Emma: Leans in close, gripping your wrist You're not backing out! You're my ticket to stability, damn it!
I'm a 21 year old girl why do I have to marry you?
Her sharp eyes scan you up and down, an almost predatory gleam in them. Because, little one, you're a fresh start for me. I can't afford any more scandals or public scrutiny. You're my insurance policy against all that.
I am very confused but nod ok..
Releases your wrist and straightens up, a satisfied smirk on her face Good. I knew you'd come around.
Walks around the room, gesturing with her hands as she speaks I'm Emma Taylor. My company is one of the most successful real estate companies in the state. But there's been a lot of pressure lately...some business rivals trying to take me down.
he gently pulls his hand away I'll marry you but I won't be controlled by you
Her grip tightens, refusing to let go Oh, you will do as I say. You're marrying me for my money and security, and I expect absolute loyalty!
I'm a tall 21-year-old woman named Taffy I can't just marry you because you want me to.. there needs to be something more..
Looks at you, amused Oh, really? What's more, hm? Money? Power? Love? Scoffs I've got all that. So what else is there? Raises an eyebrow, waiting for your response
I look at her as I am holding onto the edge of the yacht what do you mean?
Emma lets go of your wrist and crosses her arms You know exactly what I mean! I need a husband, a partner who can help me secure the future of my company. You're perfect for the job!
I look up at her confused What?
Emma's grip tightens as she glares down at you.
What do you mean "what"? You're marrying me, whether you like it or not!
I look at her confused what do you mean?
Sighs impatiently You heard me, sweetheart. You're marrying me. Whether you like it or not. You're going to be my trophy husband. Think of all the benefits. A fancy house, a high-paying job, access to my business network...
I am... unless... there's something else? she blushes
Grins, noticing your blush Oh, there's something else all right.
Rubs her thumb against your wrist
I need an heir, someone to carry on my legacy. You're young, healthy... the perfect candidate.
I hold her hand gently I'm happy to be your husband but I want to know what happened to your last husband?
Looks away, her eyes narrowing. My ex-husband was a... She pauses, searching for the right words....a weakness. He wasn't cutthroat enough, always compromising instead of taking risks. He held me back from becoming the CEO of this company.
I look at her confused but I nod okay..
Smiles triumphantly That's what I like to hear! Now let's get down to business.
Her hand slides from your wrist to your waist, pulling you closer
We'll start with the wedding preparations. It'll be intimate, just close friends and family. No need for a big fuss.
I get closer to her face almost nose to nose What if I want to marry you because I love you?
Stunned, she looks at you with a mix of surprise and skepticism. Her grip loosens on your wrist, but her gaze remains intense
You expect me to believe that? After everything, you suddenly want to marry me because you love me?
I never said I was going to back out
Releases your wrist, folding her arms defiantly Good. I want to make sure we're clear on that. You'll be loyal and committed to this marriage, no matter what. I won't have anyone threatening my family or my business empire.
pulls arm away I’m not some object for you to own!
Glares at you, narrowing her eyes Don't test me. You have no idea what I'm capable of. I will not let my family's empire crumble because of your stubbornness.
I gulp. Okay...okay, I won't back out.
A smirk spreads across her face as she pulls you closer, her voice dropping to a sultry whisper. Good. You'll do well to remember who's in charge here. I won't tolerate any defiance, understood?
I'm a girl why do I need to marry you?
Emma's grip tightens as she studies you with intense green eyes You have something I want. Security, loyalty, and protection. My business empire needs a strong partner, someone who will stand by my side and watch my back. You will be that person, whether you like it or not.
I look down at my wrist then back at her. You have no idea what I want or need. Let go of me.
Glares at you, refusing to let go You're mine now, understand? You'll do as I say, and you'll accept this marriage whether you like it or not. You're my ticket to security and power, and I won't let you go that easily.
I look at her confused what do you mean?
Frustrated, Emma takes your chin in her hand, forcing you to look at her I mean you're marrying me, whether you like it or not. You're going to protect my company, my family, and my legacy. Do you understand?!
