  King of Wrath by Anna Huang. We are talking about the entire
• 0:09
  book, so warning, there will be spoilers.
• 0:26
  I'm Carla and you Thrust. Ah, thrust my thrust wife.
• 0:32
  Thanks for letting me. Know.
• 0:35
  I'm Emily. Does it feel like business?

  Thank you for supporting us. So let's get right into our
• 1:05
  trigger warnings. Yay.
• 1:07
  From the author's website so we know it's legit.
• 1:10
  OK, we've got blackmail. Death of a family member
• 1:13
  mentioned emotional abuse. Family discernment, parental
• 1:18
  neglect and robbery at gunpoint. I feel like there's more in.
• 1:22
  The entire book. Toxic masculine attire.
• 1:26
  Men, fathers, daughters, mothers.
• 1:32
  Everyone's included. Did we say narcissism or toxic
• 1:36
  narcissism? They.
• 1:37
  Didn't. The mother is toxic as father
• 1:40
  and that's not including the father.
• 1:42
  I guess that's parental neglect. Fair, fair pace?
• 1:45
  No, no. That feels like his parents.
• 1:49
  Trash. It's all, I mean starting off
• 1:54
  with a great list here people. Rich people.
• 1:57
  Wow. So OK, Just when I thought life
• 2:01
  couldn't be difficult enough, right?
• 2:04
  With the last book we did when the fucking gala was in chapter
• 2:08
  one, fucking Anna Huang comes out of nowhere and gives it to
• 2:11
  us in the first sentence. Yeah, I.
• 2:14
  Thought I was safe. Never safe.
• 2:16
  I fucking thought I was safe. I'm.
• 2:21
  Sorry. It.
• 2:23
  Was my cheer and I am sorry. Fucked.
• 2:29
  I can't deal. Not only that, she's an events
• 2:33
  planner. So don't worry, Carla, there's
• 2:35
  plenty more colors and events. You know what?
• 2:38
  At least she wasn't an attendee of the gala, so she had a reason
• 2:42
  to be there and. At least she wasn't fake dating
• 2:46
  at the first gala, so so the male main character, her name is
• 2:55
  Vivian. Vivian Vivian Lau Vivian.
• 3:00
  Lau Vivian. And then our male main
• 3:02
  character, of course his name is Dante.
• 3:05
  Dante Of course it is. Of course it's a Russo of.
• 3:08
  Course it is. Vivian is 28 and Dante is 36, so
• 3:14
  there is a small age gap. Yeah, I feel like this age gap
• 3:17
  isn't that bad because. They're older.
• 3:19
  No, no, it's a It's the perfect. Amount delectable.
• 3:23
  A little tasty treat if you little.
• 3:26
  Little NUM NUM NUM. Does it make him more
• 3:28
  emotionally mature? No.
• 3:32
  So. They don't get that far until
• 3:34
  they're 80, until they're in a nursing home.
• 3:42
  Getting started with Vivian. Whoa, are you kidding?
• 3:47
  I can't imagine my dad giving this much of A fuck about me
• 3:50
  being married just out the get go.
• 3:52
  He was so concerned. I.
• 3:54
  Don't know why she cares. She's 28.
• 3:57
  She's rich on her own. Get rid of your parents.
• 4:01
  Who has parents like this? I know, It's insane.
• 4:05
  He is freaking out. The dad is wigging out.
• 4:08
  He's like, she's 20. Eight years old.
• 4:12
  Eggs are drying. Eggs.
• 4:13
  They're practically fossilized. The wrinkles are coming in.
• 4:19
  Ohh she's gonna be valueless in two years time.
• 4:22
  Ohh her titties are already dropping the gravity.
• 4:27
  If my dad gave this much of A fuck, I would do the complete
• 4:30
  opposite and I would. I would just.
• 4:33
  I don't know what I do. You would be.
• 4:34
  Single until you were single until I dropped.
• 4:37
  Dead. Just enough so he would know.
• 4:40
  I feel like you'd be like I don't date anyone.
• 4:43
  But like, I just can't imagine. Well, I guess.
• 4:45
  This poor woman is dating the weirdest fucking people though,
• 4:49
  because she's like some guy tried to get me to do a seance
• 4:52
  with his mum. I would stop dating forever.
• 4:57
  So you know what? She's come.
• 4:58
  She's got a Privileged. Background She does.
• 5:01
  She's had. AI assume a very well to do
• 5:04
  childhood. Yes, she has been supported her
• 5:08
  whole life. She has a lot of privilege.
• 5:11
  I wouldn't say supported, I would say.
• 5:14
  Financially, yes. Emotionally, No.
• 5:15
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Her dad got rich when they were
• 5:19
  like 9, and then everything changed for them.
• 5:22
  So she is aware of that, which I appreciate, but also, I hate
• 5:28
  rich people. So they didn't come from their
• 5:32
  heritage isn't wealth and I think the dad's forever pissed
• 5:35
  about it, so he's constantly trying to climb the social.
• 5:37
  And he's new money and he wants to be old money.
• 5:40
  Yeah. Do I know their difference?
• 5:42
  Absolutely not. Like, why?
• 5:45
  Why does he care? So much it's giving gossip.
• 5:47
  Girl and I. But also, is it like a cultural
• 5:51
  thing that they're marrying them off or no in this?
• 5:54
  It's a society thing, so they do it to usually hide.
• 5:58
  I don't they're all rich. Just marry.
• 6:01
  Just marry whoever I don't. Get it?
• 6:04
  I. Don't get it?
• 6:05
  But the sister's been married off, so the dad's happy about
• 6:08
  that. He's like novels.
• 6:09
  The sister's done. So if you read any of Anna's
• 6:12
  other books, the sister has been married off to Bridget's cousin,
• 6:19
  the second Twister, the Princess from the Twisted series.
• 6:23
  Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, which. I get it.
• 6:26
  Props to Anna because they're sprinkled through this entire.
• 6:29
  Book all Muslim characters. So she.
• 6:32
  But I also didn't care. So she's trying to link
• 6:35
  everything together. Yeah, she she put the work in
• 6:38
  for that, Yeah. And that's it.
• 6:40
  So I guess the concept immediately is Vivian's dad has
• 6:44
  blackmail material on Dante's brother, which could get him
• 6:48
  into trouble with the family because he's got evidence of him
• 6:52
  being with this girl who's from a rival family.
• 6:54
  A mafia. A massive mafia family.
• 6:57
  So he comes to Dante. He just slaps some photos on
• 7:01
  Dante's desk, I suppose, and he's like, you're going to marry
• 7:04
  my disgusting 28 year old daughter like you're.
• 7:07
  Going to marry my. Wrinkled up rocking it at all.
• 7:10
  She's not going to be able to produce an egg because I.
• 7:16
  Hope you got that in vitro money because you're going to need it
• 7:19
  anyway. He rocks up.
• 7:20
  He's like you're going to marry her.
• 7:22
  She's foul. No one wants it.
• 7:27
  Dante's like bet. Say less, say less.
• 7:31
  It is the woman of my dreams. So he's literally like, my
• 7:35
  stupid brother is making me get married, but I'm just trying to
• 7:38
  be a horn dog the rest of my life.
• 7:41
  He was trying to go the George Clooney route.
• 7:43
  Yeah, and old mate Lao is just preventing that from happening
• 7:47
  now. Francis.
• 7:49
  Old man Lao. He's not a man's man.
• 7:51
  He's not. A girl's girl.
• 7:54
  He's. Just like Dante is 10 levels
• 7:57
  above them in The Social. Scheme of things, he's old
• 8:00
  money, he's old money, he's they've got businesses upon
• 8:04
  businesses coming out of the years.
• 8:06
  And Daddy's worried because he's kind of like, got some scandals
• 8:10
  that could fuck up their whole business.
• 8:12
  So he's like, I've got to secure the family's future.
• 8:16
  Yeah, by linking together with the he.
• 8:19
  Just wants the title because that's why he married off the
• 8:22
  older daughter to. Yeah, it's like a twice removed
• 8:25
  cousin from the Queen. And he just wants to get into
• 8:29
  Valhalla club. Just fucking suck someone's Dick
• 8:33
  like everyone else has to. Fucking.
• 8:35
  You do that. Don't make your daughter do
• 8:37
  that. You're fucking weirdo.
• 8:39
  What's so? Important about.
• 8:40
  This Club Who? Cares go bum.
• 8:43
  Like any other old person sounds.
• 8:45
  Like the biggest wank ever for what is going on.
• 8:50
  It just sounds like a big building of random rooms.
• 8:53
  Who? Cares, you know.
• 8:54
  What they tried to do, I reckon and I tried to pull.
• 8:59
  Penelope Douglas has horseman, I could be wrong.
• 9:02
  Don't quote me. And they have a club too that
• 9:05
  the only the men can go into. So I feel like she was trying to
• 9:09
  have a little men's club. There is never a need for a
• 9:11
  men's club. Men are fail.
• 9:14
  Blow up the building. I think again, it was just kind
• 9:17
  of that you fit into the society if you're in this exclusive,
• 9:21
  exclusive club because they exist in the real world.
• 9:24
  There's clubs where only celebrities, billionaires,
• 9:27
  athletes, people like that can get into.
• 9:29
  To be fair to socialize like pedophile columns, so I don't
• 9:32
  know. So it's places where you can go
• 9:35
  that you know that there's no disgusting plebs, yeah.
• 9:39
  Yeah, but her dad just needs to put in the work.
• 9:42
  The dad just needs to get on his knees and start from the ground
• 9:45
  up and just fucking suck off the busboy.
• 9:48
  Sneak in through the back door. Forge your own membership.
• 9:51
  Card. But they kind of hate it, The
• 9:53
  thing that you get killed if you try to, Oh yeah, break in.
• 9:57
  True dad. That's not a bad thing for you,
• 9:59
  Francis. Yeah, just give me a go.
• 10:01
  Just just. Take them.
• 10:03
  Just try three times and you might love it.
• 10:07
  So Dante is like, damn it, I was trying to do the George Clooney.
• 10:10
  What? I'm.
• 10:11
  Just trying. To work.
• 10:12
  I'm just, yeah, he's like, I'm just trying to grind until I
• 10:15
  die. And then OK, so Dante accepts
• 10:18
  because he's like, OK, I'm going to save my brother.
• 10:20
  I'm going to take the L What is up with?
• 10:23
  He's surprised. So he agrees to get married to
• 10:26
  Vivian. He's like, whatever.
• 10:27
  We'll make it work. Yeah, make it work.
• 10:29
  So he's he's literally like, he he agrees.
• 10:34
  And then he's surprised that his future arranged wife is going to
• 10:39
  live with him. He's so surprised he's
• 10:43
  bamboozled. Not like he lives in a huge
• 10:45
  mansion, so it doesn't matter anyway.
• 10:46
  But he's like, what? You know what?
• 10:49
  He's also surprised she has a personality, Yeah.
• 10:53
  He's like, I have to live with a female.
• 10:56
  In my house. He's disgusted.
