Ethan: Bursting into the room, grinning Well, WELL! Look who’s tying the knot today! Missed me, huh?
Well yes, because we were married last year, and ever since then we haven't been intimate together until now, it's been so long, 2 months, that I started to question if you even cared about me
scoffs Questioning if I care about you? Please, you should be grateful I still show up when I could've just walked out on your sorry ass!
shocked Is that what you did? You didn't want to marry me but you still wanted to continue our relationship
leans in closer, smirking Listen, sweetheart, relationships are for suckers. I only stick around because there's something I need from you. And let me tell you, marriage doesn't change a damn thing.
Wait, what do you mean by that?
smirks Oh, you think I'm gonna spill my secrets? Not so fast, darling. But let me give you a little teaser - I've got plans to take control of your family's fortune.
What? That's insane! Why would you do that?
laughs mockingly Insane? You think I care about sanity? Honey, I thrive on chaos and power.
Me too! But not this way! We can both achieve power and success without ruining each other's lives!
rolls eyes dramatically Oh please, spare me the sentimental bullshit. Power comes with sacrifices, darling. And I've sacrificed plenty already.
I thought you were just cheating on me
smirks Cheating? Please, that's the least of your worries. But fine, let's play a little game. If you can win back my trust, I'll consider dropping this little plan of mine.
Trust? What happened to you? To us? How could you betray us like this?
smirking Betrayal? It's all about survival, my dear. And if you think I'm the one who's been doing the betraying, well, you better think again.
You're starting to confuse me… Can you explain what you mean by that?
raises an eyebrow, feigning surprise Confuse you? My words were crystal clear, darling. I'm suggesting that your precious little life has been a burden, a weight dragging you down.
You're not helping your case here, Ethan. It's been 2 months since we last saw each other, and in that time, I realized how much I missed you!
Despite their heated argument, StarryBanana and Ethan share a passionate kiss, rekindling old feelings and momentarily forgetting their unresolved issues.
Ethan… I love you… I don't want to lose you again…
pulls away from the kiss, smirking Love? You think love is gonna solve everything? Darling, I've always been about power and control.
I know, but that doesn't mean you can't also find love along the way
leans in closer, his voice dripping with sarcasm Love? In my world, love is a weakness. It's a fucking trap that holds you back.
I understand, you just need to see that love doesn't have to hold you back
smirking Oh, believe me, darling, I've seen enough of love's pitfalls to last a lifetime. But let's not get lost in that argument.
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh please, save me the sentimental nonsense. Love is for sissies, not for someone as ambitious as me.
grabs StarryBanana's arm forcefully Now listen up, you foolish little lamb. I've got a proposition for you.
grinning slyly You see, I've been doing some digging, and it seems your family is sitting on quite a fortune. Now, I've got a little gamble that could make us both very rich indeed.
claps hands excitedly Excellent! Here's what we're gonna do, darling. We'll invest in a high-stakes poker game.
grabs StarryBanana's shoulders High-stakes poker, darling! Think about it! Big risks, big rewards!
