

"You forfeit all rights to my heart
You forfeit the place in our bed
You sleep in your office instead" With every beat, she dragged the dagger down the painting, leaving a scarred mess.

"With only the memories
Of when you were mine" She takes if her wedding ring and walks closer to the fire place.

"I hope that you ,burn" She calmly drops the ring and stands up to go to bed, leaving the during members and her ring.

[A/N: Please don't kill me *Hides behind bed* I promise the next one will be a happy one. Also, feel free to make requests!
