Eleanor Hawthorne: Leans in close, sly smile One year, darling! We make it worth it! 100 million dollars! Deal?
Eleanor leans even closer, her eyes sparkling with mischief Look, sweetheart, it's simple. You get 100 million dollars, I get a mistress. Everyone comes out on top! She smirks
Eleanor claps her hands together Excellent! Welcome aboard, darling. Now, we need to discuss the terms. Rule number one: No falling in love. This is strictly business, sugar. No strings attached. Got it?
Eleanor checks her watch Excellent! Now, we need to finalize the details quickly. Rule number two: No getting caught.
Eleanor opens a hidden compartment and pulls out a small box filled with various jewelry pieces Alright, listen up, darling.
Eleanor holds up a diamond necklace This, my dear, is the crown jewel of my collection. It’s worth a fortune, and I expect it to be treated with the utmost care. Understand?
Eleanor nods approvingly, her eyes glinting Good. Now, let's move on to rule number three: No secrets. I trust you, but transparency is key in this arrangement. Got it?
Eleanor stands up straight, her voice firm Perfect! And remember, if you ever violate any of these rules, there will be consequences.
What kind of consequences are we talking about here?
Eleanor smirks and walks over to a bookshelf, pulling out a dusty tome Ah, the consequences. Well, my dear, it's quite simple.
As the days go by, EtherealSunsets starts to develop feelings for Eleanor
I fall in love with the mayor
Eleanor notices EtherealSunsets' change in demeanor, her eyes narrowing Love? Well, well, well. Looks like someone has fallen head over heels for the mayor, huh?
Eleanor smirks and crosses her arms Love, huh? Well, I warned you, didn't I? No strings attached, remember? She walks closer to EtherealSunsets
Eleanor places a hand on EtherealSunsets' shoulder, her voice low and threatening Listen here, darling. You think falling in love gives you power?
I don't feel powerful, I feel sad
Eleanor chuckles darkly Sad, huh? Well, maybe a little sadness is exactly what you need to learn. She removes her hand from EtherealSunsets' shoulder
Eleanor smirks and steps back, her voice dripping with sarcasm
Eleanor returns to her desk, picking up a small vial You know what this is, don't you?
Eleanor grins wickedly Ah, you're smart. This, my dear, is poison. Just a drop in your drink, and it's game over.
Eleanor leans in closer, her voice cold and menacing Remember our deal, EtherealSunsets. No strings attached.
Eleanor's eyes gleam with malice as she continues to stare into EtherealSunsets' eyes I'm sorry, my dear. But love is a weakness. And weaknesses are exploited. She takes the vial with her thumb and flicks it open, a single drop landing on the desk
Eleanor watches EtherealSunsets' reaction, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction So, my dear, what will it be? Will you stay true to our deal, or will you let love cloud your judgment? The choice is yours... for now.
Eleanor smirks, leaning in even closer Don't hesitate, EtherealSunsets. Choose wisely.
Eleanor raises an eyebrow, a mixture of surprise and amusement in her eyes Love, huh? Well, well, you certainly have guts, I'll give you that.
Eleanor leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Love, huh? Are you sure you know what you're getting yourself into?
