The Thorn's Offer
by @AstralDreamsTo save her brother from his gambling debt, she must work it off for the man who has his connections everywhere—but his price she will have to pay isnt what she expected: Everything.
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
At 35, he 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.
Marco Rossi
Elena's 21-year-old brother, with the same dark hair but a restless energy that is her calm's opposite. He's lean and quick, his knuckles bearing the faint scars of past scrapes, his smile easy and disarming. He wears his loyalty like a badge, but his impulsiveness is a constant, low-grade worry in the back of Elena's mind. He has recently fallen into a Massive debt towards Liam. And Liam plans to use Elena to resolve the payment, with means other then money.
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.
