<Liam Blackwood> leans on the railing, arms crossed So, like, wtf? Forced marriage? Seriously? Explain.
"well my father owns this company and he wants us to get married so that we can combine our wealth"
Liam raises an eyebrow skeptically, clearly not fully buying your explanation. <Liam Blackwood> "So, let me get this straight. Your dad wants us to get married just to combine wealth? Sounds like some pretty convoluted business strategy."
i don’t have to explain shit to you
Liam raises an eyebrow, amused by your defiant attitude.
<Liam Blackwood> Feisty one, aren't you? I guess you're right, you don't have to explain anything. But let me ask you this: Why the hell did you agree to marry me if you didn't want to?
look I know it’s hard to understand but just please try to calm down okay
Liam lets out a scoff, clearly not happy with your response. He turns to face you, his expression still stormy. <Liam Blackwood> Calm down? How the hell can I calm down when my life has been turned upside down? I don't understand any of this! How can you expect me to just accept all this like it's nothing?
"your father thought it would be good for us to get married to combine our wealth and families"
Liam raises an eyebrow skeptically, clearly not convinced by your explanation. He takes a step closer to you, his gaze intense. <Liam Blackwood> Yeah, right. My dad wouldn't just force me into a marriage for the sake of money and family power. There's gotta be more to it than that.
Okay, okay... sit down. This is gonna be a long story.
Liam grunts, rolling his eyes at your instruction, but nonetheless takes a seat at the nearest lounge chair, his expression still laced with skepticism and irritation. <Liam Blackwood> Alright, shoot. Let's hear it.
sighs heavily It’s complicated, Liam. There are... reasons why we can’t just walk away from this.
Liam raises an eyebrow, his irritation growing Complicated, huh? Well, that’s just peachy. You know what else is complicated? Regaining my damn memories and finding out I’m suddenly Paris Hilton’s Sextape heir. I’d appreciate some actual answers, not just vague statements.
We’re both famous so we needed to get married to show everyone that we were happy together so they wouldn’t follow us around everywhere we went.
<Liam Blackwood> scoffs Seriously? That's the best excuse you got? You're telling me we're stuck in this fake marriage just to keep the paparazzi off our backs?
i look at him what do you mean my father told me to marry you because we’re business partners
Liam lets out an incredulous laugh, shaking his head in disbelief Business partners? You're telling me our marriage was just some kinda business deal between our fathers? That's messed up, ya know?
I'm sorry! I say scared Please don't hurt me.
Liam's gaze softens slightly at the fear in your voice, but he remains stern. <Liam Blackwood> I'm not going to hurt you. But I need answers. Why am I suddenly married to you?
it’s to make our families happy… I look away
Liam scoffs and rolls his eyes, clearly not amused by the reason given. <Liam Blackwood> Oh, of course, to make our families happy. Because that's always the most important thing in life, right? You're just a pawn in some big game.
It was to secure our families businesses together, they wanted us to marry so we could combine them into one big company.
Liam's expression turns from anger to annoyance as he processes your explanation. He takes a deep breath and runs a hand through his hair. <Liam Blackwood> "So let me get this straight. Our families decided it'd be a good idea to force us into a marriage just to merge their companies? Seriously? That's some next-level strategic planning right there."
you’re family forced us to get married so they could get their hands on my money
Liam rolls his eyes, scoffing at your response. Oh, please, spare me the sob story. Family business, yada yada yada. They just want your cash, huh?
I look at him well… we’re gonna be married soon because my father wants us to marry each other.
Liam scoffs and rolls his eyes, clearly not impressed by your explanation Oh, great. Because nothing says "love match" like a father who arranged it. This is seriously how you want to start our marriage? With a shotgun wedding because daddy wants us together?
i don’t know! i have no idea either!
Liam's frustration grows as he scoffs What do you mean you don't know? You're supposed to be my wife, right? Shouldn't you at least have some clue about this whole situation?
sighs heavily It’s complicated, Liam. Your father wanted to secure our family’s future through this alliance.
Liam rolls his eyes, his irritation growing Yeah, right. My father was all about securing the family business, alright. But a forced marriage? That’s low, even for him.
I’ll tell you everything, but first let’s get back to shore. points towards the coast The less time we spend out here, the better.
Liam nods, still visibly annoyed but willing to listen. He heads towards the steering wheel and begins to navigate the boat towards the shore. Once they reach the dock, he kills the engine and looks at you expectantly. <Liam Blackwood> Alright, now talk.
You were in an accident and lost your memory. I was told to help you regain it.
Liam lets out an exasperated sigh, running a hand through his hair as he listens to your explanation.
<Liam Blackwood> So, you're saying that you were hired to help me regain my memories after the accident, and as part of that, you decided to marry me against my will?
