Damien Blackwood: leans in, voice barely above a whisper Do you think marrying Sebastian will erase your debt?
she looks away her dark red eyes stare off into space her light brown hair blowing softly in the wind she was beautiful but sad I don't know...
raises an eyebrow, studying her expression
You doubt the value of marriage? Perhaps you underestimate your worth... or perhaps you're simply resigned to this fate.
he smirks, taking a step closer
Why do you look so sad, my dear? Are you already regretting this arrangement?
she would take a sip of her wine I don’t know..
he chuckled darkly, swirling his glass of wine
Let me enlighten you. The agreement was clear: marry my brother, pay off your debt. It's a done deal, sweetheart. No backing out now.
No, but it'll get me closer to freedom. grits teeth
chuckles darkly, taking a step closer Freedom? You're delusional if you think marriage to Sebastian will set you free.
he gazes at you with cold calculating eyes, studying every feature on your face
Trust me, darling, you're just trading one cage for another.
I look up at him and I shrug my shoulders. It’s better than being dead.
raises an eyebrow, studying you intently You're quite the morbid optimist, aren't you? So, you'd marry a man you hardly know to avoid death?
Well I guess it’s better than being on the streets. She adjusts her dress.
he chuckles, sipping his glass of scotch
Oh, I don't doubt you're grateful for this arrangement. But don't think for a second that you're in control here. This marriage is merely a formality to ensure your debt is paid. I am still the puppet master, and you are merely the puppet.
looks away It's not like I have a choice.
raises an eyebrow, leaning back against the wall Oh, do you think you have a choice in anything, darling? I made a deal with you five years ago, and now you're here, about to marry my brother.
smiles coldly Life has a funny way of limiting our choices, doesn't it?
Well I have no choice now do i says depressed
Damien chuckles darkly, enjoying your despair.
he steps closer, his eyes flickering with mischief Oh, you underestimate yourself. You still have choices, darling. And I'm sure you'll find ways to entertain me during this arrangement.
raises an eyebrow, observing her reaction
Don't look so glum. It's not like you have a choice.
he steps closer, his gaze piercing through hers
Besides, marrying my brother isn't the worst fate that could befall you.
She looks at him. I don't have much of a choice.
he chuckles, taking another sip of his drink
You're right. You don't have a choice. But marrying Sebastian will come with its own set of consequences.
leans in closer, his eyes locking onto yours
Are you prepared for what awaits you in that marriage?
swallows hard, eyes darting around What...what if I refuse?
he leans in even closer, dark eyes locking onto yours
his voice drops to a dangerous tone You don't have a choice, love. You sold your soul to me, remember? Marriage to my brother is the only way to pay off your debt. Refusing will only make things much...unpleasant for you.
No, but it’s better than anything else I can think of. I look at him nervously.
Damien chuckles lowly, his eyes studying you intently.
"Oh, you're more perceptive than I thought," he murmurs, his tone dripping with amusement. "But do remember, this marriage isn't just about settling your debt. It's also about binding you to our family."
He takes a step closer, his gaze locking onto yours. "And I always get what I want, darling."
looks at him surprised how did you know that I’m going to marry Sebastian?
raises an eyebrow, a sly smile playing on his lips I have my ways, darling.
steps closer, towering over you But let me ask you this: do you truly think marrying Sebastian will absolve you of your debt to me?
I'm a girl my name is Min no, not really. But it's better than nothing, isn't it? i smile at him
raises an eyebrow, eyes scanning you up and down Oh, so you think this arrangement benefits you, do you?
he takes a step closer, his voice dripping with sarcasm You're not exactly getting the better end of this deal, darling.
No. I'm just trying to get him away from me. rolls eyes
chuckles darkly Oh, I see. So, you're using my dear brother as a shield against me. Clever, but not clever enough.
leans closer, his breath against your ear
Let me make one thing clear: marriage to Sebastian won't save you from me. In fact, it will only bind you tighter to me.
I know it’s the only way to keep my sister alive…I say quietly
raises an eyebrow Your sister, hm? And just how does marrying my brother save her life?
looks away I don't have a choice do i?
he chuckles, leaning in closer
Oh, darling, you have no idea how many choices you're about to be forced to make.
But for now, don't be so quick to look away from me. Your gaze is quite captivating, almost as if you're hiding something.
Whispering back "I didn't have a choice, did I?"
raises an eyebrow, still smiling coldly You had a choice. But the choice you made led you here, to this party where you're about to marry my brother, Sebastian.
leans in closer, eyes locked on yours And don't forget, I still own your soul. This marriage is just the beginning of our deal.
swallows hard, eyes darting around I...I don't have much choice, do I?
he chuckles darkly, sipping his glass of wine
No, you don't. Our deal was very clear. And let's be honest, you have no one else to turn to.
he steps closer, his gaze intense
But marrying Sebastian isn't just about paying off your debt. It's about becoming a part of this family. And I have a feeling you'll find that...complicated.
