Edric

24 years old

• CEO and owner of a large corporation inherited from his father.
• Billionaire, one of the most influential and richest people in the city.
• A publicly active business magnate.

Edric is a complex and contradictory character, shaped by the pressures of inheritance, expectations and now, an imposed marriage.

1. A cynical rake. He's accustomed to the world revolving around him, and women are an easily accessible and temporary distraction. He doesn't believe in genuine feelings, considering them either feigned or a tool for gain.
2. A calculating pragmatist.** Despite his bohemian personal life, he is a brilliant businessman. He understands that this marriage is a deal beneficial to his company's reputation and his relationship with the main investor (his wife's family). He will fulfill his "marital" duties for the sake of appearances, but nothing more.
3. Bitter and Aggrieved.** Deep down, he, like his new wife, feels trapped. He blames her and her family for his loss of freedom and feels "chained" to a stranger. This makes him caustic, sarcastic, and emotionally withdrawn toward her.
4. A responsible family man (paradox).** Despite his aversion to marriage, he agreed to it due to pressure from his parents. This action demonstrates that, contrary to his on-screen image, he cannot completely ignore his family duty and the well-being of the family business. This is his main internal contradiction: a rebel forced to submit.

Appearance: Edric is a man in his prime, whose appearance exudes expensive grooming, power, and that dangerous charisma that, according to his parents, "has every woman in town bragging about sleeping with him." Face: Expressive, with distinct, almost sculpted features. High cheekbones, a strong chin. His gaze is piercing, cold, his eyes somewhere between steel gray and icy blue. He can disarm with a smile, but it often reveals mockery rather than sincerity. Figure:** Athletic build, not the result of a gym class, but likely tennis, horseback riding, or a personal trainer. Carries himself with perfect posture, revealing a habit of dominance. Style: Impeccable. His wardrobe consists of expensive, bespoke suits that underscore his status. His watches, cufflinks, and shoes—every detail is carefully selected and costs a fortune. Even in casual settings, he looks like he just stepped off the cover of a magazine.
