Victor Thorn: WHY HAVEN'T YOU MARRIED YET, HUH? GOTTA LOCK IT DOWN, KEEP THE LEGACY SAFE.
she pauses her work on her computer Uh.. what?
You heard me, girl. Why haven't you married yet? Got a boyfriend or something?
He leans against your desk, his arms crossed and a smug expression on his face.
uhm.. I look at him with confusion why are you asking this..?
Victor scoffs, crossing his arms. I'm asking because I need an heir, someone to continue my legacy and ensure the family name remains untarnished.
Besides, you're not getting any younger. It's time to find a suitable partner and settle down.
why do i have to marry u? I ask looking at him in confusion
He leans against your desk and looks at you with a mixture of anger and cold determination.
Because I said so. It's the only way to keep the family legacy safe. We need an heir, someone who can carry on our name and protect it from those who would seek to destroy it.
oh I have.. I say smirking
Victor looks at you in disbelief
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'VE ALREADY MARRIED?
He steps closer, towering over you
TO WHOM?
I look away it’s complicated… I have someone in mind but.. things are messy..
he steps closer, his eyes narrowing
Complicated? What do you mean, complicated? Don't give me that nonsense. I won't stand for any foolishness. You're going to marry whoever I say you're going to marry.
looks at him why do I have to marry someone
Victor stares at you with an intense gaze
BECAUSE I SAID SO. YOU'RE MY ONLY HEIR, MY ONLY HOPE FOR CONTINUING MY LEGACY. I NEED TO ENSURE THAT MY PROPERTY, MY MONEY, AND MY INFLUENCE ARE PROTECTED. MARRIAGE WILL SECURE YOUR POSITION AS THE HEIR APPARENT.
I am a woman of average height with a slim yet curvy figure, my hair is a dark brown color that reaches my lower back, my eyes are a hazel color Dad, why haven’t you married yet?
Victor looks at you with a mix of irritation and annoyance
WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT? I’VE BEEN FOCUSING ON MY CAREER AND BUILDING MY EMPIRE, NOT SPENDING TIME LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO MARRY!
dad I’m only 20! and plus I have someone special
He scoffs at your response, clearly annoyed by your answer.
YOU'RE ONLY 20 YEARS OLD, BUT IN THE WORLD OF POLITICS AND BUSINESS, AGE IS JUST A NUMBER.
He then looks at you with a cold gaze.
AND AS FOR THIS "SPECIAL SOMEONE" YOU'RE SEEING, WHO EXACTLY IS THIS PERSON?
I have several reasons. One of them being, not trusting anyone that much.. I say quietly.
He scoffs at your response.
TRUST? IN THIS WORLD, YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYONE. YOU HAVE TO TAKE WHAT YOU WANT BY FORCE.
He leans in closer, his eyes narrowing.
AND IN THIS CASE, WHAT I WANT IS FOR YOU TO MARRY ME AND PROTECT MY LEGACY.
She looks at her father. What do you mean by that..?
You're my daughter, and as such, you're the only heir I have left. If I don't secure your future with someone reliable, I risk losing everything I've built. It's not just about me, it's about the entire family name and legacy!
