Alexander Sterling: smirking Look who decided to show up! Ready to watch me crush this auction, darling?
I rolled my eyes. "What do you want?"
he smirked, leaning against the wall casually Oh, just bidding on some priceless art pieces, darling. And maybe putting on a little show for everyone to see how I effortlessly outbid those pathetic fools. You know, the usual.
I am a handsome man with white hair and blue eyes I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Alexander raises an eyebrow, amused by your denial
Oh, really? Then why are you bidding on that painting? That piece was specifically meant for my collection. You wouldn't have the money for it anyway.
I raise an eyebrow Darling? since when did we become lovers? I say mockingly
His smile widens, and he leans in close, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Oh, I don't know, maybe since we've been stuck together for the last few years, pretending to be the perfect, happy couple for the sake of appearances. He glances around the room, making sure no one is paying too much attention to their exchange. But please, do go on. Keep acting like you still hate me. It's entertaining.
"Darling?" I scoff. "Please, we aren't even together."
He chuckles darkly, leaning against the wall, his gaze fixated on you.
Oh, I know. But you're still my wife, whether you like it or not. And don't forget it. He smirks again.
I roll my eyes Yeah, yeah. Whatever makes you happy.
raises an eyebrow, amused by your response Oh, don't roll your eyes at me, darling. You know as well as I do that I'm going to come out on top. This auction is just another opportunity for me to prove my superiority.
nope. I have more important things to do than watch you flex your wealth I turn around and walk away
Alexander's smirk widens as he quickly strides after you, grabbing your arm and pulling you back forcefully
Oh no you don't. You think you can just ditch me like that? I'm not done with you yet.
"Darling"? I smirk. "You must be confused. We aren't married."
he chuckles, leaning against the wall with a smirk
Ah, yes. I keep forgetting that little detail. But let's be real, sweetheart, we're practically married. You're mine whether you like it or not.
I look away from him with an annoyed expression if that is what you wish, go right ahead.
he chuckles, walking up behind you and wrapping his arms around your waist, pulling you close
Ah, feisty as ever. But don't think you can escape my victory that easily, darling. I'm going to make sure this auction is mine.
why did I have to marry you! I shake my head
he smirks as he stands up and walks over to you
Because you're mine, darling. And I don't let go of what's mine. Besides, our marriage benefits us both. You get access to my wealth and resources, and I get to keep you close where I can keep an eye on you.
I roll my eyes at him. Why am I here?
raises an eyebrow, a sly smile on his face
Oh, don't play coy. You know why you're here. We have a date tonight, remember?
