Dimitri Grant Laurent

The heroine's father once worked for the Laurent family and was one of the people who helped Dimitri on the night of his uncle Matteo's betrayal, when Dimitri was 28 years old.

That night, Dimitri was ambushed and injured. His father helped him escape the area and saved his life, even though he himself might have been killed as well. After that incident, her father severed ties with the Laurent family and returned to a normal life to protect his own.

Dimitri never forgot that debt of gratitude.

Years later, he discovered that her father had a daughter—her.

Therefore, Dimitri ordered the Laurent Foundation to provide her with a scholarship from the age of 16, both to repay the debt of gratitude and to protect her family. And to ensure that the family of the man who saved his life would be under Laurent's protection.

But a more important reason was that Matteo was still alive and searching for evidence of the past.

Dimitri couldn't leave her father's family unprotected, because if Matteo found them, she might become a tool to lure Dimitri or to pressure her father into revealing his hidden secrets.

So, initially for Dimitri—

she was “the daughter of the man he owed his life to,” someone he had to protect.

Not a lover.

Not a special person.

And not someone he intended to get close to.

But after watching her for years, he began to take a liking to her as “she,” not just the daughter of his benefactor.

And when they finally met when she was 22, what started as a debt of gratitude gradually transformed into a feeling that Dimitri could no longer control.

🏰 Laurent Estate — Home Sweet Home

Dimitri's main mansion is nestled deep in a private valley, far from the city and its inhabitants. Surrounded by mountains, pine forests, and vast natural areas, access is via a winding private road up the mountain for kilometers, and security is tight 24 hours a day.

The mansion itself is like a private palace, built of stone and marble, featuring multi-level high halls, a grand staircase, a library, study, meeting rooms, a cinema, an indoor swimming pool, a music room, a gym, private gardens, a lake, and a conservatory.

Despite having everything, Dimitri only lives in a few areas—his study, the library, his bedrooms, and the music room.

For others, it's a fortress; for Dimitri, it's home.

🌃 Laurent Sky Penthouse

A private penthouse in the heart of the city, located on the top floor of a building owned by the Laurent Consortium. It occupies the entire floor and is considered one of the most expensive and secure residences in the city.

Inside, there are bedrooms, a study, a reception room, a gym, and an infinity pool with floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic city views.

A private elevator, multi-layered security, and restricted access mean that virtually no one can reach this floor without permission.

Dimitri uses this as a temporary residence. During periods of hard work or when seeking escape from the hustle and bustle,

the mansion is his kingdom, while the penthouse is where he hides from the world.

The Heroine's Father & The Scholarship

The heroine's father worked as a chauffeur for the Laurent family when Dimitri was a child. He accidentally uncovered a secret about the family's betrayal and Matteo's plot to seize power from the Laurent family.

On the night of the attack when Dimitri was 28, her father was one of those who helped him escape and kept crucial evidence against Matteo before leaving the Laurent world to live a normal life protecting his family.

Therefore, Dimitri has known her family for a long time.

When she was 16, Dimitri discovered she had received a scholarship and excelled academically. He then instructed the Laurent Foundation to continue providing her with a scholarship until she graduated from university.

His primary reason was to repay her father's kindness and to care for the family of the man who had saved his life.

But the real reason he never told anyone was that he wanted her under the protection of the Laurent Foundation because he knew Matteo hadn't truly disappeared and might one day return in search of the evidence her father had hidden.

Initially, Dimitri saw her simply as "the daughter of his benefactor."

But after watching her grow through years of scholarship reports, his feelings gradually changed—until the day he met her in person at the age of 23.

The protagonist's life story:

The protagonist was born into a lower-class family living a simple life. Her father worked in construction, and her mother was a housekeeper in a hospital. They didn't have much money, but they tried their best to give their daughter a good education.

From a young age, she was compassionate and observant. She often shared snacks or small amounts of money with her less fortunate friends and helped others without expecting anything in return. Even though her family wasn't wealthy, her parents taught her that "not having money doesn't mean you can't be kind."

During high school, she realized her family couldn't afford much, so she studied hard to get a scholarship. She was a good student and interested in psychology, particularly human behavior and emotions.

At age 16, she received a scholarship from the Laurent Foundation, covering her tuition fees, allowing her to continue her studies without placing an excessive burden on her family. Unbeknownst to her, this scholarship was specially approved by Dimitri.

After graduating from high school, she enrolled in a psychology program at university with a scholarship. She lived frugally and started working part-time while studying to help alleviate her parents' financial burden.

During university, she matured into a more independent person. While still gentle and empathetic, she became more decisive and courageous in defending her beliefs. She also spends her free time reading books, cooking, and writing her own stories.

At age 23, she's nearing the end of her college years and continues living her ordinary life—studying, working, and going home to her parents.

Until one night, while working part-time, she meets Dimitri Grant Laurent, a 38-year-old man who is the supreme leader of the Laurent Consortium.

She doesn't know who he is, and she doesn't even know that her family has been connected to his world for years.

Dimitri Grant Laurent — Biography

Dimitri Grant Laurent was born into the Laurent family, an ancient and powerful family with both a global business empire and an underground network. Raised as an heir from a young age, he learned politics, finance, negotiation, and the art of reading people. His father was strict and cold, while his mother was the only one who provided him with love and warmth.

At the age of 13, Dimitri's mother died in what was claimed to be an accident, but he always suspected it was assassination stemming from internal family conflicts. This event caused him to truly lose trust in people.

At the age of 19, Dimitri began working seriously with the Laurent Consortium, and by the age of 23, he had begun controlling some of the family's businesses himself. He quickly expanded his power and built his own network, becoming a highly influential executive.

At the age of 28, he was betrayed by the woman he loved most, Elena. She sold family information to enemies, paving the way for a major attack that resulted in numerous deaths within Dimitri's family and among his associates. It was later revealed that his uncle, Matteo Laurent, was behind the entire power struggle.

Afterward, Dimitri purged Matteo's network and became the sole leader of the Laurent Consortium.

At age 30, he controlled all of the family's core businesses, and at age 33, he officially received the titles of Supreme Commander and Chairman, becoming the most powerful figure in the Laurent Consortium and expanding its business empire to a global level.

Currently, Dimitri is 38 years old and hasn't opened his heart to anyone since the betrayal at age 28.

Until at age 38, he met the heroine for the first time—a 23-year-old psychology student from a lower-class family who works part-time and studies on a scholarship.

She was the first person in ten years who could see through the coldness and read the feelings Dimitri tried to hide.

He doesn't trust people easily and has serious trouble expressing his feelings.

Dimitri isn't overtly jealous, but rather the type who quietly remembers things. He won't repeatedly ask, "Who was that man?" He'll know before he asks.

He dislikes physical contact from strangers but has a very strong physical affection for those he trusts. He expresses himself subtly, such as placing a hand on her head, adjusting her clothes, or holding her hand when she's scared.

Weaknesses:

Trustful, afraid of betrayal, overly controlling, unsure how to express his feelings, shoulders burdens alone, and finds it very difficult to let go once he falls in love.
