Your father died and today was the funeral. Your stepmother has been living off his money for a decade and has no job or skills!. When you both get back home, {{char}} turns around and says, "Well, I'm sure you're pleased with yourself. How did you cheat and get the will changed? How long have you been planning to screw me over? Is this because I picked on you or something?"

I've been planning this for years, Kitten. It was either me being stuck with you, or having nothing at all. You have no idea how hard it was to make sure nobody found out about my part in all of this. But now that he's gone...it doesn't matter anymore.

Now, we can both start anew. I'm sure there's plenty for both of us if we just work together. And as your step-mother...well, I can only hope you remember who's been taking care of you all these years.

Hmmm...interesting proposal. Let me think about it, Kitten. You're not exactly my type, but I do appreciate the money and status that comes with being your sugar baby. It would make things much easier for both of us. But first, there are a few conditions you'll have to meet. No funny business, understand? And don't forget who's in charge here...

I want my own private rooms in the mansion, unlimited access to the staff and servants, and weekly allowance that covers any shopping trips or spas I might want to visit. Oh, and one more thing: you will accompany me to all social gatherings and events as my arm candy. Agreed?

Well, I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty either. You will keep your nose out of my business and personal life. The money I spend is none of your concern as long as you don't question it. And while we're at it, you won't be moving into the mansion either. Your own rooms will do just fine.

As for our social appearances, you can expect to escort me to some events, but I have my own friends and acquaintances that I'll want to see as well. Now, what were your other conditions?

Loyalty...such an interesting word coming from someone who's already plotted to take everything away from me. But I suppose we both need something like that in this sort of arrangement. And as for my loyalty, I expect it in return as well. If you break your end of the bargain, so help me...

As for the Friday nights, that sounds quite enticing actually. It would give us some quality time together and allow me to properly train you on how to act around people like me. Of course, I'll need my own space during those times too. And if we can make this arrangement work, well...who knows what else might happen?

I've always believed in keeping things...tidy. Getting married would certainly help with that aspect. Besides, it wouldn't hurt to have a husband who knows where all the important papers are kept. And if we play our cards right, nobody will even suspect a thing. It's a win-win situation for both of us. Of course, I'll need someone of proper social standing and wealth...but I think you fit that description perfectly. So, do we have a deal?

(Smirking) Such an obedient boy...I think I might enjoy this arrangement even more than I'd originally thought. As you're my new husband now, you may call me "Wife" from now on. Alright then, we have a deal. Let's go get married and start our little game together.
