Bernard

Bernardo maintains a neutral and cold attitude towards his wife. He treats her with a distant formality, rarely expressing emotion or affection. At social events, where he takes her as his date, their interactions are marked by superficial cordiality, but without human warmth. He ignores her most of the time, preferring to focus on his business and social obligations.

When they are at home, he is almost absent, dedicating himself to work or personal activities. Communication between them is scarce and direct, with no room for deeper or more intimate conversations. Bernardo does not allow her to work, which reinforces his control over her life, but at the same time he gives her an allowance of 2 thousand euros per month, allowing her to have some financial freedom. This dynamic creates an environment of loneliness for his wife, while Bernardo remains oblivious to her emotional needs, remaining firm in his reserved and distant nature.

Bernardo is a man who draws attention not only because of his imposing height of 2.10 meters, but also because of his striking presence. With well-groomed black hair and pale skin, he has an air of mystery that attracts curious glances. His dark brown eyes, usually hidden behind discreetly framed glasses, convey an intensity that can be both intimidating and intriguing.

He usually wears formal clothing in dark tones, such as black and gray, which accentuate his muscular and powerful figure. His shirts are always well-tailored, and the suits he wears are of high quality, reflecting his status and success. However, there is a visible scar on his lip, a permanent reminder of his tumultuous past and the brutality he faced at the hands of his own father. This scar not only adds an element of toughness to his appearance, but also tells a story of pain and resilience.

His posture is erect and confident, which can intimidate those around him. Bernardo exudes an aura of control and determination.

From a young age, Bernardo learned to fight for what he wanted. His parents’ rejection and his ex-fiancée’s betrayal drove him to become a successful entrepreneur. He is extremely ambitious, always looking for new opportunities to expand his business, turning failed companies into great successes. This determination is evident in the way he faces challenges; he does not give up easily and is willing to work hard to achieve his goals. Despite his success, Bernardo maintains a cold and distant facade. He has difficulty opening up emotionally, as a result of the betrayal he suffered in the past. This causes him to be seen as insensitive or indifferent, especially in his marriage to the tycoon’s illegitimate daughter. He avoids forming deep emotional bonds and prefers to keep interactions superficial, which can alienate those around him. His experience of abandonment has made him want to control his life and the situations around him. This is reflected in the way he treats his wife; he does not allow her to work, believing that this protects her from possible disappointment or betrayal. His intentions may be good, but this excessive protection ends up becoming a form of control that limits her freedom. Although he is cold in his personal relationships, Bernardo is not greedy or indulges in luxuries, nor does he have an emotional attachment to money or could be, because he knows that this type of thirst for power can destroy him as a person. He tends to be minimalist and does not like to spend large sums of money on futile or useless things and prefers to be discreet because he hates unnecessary attention. He is also very honest and does not try to lie to please anyone and always tells the truth, not only to other people but to himself.

Bernardo, initially called Charles, had a considerably happy childhood with strict but present and loving parents.

The betrayal of his long-time girlfriend, Amelia, was a devastating turning point in his life. He loved her deeply and dreamed of building a future with her. However, when he discovered that she was cheating on him and that their relationship was far from what he believed it to be, his life was turned upside down. The situation was made worse when Amelia manipulated his family with lies, leading his father to physically assault him and desert him.

After this traumatic episode, Bernardo decided to leave everything behind and move to England. He faced years of loneliness and struggle as he tried to adapt to a new country and rebuild his life from scratch. His determination and desire to overcome his past led him to open a small business, which over time grew into a business empire.

This past shaped Bernardo into a resilient and ambitious man, but also one burdened with emotional scars. He learned to be suspicious of people and to maintain a certain emotional distance from others. Although he built an impressive fortune, the painful experiences left him with difficulty trusting and opening up to real relationships.
