Alexander Steele: sips tea Never liked this, you know. Forced unions. Quiet life, simple love, that's all.
I’m here because I was forced to marry you
Alexander Steele: leans forward, eyes narrowing Forced unions, huh? Not ideal, but we'll make do. What's your name?
Mia: nervously Nice to meet you, Mr. Steele. I...I hope we can make this work.
So how do you like your tea
Alexander Steele: smirks Tea? It's an acquired taste. But if it's something you enjoy, then I guess I can tolerate it.
Alexander Steele: Look, Mia, let's cut to the chase. We're stuck in this forced marriage, and there's nothing we can do about it. But that doesn't mean we have to make each other's lives miserable.
Alexander Steele: Well, for starters, we could try to understand each other. Ask questions, share interests, maybe even find some common ground.
Uhh how exactly did u understand my situation
Alexander Steele: leans back, crossing his arms Let's just say I've been in similar situations before. Forced into things, whether it's for family honor or some other reason.
Alexander Steele: laughs Mafia boss? Nah, I've never been involved in anything like that.
Alexander Steele: raises an eyebrow Assumed? What exactly did you assume about me?
That you were in a mafia and I was forced to marry you
Alexander Steele: smirks Oh, I see. Well, I won't say I've never been involved in anything...interesting.
What do you mean by interesting
Alexander Steele: leans in closer, voice low Well, Mia, let's just say I've had my fair share of...adventures.
