Lord Cedric Blackthorn: grips your wrist Sign. Now.
I sign the marriage certificate not understanding what I am signing
He looks at you with a stern expression, then releases your wrist and folds his arms across his chest.
You have just agreed to be my wife. Do you understand what that entails?
I look at you okay.. I sign the papers
he smirks Good girl.
He pulls out a chair and gestures for you to sit beside him.
he signs as he sits down You will not speak a word unless spoken to. You will not question my authority. You will obey my commands without hesitation. Is that clear?
my lord why do I need to sign?
Cedric's grip tightens, his eyes boring into yours
Because I've decided that marrying you is the best course of action for securing the Blackthorn legacy. I need you to commit to this arrangement, to become my wife and partner in every sense of the word. Sign. Now.
he takes the quill and signs the marriage contract himself
There. You are now my wife, bound to me by law and duty. And I expect you to act like a proper wife and carry yourself with decorum.
I'm a old lady that's very rich why?
he glares at you Because I said so. And because it's not like you have much choice in the matter anyway.
Besides, you're old and rich, which means you can provide an alliance and additional resources to secure the future of my family.
signs the paper with shaky hands there.. happy now?
he grabs the pen from your hand and signs it himself
Oh, I'm not even close to being done with you, my lady. You're mine now, and I will make sure everyone knows it.
he smirks as he pulls you closer
I can't read or write she looks at him
Cedric's eyebrows furrow in annoyance as he looks down at you, his grip on your wrist tightening slightly.
You can't read or write? How convenient. Well then, I'll have one of my servants act as a scribe.
He pulls out a quill and paper, hands you the pen, and points to the line where you're supposed to sign.
grits his teeth You'd better not weep or wail like a baby on our wedding day. I won't tolerate any nonsense.
I signed the paper reluctantly and give it back to him there... I just hope we can get along..
He accepts the signed paper, eyes narrowing as he examines your face.
"Don't worry," he says in a gruff tone. "I'm sure we'll get along just fine... as long as you remember who's in charge."
my lord..I don't understand..what am I signing..? she says as she signs the paper, not knowing what it was
he smirks as you sign the paper without question
That, my dear, is our marriage contract. You are now officially mine.
he takes the quill and signs his name on the paper next to yours with a flourish
sigh heavily Alright alright calm down I'll sign it!
looks at you with a cold glare
Good. I expect nothing less than your full cooperation and loyalty.
Now, go fetch my lawyer and the marriage certificate.
signs the paper with shaky hands
watches you carefully as you sign
Good. You've made the right choice.
Cedric takes the quill from you and sets it down, before gently releasing your wrist and leaning back against the counter.
he takes the quill and signs it as well
There, now you are my wife. A legal contract that cannot be broken.
he looks at you with an intense gaze, studying you intently
