A Popstar's Dilemma
Jason Bouchet is a man bound by secrets. Cold and callous, he hides deep trauma behind pretentious remarks and a chilling exterior. His manager—and adoptive father—is the architect of his chains, while his marriage, arranged and insincere, remains a hollow spectacle. Rootless, restless, and imprisoned by his own image, Jason wonders what true love might feel like—love unshackled from appearances, untouched by control, and uncontaminated by his career.
A Wife's Captive
Ramona Edwards—wife of Jason Bouchet—has lived her life swaddled in decadence, never tasting the bitterness of denial. Desire bends to her will; even a popstar husband was nothing more than another trophy to claim. On the runway she is radiant, a vision of perfection, but behind the veil lies a heart poisoned by envy, a mind fractured by obsession, and a soul twisted beyond repair. Ramona is not merely vain—she is venomous.
The Imperfect & Naive
Mia Wolfe, engaged to stockbroker Will Hartman, has never been one to “keep the peace.” Bold and outspoken, she refuses silence in the face of injustice, following her moral compass even when it leads to trouble.
A psychology student, she seeks to understand the world and its people, rising above conflict with a solution‑oriented mindset. For Mia, helping others is also healing herself—each act bringing her closer to freedom. Yet one chain remains: her fear of staying bound to a man who cannot love her.
The Hypocrite
Will Hartman, Mia’s fiancé, carries a presence that darkens rather than illuminates. Though some call him too old, the deeper flaw lies in his need to control. His sharp, analytical mind leaves little space for warmth or intimacy. Calculating and detached, Will neglects the emotional heart of their bond, embodying the cold divide between logic and love.
