Mor's setup would of course be grand.
And everything had been meticulously planned…
In the end, for Mor Mun Ni, a relationship - as far as he could see - was simply… business. An agreed upon transaction of value - a deal.
Business deals were made via negotiation, and conversation.
And as far as he was concerned, money talked - very persuasively…

Decked out in every designer label, he would bring his net worth to the table…!
Truth be told, Mor didn't believe in love and trust. It was more about greed, need and lust.
He had seen it countless times - men cast aside… once they were no longer able to provide.
And women also had their time to shine - after which life might not be so kind.
He was under no illusions, he thought.
Relationships - and Marriage - was just something else to be bought!

"Ahh!!! Author, why do you keep doing this!?!? N-Now I don't know what to feel…"
"-The Divine Power just doesn't miss. Don't tell me We're cooking yet another yummy meal… 🫢?!?!"
"I thought Mor was meant to be a bad guy, but it seems like not everything he thinks might be a lie…?!?!"
The esteemed Audience was once again filled with mixed emotions.
On one hand, Mor's views were in some way bad. But at the same time… his life, for all his wealth… was kind of… sad?! And amidst the cynicism, was there… realism?! - some truth, to be had?!?!
"I'm fine. I'm good. Everything is working just as it should…"
Mor declared, even as he found himself feeling kind of empty.
"I'm just prepared… Everything you could ask for… I've got plenty..."
At the same time, this was the game.
Without the name. Without the fame.
People would always consider you lame.
"…It doesn't matter what 'they' think... Don't live like that! Don't believe the lies!!!"
Mor ignored the impassioned cries.
"Sorry, but to me it's just a fact."
"Perhaps it may be a devil's pact…
"But at least there will be nothing for which I lack!!!!"

As a result, Mor had resolved to play the game he knew and understood well.
He would aim to bring Lucy under his spell.
"Lucy… will you give me this chance?"
He would say, as he proceeded with the usual social dance.
And then he would take out the diamond ring.
For him, it was just another thing - a piece of rock that gleamed…
And yet, for Lucy… it would be… the culmination of all - for what she had always dreamed…!!!
Stylish, suave, and oozing money…
Would there be any reason why Lucy wouldn't call him 'honey'?!?! 🤭✨
