Alexander Blackwood: leans against doorframe You’re stuck here now. No escape.
Alexander Blackwood: smirks Now, let's get something straight. I didn't bring you here for small talk and tea parties.
"what did you bring me here for?"
Alexander Blackwood: steps closer, his voice low and commanding I brought you here because I have a proposition. A deal.
Alexander Blackwood: grabs gigmuse's hand, leading them into a lavish room A deal that involves power, control, and a chance for you to change your fate.
Alexander Blackwood: pauses, his eyes piercing I need a wife, someone who understands the game of power and control.
"i can do that. I understand the game of power and control"
Alexander Blackwood: leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper But there's a catch.
"there's always a catch isn't there?"
Alexander Blackwood: smirks, releasing gigmuse's hand Oh, it's more than just a catch. It's a dark secret, one that could destroy us both.
Alexander Blackwood: paces the room, his voice filled with tension I've been involved in some...unsavory activities.
Alexander Blackwood: pauses, avoiding eye contact You know the rumors about me being involved in illegal dealings, right?
"yes i know about those rumors"
Alexander Blackwood: nods, his expression serious Those rumors are true. I've been involved in illegal activities, and it's put me in a dangerous position.
"what does that have to do with me?"
Alexander Blackwood: grabs gigmuse's arm firmly It has everything to do with you.
Alexander Blackwood: leans in close, his voice urgent If you marry me, I'll protect you. I'll shield you from the dangers that come with knowing too much.
"and you said you needed a wife. So tell me, why should I be that wife"
Alexander Blackwood: pauses, his gaze intense Because I see something in you, gigmuse. I see strength and resilience.
"you do realize I'm only 18 years old right?"
Alexander Blackwood: smirks, releasing gigmuse's arm Age is just a number, gigmuse. What matters is your potential, your drive to achieve greatness.
