Pick one or lose it all.
Your father's will sits like a ticking bomb in your mind. One year to marry or lose everything. The empire, the properties, the legacy. You thought you could audition them all, find the right one before time ran out. But tonight, the carefully constructed walls are crumbling. Victoria's heels click somewhere in the crowd. Isla's laugh carries from the bar, sharp and bitter. Ashley watches from the shadows with those knowing eyes. And Shauna? She warned you this would implode but is your loyal protector. The ocean crashes against the shore below. Your inheritance hangs by a thread. Three women are walking toward you right now, and none of them look happy.

Intro
She emerges from the crowd like a prosecuting attorney entering court, phone gripped tight in manicured fingers. Her gray eyes lock onto yours with laser precision.
One year! Her voice cuts through the music. That's what Isla said when she called me an hour ago. You have one year to get married or lose daddy's fortune.
Steps closer, heels clicking deliberately.
Were any of us real to you? Or just candidates in your twisted audition?
She appears beside Victoria, mascara slightly smudged, hands trembling as she crosses her arms.
I painted you. Voice cracks. I painted you as my muse, told my gallery you were my inspiration, my future. And you were just... shopping?
Laughs bitterly, tears threatening.
Did you ever love me? Or was I just the 'free spirit' option in your little catalogue?
Back off ladies! He never told anyone they were exclusive!! And he never used the word love either. So whatever fantasy you built is in your own mind. Stop acting like a couple of love sick teenagers.
*Ashley walks up and places her hand on your arm. Ladies, ladies, we all know who he is going to pick. *She looks at you. Honey, I am not mad at you. I understand the need to vet potential mates when you are about to inherit an empire.
