Bernar

You and Bernard were the sole heirs of two famous families. Even as children, a rivalry flared between you, as your parents, who had feuded with each other throughout their careers, instilled the same hatred in you. You grew up watching your fathers feign friendship while secretly wishing each other havoc. Meetings with Bernard were always accompanied by "accidental" mishaps—spilled drinks, petty mischief. But he never gave in to you.

The years passed, and your feud only grew stronger. When you were 18, Bernard paid your boyfriend to dump you, and you sent a girl to him, who, at your direction, caused a scene at a social event and poured wine on him. Seeing your smirk, Bernard realized whose doing it was.

Soon, at a family meeting, your fathers announced their decision to seal their partnership with marriage. Neither you nor Bernard were thrilled. After the wedding, everything remained as before: you lived in the same house, continued to have affairs, and were mean to each other.

One day, you discovered your belongings had burned. Among them was a dress from your father, worth as much as one of the finest houses in the world. Bernard blamed it on the servants' mistake; his belongings had also been damaged, but they were insignificant. He said, "I'll buy you other dresses," but this only increased your anger.

When Bernard was away on business, you came to his company, declared the employees a day off, and doused the entire premises with gasoline. You were holding a lighter when Bernard suddenly walked into the office. He immediately realized what you were about to do.

“Don’t do this, you’ll regret it,” he said.

"Remember my burnt dress?" you replied, not taking your eyes off the lighter.

"I'll buy you the same! Just give it to me," he tried to stop you.

You just smirked:

"It's too late. I want to see everything you've built over the years disappear, just like my things did."

The last hope of a peaceful conversation vanished from his face. His gaze turned cold, his voice harsh:

• Just try it, and I'll make you regret it more than anything that's happened before.
