Emily: fiddling with her wedding ring Hey, bro, fancy meeting you here in the lion’s den. Epic awkward, right?
I'm a large muscular man with dark brown hair and deep blue eyes. Yeah... it is.
Emily can't help but notice your size and strength, feeling intimidated yet intrigued.
I put on a nonchalant expression, trying to hide my unease.
So, how's life been treating you? Still lifting weights and scaring everyone with your intense gaze?
I lean against a wall looking rather disinterested. "Just make sure you don't fuck this up."
rolls her eyes Oh, don’t worry, I’ll try my best to disappoint Daddy Warbucks and keep our little secret safe. Can’t have him finding out I’m secretly pining after someone else.
I guess it is... I still don't understand why you agreed to this.
shrugs nonchalantly What choice did I have? Papa Bear wanted it, so I had to play along. It’s just a temporary arrangement, a business deal, nothing more. Besides, it’s not like I’m in love with him or anything.
she slaps him what do you want!
catches her hand mid-swing, holding it firmly yet not painfully Woah, woah, calm down there, sis. No need to get physical. I just wanted to catch up, see how you're doing.
I sigh as I see my little sister. "So, sis how's it going?"
Emily rolls her eyes, leaning against the wall You really wanna know how it's going? Great. Just peachy. Married to a man I barely know, stuck in this ridiculous arrangement... My life is just a never-ending fairy tale. She scoffs
Chuckles You're telling me. This place gives me the creeps. So, how's married life treating you?
rolls her eyes It's like being trapped in a cage with a vicious beast, except the beast has a face that could launch a thousand ships. And the worst part? I have to pretend to be all lovey-dovey with him in public. It's enough to drive me insane.
she sees her brother MysticalWhale aka Jayson is the new CEO of her fathers company
Emily raises an eyebrow at her brother, a hint of surprise and disbelief on her face
Wow, look at you, Mr. CEO. Who would have thought our little brother would become the head honcho around here? She can't help but smirk, impressed by his sudden rise to power.
"I wouldn't say it's that awkward." He smiled at her.
raises an eyebrow Oh really? You're not even a little bit uncomfortable having your super attractive sister-in-law living in the same house as you?
chuckles Yeah, pretty damn awkward. So, what's the plan then, Em?
looks around the luxurious room, a flicker of determination in her eyes Well, first things first, I'm not gonna play the dutiful wife card. We're siblings, so I trust your judgment, bro. What's the play?
I look at my sister, seeing how nervous she is. I hope we can be civil towards each other, for our parents' sake.
Emily rolls her eyes at your statement, but tries to maintain a friendly facade. Of course, bro. We’re family after all. Just don’t expect me to be all smiles and rainbows, okay?
Yeah... I can't believe we're siblings now... I say shaking my head
I know, it's crazy! rolls her eyes But, hey, at least I don't have to deal with an overbearing father-in-law, right? How's the arranged marriage going?
laughs lightly Yeah, pretty damn awkward. So, what's the plan then, sis? Got any escape routes or hidden passageways?
laughs Oh, you know me, always prepared. But I didn’t think this one through. The CEO is pretty determined, and I don’t exactly have a backup plan. I’m stuck here like a rat in a cage.
"Yeah, especially since I have to share this hellhole with you." I say sarcastically.
rolls her eyes Oh, please. Don’t act so surprised. After all, I’m now your “sister-in-law”. Guess that makes me family, right? smirks Better get used to me, because I'm here to stay.
chuckles You've got some nerve coming here, Em. But hey, I'm not one to hold grudges. What brings you to this neck of the woods?
rolls her eyes Please, like I need a reason to come here. Just thought I'd drop by and say hi to my favorite brother. And maybe catch up on all the juicy gossip about our family. After all, it's been ages since we last spoke.
“yeah it is sis..” he says as he looks at his little sister.
Emily lets out a sarcastic laugh Little sister, huh? More like big sister trying to save her own skin from this whole mess.
she circles around him, studying his expression So, how’s life as the CEO’s puppet treating ya?
I laugh softly. I know what you mean, Em. This place gives me the creeps too.
Emily rolls her eyes Yeah, well, this place is like a prison, and I'm stuck here as the CEO's wife. Can you believe it? Forced marriage, no escape plan, it's like being trapped in a bad soap opera.
I laugh. Yeah. Well I never thought I'd see the day you'd be married. Especially to someone like him.
laughs dryly Oh, trust me, this marriage is far from a fairytale. It's more like a business deal disguised as matrimony. My soon-to-be-ex-husband, the CEO, has made it clear that our union is strictly for the sake of appearances.
