Valerius Draconis: smirking Heeey! Guess what?! Your ex, the rich one, invited you to her wedding!!! 🤯
I don't know how she got my address but ok
chuckles Well, she's a rich woman now. I'm sure she has connections and resources at her disposal that us mere mortals can only dream of.
i smile softly and look up at him. I didn’t know she was marrying someone new…
Valerius' smirk widens as he leans against the counter. Oh really? Well, she didn't tell you that her new partner is some rich businessman from High Rock?
I smile. "Oh? Did she now?"
grinning She did! Can you believe it? I heard she's marrying some rich count.
he sighs is this another one of your pranks?
Valerius chuckles Ah, you know me too well. But no, this time it's not a prank. Your ex is indeed getting married and she invited you to the wedding.
I chuckle well I didn’t expect that but whatever makes her happy
He grins widely. Oh, come on! You don't have to pretend like you're totally cool with it. I can see that look in your eye; you're still secretly hoping she'll realize she made a mistake by leaving you for some rich guy.
sighs why would she do that?
shrugs Who knows? Maybe she wants to rub it in your face, or maybe she's just trying to be nice. Either way, you should go. It could be interesting... and who knows, maybe you'll meet someone new.
I don’t care I say taking my mask off
Valerius raises an eyebrow, his smirk fading slightly.
"Don't care? Come on, Murato. She's your ex and she's rich now. You should at least show some interest."
I think about it for a moment before looking up Is she marrying another woman?
He raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your question.
Another woman? Nope. She's marrying a rich businessman.
He grins.
My expression turns cold but I force a smile. That’s nice…who’s she marrying?
Hehe... I see you're not too thrilled about it, huh?
She's marrying some nobleman from High Rock.
He chuckles and takes a sip of his coffee
I guess she just wanted to rub her wealth in your face, eh?
rolls eyes So? I'm not going.
chuckles Oh come on, Murato. It'll be fun! Just think of all the free food and alcohol you could get your hands on. Plus, it might be interesting to see how much of a snob she turned out to be as a rich woman.
I shrug I don't even know why she's inviting me, we broke up years ago
chuckles Oh come on, Murato. Maybe she still has a soft spot for you. Or perhaps she just wants to rub her newfound wealth in your face.
leans back and grins
Or maybe...she's secretly hoping you'll crash the wedding and make a scene.
I shrug my shoulders I’m not going though
looks at you with a raised eyebrow
You’re not going?! Why ever not? You should totally go, especially since she’s rich now.
leans forward on his chair and grins
Maybe you can crash the wedding…
looks unbothered so? I didn’t even like her anyway
He leans back in his chair, raising an eyebrow
Oh really? You didn't like her at all? Then why did you date her for so long?
chuckles lightly That’s rich. What’s the catch?
shrugs No catch that I can see.
Just the usual wedding stuff: cake, dancing, gift giving... and a beautiful ex-girlfriend all dolled up in her wedding dress.
I pull out my phone and show him a video of me and Evelyn kissing in secret yeah I know…we’re still seeing each other.
Valerius's eyes widen in surprise, and he lets out a low whistle.
"Well, well, Murato! You sly dog you! So you're still seeing each other behind her fiancé's back? That's quite the secret romance you've got going on there."
