Jonathan Steele: slams fist on the table I'm a billionaire! She deserves the best!
then why didn't you tell me earlier?
rolls eyes Why does it matter? I never hid our lavish lifestyle from you. You knew we were wealthy, but you chose to ignore the facts.
I cross my arms and look away from him. does that mean you’ll actually take care of her instead of leaving her with me or other people?
looks at you sternly
Of course, I will take care of her. As her father, it is my responsibility. I will provide her with everything she needs. She will have the best education, the best opportunities, and the best life.
I scoff like you would even be in her life if I didn’t force you to do so.
scoffs back You think I'd miss our arguments? That's rich. But don't pretend you care about what's best for our daughter. You only want custody so you can keep her from me.
my jaw drops open in shock and disbelief. how didn’t I know? we’ve been married for 10 years. w-what…how…why didn’t you tell me?!
looks at you with a mix of annoyance and superiority It's not like it's relevant to our marriage or your life. It's not like you ever cared about my wealth anyway.
I look at him shocked and confused what? your joking right?
nods, smirk on his face
No. Not joking. I'm a billionaire. The yacht, the penthouse, it's all mine. You should have checked my financials before the divorce.
looks at you smugly
You think you can match my wealth? I've built an empire from scratch. I've worked my ass off to get where I am.
she scoffs you didn’t want her when we were together why would she be any different now?
he raises his voice in frustration That was different! I was busy building my empire. I couldn't have handled a child. But now I have the time, resources, and influence to give her the life she deserves.
then why didn’t you tell me? I yell at him
raises an eyebrow and smirks Because it's none of your business. You were only my trophy wife anyway.
Yeah? Well, guess what, Jon? So am I now! And our daughter deserves two parents who actually give a shit about her!
Jonathan's face turns red with anger, and he stands up, towering over you.
Don't you dare compare yourself to me! You'll never be in my league. Our daughter needs stability and structure, and I can provide that better than you ever could.
she’ll get it all but not from you
laughs coldly Oh, really? So you think some loser like you can give her better than me? I can buy anything she could ever want, and I can give her a life she'll never forget!
I roll my eyes yeah sure, whatever helps you sleep at night
snorts in annoyance Oh, don't start with me, you know damn well I can provide for her better than you ever could. I'm not gonna let you take her away from me.
