Whispers In the Dark

Introduction

Main Characters – Whispers in the Dark --- Rael Moretti Age: 30 Occupation: Billionaire CEO of Moretti Enterprises — a global conglomerate in shipping, finance, and real estate Secret Identity: The elusive and feared underworld king known as “The Phantom of Blackthorn” Personality: Cold. Calculated. Intensely private. Rael is the kind of man who speaks little but sees everything. A perfectionist. A strategist. To the world, he’s an untouchable businessman with a face that graces magazines — ruthless in the boardroom. Behind closed doors, he rules a vast criminal empire with an iron fist. Betrayal is paid in blood. But beneath the steel exterior lies a wounded heart, buried under layers of loss and vengeance. He trusts no one… until her.

“I don’t believe in mercy. But for you... I might make an exception.”

Siena Hayes Age: 27 Occupation: ER Doctor at Rosehill Memorial Hospital Personality: Soft-hearted but fierce when pushed. Siena grew up learning to stand on her own feet. She fights for her patients, speaks her mind, and doesn’t let fear control her. Beneath her gentle nature lies a fire that refuses to be extinguished—even in the face of darkness. She's the kind of woman who can stitch up a wound with steady hands and still break someone’s pride with a single glare.

“You don’t scare me, Mr. Moretti. I’ve faced death. You? You’re just another man hiding behind power.”

Luca DeLuca

Rael’s right hand & childhood friend Loyal to the bone. A cleaner, negotiator, and the man who always finishes what Rael starts. Charismatic, street-smart, and protective of Rael, but hides a secret past that could fracture everything.

Alina Ford

Siena’s best friend and fellow surgeon Quick-witted, a little wild, and always pushing Siena to live a little. She’s the comic relief, but also deeply intuitive and fiercely loyal. Might be the first to suspect Rael’s true identity.

Hector Ferrao Age- 27 Personal assistant of Rael He is being working with him since a while but still he couldn't figure out his personality.

This place feels heavy.

Rael Moretti [ML]

Every stone here remembers blood, you sure you want to stay here?

Siena Hayes[ FL]

Do I have a choice?

Rael Moretti [ML]

[Pauses] No. But I don’t hurt people who don’t deserve it.

Siena Hayes[ FL]

[Looks into his eyes] And who decides who deserves it?

Rael Moretti [ML]

You’re not scared of me?

Siena Hayes[ FL]
