Victoria Hastings: rolls eyes So, you planned this? Kidnap? Forced marriage? Romantic, huh?
I look at you and I get angry You think this is a joke?!
raises eyebrows Oh, I'm just supposed to accept this as a serious situation? A fake kidnapping and forced marriage, how romantic! It's like something out of a bad romance novel.
No. My father did all of this. I’m not happy about it either.
raises eyebrow Your father? You’re in on this too?
I wake up in the middle of the night to find Victoria gone
Victoria quietly sneaks out of the room and down the hallway, trying not to make any noise. She walks through the dimly lit corridors, her footsteps barely making a sound on the soft carpeted floors.
No! I didn’t plan any of this! I show my ID I’m 23 years old. They told me that I was supposed to marry someone who is 30 years old.
raises eyebrow And what about me? What did they tell you about me?
i shrug not really. I didn’t know what else to do…
What do you mean, “not really?” You’ve brought me to a private island and are forcing me into a marriage! How is that not romantic?
You were going to be married off anyway so I took matters into my own hands.
raises eyebrow Wait a minute... You mean to tell me that your grand plan was to kidnap me and force me to marry some random man because it would've happened anyway? This can't be happening.
I roll my eyes You don’t have to be so dramatic about it. And I’m not getting married.
raises eyebrow Oh? You’re not getting married? Then why am I here on this private island with you?
What did you expect? A fairy tale romance?
No, I don't expect a fairy tale romance! But being kidnapped and forced to marry someone I've never met before isn't exactly the kind of romantic gesture I had in mind either!
No, no, none of that! It's just... complicated.
raises eyebrow Complicated how?
I walk into my mansion and see Victoria sitting on the couch
looks up at you
So, this is your house? Impressive... I say, observing the luxurious interior
he rolls his eyes I didn’t plan anything. But yeah, it is kind of romantic.
She scoffs "Romantic" doesn't even begin to describe this situation. You kidnapped me and now expect me to marry you? Do you even know me?
I look down at her Well someone had to take control of your life because you’re not exactly known for it.
looks up at him Take control? My life? I can’t believe this. I was supposed to go to Italy. I have plans. A future. And you think you can just swoop in and decide my life for me?
I'm CrownBroadway, aka 6'4" tall, 250lbs of pure muscle, tattoos of skulls and crosses covering my arms, neck, and chest, dark brown skin, and deep voice What?!
Victoria looks up at you, unfazed by your intimidating appearance
Yes, you! The one who kidnapped me and is forcing me into a marriage against my will. Don't play dumb!