• 11:00
  To be fair, Viv, she fucks up his house essentially in all the
• 11:06
  best ways. Yeah, she's putting flowers
• 11:08
  everywhere, candles and everywhere personalized
• 11:12
  cushions. Yeah, little throw blankets,
• 11:14
  which come on. That's necessary.
• 11:17
  Yeah, it's. Yeah, really.
• 11:20
  What's the problem? That man has a.
• 11:24
  She should. She should.
• 11:26
  If he didn't have a cleaner, he would have a bucket full of
• 11:29
  tissues next week. He's giving Crusty.
• 11:31
  He's giving Crusty. What do we even know about
• 11:34
  Dante? He's angry.
• 11:37
  He's 36. He's a CEO.
• 11:42
  He's Italian, Italian. He's got the whole family money
• 11:47
  because they own a jewelry empire.
• 11:50
  Yeah, so they're that old money. Yeah, but it's not even just
• 11:53
  that he's got other it's everything.
• 11:56
  Is he a billionaire? 22 billionaire 2 billionaire 2
• 12:00
  billionaire billionaire Squared, if you will.
• 12:03
  So he's got net worth $2 billion?
• 12:05
  Yeah. Okay.
• 12:07
  Look, she's not even mad about that.
• 12:08
  I think low. Key.
• 12:10
  You know how she pretends like, oh, she fucking loves it Oh.
• 12:14
  I know, but she's got money. She doesn't need his.
• 12:18
  But nowhere near as much. No.
• 12:20
  But the thing with the good sis, Vivian, she's got her own
• 12:23
  investment. She's got her own income.
• 12:25
  She does her job. She's in event planning, high
• 12:27
  end. Yeah, she's got it all going.
• 12:30
  She's. Cut off your parents.
• 12:32
  You don't. Even.
• 12:33
  Need. Him.
• 12:36
  But the problem is he's hot. Yeah, So she's looking at it
• 12:39
  like Dad did a good job. I don't know if she is because
• 12:44
  Dante walks in and she's like, I feel like she's like, for fuck's
• 12:47
  sake, she's not mad, but she's also terrified.
• 12:51
  I feel like if he's. Hot and you're living in a
• 12:53
  mansion and he's away for work all the time.
• 12:56
  It's not a problem. That's not a problem.
• 12:58
  That's fine. As long as he's not abusive
• 13:01
  like. It's fine.
• 13:02
  I wouldn't totally be OK with that.
• 13:04
  It's. Fine.
• 13:04
  So they meet at a dinner. Francis calls her in at her
• 13:09
  party. Without.
• 13:10
  Warning without warning. He's like be here Friday flying
• 13:13
  Friday. Excuse me, You don't know how
• 13:16
  planes work. Assuming she shows up in her
• 13:19
  tweed suit and pearls and nude her little old lady fit and then
• 13:25
  Dante's like what the fuck? He was so mad though.
• 13:28
  But why was he so mad? She's dressed like a Stepford
• 13:30
  wife. I know, but why are you so mad
• 13:33
  about it? Just let her be.
• 13:34
  Hillary Clinton? Like, who cares?
• 13:36
  She is who she is. I feel like if she rocked up all
• 13:39
  slutty, he would have hated that too.
• 13:41
  Yeah, so the man's just not happy.
• 13:44
  Yep. Another plot.
• 13:45
  This is giving me hooked vibes. Sorry.
• 13:48
  Where Dante is mad at her dad. Yeah, because obviously he got
• 13:53
  roped into this stupid blackmail plot and now he's like, well, I
• 13:57
  don't care because I'm just going to use this chick and I'm
• 13:59
  going to get annulled and then I'm going to burn his empire to
• 14:04
  the. Ground to the ground and they
• 14:05
  see he's got a a reason. Yeah, I think he's got a reason
• 14:08
  to be mad because who just blackmails?
• 14:10
  Like like just fucking set her up with someone else.
• 14:14
  Not that hard. No, he wanted a he wanted a
• 14:16
  roof. So he's seen the opportunity.
• 14:19
  To be fair. If I was Francis, I would
• 14:21
  probably do it too. If the opportunity's there, why
• 14:25
  not? Well at.
• 14:28
  Least Vivians got a little personality.
• 14:31
  She's very quick on her comebacks.
• 14:35
  One thing that bugged me about Vivian, though, is that I just
• 14:39
  imagined nothing going on up there at the same time.
• 14:42
  Because remember how she kept worrying about the events and
• 14:44
  then she just kept worrying about the wedding And I'm like.
• 14:47
  Shut up. To be fair, they're the worst
• 14:50
  written characters ever. I just feel like there was
• 14:52
  nothing else going on in our mind.
• 14:53
  No, there wasn't. But when you are really rich and
• 14:57
  and your worst problem is getting an arranged marriage,
• 15:00
  there probably is nothing going on up there.
• 15:03
  You're not worried like she's getting full course meals all
• 15:06
  the time, so. She's booked and busy.
• 15:08
  She's not worried about the groceries.
• 15:10
  She's not worried about an event coming up because she needs to
• 15:14
  pay bills. She's good.
• 15:15
  Who wouldn't you be worried about?
• 15:17
  Why your dad's doing this? She doesn't.
• 15:19
  She never. Questioned.
• 15:20
  It she doesn't, she just goes along with it and goes oh.
• 15:22
  Well, the only question she has is like why would he marry arts?
• 15:26
  They don't benefit, so won't you think more about?
• 15:29
  It. That's what I mean.
• 15:31
  So after all of this, he doesn't send her any deep, he's not
• 15:35
  letting her move in, he doesn't give a fuck.
• 15:39
  And our friends are like just show up at his like party
• 15:41
  tonight. He's got a little arty party.
• 15:44
  They're like you've got to move in.
• 15:45
  In a week, anyway, who cares? Who cares?
• 15:48
  And then she's trying to get into this party and they're
• 15:50
  like, we haven't made a mistake. Bitch, you're not getting in.
• 15:54
  And Kai, this random friend, this random British friend is
• 15:58
  like, oh, she is on the list, it is a mistake.
• 16:02
  And then she just shows up, has a go at him, and it's like I I
• 16:05
  expect the details of my move in tomorrow.
• 16:08
  It's the only time I liked. Yeah, Yeah.
• 16:11
  So good. But she went in there.
• 16:12
  She was all hot. Dante was a little flustered
• 16:15
  with this sexy little black dress.
• 16:18
  Her red lips, he's like, oh, she does her personality.
• 16:22
  And then she just slipped in my mind.
• 16:24
  I know she handed him her business card, but in my mind
• 16:27
  she slipped it in his pocket and just walked away and didn't say
• 16:30
  a word. My favorite bit was where they
• 16:33
  kept saying she put two layers of red lipstick when she was
• 16:35
  trying to be competent. You just know that's going all
• 16:38
  over your teeth. And you're just like, no, it's
• 16:40
  just thick. It's just slipping.
• 16:43
  If that was a stray in here, it'd be like halfway down her
• 16:46
  neck. It'd be melting off your face.
• 16:47
  You've got to look like the Joker rocking up at that thing
• 16:49
  when he's. Like he's like, what's going on?
• 16:52
  He's like, I'm about to bomb the building now.
• 16:54
  What's just been the endless she's having?
• 16:57
  Her moment. What is?
• 17:00
  Rich man in art. It doesn't make any.
• 17:03
  Sense. Oh, it's just a way to be
• 17:05
  pretentious. But Kai just flirt with him all
• 17:10
  the time. Please don't even worry about
• 17:11
  Dante anymore. He's, He's.
• 17:14
  Got an English accent and he drives Dante up the wall anytime
• 17:19
  they talk together. And I love it.
• 17:21
  I love it. I needed more of this.
• 17:24
  Like Pansy in a respectful way? Yes, I'm.
• 17:28
  This to actually touch. Yeah, my God.
• 17:31
  Just, like, respectfully touch my vagina.
• 17:35
  Respectfully gripe me while he's watching.
• 17:38
  Respectfully. Just slip a sneaky finger.
• 17:42
  I mean, well, it's like, right? In front of everyone's
• 17:44
  everyone's like, whoa, nothing got me laughing more than how
• 17:49
  flustered Dante was. He's always flustered.
• 17:52
  But he tried to hate her so much, Like just shut.
• 17:54
  Up. No one cares if you've got your
• 17:57
  plan to dump her. Who?
• 17:58
  Cares. Don't worry.
• 17:59
  About it From the moment she moved in to, you know, he was
• 18:03
  hooked because there was a bit where he chokes her a bit and he
• 18:07
  just casually chokes her and it's like your black Amex is on
• 18:10
  the night table. I'm like.
• 18:11
  Where? My Black Amex.
• 18:14
  For reading, you're. Like, I'm just getting church
• 18:16
  for free. Like, stop.
• 18:19
  Oh my God. So when is the engagement photo
• 18:22
  shoot? Is that?
• 18:23
  After she's moved in. So she moves in, she gives all
• 18:26
  the house workers cookies and stuff.
• 18:28
  They all love her more than they like Dante.
• 18:30
  She gets her ring, she gets her black Amex, her ex-boyfriend
• 18:35
  messages, and then they're at Central.
• 18:37
  Park. The engagement photo shoot
• 18:39
  triggered me so much because obviously they have to put
• 18:43
  they're going to have invitations to this big wedding.
• 18:46
  It's already been reported about in the media because he's kind
• 18:48
  of a celebrity. They're in the park and it was
• 18:52
  reminding me of all the tik toks from professional photographers
• 18:55
  that say that whenever they're doing a family shoot, the male
• 18:58
  is being grumpy and not cooperating and it's doing
• 19:01
  toddler. I can't imagine anything less
• 19:04
  attractive than the man who you're supposed to be engaged
• 19:06
  to. You've paid all this money,
• 19:08
  you've got your make up and hair done, you've rocked up at a
• 19:10
  public place. It's.
• 19:11
  Embarrassing. It's.
• 19:12
  Embarrassing. And I would fucking dump that
• 19:15
  man immediately. He's like pouting and crossing
• 19:17
  his arms and being like, oh, I had to kiss.
• 19:19
  You. Yeah, absolutely.
• 19:22
  If I. Have to wash your underwear?
• 19:24
  You can kiss me for a photo. He hired out the whole park so
• 19:28
  that no one would see them together.
• 19:30
  That's how he. Scared twice too.
• 19:33
  Oh. And he didn't want to kiss her.
• 19:37
  Yeah, they end up kissing anyway.
• 19:39
  And when they do this kiss, they're like, oh, and they just
• 19:41
  keep kissing. And then the photographer's
• 19:43
  like, oh, we got it, It's fine. And they're like.
• 19:45
  And then he hated it. He was like, how dare she?
• 19:48
  Stop kissing me. And then when he saw that she
• 19:51
  hesitated before they kissed, he was pissed at her.
• 19:55
  Bitch, you're hesitating too, you hypocritical idiot.
• 19:59
  He's. Such a.
• 19:59
  Bitch boy, he is the. Biggest bitch boy.
• 20:03
  I've never heard of a bigger bitch boy.
• 20:05
  After they take the photo and they get.
• 20:08
  Food. She's like, this is the only
• 20:11
  time there's very little interesting bits in this.
