Get rid of the prenup

I ordered a bottle of champagne and quickly poured glass after glass while chatting with Nicole, sprinkling in little compliments about my beautiful bride. From time to time I leaned over the table and gave her the shortest kiss possible. Since kissing was as far as Nicole was willing to go, she liked to do a lot of it, so keeping the kisses short and quick was the closest to blue balling her I could come. I acted like I was also having trouble controlling myself, which wasn't hard since the knowledge that someone was currently shoving his dick between Simone's big tits had me running pretty hot.

Once Nicole was fairly tipsy I took both her hands in mine across the table and I said the words that I knew drove her nuts. "Nicole, I love you."

The smile on her face made me happy in the same way as an open bank vault. "Oh Will, I love you so much, baby!"

"Unconditionally?"

"Totally unconditionally!"

Now it was time to go big. I'd tentatively broached this subject before, but there was just a little too much resistance to move forward. Now I had a secret weapon. "Nicole, do you really love me unconditionally or is that a lie?"

She looked hurt. She squeezed my hands and said, "Of course I do! How can you doubt me?"

"Well... sometimes I feel like you're a little manipulative."

I could see from the way her face tore up that that hurt her, just like I knew it would.

"Baby, no! Why would you say that?"

"Well, you say you love me unconditionally, but you're making me sign a prenup. It feels like you're turning our love into a business deal."

"What? No! William, this is just something my father is making us do. He says it's just to keep me safe."

I pulled my hands out of hers. "Oh, so it's not a business deal, it's an insurance policy. You're planning on what happens when the marriage falls apart."

"No!" Nicole got up and moved around the table. She pulled her seat right next to mine and sat down, wrapping her arms around me. "No, baby, no! We're never falling apart! You and me are forever!"

I kept my body language stiff. I actually wanted to burst out laughing, but I had to play the part of the hurt fiancé. "People who are going to be together forever don't make plans for splitting up. If you really loved me like I love you, you'd throw that prenup in the ocean."

Nicole's mouth went slack. Her eyes went blank. She stammered, "I... I..."

-95 BS.

Error! Insufficient BS! Fallacy failed.

0 remaining.

Nicole stood up and glared down at me. "I can't believe how selfish you are! You're a jerk, Will!" Then she stomped away, leaving several other people in the restaurant staring.

What the fuck? What just happened?

Somehow, my line of bullshit had failed. That seemed insane. Any time Nicole had talked about the prenup in the past, she'd always been so apologetic about it. She hated the idea of it too, right? Was there anything in the app to explain this? I decided to check it.

New profile added: Nicole Astor.

I switched to the profile tab.

Nicole Astor

Age: 25

Occupation: Socialite

Resistances:

• Target will strongly resist any attempt to make her go against her father.

Damnit. I knew she was a daddy's girl, but I hadn't realized how much. No amount of clever talk or even magical bullshit would have gotten her to disobey daddy, and now I'd made that even worse. I'd have to be very careful to tiptoe around that from now on.

Shit.

Well, now I was stuck with no BS. It would take until the wedding to completely refill, so any big plans I'd had were not happening. I'd have to smooth things over with Nicole and stick to my original plan.

+20 BS. 20 remaining.

Or maybe not! Simone's hookup must have been paying off! It gave a pretty good batch of points, too. That made sense, Simone wasn't a prude like Nicole, but she was a serial monogamist. A one night stand was pretty depraved for her, so that meant big points for me. Maybe there was hope after all.

New Path unlocked, please check the app at your earliest convenience.

Okay, something new. I flipped back to the home screen.

XP +3! Next level in 2XP.

CASH +3! Total: 8.

New Path unlocked for Simone Ito.

Party Girl Path

1. Party for One

Target will come to believe that social events are her chance to sleep with people. Parties, vacations, and other social gatherings will seem like the natural place to hook up with someone. Eventually she will feel unsatisfied if she doesn't sleep with a constant string of different people at an event.

2. Party Hostess

Target will come to see the it as her job to make sure that everyone is hooking up at social events. She will encourage anyone she has authority over to push their sexual limits. This won't necessarily mean finding a new partner if they already have one, it might just push them to try new things. Eventually the people under her influence will naturally follow these guidelines easier and without her encouragement.

These paths had some serious potential. I could make Simone into a huge party slut or make her the ringleader that pushes the other bridesmaids to be more sexually adventurous.

I might be able to generate some serious BS after all.
