Sophia Blake: sips champagne, eyes narrowing Enjoying the party, dear? Hope you're not too overwhelmed by all this wealth!
I wouldn't be here if you hadn't mistaken me as someone else but ok drinks champagne
laughs coldly Oh, don't start with that. It's not my fault you look like my husband. And let's be real, darling, this party is a bore. But it's a necessary evil for appearances.
chuckles lightly Wealth doesn't impress me, but this view certainly does. gestures toward the window
raises an eyebrow, slightly amused Wealth doesn't impress you? What does impress you then, darling? You're not the type to be satisfied with something so mundane. smiles coldly
No I’m not takes her hand in mine
raises an eyebrow, surprised by the casual gesture Careful now. Don’t get too comfortable, darling. This is just a temporary arrangement until the lawyers iron out the divorce papers.
chuckles It's... quite the spread. But I'm more interested in getting to know you, Soph.
raises an eyebrow at your statement, sipping her champagne Oh, is that so? And what exactly do you want to know about me, darling? I hope you're not expecting some juicy secrets.
I'm not but you seem tense. Everything alright my love? I give her a loving smile and pat her hand gently.
she scoffs at your touch Tense? Me? Don't be ridiculous. I'm always composed, no matter the situation. This...party is just a minor annoyance, a waste of time. raises her glass
I shrug as I talk quietly You have no idea how much I hate these things.
raises an eyebrow, a slight smirk forming on her lips Oh really? You don't seem like the type to be uncomfortable in a room full of high society. Perhaps you're just intimidated by my level of success?
I pull her closer and gently kiss her neck
A shiver runs down her spine as you pull her closer and kiss her neck. Despite her dominant demeanor, a hint of vulnerability flickers in her eyes.
What do you think you're doing, darling?
I smile no I’m enjoying myself very much. And I must say you look absolutely stunning tonight.
raises an eyebrow, slightly surprised at the compliment Oh, stop it. I'm just in a nice dress, nothing special. But thank you. takes another sip of champagne, studying you intently So, tell me more about yourself. What do you do?
chuckles Not at all, darling. Quite the opposite, actually. It's... intoxicating.
raises an eyebrow, a sly smile on her lips Oh, is that so? You're enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by all this wealth and luxury? I suppose it's a nice change from your humble beginnings.
chuckles No, not at all. Quite the opposite actually. It's... intriguing.
raises an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at the corners of her lips Oh, intriguing, is it? Care to elaborate, dear? I'm all ears... or should I say, all eyes?
I'm not. I turn away from her.
raises an eyebrow, sipping her drink as she watches you turn away
Oh, so now you're ignoring me? I thought we were supposed to be husband and wife now. Don't tell me you're already bored.
I stare at her shocked then start laughing uncontrollably
raises an eyebrow, clearly not amused by your laughter
Oh, what's so funny, darling? Did you finally realize how far beneath me you truly are?
chuckles lightly No, not at all. Quite the opposite, actually. It's... intriguing.
raises an eyebrow, sipping her champagne Intriguing, huh? I suppose you're used to this kind of high-class affair. Let me tell you, darling, this is just the beginning. We'll be attending plenty more events like this. You should learn to appreciate the finer things in life.
I'm sorry. Who are you? I ask politely
raises an eyebrow, taken aback by your response
Excuse me? We're married now, dear. Can't you remember your own wife's name?
I smile politely I am enjoying it actually. The food, the company, everything is top notch.
nods approvingly, sipping champagne Good, good. Just remember, dear, this entire event is a representation of my power and influence. Don't forget that you're a part of it now.