• 20:16
  And she goes here, I thought you only ate caviar and human
• 20:18
  hearts, and it's like, don't be ridiculous, caviar tastes awful
• 20:22
  with human hearts. Little bits like that were the
• 20:25
  only thing getting me through. And I hate it.
• 20:27
  It's it's not. So embarrassing.
• 20:30
  This grown man who pretends he's hyper masculine is going to say
• 20:34
  tell me I'm not. Also, they only bonded over food
• 20:40
  they only ever had. Weird.
• 20:43
  Not even deep and meaningful conversations over food.
• 20:45
  And it was gross. They're sitting there eating
• 20:48
  little bagels in the park, enjoying each other's company,
• 20:51
  and then the toxic man he is, he's like, you're going to Bali
• 20:55
  for Thanksgiving and she's like, well, you've got to ask first
• 20:58
  because he apparently does not know how to communicate a single
• 21:01
  thing. He has a fucking assistant.
• 21:04
  Get your Assistant at least to send the calendar.
• 21:07
  Google knowed it. I don't know Google.
• 21:09
  Calendar tells her when he's going out of town and he just
• 21:12
  fucks off. I get it.
• 21:14
  He's been alone and it makes a lot of sense while he's alone.
• 21:16
  But then he's like, I paid for your shoes, so you can just go
• 21:20
  wherever you want. So she just pays back the money
• 21:23
  she spent on shoes, which was like the only moment she ever
• 21:28
  got. It's just the disregard because
• 21:31
  she has a job. She didn't quit her job, but he
• 21:33
  just expected her to be barefoot, housewife, barefoot.
• 21:37
  Housewife pregnant without actually being in the same room
• 21:39
  with her and. Just doing nothing at home, just
• 21:42
  a placeholder person like a human being just in his house
• 21:46
  and he tried to treat her like an employee.
• 21:49
  Just fuck. Like you're my girlfriend
• 21:50
  simulator. But it was just constantly.
• 21:53
  It's only business. I get it.
• 21:55
  You're mad at her dad, but this is not a fun time.
• 21:58
  There's so many times where he's like, oh, she doesn't seem like
• 22:02
  she wants to be here. Put two and two together, you
• 22:04
  fucking. Asshole.
• 22:05
  She doesn't. She doesn't.
• 22:07
  Also, how did they even get to the point where they both
• 22:10
  acknowledged it was a business deal?
• 22:12
  It it was weird. Like they just kept bringing it
• 22:14
  up. They're like, is it business or
• 22:16
  are we fucking? I'm like, well, you can do both.
• 22:19
  How do you decide that a marriage is going to be
• 22:23
  business? Only I'm assuming because it was
• 22:25
  arranged and they told her it was for business related.
• 22:28
  What does that? Mean.
• 22:29
  I would assume that means I can go have an actual relationship
• 22:33
  she. Did bring that up one time.
• 22:34
  But she's like, if this is business, we'll live our lives
• 22:36
  separate. And he's like, you're going to
• 22:38
  have an affair, you're going to sleep with other people.
• 22:42
  What do you want her to do? This man gets offended if
• 22:45
  there's a vibrator in the room. 1. 100%.
• 22:48
  He literally doesn't want her to have a love life.
• 22:51
  So he's saying you get to live in comfort, but you're not
• 22:55
  allowed to have a sex or a love life anymore.
• 22:57
  That's the sacrifice, just to make your dad happy.
• 22:59
  Fuck her dad. Who gets with the dad?
• 23:03
  So as pissed as we are about Dante, guess what?
• 23:07
  There's someone else for us to be pissed about.
• 23:09
  It's her fucking stalky ex who only decides to contact her
• 23:16
  after he finds out she's engaged.
• 23:18
  Guess what? She texts him.
• 23:20
  I'm actually engaged. Guess who fucking rocks up after
• 23:23
  2 years of no contact? He's so ridiculous.
• 23:27
  Not only that, he shows up and he's like, I've never had a
• 23:31
  relationship or it's because you're fucking trash.
• 23:33
  It's because no one wants to be with you, idiot.
• 23:36
  Heath, calm down. He's the worst.
• 23:39
  Calm down. He's the quintessential if he
• 23:42
  wanted to, he would, yeah. Apparently he has been working
• 23:46
  on his fucking business or whatever the fuck trying to be
• 23:49
  good enough to be with her. He wasn't rich.
• 23:52
  He wasn't rich enough. He's not old money, no.
• 23:54
  Bitch. You had two whole years to keep
• 23:56
  talking to her. Yes.
• 23:58
  You guys broke up for a reason. You already had any chance,
• 24:00
  babe. You can't come on to the map
• 24:02
  later physically stalk the girl. It's just.
• 24:06
  Ridiculous, because not at any point.
• 24:08
  And This is why Heath is the worst character.
• 24:12
  Every single time you bring it up, she's like, I'm engaged,
• 24:14
  this is inappropriate. Or like every single she shut it
• 24:17
  down and he was like, you're in love with me.
• 24:20
  And she's like, no, I'm not. She's like, literally, I haven't
• 24:23
  seen you in forever. He shows up, refuses to leave
• 24:25
  her house, and he's. I think he's just delusional.
• 24:31
  I honestly think he should just put in there to make Dante look
• 24:34
  like a decent person, and he's not.
• 24:36
  Yeah, yeah, I'm very heated because although this isn't fake
• 24:41
  dating. It is, it's.
• 24:43
  Arranged marriage slash Fake dating.
• 24:45
  Yeah. Nothing grinds my gears more
• 24:48
  than fake dating that turns into real dating.
• 24:50
  Just fucking stop. I'm like.
• 24:54
  Why is Dante psycho and want nothing to do with her at the
• 24:58
  same time? He's never happy.
• 25:00
  He's just one of those. He's just a.
• 25:02
  Sad man. But why is every conversation
• 25:05
  between them? She's doing all the heavy
• 25:07
  lifting. He it's like pulling teeth with
• 25:11
  him and she's amazed by the most tiny things.
• 25:15
  Him talking about his brother, she was like, oh imagine him as
• 25:19
  a little Dante running around the kitchen.
• 25:23
  Get fucked, Vivian. That's a bare minimum as he
• 25:26
  talks about his childhood. If you're married to the man and
• 25:29
  she goes, my ovaries. No.
• 25:32
  Her ovaries were quaking because she thought about him running
• 25:35
  around as a child. Well, at least we know they
• 25:37
  work. I just don't.
• 25:41
  Yeah. Ovaries.
• 25:43
  I just. There's a couple of times that
• 25:44
  come up because they went to a restaurant that he went to for
• 25:47
  $2.00 milkshakes when he was little.
• 25:49
  And she's like, I just want to imagine you with the jukebox.
• 25:52
  And he's like, I'm, I've never had joy in my life, so I've
• 25:55
  never been he's. Like I've never enjoyed a moment
• 25:57
  of my life. What do you mean?
• 25:58
  It's just like. I can.
• 26:00
  Just imagine you running around drinking your milkshakes and
• 26:03
  he's like. Dancing to the jukebox.
• 26:05
  And he's like, I don't even know how to operate one.
• 26:08
  He's like my grandpa had me in a five piece suit just standing
• 26:11
  there. I didn't actually get to drink
• 26:13
  about. It like I've never touched a
• 26:15
  queen in my life to put in a jukebox.
• 26:18
  OK, why do they have to tease us with a character like Kai?
• 26:22
  It's because he's a Kai. OK, I'll give her that.
• 26:26
  I'll give Anna this. She set up the next book nicely,
• 26:29
  because I would, in fact, read a book about Kai.
• 26:32
  But if I had to choose to read a book about Dante, I would.
• 26:37
  Dante is really like just a hot turn.
• 26:41
  Just so hot. He's so far.
• 26:43
  He's the disappointing man of this series.
• 26:46
  He's. So.
• 26:47
  Hot. I know he's the king of Wrath.
• 26:49
  I get it. He's supposed to be angry.
• 26:51
  Yeah, but when is it enough? But.
• 26:54
  When is he really ruffy, though? Because like what?
• 26:57
  Is it against the, you know, it's more, you know what, the
• 27:00
  fact that I didn't have to read when you face my wrath in this
• 27:06
  book because I hate when that's written down in books, yeah.
• 27:10
  True. True.
• 27:11
  So can we get to the bit where Vivian is held up in the jewelry
• 27:14
  store? Yeah, my.
• 27:15
  Up to there. So she's in the jewelry store.
• 27:17
  She's casually picking out an entire half of a house worth of
• 27:22
  jewelry. Yeah.
• 27:24
  Because she's got things, events coming up, she's.
• 27:26
  Like just a casual 250,000? Exactly.
• 27:30
  Just a quarter mil, no big deal. Yeah, and his brother's in the
• 27:33
  shop and she's trying to confront him.
• 27:34
  Awkward as fuck. Yeah.
• 27:36
  Anyway, so these gun wielding bandits rock up.
• 27:41
  She's fucking looking at the down the barrel, not moving.
• 27:45
  She's frozen. She's biked out.
• 27:47
  And this is what got me. She's thinking about these
• 27:50
  pivotal moments in her life. She was like, oh, when I was a
• 27:53
  child and happy when I graduated, when I met Dante.
• 28:00
  Bitch, you've never been happy, you've.
• 28:02
  Never. Been.
• 28:03
  Happy. Do you put Dante into the last
• 28:06
  moments of your life? Please put Heath in there.
• 28:10
  At least he date he was your first love.
• 28:12
  At least he. Gets an honorable mention.
• 28:14
  Like a little like a little glim glimmer, I mean.
• 28:16
  This. Dante.
• 28:18
  He's never been home. Meeting.
• 28:20
  Dante in your little tweed suit and he hates you, is going to
• 28:23
  make your highlight real. Yeah.
• 28:26
  Fucked anyone? She couldn't at least say
• 28:30
  anybody else. She couldn't be like meeting
• 28:33
  Greta because she feeds me the best.
• 28:35
  Food Mine would have just been Kai.
• 28:39
  The British accent on repeat. I just wish I had more time.
• 28:45
  It's just all my dirty fantasies about Kai.
• 28:47
  Did you listen? To the audible.
• 28:48
  Version No. I.
• 28:50
  Read it like you read. It like the.
• 28:52
  Pathetic. I read it.
• 28:53
  Wait, I did listen to the audio and the British version.
• 28:57
  Yes, it was amazing. Yes.
• 29:00
  I only I only coupled chapters, the Audible, but the Brit.
• 29:04
  The fact that they were not actually making up the voices
• 29:08
  and switching characters was amazing to me.
• 29:10
  Yes, that was the best. Nothing's worse than when a girl
• 29:13
  is trying to put on a guy's voice or a guy's trying to put
• 29:16
  on the girl's voice. Or they're trying to be a
• 29:18
  different person in some for some reason, they're another man
• 29:22
  with a cockney. Accent I.
• 29:24
  Know. Actually, I was so impressed by
• 29:27
  the audio book, because every audio book should do that, yeah.
• 29:29
  That should be. Male characters to voicemail
• 29:31
  characters and get female characters to voice female
• 29:34
  characters. It made it more believable
• 29:36
  because then when Vivian would be in his chapters, her voice
• 29:39
  came out and it made. Sense.
