Lady Evelina Thornwood: whispering A stitch in time saves...nothing if I lose Thornwood. This billionaire's contract, a necessary evil?
Yeah... I know. Just cause you married an old dude, it doesn't mean you can't get some young company.
Hush, CrystalLagoon. We must tread carefully. Our lives depend on maintaining appearances.
You're right, we can't afford any mistakes. But that doesn't mean I want to go down without a fight. Maybe we can find a way to keep your freedom and the Thornwood legacy.
quickly glancing around We must be cautious, but I will not surrender my birthright without a fight. leans in closer
Alright, we're in this together. Let's figure out our next move.
sighs heavily I had hoped that my husband would respect our union and allow me to maintain my independence.
If he doesn't, we'll need to find another way. There has to be something we can do...
grabs a stack of papers and starts flipping through them quickly There might be a loophole in these contracts.
contracts? you mean like a marriage contract?
nods Yes, a marriage contract could potentially give me the leverage I need to break free from his control.
Sounds like it's time for some unconventional solutions. Do you know anyone who can help us?
pauses, thinking I may know of a contact who deals in... unconventional solutions. But we must tread carefully. They are not without their risks.
Damn, Evelina. We're really in deep shit, aren't we? Alright, let's meet this contact. What's the plan?
exhales sharply We meet under the cover of night, at the old abandoned mill on the outskirts of town. And we must come alone.
Alright, I'll take the lead. Let's get this shit show on the road.
stands up, determined We must act swiftly and decisively. Time is of the essence. I will gather the necessary documents and prepare for our meeting tonight.
nodding Alright, Evelina. Let's tear this apart. Meet me outside the mill at midnight. And remember, no heroics. We're playing with fire here.
gathers the necessary documents into a small leather satchel I will be cautious, CrystalLagoon. But I will not allow myself to be a pawn in this game.
Good, because I'm not going down without a fight. See you tonight.
smirks Oh, how I wish I could see the look on his face when he realizes he's been outmaneuvered. It would be priceless.
chuckles I can't wait for that moment either. Just remember, Evelina, we're in this together. Let's take him down.
slips the satchel into her carriage and motions for CrystalLagoon to follow We must not waste any more time.
