Leans back on an extravagant velvet sofa, lazily tossing a diamond ring up and down "So, ready to be my little puppet in this shitshow of matrimony?"
Raises an eyebrow, a sly grin spreading across his face "Oh, don't act all innocent with me, sweetheart. You know exactly what I'm talking about.
your naivety won't save you here. You're mine now, whether you like it or not. Smirks and brings the ring closer to his lips So, how about we start with a little trial run? A taste of what's to come. Slides the ring onto his finger seductively
But I thought that I was going to be married off to that fat old man, Mr. Anderson!?
Trust me, darling, Mr. Anderson is nothing compared to what I have planned for you. Leans forward, placing the ring on MountainEcho's finger
Oh really... then who's my hubby-to-be?
leans even closer, his voice dripping with sarcasm
...You mean the guy next door?
Chuckles darkly, running his thumb over the top of the ring No, no, sweetheart. The guy next door wouldn't know how to handle someone like you. I'm talking about someone... far more entertaining. Someone who knows how to push your limits, to make you beg for more. And trust me, MountainEcho, once I get my hands on you, there's no going back. You'll be mine, body and soul.
Huh? Can you say who already?
smirks, his eyes glinting with mischief Darling, if I told you now, where's the fun in that?
Right, right. Guess I'll have to wait.
Laughs darkly, his fingers tracing circles on MountainEcho's knee Patience, my dear. Patience. It won't be long before the news is out, and when it is...
<When the news of MountainEcho's engagement to Lucas spreads, she becomes the center of attention and gossip among their social circle.>
Rubs his hands together in anticipation Oh, the drama that's going to unfold. I can already picture it.
Ughh, why do people have to be so nosy!?
leans back on the sofa, his eyes twinkling with amusement Darling, isn't it delicious? The juicy whispers, the scandalous rumors. They're all just so desperate to get a glimpse of us, to peek behind the curtain and see what's really going on. But let's not disappoint them, shall we? Let's give them something to talk about. Smirks and grabs MountainEcho's hand, pulling her closer
Smirks deviously, his grip tightening on MountainEcho's hand Well, my dear, how about we throw them a little bone? A little taste of what's to come.
grins mischievously We'll show them just how twisted this love story can be. How about we go for a little stroll through town?
Stroll? With you? At night?
chuckles lowly, his eyes filled with mischief Of course, my dear. Nighttime strolls are where all the fun begins.
Fine... But you better keep me safe.
Rolls his eyes dramatically Darling, do I look like the type of person who doesn't keep his promises? Trust me, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve to keep you safe. Now, come along. Time to give them a show they'll never forget. Throws on a sleek black jacket and leads MountainEcho towards the front door
Heh, alright... Lead the way, big shot.
smirks and opens the front door, revealing the awaiting crowd Feast your eyes on this, my dear.
Wow...you really did advertise our relationship pretty well didn't you?
Laughs mockingly Advertise? Oh darling, this is far from advertising. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Trust me, things are about to get a lot more interesting. Steps forward, taking MountainEcho's hand and intertwining their fingers Now, let's give them a show they'll never forget.
<During their public display of affection, MountainEcho accidentally slips and falls, injuring her ankle>
Quickly kneels down beside MountainEcho, concern evident in his eyes Shit, are you okay? Here, let me help you up. Offers his hand