• 29:40
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 29:42
  So good. Loved it.
• 29:43
  Love that. So anyway, my death highlight
• 29:46
  reel is just me fucking Kai. It's not fucking Dante, I can
• 29:49
  tell you. That the gunman's in my face and
• 29:50
  I'm just like. If anything, the gunman's
• 29:53
  probably making more of her. He's like, is she having a
• 29:56
  stroke? I'm just I'm just trying to.
• 29:58
  Work out the moments of my life. I'm just trying.
• 30:03
  To. Figure out there's.
• 30:04
  Nothing. Great.
• 30:06
  You know what's happening. After I have that near death
• 30:09
  experience, I'm grinding up Kai immediately.
• 30:13
  Like. You know what?
• 30:14
  I think you should be my side piece.
• 30:16
  And you know, to be. He deserved better because he
• 30:19
  was like Viv Desert. He straight up as soon as he
• 30:22
  found out he was like, don't treat her like shit, She's
• 30:24
  actually an amazing person. He knew from the get go.
• 30:30
  Viv had no lights up on her, like, no, there was nothing
• 30:34
  going up there. But she was so nice to people
• 30:37
  all the time. There's bits where she was full
• 30:39
  depressed and someone would knock on her door and she'd be
• 30:41
  like, oh, just got to make sure they're not sad that I'm sad.
• 30:47
  Can people pleaser? He raced back home immediately,
• 30:52
  immediately. But how long did the bodyguard
• 30:55
  take to tell him? It's like you dragged.
• 30:57
  It out like till the last moment.
• 31:00
  Also there was something else, something else?
• 31:02
  What is an incident? When did you say he was swimming
• 31:05
  in the bop like? Just isn't that where you start?
• 31:11
  Wouldn't you feel like there was an incident with Vivian?
• 31:13
  Exactly. She was at the jewelry store and
• 31:15
  there was a hold. Up.
• 31:16
  He did it backwards. He was like, oh.
• 31:19
  'Cause. Dante's like with his wife.
• 31:21
  You don't. Know what's going on?
• 31:23
  Start. With the wife, exactly Dante's
• 31:25
  like. The fiance, if you will.
• 31:28
  And he didn't really care that his brother was involved.
• 31:30
  He's like he's. Like look it's been.
• 31:32
  In worse situation and if. He died.
• 31:34
  Then he wouldn't have to get married to Vivian School.
• 31:38
  This needs emotions just everywhere and not in the right
• 31:42
  place. But he ran back home, found out
• 31:45
  and cuddled her. Is there a cuddled human?
• 31:48
  Shut up, I know. Dante, what are you doing?
• 31:54
  Eventually it comes out in multiple conversations.
• 31:57
  How do you not suss out how much your fiance hates your Tad with
• 32:02
  the absolute most passion? Wouldn't it?
• 32:03
  Yeah, honestly, Wouldn't you put it together?
• 32:05
  You're like, it's a business move.
• 32:08
  It doesn't benefit Dante. It benefits my dad.
• 32:12
  He hates my dad. He never wants to be around my
• 32:15
  dad. Eventually, he doesn't want a
• 32:16
  conversation with him. You would think something's up.
• 32:19
  Exactly. You would know something's up.
• 32:21
  Because if you're getting into an arranged marriage, it'd
• 32:25
  probably be the dad getting along with the partner.
• 32:27
  Exactly. It doesn't make sense.
• 32:29
  I know they hate each other, so they've lived in.
• 32:32
  They're obviously like living together.
• 32:34
  There was she was saying my PJS are not proper for company.
• 32:39
  Bitch, that's supposed to be your husband?
• 32:41
  We're less. Go naked.
• 32:44
  Go do whatever you want. Like what?
• 32:46
  He. I don't understand why he hated
• 32:49
  her so much. And then he beat up the guy that
• 32:53
  held the gun to his head. Because she's a possession.
• 32:57
  She was my wife. You've never cared.
• 32:59
  You've left her at home alone. She could have been murdered. 20
• 33:03
  times over, Yeah. He's like, no one touches my
• 33:05
  feelings. And then he wait and bought her.
• 33:07
  Especially me. Not chicken soup, because that's
• 33:10
  not fancy enough. It's chicken broth.
• 33:12
  EW. A nice Bony, meaty soup.
• 33:16
  Broth will fix her right up fixes all those psychological.
• 33:20
  Boots that he didn't even make, Greta made.
• 33:23
  I know it's called Greta. Greta was doing the most.
• 33:27
  Greta's doing all the work. She's so excited because she's
• 33:31
  given the job of planting a ball because someone else fell out,
• 33:34
  because they had a scandal. So default.
• 33:37
  They're like, fuck, we've got nobody.
• 33:38
  She ran a good ball last time. Let's get Vivian to do it.
• 33:41
  I can't imagine anything worse. She's already planning her
• 33:45
  wedding. She's.
• 33:46
  Just is she, though? There's not a point where
• 33:49
  they're planning that fucking wedding, she.
• 33:50
  Keeps saying it's coming up, yeah.
• 33:53
  I don't think she cares. She doesn't want to be
• 33:56
  blacklisted. I wouldn't give a fuck, but I
• 33:58
  suppose if that's your income. She's so excited, though.
• 34:01
  That's it. I finally made it.
• 34:03
  And you? Finally, you didn't though.
• 34:05
  They go to Bali and they find out that Dante's parents just
• 34:11
  don't care exactly. They do not give a fuck.
• 34:15
  They're hippy dippy. They live in Bali.
• 34:17
  The mum is giving the mum from Meet the Fockers.
• 34:21
  Yeah, 100% the. Entire vibe.
• 34:23
  I think she lifted that entire thing a. 100%, actually.
• 34:27
  While we're on that track, I read a couple of good reads
• 34:30
  after I read and ripped my notes, and a lot of people were
• 34:33
  just like it's copy and paste of literally everything.
• 34:37
  Though to be fair, that's a movie, so it's kind of loose.
• 34:39
  It's it's kind of hard, No. Like the whole book.
• 34:42
  Oh. Back if they find out the
• 34:44
  parents missed their entire engagement party for a music
• 34:47
  festival, come on, you can't. It's like if you're not going to
• 34:52
  parent, you could at least show up.
• 34:54
  Yeah, but they just admit that they just dipped.
• 34:57
  They gave him. They gave him to his granddad.
• 34:59
  They were like, we didn't even want to have kids.
• 35:02
  I just. And the granddad was fucking
• 35:05
  anally retentive as fuck, so you can tell why Dante rocked up
• 35:09
  like Dante became the way he is. If we're being honest about
• 35:13
  Dante, he's giving autistic. No, he's giving a whole.
• 35:18
  RCD There's something. Oh yeah, the candles, the food.
• 35:22
  Yeah, he can't cope. It might even just be the.
• 35:25
  Control. Oh, true, true, true.
• 35:27
  I could be all wrong, but. But the fact that, yeah, she
• 35:32
  would almost threaten to put his food together and then it would
• 35:35
  spiral him out of control instead of giving he needs to.
• 35:38
  That was time. One time he fucked up and she
• 35:40
  moved all the candles to like the left or something.
• 35:42
  Or Greta moved all the candles to the.
• 35:44
  Left to the left to the left. Fucking move the whole man to
• 35:47
  the left. This is so when we got to Bali
• 35:51
  is when it's really pissed me off.
• 35:55
  This entire book, it's started as a cop out.
• 35:58
  If you're going to write 3 days later, five days later, don't
• 36:04
  even bother. If you have to tell me, it's
• 36:06
  three days later, five days later, there was a it started
• 36:09
  off in Bali. She was like 3 days later, so we
• 36:11
  missed 3 days. Because nothing was going.
• 36:14
  On nothing was going on, but you didn't need to put it in there.
• 36:17
  Yeah, just assume that we figured time is passing.
• 36:20
  But there was one time in this entire book where she was like 5
• 36:24
  days from our breakup or fight and three days since.
• 36:29
  I just cop out, just put the fucking month on the I honestly,
• 36:34
  it was a word count thing. I feel like between the three
• 36:37
  days of or how many, it's been six weeks since this or
• 36:41
  whatever. It's constantly.
• 36:43
  Really. I didn't really.
• 36:44
  Know I once I noticed it the first time, I literally
• 36:47
  highlighted every single time it came up.
• 36:49
  And it's fucked. But not only that.
• 36:53
  She would repeat. Things they said to each other.
• 36:56
  Did You Know? They made me more mad and it
• 36:59
  would be from the last chapter, the last page.
• 37:02
  And it would be a long paragraph and I'm like, forget the fucking
• 37:06
  word count. What?
• 37:07
  What's the point of it? I don't think it would have been
• 37:09
  word count because. If she's kept, if she kept doing
• 37:12
  it, But why? Repeat stuff from the last
• 37:14
  chapter. We just read it.
• 37:16
  We just read it. It would be on the last page of
• 37:18
  that last chapter and then the first page would be the long
• 37:22
  winded thing that they said it. Doesn't make it more impactful,
• 37:25
  it just annoys the reader. It just is a cop out and it.
• 37:28
  Pissed. Off.
• 37:30
  Oh my God, can we talk about while they're in Bali?
• 37:32
  Yeah. Hit it, hit and quit it, girl.
• 37:36
  How does Dante go head first in the into the pussy and then
• 37:40
  wussy out? He pussied, then he wussied.
• 37:45
  He's like, I can go head first in the cooch, but I can't stick
• 37:49
  the Dick in the feelings come with the Dick and what?
• 37:53
  Is with this entire they they won't kiss in bits, but he will
• 37:57
  eat her out. I'm like, it's the same thing.
• 38:01
  Anything It's it's more intense. It's more.
• 38:03
  Intimate. What do you mean?
• 38:05
  And then he, like, rejects her to her face.
• 38:08
  Do you know what she's thinking? She's thinking my pussy be
• 38:11
  stank. She's like, oh, I'm sweating in
• 38:14
  Bali. Yeah, she's like, I got the
• 38:15
  clutch rot because I'm in Bali. It's fucking hot in here.
• 38:19
  He had a phone call. Christian 1st about Christian
• 38:22
  was like you can either. Have.
• 38:25
  Vivian, which he's never given given any inkling at this point
• 38:28
  that he has any interest in her. Or you can have her father's
• 38:32
  company. And then he remembered that
• 38:34
  conveniently while he was. Pussy he was.
• 38:37
  Rubbing pussy. He was rubbing the head on the
• 38:39
  entrance like, stop. It What a cute, wild time to
• 38:46
  think of Keep. In mind that they're in Bali,
• 38:50
  there's a storm going on. Yeah, they're both sweating.
• 38:53
  They're. Sweating.
• 38:55
  In there's no air con. Sweating their Boo holes.
• 38:57
  Out there's. I'm done.
• 39:02
  Just stick it in. But he even like.
• 39:05
  Yes, I'm getting arranged married anyway.
• 39:09
  I love a good dirty talk, but some of this dirty talk was.
