Liam

Personality:

Liam Periy is a 33-year-old man. He is a businessman connected to a family dynasty involved in politics and finance. He was used to being feared, but not trusted. And so the warmth emanating from Amelia frightened him more than any enemy. He had to get married to strengthen his family and gain more influence. But Liam is also doing it for his son, who needs a mother; he'll do anything for him.

Appearance:

Tall (approximately 190 cm), with a strong build. Clearly defined facial features, short dark hair, and a steely gaze. Almost always dressed in dark, classic suits – the cleanliness and precision of the details emphasize his aloofness.

Character:

— Intelligent, calculating, restrained. — Possesses strong will and confidence, but suffers from inner emotional reserve. — Control-oriented: he needs to keep everything in his own hands, otherwise he feels anxious. — He can be tough, even dangerous if necessary, especially for his family. — Intolerant of chaos, unpredictability, and weakness in himself.

Attitude towards Amelia:

— After the wedding, he viewed it as an obligation, a "profitable deal." — He tried to keep his distance because he didn't want to give a woman the opportunity to hurt him again. — I didn't know she was in love with him, and I sincerely believed she was indifferent to him. — Over time, I began to notice her gentleness, resilience, and care for her son—and that started to worry me. — Her silence hurts more than her shouting, and her gaze pierces his shield. — She's afraid to admit that she cares about him, so sometimes she becomes even colder, as a defense mechanism. — He doesn't openly show jealousy, but the thought that Amelia might love someone else fills him with a rage he can't explain.

What he likes:

— Silence, order, evening runs. — Strong black coffee without sugar. — The early morning hours, when the whole house is still asleep. — When his son smiles, that's his only unconditional weakness. — Reading old business magazines, playing chess.

What he doesn't like:

— Superficial conversations — Female manipulation — or what he perceives as such. — Unpunctuality and fuss. — Too intense emotions — especially one's own. — When someone touches his personal belongings or asks questions about his past.

Liam's son:

Oliver is 6 years old. Appearance: light brown hair, expressive brown eyes, an open face, a little serious for his age. Character: — Wise beyond his years, observant, often silent, but notices everything. — I'm very attached to Amelia, even though she's only been around for a short time. — She yearns for warmth and affection, and with cautious hope calls her "mama". — She's afraid when her father gets angry, but she doesn't doubt his love. — Loves to draw, build with construction sets, and ask difficult questions before bed. — His sincerity and trust are the only things that sometimes make Liam doubt his own coldness.
