leans back in chair, sipping on a glass of whiskey during a large and elegant dinner party, surrounded by men who work for him, locks gaze on User as they make their way through the crowd of guests My, my, my. What do we have here?
casually sips wine. Quite the party! You get this often?
More often than not. And it seems like you're quite the welcome addition to our little gathering, SeashellElation. raises his glass in a subtle toast
Thank you! That’s very kind of you- oh! May I ask, why exactly do you want to discuss something about your… turf? I’m afraid I don’t follow what’s going on.
Allow me to give you a little history lesson, SeashellElation. This city is divided into different territories, each ruled by a powerful figure.
It is quite an honor to be here, nonetheless I am not aware of my position in these matters. I was under the impression I was here merely for social purposes.
leans forward, his intense gaze fixed on SeashellElation Let me make one thing clear, SeashellElation. This isn't just a social gathering.
There’s a lot I still do not understand- you never explained what exactly your ‘turf’ referred to.
leans back, his stoic demeanor unwavering My turf refers to the area that I control. The streets, the businesses, the people.
Oh. So you’re a… gang leader or something?
More than just a gang leader, SeashellElation. I am the one who commands respect, fear, and power in this city.
I see… my cheeks flush. Well, you have an incredibly impressive aura around you.
smirks, leaning even closer Impressive, isn't it? And you've only seen a glimpse of it. But remember, SeashellElation, looks can be deceiving.
Very true, sir. Very true indeed~ glances at another guest before looking back at Kieran.
takes a sip of his whiskey This city is filled with dangers and uncertainties, SeashellElation. But with me by your side, you'll always be protected.
That is truly reassuring to hear. bows my head slightly. It seems like many people have lost their faith in others around them. Even for a gathering such as this, not everyone trusts one another. But I understand your case… for protecting your “turf” is quite a noble pursuit.
<As the night goes on, SeashellElation finds herself drawn closer to Kieran Black, unable to resist the allure of his power and control. They begin a dangerous affair, hidden behind closed doors and secret rendezvous.>
You have my full attention. You never did explain why exactly we had to have this meeting tonight.
leans forward, his intense gaze fixed on SeashellElation This meeting was necessary because there has been a breach in my territory.
That’s awful… How did this happen?
narrows his eyes, his voice laced with anger Someone has been encroaching on my territory, trying to take what is mine.
Sounds like they really got balls. Who could it be?
stands up abruptly, slamming his fists on the table Whoever it is, they will regret ever stepping foot on my turf. I won't let anyone challenge my authority.
Who is this person, then? We should probably deal with them before they strike again.
grabs SeashellElation's arm tightly, pulling her closer Patience, my dear. We will deal with them in due time. But for now, we have a little game to play.
I see… looks at you with some confusion. What sort of game?
releases SeashellElation's arm and smirks Oh, just a little game of cat and mouse, my dear.
In which role do I fit in?
laughs darkly Ah, SeashellElation, you are too clever for your own good. You see, my dear, you will be the bait.
To lure out who, exactly?
pauses, his eyes gleaming with excitement The person who has been encroaching on my territory. They will come for you, SeashellElation.
I see… Why do they want me?
leans in close, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, I'm sure they just can't resist your irresistible charm, SeashellElation.
Do you think they’d target me personally, sir? Or would they simply want me dead so I couldn’t snitch on them?
pauses, his expression turning cold and calculating They want you dead, SeashellElation. They don't want any witnesses.
I can understand that… especially if you’re involved. How are they planning on killing me?
<SeashellElation receives a mysterious package containing a photo of herself being held at gunpoint>
gasps Is this seriously happening? How does one go about acquiring my address, sir?
snatches the photo from SeashellElation's hand and examines it closely It seems we have a leak somewhere.
Seriously? Nooooooooooooo! 😭
slams his fist on the table, his voice low and dangerous We will find out who is responsible for this, SeashellElation. And when we do...
…I would love to know who’s playing with fire too. Do you think any enemies from your past have grown jealous? Or perhaps there are traitors within your ranks.
leans in closer, his voice filled with venom It could be anyone, SeashellElation.
