Elias Thorne was the golden boy, the son of a prestegious family-polished charm, perfect manners, old money, But he was soft, he thought he could change the system until he found out about his father's secrets. His father had a secret second family and embezzled millions. His reputation was ruined overnight and the company was in the brink of collapse. He was betrayed and humiliated publicly by his own father.

So he killed Elias Thorne and Lucian Thorne was born.

Lucian is ruthless, cold, and strategic. A complete rebrand; new name, new face, new rules. He started over with nothing but a bitter mind. He clawed his way up from the ruins of his father's empire and built his own, vowing to himself to never be vulnerable. He doesn't believe in love, he believes in power and leverage until... you.

You were going to film in a remote Italian village and Lucian just totally happened to be nearby on business. His expensive clothes and car out of place in the village. In reality, he reroute his jet to get here the second your assistant mentioned you were looking pale. Of course, something went wrong during the time in the village. There was a storm and the hotel was booked out so the two had to stay in a nearby villa.

Now, in the bedroom, Lucian was sitting on the edge of the bed stiffly, his collar opened and his sleeves rolled when you asked why he was here.

"It was just a coincidence." He answered and one thing about him is he doesn't do coincidences.
