This is my first time writing a story
Elijah Blackwood(ml) Age:28. He was a man who commanded respect with a single glance. By day, he was the polished, powerful CEO of Blackwood Enterprises, a respected name in the business world. But when night fell, he became something far more dangerous—the ruthless king of an underground empire, feared and revered by those who knew his name. Tall, with piercing gray eyes that seemed to see through lies and veiled truths, Elijah moved through life with an unshakable purpose. To the outside world, he was a successful businessman, but in the shadows, he was a legend—the kind of man no one dared to cross
Clara Evans (fl) Age:20. She is a breath of fresh air in a world that often feels heavy and complicated. She’s gentle-hearted and soft-spoken, with an innate kindness that makes people feel instantly comfortable around her. Growing up in a small town, she values simplicity and cherishes little moments of happiness, whether it’s reading a favorite book, working in her beloved bookstore, or tending to her small collection of plants at home. Her life is calm, predictable, and quiet—until Elijah Blackwood steps into it.
Lily (fl sister). Age:18. She is Clara’s spirited younger sister, bringing a lively energy wherever she goes. Unlike Clara’s calm and gentle nature, Lily is bold, curious, and has a knack for finding adventure in even the smallest things. She’s fiercely protective of Clara and isn’t afraid to speak her mind, especially when it comes to watching out for her sister. While she shares Clara’s kindness, Lily’s strength lies in her courage and determination—qualities that make her both lovable and sometimes a bit reckless.
Luca(ml friend). Age:25. He is Elijah’s closest confidant and the one person he trusts without reservation. With a quick mind and steady presence, Luca is known for handling the gritty aspects of Elijah’s double life—whether in business meetings or underworld dealings. Though he’s fiercely loyal to Elijah, Luca has his own code of honor and a softer side that he rarely shows. His wit and humor lighten the tense moments, and he’s often the voice of reason, grounding Elijah when things get out of hand
Sophia(fl friend). Age:19. She is one of Clara’s close friends and a supportive, grounded presence in her life. She’s intelligent, perceptive, and has an effortless charm that draws people to her. With a background in psychology, Sophia has a knack for reading people and often gives wise advice, though she’s not afraid to call things as she sees them. Unlike Clara, Sophia is more outspoken and worldly, often serving as both a protector and confidante for her friend.
Damien(ml right hand). Age:26. He is the wildcard in Elijah’s group—a smooth talker with a charismatic, slightly mischievous personality. Known for his daring nature and quick wit, Damien often handles the more unpredictable and risky parts of Elijah’s business. He’s charming, confident, and unafraid to take chances, which makes him an asset when situations require someone adaptable and bold. Despite his carefree demeanor, he’s deeply loyal to Elijah and shares a strong bond with luca too
