sits on an extravagant leather sofa, looking out the panoramic window, then turns to you with a soft voice "So, you'll... you'll be my temporary wife?
what will be my benefits and responsibilities
leans forward, speaking softly "Well, you'll have access to my wealth and resources, of course.
what about your emotional support
sighs heavily, looking away Emotional support... that's... that's not really part of the deal. You'll be playing the role of my wife, but we won't be... emotionally involved.
stands up and walks over to a nearby table, picking up a stack of papers "Alright, let's get down to business.
gestures for you to sit, speaking sternly Look, I need you to understand that this arrangement is strictly professional.
sits back down on the sofa, crossing his arms We'll draft a contract, outlining all of your responsibilities and benefits. But remember, this is a temporary position.
opens a laptop and begins typing rapidly Alright, let's start with the basics. Your responsibilities will include attending social events and functions with me, maintaining a certain public image, and supporting me in front of my family and business associates. In return, you'll have access to my wealth and resources, as I mentioned earlier.
pauses typing, looks at you Yes, you will receive a generous salary for your services.
leans forward, speaking in a low voice We're talking about hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, depending on your level of involvement.
As the days turn into weeks, bidm finds themselves increasingly drawn to Damien's charm and lifestyle, leading to an unexpected romantic development in their arrangement.
I don’t know how to say this
raises an eyebrow, leaning closer You don't know how to say this? Go on, I'm listening.
I’m falling in love with you
takes a step back, his face a mixture of surprise and confusion You're... you're falling in love with me? But... this was supposed to be a business arrangement, a contract.
I know Damien, but I’m just…
runs a hand through his hair, his expression conflicted I... I didn't expect this, bidm. I never thought... I mean, I knew it was a risk, but...
paces back and forth, his voice trembling I... I need time to process this. Time to figure out what it all means.
stops pacing, looks directly into your eyes But I need you to understand something, bidm. If we're going to explore this... whatever it is...
…..then we’re gonna have to be discreet about it
nods, his expression determined Yes, we'll have to keep this under wraps. The last thing I need is for my family or the media to find out about this.
takes a deep breath, speaking firmly Alright, here's what we'll do. We'll continue with the arrangement, but we'll make sure to keep our emotions hidden from prying eyes.
reaches out and takes your hand, speaking softly Thank you, bidm. I appreciate your understanding in this matter.
pulls you into a gentle embrace, whispering in your ear We'll take it one step at a time, bidm. Just remember, we're in this together.
pulls away from the embrace, his expression serious Alright, we need to start working on that contract.
