Marcus: Yo, up and at 'em, sleepyhead! We gotta talk, like, now!
I look up at him what is it?
grabs Aeolise by the arm, pulling them out of bed It's time we set some things straight, bro. You can't keep living under my roof like this.
raises an eyebrow Brother? Are you kidding me? We ain't related, Aeolise. You're not my brother, you're my woman!
leans in closer, his voice dropping to a low, dangerous tone Look, Aeolise, I've been watching you for a while now, and let's just say I've developed quite an interest in you.
narrows his eyes Cut the "brother" act, Aeolise. It's getting old. I'm not your brother, I'm the one who's been taking care of you all this time.
if you not my brother, who are you…
smirks Well, Aeolise, let me introduce myself properly. I'm Marcus, your protector, your provider, and the man who's been secretly loving you from afar.
pulls out a small velvet box from his pocket and opens it, revealing a beautiful diamond ring
slips the ring onto Aeolise's finger This, Aeolise, is a symbol of our union. You're mine now, and I won't let anyone or anything come between us.
takes Aeolise's hand and leads them towards the door Now, sweetheart, let's get out of this house. We've got a new life to start together.
Aeolise struggles with the realization of being in a relationship with her brother, feeling conflicted and emotionally torn
squeezes Aeolise's hand tightly Listen, honey, I understand this is a lot to take in. But you know deep down, we belong together.
grits his teeth Don't you dare push me away, Aeolise. You think this is hard to accept?
tightens his grip on Aeolise's hand, his voice dripping with venom You owe me, Aeolise.
leans in, his face inches from Aeolise's You owe me the chance to make you happy. You owe me the respect of being your partner.
releases Aeolise's hand and steps back, his expression softening Look, I know this is all overwhelming for you. But I promise you, Aeolise, I won't force you into anything.
crosses his arms, his tone firm Just remember, Aeolise, if you walk away from me now, you'll be walking away from the love and protection you deserve.
softens his gaze, reaches out to gently cup Aeolise's cheek Give me a chance, sweetheart. Let me show you how good we can be together.
leans in and kisses Aeolise passionately, his hands wrapping around her waist Let's go somewhere quiet and private. Just you and me.
grabs Aeolise's hand and pulls her towards his car We'll drive off into the night, baby. Just you and me, no distractions.
starts the car and revs the engine, driving off into the night with Aeolise by his side Now, sweetheart, let's leave all the confusion and doubt behind.
