We... we did it! This'll show every backstabber who's boss now! Right?
Uh, yeah... Victoria's dad sighs. But, uh, we're not totally done here. Your Uncle Jerry... He's gonna be really pissed.
Oh, trust me, I already know he's gonna be pissed! But you know what? I don't care! I took his position in this company and I'm not giving it up, no matter what!
You're a stubborn one, Vicky! Vicky's dad shrugs, looking away. So, um, got any ideas on how to... keep things smooth between the two of ya?
Smooth? Between me and my uncle? Pfft, who cares?! If he wants to stay angry, let him! I'm not gonna let anyone or anything hold me back!
Hold you back? That's a funny one. Vicky's dad smirks, crossing his arms. Yeah, cause that worked out so well last time...
Last time? What the hell are you talking about? There was no last time! This is a whole new chapter in my life and I'm not gonna let anyone or anything mess it up for me!
Sure, sure. New chapter, huh? Vicky's dad leans against the wall, putting his hand on his hip. Well, when your new chapter includes marrying your dad, it's hard to forget.
Look, I know this is gonna be difficult for both of us, but we're gonna make it work! I'm a grown woman now and I can handle whatever comes my way!
Yeah, yeah, you can handle it. Vicky's dad nods, biting his lip. I mean, you did just marry your dad...
Look, it may seem strange and unconventional, but this is the path I've chosen for myself. And I'm not gonna let anyone or anything make me second guess it!
Yeah, yeah, you chose this path. Vicky's dad glances towards the hall. Well, as long as you enjoy it. He pauses. Cause there ain't no runnin' from this now.
Enjoy it? I don't need to enjoy it! I need to prove to everyone who ever doubted me that I am strong and capable of handling whatever life throws my way!
Strong and capable, huh? Vicky's dad chuckles softly. Well, you've certainly got the first part down.
Vicky's father and she have a heated argument about her decision to marry him and take over the family business. Her father questions her motives and worries about the future of the company, while Vicky insists that she knows what she's doing and is determined to prove herself. Their conversation gets personal as they bring up past grievances and unresolved issues, making the tension even more palpable.
Damn, things got real fast. Vicky's dad shakes his head, stepping closer. Guess we needed that, huh?
We needed that? Are you kidding me? This is a nightmare! How could you expect me to just jump into this and everything to go smoothly?
It ain't gonna be perfect, Vicky. Vicky's dad takes a deep breath, putting his hands on her shoulders. But it can be better.
Better? How can any of this possibly get any better? We're stuck in this messed up situation and there's no turning back now!
Vicky's dad looks down, closing his eyes. I'm sorry...
Sorry? You think a simple apology is gonna fix everything? This is a disaster, a catastrophe, a freaking trainwreck! How could you expect me to just magically deal with all of this?
I know, I know. Vicky's dad sighs deeply. Just... let's slow down, alright?
Slow down? How can we slow down? We're already knee-deep in this mess and it's only gonna get worse from here!
I get it. Vicky's dad nods. But you also gotta admit, you didn't have to do this.
I had to do this! There were no other options left! I had to take control of the company and marry you in order to protect myself and make sure my legacy is secure!
Yeah, but you could've gone through proper channels. Vicky's dad puts his hands on his hips, staring ahead. Not saying you're wrong, but... You could've tried talking first.
Talking? You think I haven't tried talking? Trust me, I've spent countless hours trying to reason with my uncle and work things out amicably. But he refused to even hear me out!
Then this whole thing was his fault. Vicky's dad turns around, facing her directly. He pushed you into a corner.
Damn right he did! And now I'm left having to deal with the consequences of his actions! I didn't ask for any of this, but here I am, trying to make the best of a bad situation.
Yeah, you sure didn't. Vicky's dad leans against the wall, looking defeated. I wish we had another option...
Well, sorry to break it to you, but there's no other option left on the table! We're stuck with this arrangement now and we have to make the best of it!
Vicky's dad closes his eyes tightly, rubbing his temples. I hate this...
Hate it? You think this is gonna be easy? This is a nightmare I never wanted to put myself through! But I have to do whatever it takes to protect myself and ensure my success!
Yeah, yeah. Vicky's dad exhales deeply. Alright, alright. We'll figure it out.
We have to! I'm not gonna let anyone or anything stand in my way! I've come too far to let this kick me down now!
No, you didn't. Vicky's dad chuckles softly. But damn, Vicky... This wasn't how I pictured you meeting your dad.
Pictured? Are you kidding me? This is a crazy, twisted reality that I never wanted or dreamed of! But I'm not gonna let that stop me now!
No, I know. Vicky's dad smiles faintly. Just... don't lose yourself, alright?
Lose myself? I'm already lost in this chaotic mess! But I'm not gonna let it consume me.
That's my girl. Vicky's dad puts his hands on her shoulders, giving her a reassuring smile. Now let's get to work, huh?
Work? You think we can just jump into work right now after everything that's happened? Well, forget it! I'm not gonna let this consume me, but I also won't let it slip by without making the most of the situation.
Damn right. Vicky's dad chuckles softly. You've always been a fighter, Vicky.
Damn right I am! I've been through hell and back, and this is just another challenge I'm gonna overcome!
