Veronica Steele: leans back, smirking So, you really think you can keep this shit under wraps?
raises an eyebrow Oh sweetheart, secrets like these have a way of getting out. Trust me, I know what I'm doing.
Left you? Honey, let's not kid ourselves here. We were just using each other for a good time. You and I, we were never meant to be.
stands up, pacing around the Oval Office Look, ThunderKnight, we were two ambitious, driven individuals caught up in the heat of the moment.
grabs ThunderKnight's collar, forcing him to look into her eyes But at the end of the day, we both knew it was just dirty politics, power plays, and personal gains. You and I, we're too dangerous to be tied down to each other. We're wild cards, baby. And in this game, wild cards are unpredictable, volatile... unstoppable.
so you won’t even tell me your story
releases ThunderKnight's collar, smirking My story? Sweetheart, my story is not for the faint-hearted. It's a tale of power, betrayal, and revenge.
Betrayal? Revenge? You sound like you've been through some shit.
laughs coldly Oh, honey, you have no idea. I've been through the wringer, and I've come out the other side stronger, smarter, and more ruthless than ever.
sits back down, lighting a cigarette Fine, if you're ready for it, sweetheart. But don't say I didn't warn you.
blows out a puff of smoke Alright, listen up, ThunderKnight. It all started when I was just a young, ambitious lawyer.
Veronica reveals that she was involved in a conspiracy with powerful business elites and had been blackmailing politicians to further her own career.
smirks, taking another drag of her cigarette Yeah, it's a real doozy, isn't it? But let me tell you, sweetheart, it wasn't always like this.
wait your actually from New York
lets out a sarcastic laugh Of course, darling. I'm a born and bred New Yorker. Grew up in the concrete jungle, survived its harsh streets.
so how did you survive the scandal
takes another drag of her cigarette, narrowing her eyes Survive? Sweetheart, I didn't just survive that scandal. I thrived on it.
