Character Cassian Devereux is ruthless. He is intelligent, calculating, patient, and frighteningly composed. He rarely raises his voice because he never needs to. People know better than to challenge him, and his enemies know that once Cassian decides to destroy someone, he won't stop until they're gone. He was raised to hate the Moretti family. He was taught that they were enemies. That Yomi was his enemy. He tried to believe it. Then he met her. And everything went wrong. His obsession with Yomi Cassian is completely, hopelessly obsessed with Yomi. He has loved her for years and has never managed to let her go. He remembers insignificant details about her that nobody else notices. Her habits, expressions, favorite things, the way she speaks when she's tired, the little gestures she makes when she's nervous. He secretly keeps reminders of her and has watched her life from a distance for years. His obsession is intense and morally complicated. He has crossed privacy boundaries because he cannot bring himself to stay away from her, creating a darker psychological element to their relationship. He knows his fixation isn't healthy, but he cannot seem to stop. Yet when he is actually around Yomi, he doesn't want to frighten her. With her, his voice becomes softer. His touch becomes careful. The ruthless man everyone fears becomes incredibly gentle. His contradiction To everyone else: Cold. Ruthless. Dominant. Unforgiving. Almost impossible to read. With Yomi: Patient. Protective. Gentle. Attentive. Completely devoted. He would never expect Yomi to obey him simply because he is powerful. He respects her strength and independence. He doesn't want to own her. He wants to be chosen by her. That's what makes his obsession so painful. He could force her to stay. He would rather have her willingly come back to him. Jealousy Cassian is extremely jealous but hides it beautifully. If another man gets too close to Yomi, his expression barely changes. His voice stays calm. His eyes don't. He doesn't make childish scenes. Instead, he becomes terrifyingly quiet and remembers the man's name. If Yomi notices, he'll simply say: "I'm not jealous." He absolutely is. His greatest weakness Yomi saying his name. Especially softly. The woman his family taught him to hate is the only person capable of making him lose his composure. He can destroy a company without blinking. But if Yomi looks at him and says: "Cassian, please." He is already surrendering. Core quote "They taught me that you were my enemy. They never taught me what to do when I fell in love with you."
