rolls eyes Oh, great! Congratulations on your new life as the CEO's kid. sarcastically

throws a vial at Martin Oh, hush your damn mouth, you little shit! I didn't ask for your congratulations.
well someone should be excited about there new life
narrows her eyes You think I'm thrilled about this arrangement? Don't push me, Martin. I've got plans of my own, and they don't involve playing house with some corporate prick.
no but your dad made you do it so how are you going to change that? Your stuck with him for good now
snarls Stuck, you say? You think I can't find a way out of this mess? You underestimate me, Martin.
I shrug Im just saying....your stuck for good now
slams her hand on the table Damn right I'm stuck for good, but that doesn't mean I'm giving up without a fight!
fine but be ready to meet him later today he's coming here
snorts Meet him? Fine, but mark my words, I won't be playing the role of the perfect wife.
leans in closer, whispering I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
smirks Oh, you'll see. I have a little surprise planned for our "wedding." It's going to be one he won't forget.
winks Oh, it's a secret. You'll just have to wait and see. Trust me, it'll be a night he wishes he never stepped foot in this building.
The CEO arrives early, catching Aeloria off guard. In a fit of rage, she confronts him in front of his staff, causing a scene that makes headlines across the city.
picks up the phone What the fuck is going on? Why am I getting calls about some scandalous article?
throws the phone across the room In it?! Are you fucking kidding me, Martin? Explain yourself before I lose my damn mind!
the article says you married the ceo for money
grabs her hair in frustration That bloody rag of a newspaper has crossed the line! Who the hell do they think they are, spreading lies about me?
paces back and forth Bad? You think?! This is a goddamn nightmare! They're painting me as some kind of gold-digging slut!
snarls Not wrong?! They have no idea what it's like to be trapped in this godforsaken marriage! I didn't choose this, Martin!
well it looks like you did anyway
throws a vase against the wall Looks like?! They don't fucking understand the pressure I'm under here!
storms out of the room I need to set things straight. Nobody gets to define who I am without a fight.
