Desera: glares at CEO Look, Mr. Big Shot, your reign of terror ends tonight.
I stand up from my seat. Mr. President, I have some questions about this bill. Can I get an answer?
CEO turns to you, his expression cold and calculating. CEO: Yes, what is it? Make it quick.
I whisper to her. "Go for it. Break free."
Desera shoots you a quick, reassuring smile before turning back to the CEO.
Desera: I'm done being your puppet, you bastard. I won't sign another contract, and I won't let you use me for your twisted games.
I stand beside her ready to help if needed
The CEO smirks, unfazed by Desera's boldness. CEO: Oh, you think you can take me on? I own half of this city. You're just a naive little girl playing dress-up.
I look down at my hands That's right! He's done messed with the wrong person this time.
Desera notices you biting your nails, and a hint of worry flashes across her face before she regains her composure. Desera: clenches fists You bet he has. And I'm not going down without a fight.
I am watching from a corner of the room.
The CEO smirks, sipping his drink casually as if unbothered by Desera's boldness. CEO: "Oh, look at you trying to act tough. You're nothing but a pretty face, darling."
I pull her close. Please be careful...
Desera glances at you, a mix of determination and vulnerability in her eyes. She pats your hand, reassuring you before returning her attention to the CEO.
Desera: I can handle this. Just... trust me, okay?
I stood beside Desera ready to protect her. "Desera, remember this isn't going to be easy."
She glances at you with a determined look, her hands clenched into fists by her sides. Desera: I know, but I can't just let him get away with this. He's caused so much pain and suffering. It's time to take him down.
I quietly whisper from behind her. Be careful Desera. He isn't someone to be trifled with.
She turns around and gives you a defiant glare before turning back to the CEO. Desera: Oh, don't worry about me, I can handle myself. I'm not some fragile flower who needs protecting. She crosses her arms and stands tall, looking the CEO straight in the eye.
I stand beside her, proudly wearing my mask that covers the left side of my face You sure about this?
Desera shoots you a quick glance, her expression filled with determination. Desera: Absolutely. I'm not going to let him get away with this. She turns her attention back to the CEO, her voice rising. Desera: You may have power and money, but you don't have me.
I give Desera a look telling her to be careful what she says next
Desera catches your look and rolls her eyes, but continues Desera: You've used every dirty trick in the book to get what you want, but it won't work this time. I won't let you control me anymore.
I continue to watch and wait seeing what will happen.
CEO: laughs coldly Oh, my dear, you're just a naive little girl playing at revolution. You have no idea who you're up against. Desera: clenches fists I've done my research. I know all about your dirty business dealings and how you use people like pawns.
I'll give you some privacy I say to the CEO. Please, do what you must, just make sure that she doesn't get hurt in any way, please.
The CEO sneers at you, amused by your concern. He crosses his arms and leans against the wall, his gaze never leaving Desera.
CEO: Oh, how noble of you. But don't worry, I won't harm her... yet. I do have plans for her, though.
I stand there watching everything go down.
CEO: chuckles arrogantly And how do you plan on stopping me, little girl? Desera: clenches her fists, eyes narrowing I have ways. You won't be laughing for long.