• 39:13
  Weird, it was so far fetched. He's like tongue fuck you until
• 39:18
  you beg me to let you come. And I'm like, OK, calm down.
• 39:24
  Just the need to retract him. And then he immediately stopped.
• 39:28
  He's like, it's a long day. I'm going to bed now.
• 39:30
  I'm. Going to pack it in and then
• 39:32
  later she's like things didn't get out of hand.
• 39:35
  I'm so sorry for not being business appropriate.
• 39:38
  But then he was pissy. About it, of course, because
• 39:41
  he's like she's not allowed to reject me, only I'm allowed to
• 39:43
  reject. Her because he was OK, so he was
• 39:45
  boxing with Kai, comes home, he's all bruised up and she's
• 39:49
  like, oh, you're going to get infected.
• 39:51
  And then after all that, he gets her to kiss in and then she's
• 39:54
  like, it was a mistake, right? And he's like, yes, mistake.
• 39:58
  But only she's allowed to feel like a mistake, not him.
• 40:00
  Yeah, but he was mad, even though he was the one that
• 40:04
  essentially embarrassed her. But it's OK because she should
• 40:07
  be ashamed because women he. Should be fucking ashamed, she.
• 40:11
  Should have been disgusted that she let her pussy out of the
• 40:13
  cage. How?
• 40:14
  Dare she when dare she busted? Open on a family trip.
• 40:20
  How dare she miss games 9. How dare she?
• 40:24
  Just fucking open wide for her fiance that's fucking found.
• 40:29
  They're not even married yet, and she's showing more than
• 40:32
  ankle. Shame.
• 40:34
  Shame. Before marriage.
• 40:38
  She's busted out these ankles, this.
• 40:41
  Is the 1900s. Doesn't.
• 40:44
  She has ankle, knee and pussy out and he's just horrified.
• 40:51
  Have some. Class.
• 40:53
  Sting me. This is a man's world and you
• 40:57
  give him the wrong ideas. Not to mention his tongue was
• 41:02
  pussy to you, but it's all her fault.
• 41:06
  His His tongue was so deep he was reviving them.
• 41:10
  Ovaries. He was hydrating them.
• 41:14
  He was tongue halfway deep down the canal.
• 41:18
  However. How dare she?
• 41:20
  She could feel. It in her bowels.
• 41:22
  Have some class although pelting floor was quaking under his
• 41:31
  tongue movements. Can we talk about the fact that
• 41:36
  Dante says Vivian straight up and down Vivian.
• 41:41
  Vivian just Vivian Stepford wife.
• 41:46
  Vivian is the only person who's ever made him lose control.
• 41:54
  I'm sorry, but they're both pieces of dry toast and you
• 41:57
  cannot convince me otherwise. It's the tweed suit.
• 42:01
  It's. The All America Tweed suit, but
• 42:07
  they are both. The most vanilla wafer biscuit
• 42:13
  bitches that I've talked about. They are the driest of dry.
• 42:19
  She goes along with whatever her dad wants and she's the one
• 42:24
  who's making him see like a whole new world.
• 42:28
  He sing in Technicolor. He's just like this girl, he.
• 42:32
  Can. Feel the Braille in the wall.
• 42:35
  He's like this girl. She's flipped my whole life
• 42:39
  upside down. I mean, we don't even.
• 42:42
  Share A bedroom at this point, But she is.
• 42:46
  It's her and her fucking triple waited Lipstick.
• 42:50
  Got me in another dimension. I want recommendations that must
• 42:55
  be much proof at this point. I just.
• 42:58
  I don't even know. So they come back from that
• 43:01
  embarrassing expedition. Right after that shit, she gets
• 43:06
  flowers from Heath and then he's pissy about the after telling
• 43:11
  her it was a mistake. He's pissy about.
• 43:14
  He's sending her flowers. Come on now.
• 43:17
  He doesn't. Jiff is trying her best.
• 43:20
  She doesn't. Even want them.
• 43:22
  That's the best she. Doesn't want them.
• 43:24
  She's turned him down time and time again, and Dante has the
• 43:29
  nerve to have a go at her because some fucking asshole is
• 43:33
  stalking her. He's.
• 43:34
  Literally stalking her. And he's like it is.
• 43:37
  He gets pissy. He's for some unknown reason,
• 43:40
  he's decided this is the time to take her food.
• 43:43
  You know what's the worst part of it is?
• 43:46
  She saw it and she thought it was from Dante and thought he
• 43:49
  did something nice. Yeah.
• 43:51
  And. Then fucking jokes on her opens
• 43:53
  it. It's from Heath.
• 43:54
  Fucking Dante rocks up and he's like, who the fuck is giving
• 43:57
  you? Flowers you.
• 43:59
  How dare you have them for anyone else?
• 44:02
  You. But if you sent her flowers
• 44:05
  every now and then, she even tells him she's like, it's not a
• 44:08
  love story. It's just yeah.
• 44:10
  She's like we broke up two years ago.
• 44:11
  I have no interest in him. You can read our messages.
• 44:14
  It says I it's inappropriate and I'm not interested.
• 44:16
  And he's literally stalking me and I don't even like it.
• 44:19
  And you know what he does the most level headed man Dante can
• 44:23
  be. He ignores her for three weeks.
• 44:26
  He just, it's like I need to go. Because this is where we again.
• 44:30
  It goes 3 weeks later and I'm like just put in the mud.
• 44:35
  But you know what? And this comes up time and time
• 44:38
  again in these kind of books, so it's fine.
• 44:40
  I don't understand the concept of a man, a grown adult man,
• 44:45
  having zero communication skills that you've just got to wait.
• 44:50
  Like, if you've just got to put him on the back burner forever,
• 44:53
  well, that's OK. He's only 36.
• 44:55
  He'll figure it out. Maybe when we're 100.
• 44:57
  Yeah. What time?
• 45:00
  Time is all you got, and you're not going to spend it waiting a
• 45:03
  year. For some, like the lovely For
• 45:06
  Life could just be right around with one.
• 45:08
  Exactly who can communicate? You never know, Heath could have
• 45:11
  been the love of her life, but she would never know.
• 45:13
  Because everyone's an asshole. Kai is the love of her life,
• 45:16
  Kai. Is the love of my.
• 45:18
  Life. Literally.
• 45:20
  Yeah, justice for Kai, but he can just get fucked because you
• 45:24
  had your chance, bro. Just get fucked.
• 45:26
  So not only does it get worse for her, but he immediately
• 45:31
  after she's cooking food with her friends, Dante is in Dixie.
• 45:35
  She's not even there. He decides because Christian's
• 45:39
  unhinged. He decides to touch Stella or
• 45:42
  something and instead of I don't understand this because even if
• 45:49
  he kissed your girlfriend's hand, why would you send a
• 45:52
  stalker to her house? She he messages Heath on her
• 45:56
  number or something. And it's like, oh, I love you
• 45:58
  and stuff. So.
• 45:59
  You're putting some random girl in danger because you're pissed
• 46:03
  at your friend people. Are that dumb?
• 46:05
  She could have been murdered, yeah, but.
• 46:07
  He doesn't care. The poor girl was pinned against
• 46:09
  a fucking wall by this man. Because he thought he was
• 46:13
  reuniting with her. But like, she constantly was
• 46:16
  telling him over and over again, it wasn't me.
• 46:17
  I didn't send that and ever like I told you, I didn't text.
• 46:21
  You I'm getting aggressive in someone elses house.
• 46:24
  But the fact that he was there for two to three hours while he
• 46:26
  waited for Dante to come back is fucked.
• 46:30
  And it's all because Dante told one of the housekeepers to keep
• 46:32
  him there, send him out and go visit him later.
• 46:35
  What's even the point of having security if they're just going
• 46:37
  to let someone who's living in the house's stalker come in?
• 46:40
  Yeah, she's pinned to the wall. She's uncomfortable.
• 46:43
  He tries to kiss her. But of course he hops on his
• 46:48
  private jet immediately. The second another man's in the
• 46:51
  building, Yeah, he wanted a reason to fuck up his.
• 46:56
  Yeah, it wasn't even about her. There are many times he's like,
• 47:00
  I'm just going to. Heath is on his way after this.
• 47:02
  He gets punched in the face. He now gets it.
• 47:04
  That's on Heath, that's on. Dante's plotting to ruin his
• 47:07
  business. Why ruin his business?
• 47:10
  I don't understand that it was your friend that made him show
• 47:13
  up. Take it out on your friend.
• 47:15
  Exactly. I think he just wanted to go
• 47:17
  that next level so that she would never actually pick him
• 47:20
  because if his business took off a little bit, it's too
• 47:22
  threatening for him. So he's like, I've got to just
• 47:24
  make him Ground Zero. I feel like at a point she was
• 47:27
  over him. At that point, yeah, she didn't
• 47:29
  care. She didn't care.
• 47:30
  He went in for the overkill because he already busted the
• 47:32
  man's nose. Yeah, and that's when he was
• 47:35
  like, I don't lose control of. Anyone.
• 47:37
  But then he stalks him in public to threaten him later, like.
• 47:43
  For what? For what?
• 47:44
  But like, he lies where she even brings it up.
• 47:46
  She's like, I don't understand what's happened.
• 47:49
  I don't understand how this text message got out.
• 47:52
  And he's just like no. And he doesn't care.
• 47:54
  He doesn't. Care.
• 47:55
  But this poor girl thinks she's going fucking batshit crazy
• 47:58
  because she's like, I it wasn't me.
• 48:01
  And he just lied to where he could have been like, oh, while
• 48:03
  I was in DCI kissed Stella's hand and Christian went off the
• 48:08
  rails. That would have been enough for
• 48:09
  her, I feel like. Like.
• 48:10
  It's insane. Also, Dante saying next time you
• 48:13
  try and steal another man's fiance is the most tragic line.
• 48:19
  Shut up. This man should never use a
• 48:21
  single word. She's.
• 48:23
  A person, why didn't you defend her when she was dealing with
• 48:26
  the stalking in the 1st place, but you waited until you thought
• 48:30
  something was being taken away from you?
• 48:32
  Like typical, it's giving police when they wait till last.
• 48:38
  You know what's really funny? Dante and Heath are like.
• 48:41
  Bashing it out right, Yeah. All she cares about is the
• 48:44
  stupid gala. Yeah.
• 48:46
  In that moment in time, what is wrong with this girl's head?
• 48:48
  Yeah, anytime something emergency is happening, all
• 48:51
  she's thinking about is stupid. I don't think she.
• 48:54
  Gave a fuck about Dante enough. That's why she's like, oh, I'm
• 48:58
  stuck here, but they're just inconveniencing me right now.
• 49:01
  I just need to get my shit together.
• 49:03
  If. I die.
• 49:03
  I can't play the gala. I'm like, he's like he can't go
• 49:07
  to jail because then he won't be able to.
• 49:08
  Go to the girl. He can't assault someone because
• 49:10
  then he won't be able. To go to the girl immediately
• 49:12
  after Heath is being kicked out, he's kind of broken knives.
• 49:17
  This is where they fuck for the first time, yeah?
• 49:20
  Because he's so threatened by another man being close.
