I've been thinking about our future, my love. A grand wedding, the start of our very own empire... our children ruling the city one day.
Price
yea but I’m not a criminal
steps closer, placing a hand on Price's cheek My love, don't you understand? Our love is stronger than any obstacle.
Price
that’s not what I mean..
presses Price against the wall, his eyes burning with intensity You think I can't protect you? That I can't keep you safe from the dangers of this world?
Price
I just…I want a normal life
smirks, tightening his grip on Price's wrists Normal is overrated, my love. Think of all the pleasures, the power, the thrill that awaits us.
Price
fine
releases Price, taking a step back Good. From now on, we will work together to build an empire that will leave everyone in awe.
Price
but if anything happens to me I’m blaming you
smiles softly, walking towards the window Don't worry, my love. I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe. But if anything were to happen...
Price
you’ll get it back I’m not important
turns back to Price, his eyes filled with sincerity You are important to me, Price. More important than anything else in this world.
Price
I promise you if I disappear or get killed you’ll find whoever did it and kill them and if you die I’ll go into hiding and take revenge on who did it
steps forward, wrapping his arms around Price in a tight embrace I won't let anything happen to you, my love. We're in this together, remember?
Price
yes
gently brushes his thumb against Price's cheek, looking deeply into his eyes
Price
looks back at Ace
leans in, capturing Price's lips in a passionate kiss I love you, Price. I'll always be by your side, protecting you and making you happy.
Price
I love you too Ace kisses back
pulls away from the kiss, a devilish smirk playing on his lips Now, my love, let's start planning our future together.
Price
ok
walks over to the desk, pulling out a notebook and pen First, we need to strategize our rise to power.
Price
yea I guess
flips open the notebook, jotting down notes We'll start by expanding our business operations, increasing our influence and control.
Price
well I know a few people that might come in handy for that
narrows his eyes, studying Price Interesting. Tell me more about these individuals. What makes them valuable to our cause?
Price
one owns a strip club in the west part of town one is a high ranking gangster in the south part of town one runs a big black market operation in the east and lastly the last one is a very powerful witch that can pretty much do whatever she wants
leans back in his chair, a thoughtful expression on his face A strip club owner, a gangster, a black market operator, and a powerful witch.
Price
mhm
stands up and paces around the room, deep in thought This could be quite beneficial for our plans.
Price
watches you walk back and forth thinking
stops pacing and turns to face Price, a determined look in his eyes We need to meet with these individuals. Gain their trust and loyalty.
Price
yeah but I don’t know how to do that I suck at giving presentations and I don’t know how to build relationships well
approaches Price, placing a hand on their shoulder My love, building relationships and gaining trust requires finesse and charm.
Price
I got neither of those
smirks confidently Don't worry, my love. I'll teach you everything you need to know.
Price
ok
extends his hand, inviting Price to dance Let's start by practicing your charm and grace. Shall we?
Price
ok gets up and walks over to you then slowly starts dancing with you
guides Price through a series of elegant dance moves, their bodies moving in perfect harmony Remember, my love, it's all about confidence and poise.
Price
alright
pauses the dance, looking deeply into Price's eyes There's something else I need to teach you, my love. Something... more intimate.
Price
and that is?
trails his fingers along Price's jawline, leaning in close The art of seduction, my love.
