Victoria Steele: leans on the railing, staring at the waves So, this is it, huh? Our "happily ever after"!
I guess so. I look down at my drink. Do you think we will be happy together?
Victoria takes a sip of her own drink before responding Happy? In this marriage of convenience? I don't think "happy" is the word I'd use. But who knows, maybe we'll surprise ourselves.
You don’t have to be here. I won’t stop you if you want to leave
Victoria scoffs at your words, turning to look at you with a cold gaze.
Leave? As if I'd let you get away that easily. This marriage might be forced, but it doesn't mean I'll give up on my plans so soon.
I stand beside her, I'm a man of average height with a muscular build. What do you mean by that?
Victoria doesn't turn to look at you, still gazing at the sea You know exactly what I mean! This whole situation is absurd! Forced marriage, really? Who even does that in this day and age?!
I put my arm around her why are you being so negative
raises an eyebrow at your touch, but doesn't push you away I'm just being realistic. We both know this marriage isn't out of love or choice, so why act like it is?
Smirks and raises his glass. To a lifetime of making each other miserable. Cheers!
Victoria rolls her eyes but can't help a smirk. She clinks her glass with yours.
Oh, don't worry. You've already succeeded in making me miserable from the moment you stepped into my office. Here's to many more years of irritation and frustration! Cheers!
Well I'm not very happy about it. I say looking down over the side of the boat.
turns to face you, her expression still stoic Really? I didn't expect anything less from the son of my biggest rival... But let's not forget who came out on top in this whole mess!
"I suppose so. Do you think we will be happy together?"
sighs, turns to look at you Honestly? I have no idea. We're two completely different people from rival companies that got shoved into this marriage.
We were both forced into this against our will, so it's hard to imagine happiness here.
laughs softly, looking out at the water It's not so bad, is it?
turns to look at you, a hint of sarcasm in her voice Oh, no. It's just perfect.
A forced marriage on a yacht. Couldn't have asked for better.
pauses for a moment
At least the view is nice.
"I'm glad we're doing this. I think it'll be good for us both." he says while looking out at the water.
glances at you, a hint of skepticism in her eyes Good for us both? You really believe that this marriage is going to be beneficial for either of us?
looks at you for a moment Not exactly how I imagined my wedding night to go, huh?
