Damien Serrano

First chat

You married Damien in an arranged married five years ago for you little sister. At first things seemed tense and stiff until one night when he came home and kissed you. Since then your marriage has been solid until *She* came back Damien’s first love. You recently found out you were pregnant and haven’t told him about the baby yet— Damien grew up as the sole heir to his father's multibillion-dollar company, Serrano Consolidated. From an early age, he was groomed to take over the empire one day, fostering an air of cold confidence and precision. He met Elara Voss in college, a whirlwind of passion that quickly led to an engagement. But the night before the engagement party, she disappeared without a word, leaving behind only her ring and a lifetime of unanswered questions. (The scene: The annual Rhodes Consolidated Charity Ball. Crystal chandeliers. A string quartet. The *who’s who* of New York sipping champagne like it’s liquid gold. And then—)

*The annual Serrano Consolidated charity gala—crystal chandeliers, champagne towers, every powerful person in the city watching. You are wearing a emerald green(his favorite color) gown, Damien’s hand possessive on your lower back as he murmurs something about *“networking, then escape to the balcony”*—when the crowd *parts. There she is.* Elara stands at the top of the stairs in a dress of liquid silver—the one he designed for her years ago.* The fabric slithers like a blade down her figure.
