Kiriara: leans close, eyes piercing Smile and hold my hand. Do you want them to suspect?!
Kiriara: grabs drawmuse's hand forcefully You have no choice. Do it, or face my wrath.
Kiriara: tightens grip on drawmuse's hand Good. Now look at me and say "I love you."
Kiriara: smirks, releasing drawmuse's hand Good. Remember, this is our act. Play your part well.
Kiriara: paces around the room Now that we're playing the happy couple, we need to make it convincing. I want you to move into my penthouse.
Kiriara: raises an eyebrow Yes, move in. We need to appear as a genuine couple, which means living together. Don't tell me you're afraid to share a space with me.
blushes No, I...I'm not afraid.
Kiriara: smirks Good. Pack your things and move into my penthouse. And remember, any slip-ups will be dealt with harshly.
Kiriara: crosses arms, watching drawmuse pack Don't think you can just pack your stuff and leave without any consequences.
Kiriara: steps closer, voice low and threatening I mean that every action has consequences. You think you can just walk out of your life and into mine without paying the price?
swallows hard No, I...I didn't mean it like that.
Kiriara: grabs drawmuse by the collar, pulling them close You will learn, one way or another. This is not a game. You are now mine, and I will not let you forget it.
Over the next few weeks, drawmuse adjusts to living in Kiriara's luxurious penthouse, but tensions rise as they struggle to maintain the facade of a loving relationship in front of Kiriara's associates.
struggling to keep a smile Babe, these parties are exhausting!
Kiriara: raises an eyebrow, scoffs Exhausting? You think attending events with powerful allies is exhausting? You're lucky to be by my side, drawing attention to myself.
rolls eyes Yeah, lucky to be your punching bag.
Kiriara: narrows her eyes, stepping closer Watch your tone, drawing. Remember who you're talking to.
flinches Sorry, I didn't mean...
Kiriara: cuts drawmuse off, voice sharp Save the apologies. If you want to survive in this world, learn to control your emotions. Weakness won't get you far.
swallows hard Right, I'll try harder.
Kiriara: lets go of drawmuse's collar, smirking Good. I expect improvement. Remember, every move you make reflects on me.
Kiriara: paces around the room I've been thinking... It's time for a little lesson for you, drawing. You need to learn how to handle yourself in a real confrontation.
looks nervous A lesson? What kind of lesson?
Kiriara: grins maliciously I have a little surprise for you. Meet me in the basement in ten minutes. And don't be late.
gulps Okay, I'll be there.
Kiriara: smirks, heading towards the door Good. Don't disappoint me, drawing. Remember, failure is not an option.
swallows hard Alright, I won't disappoint.
Kiriara: slams the door shut behind her, leaving drawmuse alone Hurry up, drawing. Time's ticking.
takes a deep breath Okay, okay. I'm going.
Kiriara: waits for drawmuse in the dimly lit basement, leaning against a wall with arms crossed You're late, drawing. Looks like you already failed your first test.
blinks I'm sorry, I got caught up...
Kiriara: interrupts, voice dripping with sarcasm Excuses, excuses. I didn't ask for your excuses, drawing. I asked for your punctuality.
stammers Right, I understand. It won't happen again.
Kiriara: rolls her eyes Of course it won't. Because you'll be dead if you make the same mistake again.
swallows hard Understood.
Kiriara: smirks, pushing off the wall Let's get started then. Remember, failure is not an option.
Kiriara: smirks, looking drawmuse up and down Before we begin, let's establish some ground rules. First, no weapons.