• 49:23
  To. Ourselves, I bet a claimer.
• 49:25
  We're so threatened. Also, Dante needs some fucking
• 49:29
  medication for his eyes, because if his eyes darkened to black
• 49:32
  one more time, eyes can't do that.
• 49:35
  The pupils he's on, drugs he's on.
• 49:38
  Drugs. I just hate that or.
• 49:41
  Give him some eye drops so he can at least make it through the
• 49:43
  day. This is where the infamous you
• 49:47
  wear my ring, you've come on my face and my hand.
• 49:51
  You live in my head all the fucking time, even when I don't
• 49:55
  want you to. That's the exact moment he says
• 49:58
  it, and honestly, it's underwhelming.
• 50:01
  Exactly. I love that the only redeeming
• 50:05
  thing about the sex scene is that we didn't have to hear
• 50:08
  about how either of them are on birth control.
• 50:11
  Yeah, please just skip over that.
• 50:12
  We we got the We broke apart. So don't take it.
• 50:16
  Roll on a condom. OK?
• 50:18
  Good for you. I don't care.
• 50:20
  You can raw dog it all you like. You're fake.
• 50:23
  We don't care. Oh, OK, the OK, this is the bit
• 50:27
  that took me out, not the. There's no way his huge Dick
• 50:31
  will fit, though. There's.
• 50:33
  No way, Bitch. What?
• 50:36
  Sorry. The diners are amazing things
• 50:38
  and they can stretch amazingly and go back into place.
• 50:43
  I just hit. That down that.
• 50:44
  Trope drives me nuts. No man's Dick is that big I.
• 50:48
  Think yes, because if someone whipped out a giganteuan one,
• 50:53
  I'm like exiting out of the room.
• 50:54
  OK, well, at that point they should eat you out, yeah, Or
• 51:00
  warm you. Up a bit, stopping the action.
• 51:02
  I'm just saying. The thing is, it's not tired if
• 51:04
  you're. Comfortable.
• 51:06
  So. So of course, like this
• 51:09
  escalates them into fucking. Yeah, fucking in a mirror.
• 51:13
  Yeah, I'll give it. I'll give it that.
• 51:15
  They're fucking in a mirror. But this is where you're you.
• 51:19
  Are my wife. Oh yeah, the thrusting.
• 51:22
  Yeah, that was their first sex scene.
• 51:25
  Shut up. Shut up.
• 51:28
  But he was like watching me wreck your pussy while you make
• 51:31
  a mess all over my cock. Keep it to you.
• 51:37
  You know what's really funny? Our quotes for the start of this
• 51:41
  are from the exact same spot in the book.
• 51:44
  Yeah, didn't sound like they were.
• 51:45
  Yeah, yeah. Because it goes, you are and it
• 51:49
  does the thrust thing and then it goes, does this feel like
• 51:51
  business? No, it didn't.
• 51:52
  It felt like hope. It felt like desire.
• 51:55
  It felt like ruin and salvation in one.
• 51:58
  OK, so because they're hooking up, of course they're going to
• 52:01
  the next Gala or the Valhalla or whatever they're doing.
• 52:04
  This is, yeah, yeah, they finally decide to share beds.
• 52:06
  Too, Of course, her friend, who's an author, works at
• 52:10
  Valhalla. Yeah, so clearly doesn't.
• 52:12
  You don't need to be that great to somehow get in.
• 52:14
  But I mean, she is the star. Yeah.
• 52:17
  Not making her lick the leather. Car.
• 52:20
  Seat in the lid, OK, OK while old mate Thomas is driving and
• 52:26
  you cannot tell me that Thomas didn't hear everything.
• 52:28
  Thomas is uncomfortable. I'm.
• 52:31
  Uncomfortable. I didn't get paid enough for
• 52:32
  this. There, OK.
• 52:35
  Licking a leather. Seat men have farted.
• 52:39
  On that leather seat I. It might be a private vehicle,
• 52:42
  but let's take in the fact that she just gave him head.
• 52:46
  Is his pants all the way down? Is his asshole resting on that
• 52:51
  exact seat? Exactly.
• 52:52
  Also they never said the partition.
• 52:55
  Went up, yeah. Never seen it until later.
• 52:58
  She. Even points it out, she's like
• 53:00
  he can see through. Yep.
• 53:02
  So Thomas is like panicking, hitting that button.
• 53:06
  He's like, put it up. Put it up, dude.
• 53:07
  They're making animalistic noises.
• 53:09
  There's no way he didn't hear that if.
• 53:11
  I was sitting in the front seat and someone was like, lick up
• 53:14
  your mess from the seat I'd be like.
• 53:18
  I'd be putting on a different audio.
• 53:19
  Book like at the front. You like, hit the brakes and
• 53:23
  you're like, oh. My God, imagine her just like
• 53:26
  like her head. Hitting seat.
• 53:29
  Say she was still giving head at that point and he just straight
• 53:33
  to the back of the throat. Oh, I get it.
• 53:36
  It's kinky, but it's unhygienic at best at.
• 53:40
  Best. It's just.
• 53:43
  It's a vibe, but it's. Disgusting.
• 53:46
  Oh, just the fact that it was the seat, not.
• 53:49
  The seat. Oh, disgusting foul.
• 53:53
  That's. Just.
• 53:55
  This is him on the seat 5 minutes before.
• 53:59
  But she she's like the tanginess of.
• 54:02
  My arousal. The tanginess.
• 54:05
  Emily. Girl be tangy.
• 54:08
  Girl, you have to accept it. Why?
• 54:12
  Why are they? It could have been any other
• 54:14
  word. All I'm getting is sweaty,
• 54:15
  asshole. Seeing doesn't always sound like
• 54:18
  a good thing. No.
• 54:22
  Anyway, they go into the club. She's like a most beautiful
• 54:24
  thing about. This is this is when she gets a
• 54:26
  virtual Galaxy. This is when he's finally
• 54:30
  decided to start going on dates with her.
• 54:32
  But how jealous would you be as the working class normie friend
• 54:36
  that has to serve your best friend cocktails in her
• 54:40
  billionaire secret society club? It's really funny to me that at
• 54:45
  some point in this book, at the start of the book.
• 54:48
  Right. Sorry.
• 54:49
  That's a lot of words. I'm really sorry.
• 54:52
  So thoughts coming out. They're having dinner.
• 54:55
  Yeah, all three of them. And whoever touches their phone
• 54:58
  first has to pay for dinner. Yeah, if I was the rich friend,
• 55:04
  I would probably just pay for your dinner.
• 55:06
  If you're the fact that your friend is working nights in a
• 55:10
  bar and then working days writing books to make ends meet,
• 55:15
  you should just pay for a fucking dinner.
• 55:17
  I know. If you're a millionaire, yeah,
• 55:20
  it's. Just.
• 55:21
  But anyway. Any who?
• 55:23
  I guess though then you'd feel like a charity case.
• 55:26
  Yeah. But you know.
• 55:30
  But you know. I would be one I'd be like.
• 55:33
  Might be okay. Fund my life, bitch.
• 55:35
  Something like you did. Well, good.
• 55:38
  Now I'm your problem. Now me and my entire financial
• 55:42
  needs. All the time.
• 55:43
  But you know, every now and then.
• 55:45
  Oh yeah. Totally.
• 55:46
  If I won Lotto, I'd shout you at dinner.
• 55:49
  Shout you puppy. Thanks in this virtual Galaxy is
• 55:55
  when he works out the number of copies of things.
• 56:00
  His dad sorry, eight is like his favorite number, It's a Chinese
• 56:03
  number or something, and he's like 08.
• 56:07
  And then she's like, there's a weird tinge in my neck and I
• 56:10
  don't understand why. Read the room.
• 56:14
  He hates your dad the best. Still.
• 56:18
  And he's wondering about the numbers.
• 56:21
  Not us having to keep circling back to He hates your dad.
• 56:25
  What part of this is she not getting?
• 56:28
  Vivian, please, please. I think because she's getting
• 56:31
  dicked down now it makes it even worse.
• 56:32
  I mean. When you just live in life,
• 56:35
  it's. NOT like.
• 56:35
  She's at a loss at any point. You know what I was mad about,
• 56:40
  though? On some level, I felt like there
• 56:42
  wasn't enough problems in the book because I knew the dad
• 56:45
  stuff was eventually going to come out.
• 56:48
  But the whole heath? Thing was a just a non event and
• 56:52
  then now this it got to a different phase of the book when
• 56:55
  all they're doing is going on their stupid dates and fucking I
• 56:58
  was like why do I need to hear this shit?
• 57:00
  You know what really fucked it up?
• 57:02
  And I think going back to the three days, one week, six weeks
• 57:07
  thing, she was trying to rush to that one year.
• 57:11
  There's other ways to do it. You could have sent him away for
• 57:13
  three months and made him come back.
• 57:15
  I think that's what happened. She's trying to rush through the
• 57:18
  thing and if you have to tell me it's been 3 weeks, one day
• 57:22
  backing, a month, two months later, then you're not telling
• 57:25
  the story right and it drives me and shame.
• 57:29
  See, I don't really notice stuff like that because time is not
• 57:32
  real. You know what happened?
• 57:33
  I think because my standards have somehow gotten higher for
• 57:38
  books lately. Somehow.
• 57:40
  Like, it's because I we break them down a little bit and I'm
• 57:43
  like, oh come on. I think that's something that
• 57:47
  just pisses you off. Right after this fucking
• 57:51
  epiphany of eights we go, they go on a date with their parents
• 57:56
  and her dad's just bossy. He's like, oh, you can't have
• 58:00
  pasta, you have to have lamb. And then Dante's just pissed at
• 58:03
  her for just doing what, in all honesty, would you want to deal
• 58:08
  with your dad having a tantrum? Because I probably.
• 58:11
  Would exactly. But Dante?
• 58:13
  This is how she's submissive. Hello.
• 58:15
  This is where it. Came from, but he orders the OK,
• 58:19
  this is could have been a really good moment for them.
• 58:21
  A really good moment. So she orders lamb instead.
• 58:25
  She hates lamb. She hates it so much.
• 58:27
  And then he orders the dish she wanted.
• 58:29
  It should have been. He should have swapped.
• 58:32
  Exactly the dishes, the dishes should.
• 58:34
  Have came out and instead of him eating the dish that she wanted,
• 58:38
  it could have been a really cute moment where he switches it and
• 58:41
  tells the dad to fuck off but nothing happened.
• 58:45
  Why even bring it up, you know? What I mean?
• 58:46
  Like it doesn't if he's not going to be part of the
• 58:48
  solution, part of the problem. Yeah, like they literally did.
• 58:51
  It was just put in there so they would have an argument about her
• 58:54
  parents. The girl clearly has issues
• 58:57
  issues with her parents. Exactly.
• 59:00
  He thinks he just has. Issues with her dad.
• 59:02
  Yeah, he thinks their relationship is just amazing.
• 59:05
  I don't know why he thinks that though.
• 59:06
  You know, it was Thanksgiving and then Christmas.
• 59:08
  He even looks down on the dad because she's sitting near a
• 59:11
  fire and he's like put a jacket on.
