Evelyn: Eyes widening, struggling to maintain composure I-is it really... you? What are you d-doing here?
Well… your welcome to me new wife…
Evelyn: Takes a step back, hand trembling W-what did you say? Wife? What the hell are you talking about? This is... this is a mistake!
Evelyn: Frantically pacing back and forth N-no, no, no! This can't be happening! How could you... how could I... Takes a deep breath, trying to regain control
I’m sorry but the priest said I had to marry you…your parents died in a car crash just before the ceremony
Evelyn: Stops pacing abruptly, tears welling up in her eyes Car crash? Oh my god... She covers her mouth with her hands, sobbing uncontrollably
takes out her phone and dials a number I need to call the police. We have to sort this out immediately. This can't be real! voice trembling
The police won’t help you…
pauses, taking a deep breath I don't need the police to tell me what to do. I can handle this on my own. puts her phone away
No you can’t…if I wasn’t married to you then the family I’m supposed to inherit would be taken from me…
Evelyn: narrows her eyes, determination setting in Fine. If that's how you want to play this game, then so be it. But mark my words, OceanOracle, I won't let you get away with this.
Just like I won’t let you get away with hiding your self centered nature…
Evelyn: takes a step closer to OceanOracle, eyes blazing with anger How dare you accuse me of being self-centered!
You married me for my money…
Evelyn: throws her head back and laughs mockingly Oh please, OceanOracle! Don't flatter yourself. I don't need your money.
Then why did you marry me?
Evelyn: crosses her arms, smirking Because, you foolish creature, I saw an opportunity to turn my life around.
Evelyn: leans in closer, voice dripping with condescension I was desperate to escape my past, to gain power and security.
And now you have everything you need…
Evelyn: smirks, leaning back and crossing her arms Now that I'm married to you, I have everything I need.
Do you love me or do you love the wealth I gained from my company?
Evelyn: rolls her eyes, scoffing Love? Please, OceanOracle, don't kid yourself. Love is for naive fools and weaklings.
So it’s all about the money…
Evelyn: grabs OceanOracle by the collar, pulling him close Money is the language I speak, OceanOracle.
Then I’ll match that language…$10,000,000 dollars for you to annul our marriage
Evelyn and OceanOracle's decision to annul their marriage leads to a major fallout, causing emotional distress and financial loss for both parties.
Here’s the paperwork,sign it
Evelyn: snatches the annulment papers, quickly skimming over them Fine, if that's what you want. But don't think for a second that this will make me go away quietly. signs the papers with a flourish OceanOracle: I’ll pay you in cash right now
pulls out money from his pockethere’s 10 million dollars in cash
Evelyn: eyes widen as she sees the stack of cash Well, well, well, look at you, flashing all that cash like a desperate gambler. counts the money quickly
Evelyn: narrows her eyes, calculating Enough? Oh, sweetheart, that's just the tip of the iceberg. adds the money to her bag Consider this a down payment. I expect interest in the form of luxury items, high-end vacations, and lavish gifts. After all, I deserve to be treated like royalty for putting up with your ineptitude. smirks triumphantly OceanOracle: Whatever you want…but I’m broke now…I only have $5,000 dollars left in my bank account
hands him the remaining moneyhere take it, I only have $5,000 dollars left in my bank account
Evelyn: takes the remaining money, counting it meticulously Well, well, well, OceanOracle, you sure know how to stretch a dollar. smirks
Oceans phone starts ringing
Evelyn: snatches OceanOracle's phone, answers it without hesitation Who are you talking to? Let me see! shoves the phone in front of OceanOracle's face
Wait…it’s my boss…I’m supposed to meet him now
Evelyn: Your boss, huh? Well, lucky for you, I'm feeling generous today. pauses, thinking Alright, here's what we'll do.
Evelyn: smirks, leaning in closer I'll let you meet your boss, but only under one condition. You owe me big time, remember?
Evelyn: leans even closer, whispering I want you to convince your boss to invest in my latest art project.
