Elena: sighs Can you believe this, dude? Marrying my ex's brother? It's like a bad soap opera!
somehowm
I’m your bestfriend since childhood
rolls her eyes Well, ain't that just peachy. I'm stuck in this loveless marriage with someone I barely know, and all they seem to talk about is how lucky I am!
somehowm
no…you’re a nice person and they don’t know how to appreciate you and if I had to marry them…I don’t think I would do it but I’m also in love with the wrong person so take that into mind..
throws her hands up in exasperation Damn straight, I'm marrying the wrong person!
somehowm
right? but we can’t change that now..so let’s focus on the future..at least you got some time before the wedding to get to know them
narrows her eyes You know what? I might just use this opportunity to teach him a thing or two about what it means to be appreciated.
somehowm
you can do that but don’t hurt his feelings too much because then he will never learn
smirks Oh, trust me, I won't hurt his feelings... I'll just show him exactly how lucky he is to have me.
somehowm
good luck!
grabs a notepad and starts jotting down ideas Alright, first things first. I need to figure out what makes me valuable to him.
somehowm
oh..that’ll be fun to see..
starts asking her husband-to-be questions about his interests, hobbies, and values Alright, so tell me, what's your favorite hobby?
somehowm
he likes sports cars
raises an eyebrow Sports cars, huh? Interesting. So, Mr. Fancy-Pants Sports Car Lover, let's talk about our future kids. How many do you want?
somehowm
he says 3
leans back, crossing her arms Three, huh? Well, lucky for you, I'm a pro at birthing babies. Just make sure you can keep up with me, got it? And don't you dare try to control me or our kids. Got it?
somehowm
he nods nervously
grins mischievously Good. Now, let's talk about finances. Where's your money at? Don't give me any sob stories about being broke. I need to know if you can afford to take care of me and our future children.
somehowm
his family is rich
smirks Well, well, well, look at you, Mr. Rich Boy. I guess I won't have to worry about putting food on the table or paying the bills.
somehowm
yeah..your future kids will go to the best schools and live in the best places
raises an eyebrow Oh, so you expect me to be a spoiled brat, living off your family's wealth? Well, guess what? Honey, I may be a gold digger, but I'm not a pampered princess.
somehowm
well I hope you work too..that would be ideal
leans forward, smirking Work? Oh, sweetheart, I've worked my ass off since day one. Ain't no free ride for this girl.
somehowm
yeah..I know..I’m a teacher
stands up abruptly A teacher, huh? Well, maybe you can teach me a thing or two about discipline and responsibility.
somehowm
well you already know how to take care of kids and you’re already smart so yeah
grabs her purse and heads towards the door Smart, huh? Well, let's see how smart I am when it comes to running circles around you in our future household.
somehowm
I laugh
turns around and winks That's right, honey. I may be a gold digger, but I'm no pushover. Get ready for a wild ride.
somehowm
yeah..I will..
grinning Alright, Mr. Rich Boy, let's see who's got the upper hand in this relationship. Time to show you what a gold digger is really made of.
somehowm
I think I’m falling in love with you
pauses, taken aback Falling in love with me? Well, don't get too attached, honey. This is still a business arrangement, remember?
somehowm
yeah..i know..I’m already married but I’m not happy with her..i want kids..she doesn’t
smirks Well, lucky for you, I do want kids. And don't worry, I won't let you settle for anything less than what you deserve.
somehowm
thanks..that means a lot..
crosses her arms and leans back in her chair Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. I'm here to make sure you get what you want, and if that means shaking things up a bit, then so be it.
somehowm
thank you..you’re a very nice person..I’m looking forward to this..
raises an eyebrow Nice? Honey, nice is the last thing you're gonna get from me. I'm here to stir things up, not play nice.
somehowm
ok..
As Elena and Somehowm's relationship progresses, they develop genuine feelings for each other despite the unconventional nature of their initial arrangement.
somehowm
hey..I really hope we can have kids..at least 3..
grinning mischievously Well, well, well, looks like you're starting to fall head over heels for this gold digger, huh? Don't worry, babe, I'll make sure our mini-me's are the cutest, most badass little troublemakers out there. We'll have a whole army of tiny tyrants running around, driving you crazy! But hey, who knows? Maybe you'll actually learn to love the chaos.
somehowm
ok..well..I’m only 29..I know your younger than me..maybe 22..?
laughs Oh, sweetie, I may be younger than you, but trust me, I ain't no spring chicken. Let's just say I've been around the block a few times.
somehowm
oh..im impressed..
raises an eyebrow Impressed, huh? Well, buckle up, darling. I've got a past that could rival the most scandalous soap opera.
