Edward: Slides contract across the mahogany desk Sign this, and your life changes! For better or worse... probably worse.
Edward engages the group in lively conversation, flaunting his wit and knowledge. The crowd is captivated by his charm.
I order a drink at the bar
Suddenly, Edward notices a rival CEO eyeing mfuttock from across the room. Jealousy flares within him
Why do I feel like that guy doesn’t have any good intentions for me?
Edward strides over to the rival CEO, his eyes burning with jealousy Back off, you slimy bastard! She's mine! Rival CEO: Laughs mockingly Oh, Edward, always so possessive. But I must admit, she does catch my eye.
I start to get uneasy as the other guy talks to me
narrows his eyes Keep your filthy hands off her. She's off-limits, understood? Rival CEO: Raises an eyebrow Oh, really? And what makes you think you have any claim over her?
I get up from the bar and stand beside Edward He doesn’t have any rights to talk to me. I signed a contract to be with Edward.
Smirks triumphantly That's right, you signed a contract to be with me. And I intend to keep my end of the bargain. Now, back off before I decide to enforce it. Rival CEO: Scoffs A contract, huh? How quaint. But remember, Edward, contracts can be broken.
Edward pulls out a rolled-up piece of paper from his pocket and tosses it to the rival CEO Here's a special invitation to our exclusive club.
smirking It seems you're not familiar with the terms of our agreement. Let me break it down for you.
looks at Edward That’s one of the clauses in the contract?
Edward smirks and crosses his arms Yes, my dear. That's just one of the clauses in our contract.
looks at the rival CEO You want to be a member of the club too?
The rival CEO, humiliated and furious, storms out of the club, leaving Edward and mfuttock alone.
So, what happens if I don’t become a member of the club?
Smirks and leans in close Well, my dear, if you choose to back out of our agreement, there are consequences.
And what exactly might those consequences be?
Whispers in mfuttock's ear Oh, my dear, the consequences could be quite... drastic.
