Sinclair Tech Crashes! 72% Stock Drop – Is This the End???
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
A woman screaming on television about my company… wow, just what I needed. Exactly what was missing from my bucket list.*sarcastically*
Sofia Moretti (FL PA)
Really, ma’am? That’s a pretty short bucket list…*nervous laugh, realizing her slip*
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
Sofia get out before i decide to give you overtime❄️❄️
Sofia Moretti (FL PA)
Y--Yes Ma'am..(Ma'am is scary)..
Sofia Moretti my personal assistant well I didn't have any option because the world--is full of traitors
But there is still some innocent looking people
The headlines again screamed what Valentina already knew
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
My boardroom, once buzzing with ambition, now echoed with silence. The last investor had just walked out. No one bets on a sinking empire.
Sofia Moretti (FL PA)
Except… one man, ma’am.*hesitates*
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
Who's the one man❄️
Sofia Moretti (FL PA)
Blake’s terms are…aggressive. *hesitates*
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
So am I.*cold*
Valentina’s knuckles turned white around the proposal. The numbers didn’t lie—she needed
Blackthorne Capital or bankruptcy.

Ep-2 Power Play
Blackthorne Tower – Blake’s Office
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
*stilettos crack like gunshots through the silent halls of Blackthorne Tower. Assistants scatter as she throws open Blake’s office doors without knocking.*
Luca Dawson (ML Bff/ML PA)
*Luca Dawson, Blake’s stoic PA, barely glances up from his tablet*.
Luca Dawson (ML Bff/ML PA)
Luca Dawson (ML Bff/ML PA)
(deadpan, not looking up)
Ms. Sinclair. He’s not in the mood.
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
*(storming past, icy glare)*
"Like I give a damn."
Blake blackthrone (ML)
*lounging behind his desk, swirling whiskey in a crystal glass*
Blake blackthrone (ML)
*Silent* *watching her with amused detachment.*
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
*slams a financial folder onto his desk*
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
Let’s get straight to the point.
*shoots Luca a glaring look.*
Luca Dawson (ML Bff/ML PA)
*rolls his eyes, muttering*
"Charming as ever."
Luca Dawson (ML Bff/ML PA)
Blake blackthrone (ML)
*sharp, commanding*
"Luca. Wait outside."
Luca Dawson (ML Bff/ML PA)
*pauses, scowls at Valentina*
Why—
Blake blackthrone (ML)
*stern, without raising his voice*
Now.
Luca exits, but not before throwing Valentina another glare.
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
*leaning in, voice low and dangerous* Twenty percent equity stake. Full voting rights. Together, we dominate the market.
Blake blackthrone (ML)
*chuckles darkly*
"Ah. So princess want me to save your sinking ship? What do you think I am—your knight in shining armor?"
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
(Not that f**king Nickname but calm down valentina if you want his investment)
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
*mocking smirk*
Ship metaphors. How original.
Blake blackthrone (ML)
*stands abruptly, towering over her as he slides a single sheet of paper toward her*
Blake blackthrone (ML)
*Smirks.* My terms.

The Clause
The single sheet of paper lay on the polished mahogany desk like a death warrant. Blake’s smirk was venomous, a silent promise of victory. Opposite him, Valentina’s pride was a shield of ice, but he could see the first hairline fractures forming.
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
(Breathe. Don't let him see you bleed.)
Blake blackthrone (ML)
*Doesn't touch the paper. His eyes drink in her simmering rage like it's a fine vintage.*
The terms are quite simple, Ms. Sinclair.
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
*Her voice is cold*
Stop f**king staring and just read the damn terms
Blake blackthrone (ML)
*A low, mocking chuckle*
Such language from a princess. Very well.
Blake blackthrone (ML)
*He finally picks up the paper.*
Clause one...
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
*Interrupting, her tone dripping with sarcasm.*
Let me guess. Do I shine your shoes or walk your dog?
Blake blackthrone (ML)
Nice idea but sad it's not mine idea *mocking*
Blake blackthrone (ML)
Clause 1: You retain the title of CEO. In name only. All major strategic and financial decisions will cross my desk for final approval.
Blake blackthrone (ML)
Clause 2: Your office moves. Next to mine.
Blake blackthrone (ML)
Clause 3: You are my 'plus-one' to every public event for the next 6 months.
Galas, charity auctions, investor summits... everything.
Valentina’s eyes narrow. This is humiliating, but not unheard of.
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
Stop joking!
Blake blackthrone (ML)
I am not joking Ms. Sinclair *smirk*
Blake blackthrone (ML)
*leaning in, voice dropping*
Clause 4: The press must believe we are in a romantic relationship.
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
*snapping*
Absolutely not. I am not pretending to be in love with you.
Blake blackthrone (ML)
*coldly*
You will. Or I pull the funding and let Sinclair Tech crumble by morning.
Blake blackthrone (ML)
The choice is yours, princess. My money, or your pride.
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
*Her mind reeling*
And why would I ever share my company's internal strategy to you?
Blake blackthrone (ML)
Cus i said so
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
*She stands, her chair scraping back violently.*
And you think I'll just listen? That I'll perform this... this sh*t for you?
Blake blackthrone (ML)
You will
Blake blackthrone (ML)
You don't have choice
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
I need to think about it
Blake blackthrone (ML)
*He calls out as she reaches for the handle.*
Don't think too long, princess. My offer has a very short expiration date.
Valentina Sinclair (FL)
*She throws the door open without looking back.*
You...!
*The door slams shut behind her, the sound echoing in the tense silence.*
