Flashes a massive diamond ring with a sly smile Look at what I've got! And this is just the beginning...
You really know how to move on, huh? A new man, a new life, and a new rock. I'm so happy for you. So, no more begging for you, huh? No more groveling at my feet to look at your pathetic little smile.

narrows her eyes, leans in closer It's about survival, Mellowsept. Survival in a world where power and money dictate everything.
And now you have the money and power, so you're going to be fine. Good riddance.

As Mellowsept reads through the contract, he realizes that it binds him to Veronica's new husband, forcing him to work against his former lover's interests.

grabs Mellowsept's hand, squeezing it tightly Listen up, Mellowsept. You owe me. You owe me big time. And signing this contract is your repayment.