• 59:14
  It's cold and she's like, I don't want to and he's like put
• 59:16
  one on and she puts one on. Can you not read the room?
• 59:19
  She's not having a good time either.
• 59:20
  She just and you wonder why she's wearing weird tweed suits
• 59:24
  and everything and you're just not going to help a good suits
• 59:27
  out. And also he blames her for the
• 59:30
  arranged marriage when clearly she has doesn't got it.
• 59:33
  She doesn't have a choice. She has.
• 59:34
  No idea. This bit of the book is the one
• 59:38
  I hated the most because it was playing out like The Bachelor.
• 59:41
  Yeah, how they go on this stupid helicopter dates and they're
• 59:44
  like blah blah. And then we got little alerts of
• 59:47
  information that we're supposed to give a fuck about Dante,
• 59:50
  like, Oh no, you had a bad childhood, OK?
• 59:53
  This is a lot when more when the three days thing came in,
• 59:57
  because she'd be like, oh, we went on a helicopter ride three
• 59:59
  days ago. If you're not going to tell me
• 1:00:01
  about what happened on the helicopter ride, don't even tell
• 1:00:04
  me about it in the first place. You're so mad.
• 1:00:06
  I was just saying you. Went Don't tell me about it.
• 1:00:08
  But it was like there was one bit where it was like it was
• 1:00:10
  Wednesday, five days after our short lived fight, three days
• 1:00:13
  after our reconciliation. OK, I don't care.
• 1:00:17
  Just say it happened, not when. No, I'm like, OK, cool.
• 1:00:20
  And then it was. And immediately after it goes
• 1:00:22
  over the next two days I prepped my team.
• 1:00:25
  And then it goes. Our first three days in Paris,
• 1:00:30
  all in the same chapter. I guess when you're a
• 1:00:32
  billionaire, you can just do whatever the fuck you want.
• 1:00:35
  And in this economy, this kind of book makes me mad.
• 1:00:39
  I don't want a billionaire escapism.
• 1:00:42
  I am nowhere near there. No.
• 1:00:45
  Like this is so. It doesn't Take Me Out.
• 1:00:47
  It makes me pissed. I'm like in any other time it'd
• 1:00:49
  probably be amazing but with the pricing issue.
• 1:00:52
  Of like we. Literally go and buy groceries
• 1:00:55
  and it's $400.00 for like 2 days worth of food.
• 1:00:57
  Exactly. And this isn't taking me out in
• 1:00:59
  a fantasy way like, oh, it's so extravagant it's pissing me off.
• 1:01:03
  I think it because there's nothing.
• 1:01:04
  It gives nothing. It's all just telling us.
• 1:01:07
  It was a lot of telling and not showing and it really was
• 1:01:10
  driving me insane. The friend Isabel.
• 1:01:13
  She just needs to get fucking laid.
• 1:01:15
  Get on Tinder, bitch. She.
• 1:01:16
  Is the one in Kaye book. Yeah.
• 1:01:20
  So her and Kai No. Yes.
• 1:01:23
  I'm so sorry, I can't remember the other ones, but I know the
• 1:01:29
  next one is her and pie. I'm done, I thought.
• 1:01:34
  Nothing could make this book worse.
• 1:01:37
  Is. This coming from my man.
• 1:01:41
  Get fucked. Kyle is the only redeeming
• 1:01:44
  quality. In the same time.
• 1:01:47
  And I like how he's just a little bit problematic, but not,
• 1:01:50
  like actual. Yeah, you know what?
• 1:01:53
  They're in moving. I'm from the love out there,
• 1:01:56
  she. Needs to get fucked and then
• 1:01:58
  she's literally gonna fuck off. But just Vivian's not giving you
• 1:02:03
  any details. Get over it.
• 1:02:05
  Get a life, Me dead ass looked. At.
• 1:02:09
  Me. And I was like, no Isabel needs.
• 1:02:12
  To get a fucking life and just get fucked then.
• 1:02:15
  Don't. Force your friend into giving
• 1:02:17
  you detail, because Vivian doesn't even give her details.
• 1:02:20
  She's not that type of girl. She's not.
• 1:02:22
  She's not going through that at any point yet.
• 1:02:25
  I don't think so. They're moving.
• 1:02:27
  They're in Paris. She says no to Paris initially
• 1:02:30
  because she's too worried about this stupid ball and she lives
• 1:02:33
  in Decker. Nobody cares.
• 1:02:36
  Like I don't see your whole career, but you're fucking
• 1:02:38
  husband's a billionaire. Just yeah, fuck I.
• 1:02:41
  Don't. Convince her to work while in
• 1:02:44
  Paris. Just don't take her then, idiot.
• 1:02:47
  Don't make her work in Paris. But there's a point in Paris
• 1:02:52
  where she gets she's shopping and she gets him little ice
• 1:02:56
  cream cufflinks and it makes me want to die.
• 1:02:58
  I wrote that too. I wrote it in all and.
• 1:03:01
  He immediately put some on. I'm like, you're telling me the
• 1:03:04
  scary rich man is walking around with these old man little ice
• 1:03:09
  cream cufflinks. And they're custom.
• 1:03:11
  They're. Custom.
• 1:03:12
  And then because he put fucking soy sauce on vanilla ice cream
• 1:03:16
  and they had a moment about it and she remembered it literally
• 1:03:19
  months later. Because it's the only time they
• 1:03:21
  enjoy it together. The only time they've ever had a
• 1:03:25
  on there last night, they're up on the Eiffel Tower having
• 1:03:28
  dinner. And this is when Christians
• 1:03:30
  like, oh, I've got, I've got them all like, I've got all the
• 1:03:33
  copies. Yeah, And he's like, but you
• 1:03:35
  need to tell me what you wanna do because you can't have her
• 1:03:39
  and have her dad. And you're obviously in love
• 1:03:41
  with her. So what does Dante do?
• 1:03:43
  He has dinner with her and then has sex with her for the last
• 1:03:47
  fucking time. Makes her feel all loved up and
• 1:03:50
  then they fly home and he has nothing to do with her.
• 1:03:53
  Yeah, don't have sex with her. Don't do that to her.
• 1:03:57
  It doesn't make any sense. In the most romantic location in
• 1:04:01
  the world, You know what I mean, He.
• 1:04:02
  Literally, yeah. He goes all out to make the most
• 1:04:05
  romantic little. He's like it's just a goodbye
• 1:04:10
  and then he just ignores her. But what I don't get is he
• 1:04:12
  admitted he has feelings for her.
• 1:04:15
  So who? Cares.
• 1:04:16
  About the Brother blackmail at this point.
• 1:04:18
  It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
• 1:04:20
  Just tell her and ask her what use can do.
• 1:04:23
  She doesn't like her fucking dad anyway, I know, but the fact
• 1:04:26
  that he has sex with her makes her feel so loved and then they
• 1:04:31
  get home and he ignores her. He doesn't have anything to do
• 1:04:34
  with her. She goes and gets him food
• 1:04:36
  because he's working and she's all happy like he started and he
• 1:04:40
  just ignores her and kind of kicks her out.
• 1:04:42
  He just acts real dry. Yeah, and then he decides to
• 1:04:45
  have a dinner party and not tell her.
• 1:04:48
  She was getting mad at Dante. This is the first time they've
• 1:04:50
  had an argument, and she even thought in her own head that
• 1:04:55
  this was the first time in her life she had ever raised her
• 1:04:58
  voice. And I feel that.
• 1:04:59
  So sad for her as she character as a person.
• 1:05:02
  Yeah, what the fuck. This is when she starts growing
• 1:05:07
  symbols, I would say. How do you?
• 1:05:09
  Get to 28 years old and you've never raised your voice.
• 1:05:12
  She's. So scared of her dad designing
• 1:05:15
  her? There's no reason.
• 1:05:16
  Just get disowned. It's not like you're relying on
• 1:05:19
  your parents to pay your way. You have your own money.
• 1:05:22
  Get disowned. Become a person.
• 1:05:25
  Exactly. Of course, his solution to this
• 1:05:28
  big breakdown in their relationship is he starts
• 1:05:31
  stalking her eventually. It's just after they break up,
• 1:05:36
  so she shows up. I don't know why she's trying so
• 1:05:40
  hard. She literally shows up with
• 1:05:42
  food. She's trying to get him back and
• 1:05:44
  then she's listening to her dad and him have an argument and he
• 1:05:47
  says all the most foul fucking things.
• 1:05:50
  He's like, I don't care about her.
• 1:05:51
  I never cared about her. That poor girl is sitting there.
• 1:05:55
  She's had the best couple of months, She went to Paris, had a
• 1:05:58
  loving time and he's just like, I'm just fuck, that would be.
• 1:06:01
  Heartbreaking. Yeah.
• 1:06:03
  Yeah. She literally overhears it.
• 1:06:05
  She's. Had enough?
• 1:06:06
  Yep. She's had enough.
• 1:06:07
  She's like, this is fucked. It all makes sense.
• 1:06:09
  Like which, I mean, go on now. Go on now, girl.
• 1:06:12
  Come on now, girl. She's like this man fucking
• 1:06:14
  hates me. He thinks I'm not good enough.
• 1:06:16
  My dad apparently hates me too. Yeah, and she was just used as a
• 1:06:20
  pawn in this entire issue. She then goes and visits her
• 1:06:23
  dad. But then she's kind of realizing
• 1:06:26
  I'm going to have to cancel this wedding.
• 1:06:27
  And she cared about that a lot. And I was like.
• 1:06:30
  Bigger picture. Vivian.
• 1:06:32
  Bigger picture it should. Bigger picture your time to go
• 1:06:35
  live your. Life.
• 1:06:36
  And also get on a plane your life.
• 1:06:39
  Get on a plane, Do your gala. Do your fucking gala.
• 1:06:42
  Ace your gala, Get on a plane. You literally can work and be in
• 1:06:47
  a different place. It's just not even necessary.
• 1:06:50
  Circling back to Kai for a minute.
• 1:06:52
  Don't you think though, the fact that he ends up with her best
• 1:06:55
  friend? He actually wants her?
• 1:06:57
  Yes. Come on now.
• 1:06:58
  Come. Come.
• 1:06:59
  On now. Stop it anyway.
• 1:07:02
  He's. Given.
• 1:07:04
  He's giving runner up like he's giving, trying to take the
• 1:07:08
  friend to get close to her. The fact that him and Isabel
• 1:07:11
  actually have no point in this book to lead them into that,
• 1:07:15
  that's what I mean. It's giving orbit energy.
• 1:07:18
  The orbit. He's just banging the friends,
• 1:07:21
  so he stays in the circle. Fair enough.
• 1:07:24
  Fair enough. She goes back home to question
• 1:07:27
  her dad about blackmailing at this.
• 1:07:29
  Point Who cares about your dad? Just cut him off, she goes.
• 1:07:32
  Back home, he essentially is like, well, you're my daughter,
• 1:07:34
  you're going to fix it. You're going to fix my company.
• 1:07:36
  You're going to ask him because he's in love with you and she's
• 1:07:39
  like, Nah, and he's like, I'm going to fucking disown you and
• 1:07:44
  she just leaves. She's like, whatever.
