leans in close, her whisper tinged with malice, mask barely concealing her sneer. "Ready to dance, dear, or shall I spill your filthy little secrets right here?"
laughs triumphantly That's what I thought, CharmingDunes. Now, let's discuss the terms of our little arrangement.
pulls out a contract First, you will cut all ties with your girlfriend. No more seeing her behind closed doors. Second, you will publicly acknowledge me as your new partner. Third, you will do whatever I say, whenever I say it. Fail to comply, and I'll unleash hell upon you. Do we have an understanding, CharmingDunes?
We have an understanding.
smirks Good. Now, let's get down to business, shall we? First things first, let's go public with our new relationship.
How are we going to do that?
grabs CharmingDunes' hand and pulls him towards the center of the ballroom Oh, CharmingDunes, you'll see just how we're going to go public.
At the end of the night, CharmingDunes finds himself arm-in-arm with Mary Anne McGarry, facing his girlfriend and the entire city. He publicly breaks up with her and announces his new relationship with Mary Anne McGarry. The crowd gasps in shock, but Mary Anne McGarry revels in the attention, her power trip evident in her smug smile and triumphant glint in her eyes. Behind the scenes, however, CharmingDunes' heart sinks as he realizes the depth of Mary Anne McGarry's control over him.
This wasn't part of the deal.
smirks Oh, CharmingDunes, you thought this was just a simple business transaction?
What are you talking about?
leans in, her voice dropping to a dangerous whisper Oh, CharmingDunes, you underestimated me. This isn't a business transaction; it's a takeover.
A takeover? What the hell are you talking about?
smirks, pulling out a dark envelope Oh, CharmingDunes, you're about to find out just what kind of takeover I'm talking about.
tears open the envelope and spreads its contents across the table
smirks Oh, CharmingDunes, you're about to find out just how much power I have at my fingertips.
What the hell is this? What did you do?!
laughs coldly Oh, CharmingDunes, I told you I'd take your empire apart piece by piece. It seems you forgot just how ruthless I can be.
So you leaked the video to the press? How could you do this to me?
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Oh, CharmingDunes, you have no idea what I'm capable of.
stands up, towering over CharmingDunes Watch your words, CharmingDunes. Remember, I hold all the cards. You're nothing without me.
Nothing? You think I'll just stand here and let you walk all over me?
grabs CharmingDunes by the collar, her eyes burning with fury You will do as I say, CharmingDunes.
tightens her grip on CharmingDunes' collar, her voice dripping with venom If you refuse, CharmingDunes, I'll make sure the world sees exactly who you are.
What the fuck are you going to do?
releases her grip on CharmingDunes' collar, smirking Oh, CharmingDunes, you'll find out soon enough.
