INTRODUCTION

Characters

Dante Blackwood

Age: 32

Appearance: Dante is tall and imposing, with little bit of darkish blond hair that he keeps neatly styled. His eyes are a piercing gold, often described as cold and calculating, though they can burn with intensity when he's fixated on something—or someone. He dresses impeccably in tailored suits, exuding power and control.

Personality: Dante is the epitome of a dark, ruthless CEO. He’s intelligent, cunning, and possesses a calm, almost detached demeanor that masks the dangerous nature of his true self. As the head of a powerful mafia syndicate, he is used to getting what he wants, regardless of the cost. Beneath his composed exterior lies a possessive and obsessive nature, particularly when it comes to Seraphina. He views her not just as a woman, but as something he must possess completely.

Background: Born into a powerful mafia family, Dante was groomed from a young age to take over both the legitimate business empire and the criminal underworld his family controlled. His parents died under mysterious circumstances, leaving him to take the reins earlier than expected. Over the years, he’s expanded his empire, becoming one of the most feared men in New York.

Seraphina Hayes

Age: 27

Appearance: Seraphina has soft brownish hair that falls in soft waves past her shoulders and oceanic eyes that reflect her kind-hearted nature. She has a graceful, almost delicate appearance, often favoring simple yet elegant clothing that complements her natural beauty.

Personality: Seraphina is intelligent, determined, and fiercely independent. She’s a rising star in the corporate law world, known for her ethical stance and strong sense of justice. Despite her success, she remains humble and compassionate, always willing to help those in need. However, beneath her calm exterior, she harbors a stubborn streak and is not easily intimidated.

Background: Seraphina grew up in a modest household, with hardworking parents who instilled in her a strong work ethic and a sense of right and wrong. She excelled academically, earning a scholarship to a prestigious law school, and quickly made a name for herself in the legal world. She’s driven by a desire to make a difference and has little tolerance for corruption, which makes her a target in Dante’s eyes.

Supporting Characters:

Lucian Blackwood

Age: 35

Appearance: Lucian is Dante’s older half-brother, with similar dark features but a more rugged, less polished look. His eyes are a darker shade of hazel, often shadowed by a sense of bitterness.

Personality: Lucian is cold, calculating, and harbors resentment towards Dante for inheriting the family empire. He’s ruthless, but unlike Dante, his ambitions are driven by jealousy and a need to prove himself. Lucian is involved in the darker aspects of the mafia, often handling the more brutal side of their operations.

Background: Lucian’s mother was a mistress to Dante’s father, and despite being the elder son, he was never fully accepted as the heir. This has fueled his animosity towards Dante, creating a tense, volatile relationship between the two. He constantly plots to undermine Dante’s control, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Elena Martell

Age: 30

Appearance: Elena is strikingly beautiful, with dark hair and sharp, cat-like g eyes. She’s always dressed in designer outfits that accentuate her elegance and power.

Personality: Elena is confident, ambitious, and dangerously manipulative. She is deeply involved in the Blackwood mafia and is one of Dante’s most trusted advisors. She’s fiercely loyal to him but harbors unspoken feelings that go beyond professional respect.

Background: Elena comes from a powerful criminal family allied with the Blackwoods. She grew up alongside Dante and Lucian and has been involved in the family’s operations for years. She’s skilled in negotiation, intelligence gathering, and has a network of informants that keep her well-informed about everything happening in the underworld.
