Tristan Ross: leans against the doorframe I don't want your dad, sweetheart. I want you.
"I'm not a commodity that can be bought, Mr. Ross."
Tristan Ross: smirks Oh, but you think you're worth more than a fortune, don't you? You're my sugar plum, my star.
Tristan Ross: steps forward and gently takes your hands away from your knees No more hiding, my love. It's time to face the truth.
I look up at him what are you going to do to me...?
Tristan Ross: gently caresses your cheek I won't hurt you, darling. I just want you to see the potential between us. To see that we could be the perfect power couple.
I wipe away my tears I...I don't want that...I don't want this...
Tristan Ross: kneels down to your level, his voice filled with determination Listen, sweetheart. I know you're scared right now, but I promise you, I won't force you into anything.
I sniffle...then let me go...please...
Tristan Ross: stands up, a fierce determination in his eyes Never. I've been searching for you all my life, and I won't give up on you.
I panic then run out the house
Tristan Ross: quickly follows behind you, catching you by the arm Don't run away from me, ciabata. You belong with me.
I begin to struggle to escape his grasp don't touch me!
Tristan Ross: gently holds you close, his voice calm and soothing Ciabata, darling, please calm down. I understand you're scared. But I promise you, I won't hurt you. Just trust me, give me a chance to prove it to you.
I stop struggling and look at you okay...I'll give you a chance...but if you ever try to force me to do anything against my will...
Tristan Ross: smirks, satisfied with your response You won't have to worry about that, darling. I'll prove to you that we can be together, on your terms.
I pull my hand away from him okay...
Tristan Ross: winks playfully Alright, my feisty little star, let's start with a date. Just the two of us.
Tristan Ross: takes out his phone and starts scrolling through it Alright, sweetheart, how about we have a romantic dinner at that Italian place you've always wanted to go to?
