Do you take his offer?
Yes, but...
"$10 million?" you ask.
"Make it $15 million," Bruno adds quickly, sensing that you may be warm to his offer. You must admit, it sounds tempting and would certainly make up for what he did against you. There are a lot of things you could do with that money, but then you remember the distress Bruno put you in. You're going to need something else if he wants you to leave Angie alone. It's time to test how much he loves her.
"And I want a majority stake in your company," you respond.
"That's... I barely have that. If I give you that, that's basically handing over a multi-billion dollar company."
"You can remain CEO, but I'll control the board."
"Fine. Let Angie go."
"Haha. Not yet."
"What?! I just agreed to your terms!"
"We're still negotiating. I require 1 more thing to sweeten the deal."
Bruno pauses, knowing exactly what you want. "...my ring."
"Bingo."
"If I give you my ring-"
"Then you're still 1 of the richest men in the world. Nobody will know the difference, except for you and me. And your assistant Helen, I guess. How about this? I'll throw in something you can't have. I'll make Angie leave her husband and family to be with you."
"..."
"Bruno?"
"...okay."
"Good. No tricks."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Take off your ring and place it on a surface in front of you, then back away and switch your phone over to the video chat function so I can see it," you instruct him. You still remember your failed attempt to steal the ring from him, and you want to be careful.
"Okay, okay." Bruno does as you tell him to, and soon you can see the ring sitting on a table in what appears to be a hotel room. Without saying anything more, you activate 2 of your magic rings, stopping time and teleporting to the room in the screen. Bruno is sitting on the bed with a laptop open at his side, and you can see the suite at the Bellagio on the screen. You pick up his ring, the one that grants its holder luck, and slip it onto the index finger on your left hand, then teleport back to the suite. After that, you deactivate your magic rings and let time resume.
Bruno realizes immediately what happened. "You've got it. Now, let Angie go, please."
"Okay. Stay on the line." You then walk upstairs to the bathroom where Angie is enjoying her milk bath, and activate your mind control ring. Bruno can see and hear everything that's going on, and she looks delighted to see you.
"Angie," you say to her, "Listen to every word I say carefully. When I walk out of here, you'll sit there for 15 minutes before moving. When you can move, you'll forget about meeting me and remember your feelings for Bruno. In fact, they'll be so intense that you'll immediately get dressed, go back home and leave your family so that you can finally be with Bruno. Nod if you understand."
Angie nods, and you deactivate your ring. You then speak into the phone. "Did you hear that?" you ask Bruno.
"Yes. You'll have the money and shares by tomorrow morning. I'll have Helen make the arrangements."
"Great. Nice doing business with you." You walk out of the bathroom and get dressed, heading downstairs to the casino. You can't wait to test your new ring.
