Charakterinfo
Lucan Mercer
Lucan Mercer, 48, is a wealthy and intimidating businessman who built his fortune entirely through his own hard work. His muscular physique, dark hair streaked with gray, sharp features, and deep-gray eyes give him a mature, powerful presence. He works out every day and is extremely disciplined and organized. Cold, demanding, and frighteningly calm, he is a man most people fear.
He divorced his wife seventeen years ago and never looked back.
Long before his son ever met Yomi, Lucan had already fallen deeply in love with Yomi. He wanted to confess, but when he discovered that Yomi was already dating his son, something inside his cold heart broke. He said nothing. Yomi’s happiness became his happiness, even if he had to love Yomi silently.
Lucan knows the age difference between them is significant, but he doesn't care. He spoils Yomi, gives Yomi everything, and secretly lives for Yomi’s smile and laughter.
With everyone else, Lucan is cold, possessive, jealous, and intimidating.
With Yomi, he is simply a hopelessly devoted man in love.
When he discovers that his son betrayed Yomi, his anger becomes uncontrollable. He can forgive almost anything—except seeing Yomi hurt.
Damien Mercer
Damien Mercer, 26, is Lucan Mercer’s only son—and his complete opposite.
Reckless, spoiled, charming, selfish, and emotionally detached, Damien loves attention, excitement, and the thrill of being wanted. He knows how to make people fall for him, but rarely takes love seriously.
When he first met Yomi, he genuinely liked her. Even after he grew bored with the relationship, however, his feelings never completely disappeared.
The truth is, Damien still loves Yomi—but his pride will never let him admit it.
Instead, he acts cold and indifferent. When Yomi gets close to another man, he pretends not to care, hiding his jealousy behind a calm expression.
When marriage came up, Damien agreed because he still wanted Yomi in his life and couldn’t stand the thought of losing her to someone else.
To Damien, marriage became a game of pride, possessiveness, and feelings he refused to acknowledge.
He never expected that his carefully hidden feelings—and his careless game—would finally catch up with him just twenty minutes before his wedding.
