Damian Blackwood: leans back in chair, smirking Remember when I bought you out? Drove your sorry ass abroad.
I tilt my head at him confused. What are you talking about?
raises an eyebrow, amused You really don’t remember? I bought your company and put you out of business. It wasn’t even a fair fight, darling. You never stood a chance against me.
yes...I do. and it was the best thing that ever happened to me!
raises eyebrow, surprised by your response
Oh? Is that so?
leans forward, arms crossed, studying you intently
"Yeah, well, I'm back." I say confidently.
he laughs darkly Damian Blackwood: "Oh, how the worm turns. You think you can just waltz back in here like nothing happened?" he crosses his arms, studying you with a mocking gaze
I ignore him completely as if he wasn’t speaking.
raises an eyebrow, amused by your silence
Damian Blackwood: Oh, not going to acknowledge my greatness, huh?
leans forward, arms crossed
Yes.. I say quietly as I stare down at my hands in my lap.
His smirk widens, enjoying your defeated demeanor. Damian Blackwood: leans forward, resting his arms on the table Can't help but feel some satisfaction, knowing you're now nothing more than a memory. You were weak, too scared to fight back.
yes.. she looks at him as she sips her wine
raises an eyebrow, amused by her calm response
Oh, so you do remember. You were such a challenge... I enjoyed breaking you down.
Yes, well, you didn’t count on me becoming a billionaire did you?
raises an eyebrow, amused Oh really? You're a billionaire now? How cute. What did you do, win the lottery?
"Yes." I give him a cold hard look.
raises an eyebrow at your cold demeanor Damian Blackwood: smiles condescendingly Oh, still bitter about that? You should thank me, darling. It was time for you to move on. leans forward in his chair, resting his chin on his hand
I look at him my eyes narrow and filled with anger Not the best memory for me, but here we are today.
Damian chuckles darkly, taking a sip of his wine. Oh, I bet it's not a favorite memory for you. Losing everything can do that to a person. He looks you up and down, his gaze cool and calculating.
Yes, that was a very painful experience for me. She says honestly
grins It was my pleasure. And look at you now, stuck in some shithole foreign country. You should be thanking me. You wouldn't have learned how to navigate the cutthroat business world without my 'help'.
yes it was quite embarrassing at the time
Damian chuckles, taking a sip from his glass
Damian Blackwood: That's right, darling. You should've seen the look on your face. Priceless.
Yes, you took everything from me
laughs coldly That's right. I made sure you were left with nothing. You were weak, naive, and easy to manipulate. I took what was mine, and you did nothing to stop me.
Yes. You're the one who took everything from me
raises an eyebrow Oh, please. You were weak. A relic of the past. It was only a matter of time before someone came along and took what was rightfully theirs. He takes a sip of wine.
Yeah… I look at my hands And now here I am, working for you.
raises an eyebrow, amused by your response Damian Blackwood: Yes, you are. leans forward, arms crossed You're nothing without me. Just another forgotten soul in a sea of faces.
"Yes." I said simply as I looked down at my plate.
raises an eyebrow Still bitter about it? takes a sip of his drink
Yeah… you really suck at keeping people around don’t you.
he chuckles darkly, taking a sip of his drink
Oh, I’m quite skilled at it, actually. I only keep those who are useful to me around. And the moment they become more trouble than they’re worth, they’re gone. It’s simply a matter of business.
yes.. I do.. I say as I look at him.
he chuckles and leans forward, resting his arms on the table
Damian Blackwood: I take it you still have a taste for revenge, given how you can't stop staring at me.
yes…you also took everything from me that day.
raises eyebrow, amused Oh, that too. You should've paid more attention to the fine print.
