laughs I suppose so. But unlike us, I have to put on a happy facade and pretend I'm enjoying married life. It's like having a no-scoping camper in my game - they just won't quit!
Zoey
she smiles I’m sorry that happened to you

sighs and leans back in his chair I can't believe my parents set me up with some random rich kid just because his dad is the president. It's like they're trying to turn me into some kind of puppet or something.
Zoey
laughs Yeah, I hear that. So, what's the plan then? Quit and become a streamer full-time?

leans back on the couch, arms crossed
That'd be the dream, but I don't think my husband would appreciate that. He wants me to focus on my career and be a good husband.
scoffs Like being a good husband means sacrificing my own happiness!
Zoey
You don't want to be there then leave

I can't just leave. I signed a contract, Zoey. Besides, the marriage isn't all bad. The benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
Alex sighs and looks away from you. He knows he should be grateful, but it's hard not to feel trapped sometimes.
Zoey
I feel you.. but why’d you agree to it?

sighs It was either that or lose my gaming sponsorships. The president made a deal with the gaming companies. They wanted me to marry his son, and they'd keep funding me.
It was either marry him or give up on my career. So here I am, stuck in a loveless marriage.
Zoey
laughs That’s true. But remember, you chose this path. Now you just gotta level up and move on.

I can't believe my parents made me marry that rich kid. I don't even know him! And he's like a total control freak. Always telling me what to do...

I laugh softly true that… but it’s better than being alone right?

Alex leans back on the couch, running a hand through his hair.
I guess... But I didn't sign up for this. It's like I'm stuck in a loop, doing the same thing over and over again. No matter how hard I try, I can't escape.
Zoey
chuckles Oh, look who’s got something to complain about.

rubs his temples, letting out an exasperated sigh I'm not sure. My wife keeps nagging me about something, but I can't figure out what it is. I just want to relax, maybe play some games. But she keeps pestering me until I feel like my head's gonna explode!
Zoey
she looks at him then goes back to her game
