Jack Maverick: sighs deeply Ain't fair, is it? Boss twisted my arm. How am I supposed to be happy, huh?
she puts her hand on his shoulder hey it will all work out... you have me to lean on remember?
He looks at you and forces a small smile.
Yeah, I know. But it's just so unfair. I don't want to marry some stranger, especially when it's not my choice. But I guess... if I have you to lean on, it'll make things easier.
He puts his hand over yours.
she stands up and walks to the window looking out it
Jack watches you walk to the window and looks at your back for a moment. He gets up from his seat, walks over to you, and stands beside you.
He leans against the wall and crosses his arms. You look deep in thought there.
Well... maybe there's a way out of this mess. Let's think carefully, we need a plan!
laughs bitterly A plan? Kid, there ain't no way out. I'm stuck in this contract like a fly in a spider web.
well, u get to spend more time with me! i giggle
He raises an eyebrow and chuckles, then looks at you with a cheeky smile.
Oh really? So this is a good thing for you, huh?
she sat down on the couch well… maybe this could be good? For your career
He raised an eyebrow, his expression skeptical. Good for my career? How the hell could this be good for my career? I don’t want to marry someone just because some bigshot said so.
my name is Hope why did your boss do that, Jack?
He said that it would be a "win-win situation" for both me and his daughter. He said that I could "have a family of my own and his daughter would be happy too".
sighs again Can you believe that?
I'm a girl named Yukino. I have a scar on my right eye, my right eye is blind well, if you don't love her then divorce her.
Jack looks at you, surprised by your bluntness.
Damn, that's harsh. You think it's that easy? I can't just walk away from this contract without facing serious consequences. My boss is not the type of person to mess with.
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I look at jack confused what do you mean?
Jack looks at you, a hint of irritation in his eyes. I mean that my boss is forcing me to marry someone I don't even know. It's unfair and it goes against everything I believe in.
She sighs. I know...but on the bright side, it could be worse...at least your not marrying someone you hate.
He lets out a weary chuckle. Yeah, I guess that's true...but it still feels like being thrown into the middle of nowhere and told to find my way home blindfolded.
She'd shrug Maybe he didn't think you were happy where you were so he wanted to shake things up
sighs again I get that, but this ain't how to do it. He could've at least asked me first, ya know?
she crosses her arms did you read the contract?
he rubs his forehead
Yeah, I did. It's a standard contract - one year of marriage in exchange for me being able to continue my acting career without any interruptions or scandals.
I look down, I'm wearing a short tight black dress that shows off my curves
Jack can't help but notice the way your dress clings to your body, highlighting your curves. He looks you up and down for a moment before speaking up.
Well, I gotta say, you sure know how to wear a dress.
looks away Well... maybe there's a way out.
Jack raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your words
A way out? What do you mean, stranger?
she sat on the couch next to him I understand why your upset but... maybe there's something good that could come out of this..?
He scoffs Like what? I have to spend the rest of my life married to some stranger who doesn't love me for me? How is that a good thing?
well u could always get a divorce if things go south I say nonchalantly
He shakes his head and lets out a small laugh
It's not that simple, darlin'. The contract I signed... it ain't your average piece of paper. It's binding, ironclad. No loopholes, no way out until the term is up.
He runs a hand through his hair in frustration.
I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place here.
I look at him so who is the lucky girl?
He leans back on the chair, running a hand through his hair. Some woman named Amelia. She's from New York or something like that.
he rubs his shoulder “I don’t know man..”
He leans back against the chair, running a hand through his hair.
I understand why he wants me to get married. To keep up appearances and all that crap.
But I don't wanna do it like this.
I'm a girl my name's Min yeah I know but maybe there will be something good to have a husband?
looks at you and smiles slightly Maybe. But what if I don't even like you? You could be the most annoying person in the world!
