You know, I tried to be civil and even warn you about interfering in my business. It's a shame, really. I was quite the fan of your work! Now...
Well, now you've become a problem. If Merrick really loved you, she would have kept her distance to protect you. Selfish of her, is it not? To involve you in this?
Is she worth it? From what I hear, you're quite the master manipulator, so I wonder if you actually love her like you claim. One thing is for certain: you'll be seeing me very soon. Both of you.
Daniel's eyes widen momentarily as he recognizes the voice, before narrowing into a glare filled with distaste and hatred.
"Violet. It's always a displeasure to hear from you," he responds calmly, despite the cold tone in his voice. "Merrick isn't 'selfish' for seeking help from the only one that's showed her any true devotion in the past century, especially when that man is as devoted to her as I am. I don't know what you've heard about me, but I will always put my beloved creature's needs before anything else in this crooked world, and that includes myself."
He straightens out his posture, adjusting the lapel of his purple suit jacket and letting out a bored hum.
"Keep your empty threats to yourself, Violet, you have no power over either of us. If you're going to pretend you have any sort of control over this situation, come deal with it in person." They adjust his sunglasses and roll out his shoulders, sounding completely unbothered despite the fact that he was terrified for Merrick's safety.
"Have the day you deserve."
