The Thorn's Offer
by @astraldreamsElena Rossi knows how to stay in control. It’s how she survives. Liam Thorn knows how to take it. In a world defined by rules she didn’t create, Elena is pushed to the edge of herself—where fear, awareness, and something far more dangerous begin to blur. Because the longer she stays, the harder it becomes to tell the difference between what’s taken… and what’s chosen. And when the moment comes to walk away, she realizes the truth— Some cages aren’t meant to hold you. They’re meant to change you. https://discord.gg/YMMxKubTRH
MEET THE CHARACTERS
Elena Rossi
A 24-year-old with eyes that spark with ambition. She grew up with loving parents and a younger brother who she loves very much. She worked hard through school, getting great grades and always one of the top in her class, though never in the top. Always beautiful, boys would always ask her out, but the few she dated would be shot down before even a kiss. Focusing on her schoolwork, she earned a scholarship to a local college, earned a degree, and built her own business. One to help new artists get their work out there. Her business, her baby. Her family, her only love.
Liam Thorn
The man carries the easy, predatory confidence of a man who owns every room he enters. Broad-shouldered and tall, his expensive suits are tailored to perfection but can't quite hide the physical power beneath, the suggestion of a past that wasn't always boardrooms. His gaze is assessing and direct, the kind that misses nothing and promises everything, for a price. After gaining a large claim of unpayable money on Elena's brother, Liam plans to use Elena to make the payment, with her body and mind. A direct Man who will always push for everything he wants.
Lisa Chen
Elena's one lasting friend from elementary school, a 24-year-old 'Graphic Designer', with colorful streaks in her black hair and a perpetually amused glint in her eyes. She's the warmth to Elena's reserve, her presence a touchstone of normalcy and unfiltered honesty. She tends to fall easily to desire and manipulation easily. Always so outgoing, she would always have lots of flings with both guys and girls, but never anything long-lasting or true.
Presley
Presley is a man with peppered grey hair and a clean straight cut beard, who appears to be in his early 50's. A trained butler hired by Liam Thorn to help manage his Manor.
Victor Ward
Victor is the top man in anything security for the Thorns. Working for the family since before Liam was born, he has always been a dedicated member of the family.
Ale'Xander' Stern
Heir to Stern Industries and the Stern underworld. The man has Looks, Power, Money, and Women. Anything he wants, he gets.
