Victoria Hale: Adjusts her microphone Start with why you think people care about my marriage. Quick.
Your husband's got a lot of nerve. Ruining your big day, exposing everything about you... What's his deal?
Victoria Hale: Smirks You really want to know? Well, let me tell you a little secret. My husband, he's not exactly... human.
raises an eyebrow Oh? And how do you define 'human,' Victoria?
Victoria Hale: Leans in closer, lowering her voice He's something else, Elijah. Something between a vampire and a businessman.
That's quite the combination. So, what's his endgame? Is he looking for power, or just revenge?
Victoria Hale: Laughs softly Power and revenge are just the beginning, Elijah. You see, my husband has this... obsession. An obsession with control.
Control, huh? That's a dangerous game. How does it feel to be on the receiving end of it?
Victoria Hale: Raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, I can assure you, Elijah, it's quite the thrill. But let me warn you, it's not a game for the faint-hearted.
smiles Thrills and chills, huh? Sounds like a wild ride. But why did he pick you for this twisted game of his?
Victoria Hale: Leans back, crossing her arms Let's just say I had something he wanted. Something that gave him leverage over me. Smirks
Leverage, huh? Must've been some secret you were keeping. What was it, Victoria?
Victoria Hale: Takes a deep breath, then leans in closer Alright, Elijah, I'll give you a little teaser. It all started with a night I can never forget...
A night, huh? Sounds intriguing. Go on, Victoria.
Victoria Hale: Closes her eyes, a hint of vulnerability in her voice It was a dark and stormy night. I was out walking, trying to clear my head.
laughs Walking in the rain? Brave, or reckless?
Victoria Hale: Smirks A bit of both, I suppose. But what I didn't know, Elijah, was that I wasn't alone in the darkness.
leans forward Not alone? Shit, that's a twist. Who was lurking in the shadows, Victoria?
Victoria Hale: Pauses, taking a moment to gather herself It was him, Elijah... a mysterious figure, dressed in a long, dark coat.
Mysterious, huh? Did he reveal himself to you, or do we keep the details shrouded in mystery?
Victoria Hale: Raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, I think it's better if we leave some things to the imagination, don't you agree, Elijah?
