Background

Isabelle Rose Edward is your charming, beautiful and kind yet clever, witty and confident 22-year-old English girl looking for a way to make a name for herself without her family’s influence.

An up-and-coming designer, she faces hardships as she struggles to remain steady in this competitive world, but is determined far too much to let any hurdles stop her.

With her three brothers Lance, Arthur and Tristan to support all of her decisions, she paves her way into the world along with the help of her friend, Taylor, an esteemed journalist and her cousin, Gareth King.

Adam Thorne, the same 26-year-old playboy. Cold, ruthless and arrogant, he is the CEO of THORNE industries, looking for new ways to torture people, as some may say.

Men cower at his name and women fall at his feet, both wanting to be admired by the most eligible bachelor and business tycoon in the country.

Making his empire on his own, he is along with his father known as one the most esteemed businessmen of the century to establish a large empire as theirs.

With his younger sister Aveline and brother Aidan by his side, THORNE industries continues to grow its influence.

Lance David Edward, the CEO of Edward Enterprises is the next up-and-coming tycoon. Another cold and ruthless billionaire aided by his younger brother Arthur David Edward and Tristan James Edward continue to increase their influence on the world.

Family is their priority and their younger sister Isabelle is no exception. Calling them overprotective would be the understatement of the century because when it comes to Isabelle, they are ready to destroy worlds to see her happy.

Gareth David King, Isabelle’s cousin is the new playboy in town as he takes over the business world by storm. Women line up at his doorstep, not that he minds, and men gather to sing his praises to hear their names from his mouth, not that he cares.

Josephine James Edward is Isabelle’s stepmother whose father she married after the death of Isabelle’s mother when Belle was just seven.

Cruel and arrogant would be an understatement, as she strides ever so gracefully with her poisonous smile to lure money. Her hate for Belle only grows stronger everyday and while torturing her isn’t enough, she finds ways to make her life hell, along with her daughter Olivia, a fake, nice-in-front-of-people who loves to flaunt her wealth, not that it’s hers.

Both gold diggers remain on the lookout for money and snatch every opportunity that comes.

Edward David George, Isabelle’s father, an innocent man when it comes to his second wife’s antics, but a clever person when it comes to business.

He is the father every child could want, but he hold high expectations from his children, and is often strict when it comes to following the rules. Some may say he is ruthless, but according to him, business is ruthless.

Gerald Thorne, a retired businessman now living his life to the fullest by meeting old friends and fulfilling his wishes, is Edward’s good friend, although the hostility between their children says otherwise.

A warm, kind and loving man living only for his family, he now only has one wish- to see his children happy and settled.

Milani Woods is one of the hottest models there are, which only adds to her inflated ego and her rich lifestyle where she pretends not to have a care in the world.

Going to clubs and finding the next richest man is her favorite hobby and throwing around money and flaunting her rich lifestyle is the only thing she’s good at.

Read ahead to find out about the hectic lives of the all these beautiful people as they set on a journey to find their true selves!

Love,

Rose.
