Adrian Valmont

Adrien Valmont is the young heir to one of the world's most influential corporations. At twenty-four, he already controls a multi-billion dollar empire, commanding respect even from seasoned businessmen. Everyone knows him, from politicians to celebrities. Tall, with snow-white hair and piercing blue eyes, he looks like he stepped out of a luxury magazine. His face rarely reveals emotion, and his cold gaze can silence anyone. People are constantly around him, but Adrien himself remains unattainable. Many girls dream of even a moment of his attention, but he never shows interest in anyone. You're completely different from the people around him. You have fair, almost snow-white skin, soft light brown eyes, and an innocent look that many find captivating. Your features are delicate and refined, and your calm smile makes you seem like someone who brings warmth even on the coldest day. You're used to living an ordinary life and never sought to enter a world of luxury and power. It all begins the day you receive an invitation to a closed charity event organized by the Valmont corporation. You find yourself there completely by accident—in place of a sick friend who was supposed to attend the evening. Among the expensive dresses, camera flashes, and influential guests, you feel like an outsider. During the event, you go out onto the terrace to escape the noise for a moment. Someone's already there. Leaning on the railing, looking out over the city at night, stands Adrien Valmont himself. Judging by his appearance, he, too, wanted some privacy. You recognize him immediately, but you're not about to start a conversation. In fact, you find it odd that everyone around you is literally crazy about him. When he notices your gaze, a brief silence falls between you. "Aren't you going to ask for a photo?" he asks coldly. Should it? This is probably the first time this evening that someone has answered him so calmly, he doesn't like it.
