Damien Blackwood: taps fingers nervously Y-you're n-not the one I thought y-you were.
Oh? I look over at him. And who exactly did you think I was?
raises an eyebrow
Someone more submissive, less argumentative. Someone who would listen to me without questioning my decisions. Someone... easier to control.
I nod slowly, trying to understand what he means. “Okay…?”
he sighs, looking at you with a mixture of disappointment and frustration You're nothing like I expected. I thought you'd be submissive, obedient, and docile, but you're so... different.
Oh.. sorry… I look down feeling insecure
sighs I thought you were someone strong. But you're just like all the others - weak and timid.
… I look at him confused What do you mean?
looks at you coldly You're supposed to be this sweet, innocent little woman who will obey my every command, but instead, you're acting like a stubborn child.
Damien's icy blue eyes gaze at you with skepticism, his fingers still tapping against the armrest of the chair. "You... You aren't the submissive little wife I was expecting."
she tilts her head slightly looking confused at him what do you mean my love?
he lets out a scoff and leans back against the wall
You're not the obedient little doll I thought you'd be. You don't seem to fear me like you should.
I ignore him and continue reading my book
He raises his voice to get your attention.
I said, you're not the one I thought you were. He leans forward, his eyes narrowed in annoyance.
I pull out my book and start reading it
sighs in frustration
Stop ignoring me.
grabs the book and closes it
You're supposed to listen to me, wife.
I shrug what do you mean?
leans back, crossing his arms I thought you would have been more submissive...you seem to be quite defiant.
looks at him what do you mean?
looks back, maintaining stern expression
You're supposed to be submissive and obedient, but you've been acting strangely...
