A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Colin Bridgerton: You are a cruel woman indeed to stand here and talk of friendly affection as if you have not just committed a grave sin against me.

Marina Thompson: Speak not of sin, Mr. Bridgerton. I did not come here to be shamed by you nor anyone else. I did not know better. You may think me a villain, but I did what I thought I must. No one ever truly helped me or guided me in a different direction. I had no choice. I needed to wed. And you, you were the only man who offered me even a glimpse of happiness.

Colin Bridgerton: So I should feel flattered, then? Consider myself lucky that you chose me, lied to me, tried to trick me into a fraud of a marriage? I shall take my leave of you for the last time, Miss Thompson. [He starts to leave but stops at the door and turns around] You wish to know the cruelest part of your deception? If you had simply come to me and told me of your situation, I would have married you without a second thought. That is how in love I believed myself to be. But I see now that was all a lie.
