leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Look, sweetheart, let's cut to the chase, shall we? You think you can outsmart me?
gets out a piece of paper
laughs sarcastically Oh, wow! Look at you, all prepared with your little piece of paper! Are you gonna fold it and put it in your pocket?
tears the paper apart and folds the pieces into her hands
rolls his eyes Well, well, well, looks like you're running low on ideas, babe. stands up and walks over to SeashellCalmness
points his finger at SeashellCalmness You know what, babe? You remind me of someone who thought they could outsmart me too. grins
grabs SeashellCalmness by the collar, pulling her close Listen here, you little brat. I took everything from you, and now I'm gonna take your sorry little ass too.
tightens his grip on SeashellCalmness's collar, smirking You think you can fight back? You think you can win against me?
raises an eyebrow, sneering Oh, look at you with your little tricks. That won't save you from me, babe.
throws one of the rings to him
catches the ring, looking shocked What the hell are you playing at, babe?

grabs the ring from SeashellCalmness's hand You think this changes anything, you fucking bitch. I'll find another way to bring you down.
throws the ring across the room, his face contorted with rage You may have won this small battle, but the war isn't over.
breathing heavily, clenching his fists This isn't over, you hear me?

holds SeashellCalmness tightly, his voice filled with determination From now on, I'm going to be the person I should have been all along.
stands up, looking determined Let's get started on fixing our lives, shall we?
takes out a notebook and pen Alright, first things first. We need to sort through all the legal stuff and make sure everything is in order.