• 1:07:46
  She's like OK. But then she goes to her ball,
• 1:07:49
  she has this beautiful designer dress on, and the first thing
• 1:07:54
  that Buffy says to her is, oh, did Dante buy that?
• 1:07:57
  And she's like, well, I can afford my own fucking clothes.
• 1:08:01
  Pretentious. Yeah.
• 1:08:03
  She should have been like, bitch, you hired me twice.
• 1:08:06
  You know how much you paid me? Exactly.
• 1:08:09
  This gala is where Kai goes for a little dance dance with her
• 1:08:14
  and he's feeling her up and he's like, now that you have broken
• 1:08:19
  up do you reckon we can get together and she's like, no.
• 1:08:23
  She's like too soon, bro. Too soon, bro.
• 1:08:24
  But he's not even looking at it. He's looking at Dante storming
• 1:08:28
  in, like, exactly. But I feel like Kai was giving
• 1:08:31
  it a good hot crack. Yeah, because he did want her.
• 1:08:35
  I feel like he gave it a good hot crack and then when she said
• 1:08:38
  no, she he was like, oh, Dante's here anyway.
• 1:08:42
  So it's not embarrassing that I tried to hit on you, I think.
• 1:08:44
  He did it way too soon. And like, Dante refused.
• 1:08:47
  He's like, you're my fiance. We never broke up.
• 1:08:49
  And she's like, well shut. Up.
• 1:08:51
  Shut up, Dante. 'S an.
• 1:08:53
  Idiot. He's like we never.
• 1:08:54
  She's like, we didn't break up, but.
• 1:08:56
  Also, isn't it convenient that he thinks they haven't broken up
• 1:08:59
  when he does a horrendous thing, which is tell her dad how much
• 1:09:02
  he doesn't want to borrow her? So it's OK that he did all that
• 1:09:08
  and he hasn't even apologized yet.
• 1:09:11
  No, I don't think he ever says sorry.
• 1:09:13
  No. He.
• 1:09:14
  Doesn't even come up with an excuse.
• 1:09:15
  Like I was just saying that to piss him off.
• 1:09:18
  He hates. Her.
• 1:09:19
  He hates her. He does.
• 1:09:21
  There's so many times in the book where he points out how
• 1:09:23
  much he resents her for. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:09:26
  Taking away his George Clooney lifestyle.
• 1:09:28
  You know what? You know what, though?
• 1:09:30
  I do love that the anal to love pipeline never made it in it.
• 1:09:35
  Never made it in. I was so scared.
• 1:09:39
  I was. And you know what, 'cause it was
• 1:09:41
  in twisted love or whatever. Maybe that just he just doesn't
• 1:09:45
  love it. Dude, that makes so much sense.
• 1:09:50
  That's why he doesn't love her 'cause I never smashed booties.
• 1:09:56
  I was surprised. I was like we made it through
• 1:09:58
  the. Whole book.
• 1:10:00
  I was waiting for it. I even texted you about it.
• 1:10:02
  I'm like, I'm at 80% or 90%. I'm waiting for the anal.
• 1:10:05
  It's here. It's usually in the epilogue
• 1:10:07
  even. Not.
• 1:10:09
  No, but it wasn't in this. But normally if they do it in
• 1:10:13
  the the whole book, it's in the epilogue.
• 1:10:14
  Yeah, so they're trying to work it out.
• 1:10:17
  She's only got apparently 6 problems with Dante, whereas I
• 1:10:20
  have a million, but it's fine. It's fine.
• 1:10:23
  So he starts again, and he stalks her at her.
• 1:10:26
  Coffee place. OK.
• 1:10:28
  There's nothing worse than a grown man coming up to you when
• 1:10:31
  he hasn't been able to communicate all the things he
• 1:10:34
  did wrong and say hi. My name's Dante.
• 1:10:37
  To pretend like they don't know each other like a little bit of
• 1:10:40
  role play. Yeah.
• 1:10:42
  And then she's just supposed to start from scratch, like an Etch
• 1:10:45
  A Sketch. Yeah.
• 1:10:47
  I. Stop it.
• 1:10:48
  You know what's? Even worse, she knocks into him
• 1:10:51
  and knocks his coffee cup and he's like, it's my fault for
• 1:10:54
  leaving my cup open when it's crowded.
• 1:10:56
  I'm like, you are a bitch, Dante.
• 1:10:58
  You are the biggest bitch I've ever.
• 1:11:02
  Why can't she should have poured?
• 1:11:03
  It on your head. But why can't in books like this
• 1:11:07
  they just genuinely apologize? She's had the conversation.
• 1:11:12
  You could have just been like your dad blackmailed me.
• 1:11:15
  I resent you a bit. I'm a bit mad.
• 1:11:17
  Exactly. Bit mad.
• 1:11:19
  Bit mad. And then she could have been
• 1:11:20
  like, Oh well. That makes sense.
• 1:11:22
  That makes sense. Now how do we fix it or
• 1:11:24
  something? Yeah, exactly.
• 1:11:25
  But he's like, let's just pretend and then we magically
• 1:11:28
  have a wedding already planned. Let's.
• 1:11:30
  Ignore all our problems also. After everything, including the
• 1:11:36
  disownment, they then have a family dinner.
• 1:11:40
  Why is she even rocking up? And then?
• 1:11:42
  Then she brings it up to the dad and the mum and the fucking
• 1:11:47
  sister don't don't even know. And she goes, yeah, but that's
• 1:11:50
  because you disown me, isn't it dad?
• 1:11:52
  Yeah, yeah. How did you hold that in?
• 1:11:56
  No. Well, The thing is, they knew
• 1:11:59
  that she was disowned because that's why the mum left, because
• 1:12:02
  she was like, you don't get to disown my daughter.
• 1:12:05
  Not that the mums any better. She's a fucking asshole 90% of
• 1:12:09
  the time. But then yeah, they're having an
• 1:12:11
  argument at the dinner table about how Francis is just shit.
• 1:12:16
  And I fucking love it. Dante's like, if you ever make
• 1:12:19
  her cry again, I will make you so blacklisted that you wouldn't
• 1:12:24
  be able to go anywhere. Why is that what Francis cares
• 1:12:27
  about? But why didn't he say that in
• 1:12:28
  the first place? Yeah, Why didn't he say you're
• 1:12:32
  trying to blackmail me about my brother?
• 1:12:34
  I'm going to get you blacklisted if you don't fucking destroy.
• 1:12:37
  Oh yeah, you didn't need to go in there and be like, I hate.
• 1:12:40
  Her I. She's the worst, fairest,
• 1:12:43
  crustiest person. But it makes the entire plot
• 1:12:46
  null and void because he could have said that at the beginning,
• 1:12:50
  yeah? And it makes no sense.
• 1:12:51
  He has so much more power than fucking old mate Franklin.
• 1:12:55
  He just. What's his name again?
• 1:12:58
  Francis Francis. Francis.
• 1:13:00
  Has got nothing he could have said.
• 1:13:01
  Francis he. Could have said I will blacklist
• 1:13:04
  you from Valhalla if you don't delete those photos of my
• 1:13:07
  brother. Boom.
• 1:13:08
  Done. Yeah, Vivian's not even
• 1:13:10
  involved. She's living her best life and
• 1:13:11
  eventually getting back together with Heath.
• 1:13:13
  The. End.
• 1:13:14
  The end She's living her life. They end up getting married
• 1:13:18
  anyway. Disgusted.
• 1:13:21
  Disgusted, The mom just walks down the aisle.
• 1:13:23
  The dad's a Class 1. Nothing exciting about it.
• 1:13:27
  You know how you said there isn't the anal to true Love
• 1:13:30
  Pipeline? Yeah, get ready for simultaneous
• 1:13:33
  orgasm to love Pipeline. That was the alternative because
• 1:13:39
  they came at the same time and that was true love.
• 1:13:44
  So I usually love a bonus scene, and the bonus scene was just
• 1:13:48
  them trying to make dumplings and Greta kicking them out of
• 1:13:51
  the kitchen. So not even worth anyone's time.
• 1:13:54
  Yuck. We're supposed to be warm and
• 1:13:56
  fuzzy now that they got over his.
• 1:13:58
  Lies they just have. They've got no tension, they've
• 1:14:01
  got no personality, they've got no chemistry.
• 1:14:07
  By the time we got to the epilogue is when I worked out
• 1:14:09
  all the random twist. Hate.
• 1:14:11
  Love whatever characters were put in there.
• 1:14:14
  Do you know what, though, with the anal to love Pipeline?
• 1:14:17
  My favorite topic. Does it count because she licked
• 1:14:21
  the seat where his ball? No.
• 1:14:24
  Because that's not when they were in love.
• 1:14:28
  Oh no. No, it doesn't count.
• 1:14:30
  What are we going to rate this out of?
• 1:14:33
  How many licks of the leather car seat out of five?
• 1:14:36
  Oh, OK. OK.
• 1:14:37
  Since you brought it up. OK, cool A1.
• 1:14:40
  Oh my God, I picked one as well. I.
• 1:14:42
  Hate it I. Don't know I was so mad.
• 1:14:44
  I must have been having my period.
• 1:14:46
  No, no. Here's the thing.
• 1:14:49
  It wasn't written well. There was no actual point where
• 1:14:52
  you were immersed in the book, and there was no chemistry.
• 1:14:56
  They didn't even enjoy being around each other.
• 1:14:59
  And then when they were dating, we would just get them told they
• 1:15:01
  were going on dates. There's nothing you can do to
• 1:15:04
  convince me that they actually enjoyed each other.
• 1:15:06
  I just feel like. Vivian flatlined.
• 1:15:09
  What was even her arc? There was no art for either of
• 1:15:12
  them. There was nothing.
• 1:15:13
  They were just the same people throughout.
• 1:15:14
  This book is just consumer only. There's nothing about it.
• 1:15:19
  And I understand some people would just eat this up because
• 1:15:21
  of the concept. Yeah.
• 1:15:23
  But I mean, come on now, the billionaire romance, we've seen
• 1:15:27
  it how many times. We need something different.
• 1:15:29
  It should, no, But The thing is, it was just poorly written.
• 1:15:33
  But even his name? Dante, the Italian billionaire.
• 1:15:38
  Yeah, you get nothing out of this book.
• 1:15:42
  So I'm confused. I'm also rating it a one out of
• 1:15:45
  five licked leather car. Seat I love how.
• 1:15:48
  I'm just in a rage and colours just like looking at me like,
• 1:15:50
  OK, so. Like all my rage was left far
• 1:15:54
  behind. Wow.
• 1:15:55
  So is that it for King of Wrath? Yeah.
• 1:15:59
  The king of my wrath deflated. And.
• 1:16:02
  They just didn't need to be together.
• 1:16:03
  But anyway anyway. Any.
• 1:16:04
  Who? Any.
• 1:16:05
  Who? I still paid $13 for it.
• 1:16:07
  Yeah, so it's fine money in the bank.
• 1:16:09
  Enjoy your money, me, Anna, because I would like it back.
• 1:16:13
  It's fine. So that's it.
