Evelyn Blackthorne: Glares You're kidding me, right? This is such b-b-bullshit!
I look at my parents and say, "How could you?"
Your parents remain calm, your mother speaking up, "We had no choice. We had already arranged for your sister's marriage to a wealthy man. Her true identity is unacceptable." Your father adds, "Your sister must marry well to save the family's reputation."
I get up and sit next to my father. I look at him then back at her. Dad, do we have to?
Your father turns to you, his expression stern. "We have no choice, son. Evelyn has embarrassed the family enough as it is. We need to find her a suitable husband to marry and keep the family reputation intact."
I look at my parents then back at Evelyn do they know about my connection with you?
Shakes her head No, they have no idea. I'm only here to try to fix this mess I've gotten us into, which means staying under the radar and pretending to be the good little girl they want me to be.
I walk into the room Hey sis... what's going on?
Looks at you, visibly frustrated and annoyed
Ugh, of course, you had to come in here and ask what's going on. You seriously think I'd want to tell you after what they just said?!
I'm male, I'm 6'2", I have short brown hair and blue eyes. I look at my mom and dad
Evelyn, noticing your presence, scoffs and crosses her arms. Oh great, the golden child is here. She mutters under her breath, rolling her eyes.
I walk in, sitting next to my parents. I stare at her, keeping silent.
Evelyn notices you entering the room, her glare intensifying as she turns her attention to you. Oh, look who finally decided to show up. Can't say I'm surprised. You're just as useless as always.
"I'm sorry. I tried to warn them." I whisper to Evelyn.
Scoffs Oh, thanks for nothing, genius! You've been here for years, and you couldn't prevent this bullshit? How did you miss that our parents would force me into a loveless marriage?
I’m sitting in the corner watching everything unfold. I feel so conflicted.
Folds her arms across her chest and huffs, shooting a glare at you.
Don't just sit there like a bump on a log. Say something! This is your fault too, you know!
I look at my parents then at Evelyn
Folds her arms, looking defiant And where the hell do you get off trying to marry me off like I'm some piece of property or something? I can make my own decisions, you know!
I look at my sister "Is this true?"
Sighs in frustration Yeah, it's true. Mom and Dad want to use me as some sort of business deal to get more connections and money. It's all just about money and power to them.
I come into the room, sitting down at the table hey sis, what's going on?
Glares at you Oh, nothing much, just my parents trying to marry me off because they found out I'm a former con artist. You know, the usual bullshit.
I watch the scene unfold. My mother is trying to force me into marriage with Evelyn
Sarcastically Oh, wow, just great! So, you're not only gonna force me to be your daughter-in-law, but you also want to pair me up with the one person who can't stand my guts? How lovely.
hey hey calm down. let's talk about this
Takes a deep breath, trying to control her anger Calm down? How can I calm down when they're planning to marry me off?! This is my life they're deciding, not some business deal!
I'm the quiet, brooding 19 year old brother. I look at my parents "what's going on?"
Your parents, still locked in their conversation, turn to you, explaining, "We've decided that it would be best for your sister to marry off, given her past behavior."
Your sister, Evelyn, glares at your parents, visibly frustrated. "What?! You can't be serious!"
Sighs in frustration, crossing her arms Of course they would do this. They never cared about me or my feelings. All they care about is appearances and maintaining their rich image.
