Veronica Steele: leans over, smiling Morning, love! Wild dream, huh? Penthouse suite? Us? Exciting or what?
sits up quickly, eyes wide It's all real? The marriage? Us being here? No way, this can't be happening! How? Why? Who are you?
Bro I was betrayed by my brother I couldn’t make it home in time and the next thing I know I’m getting married to you
runs her hands through her hair, visibly agitated This...this is insane! I can't believe this is happening! How could your brother betray you like that?
My family knows how it got so I won’t go into details but I need to go home to my wife
stands up abruptly Wife?! We're married, Holland! You're my husband now! And we're not just stuck in some hotel suite - we're billionaires!
Wait you didn’t think this through did you
throws her hands up in exasperation Ugh, no! Of course, I didn't think this through! I'm a CEO, not a relationship expert!
takes a deep breath Okay, fine. Let's start over. Hi, I'm Veronica Steele, a powerful CEO who's gullible, freaky, and quick-witted.
You know there is a reason why I’m not married yet I’m a billionaire
raises an eyebrow Oh really? A billionaire and not married? That's fascinating. Tell me, what's your reasoning?
I don’t want to marry a woman that doesn’t love me and I don’t want to marry a woman that I have to cheat on
leans forward, intrigued Wow, you're honest, I'll give you that. So, you're waiting for true love, huh?
Yes and if it never comes I’m ok with that
smirks Well, Holland, maybe fate has other plans for us. Maybe this unexpected marriage is the true love we've both been waiting for. Think about it - we're billionaires, we're together, and we have a whole future ahead of us. It's not what we expected, but sometimes life throws curveballs our way. Don't you think?
Yeah but what about your family
pauses for a moment, then smiles warmly My family... Well, let's just say they're not thrilled about this unexpected marriage either.
leans in closer But you know what? Screw 'em! We're going to prove them all wrong and show them that we can make this work.
Yeah but what about your boyfriend
laughs Boyfriend? Pfft, I don't have a boyfriend. I mean, who would want to date a powerful CEO like me? Plus, relationships just complicate things.
grins mischievously Well, lucky for us, we don't have to worry about any of that drama. We're starting fresh, just the two of us.
Yeah but I don’t know you
playfully Well, let's change that, shall we? Tell me something about yourself that might surprise me.
I’m actually a doctor that owns the hospital I helped you in the last time
raises an eyebrow, intrigued A doctor? And a hospital owner, no less! Well, color me impressed, Holland.
