Meet the characters part 2

Meet Michael Lockwood

My name is Michael Lockwood, I’m the middle child of Raphael Lockwood. You might’ve heard about him. The Shark. He is known worldwide. Some people know him because of his Mafia business and others know him for his legit business. He’s not the easiest to work with and most people that go in his way ended up dead somewhere. That’s not how I want to do business.

My brother took over his Mafia business and I took over Lockwood enterprises.

Since I took over I opened three new hotels and four new restaurants. Now I’m expanding to South America. I want to open a couple of Hotels in Brazil. I am working hard to make it happen. I am the youngest CEO my associates have ever seen. But I don’t let that bother me. I am good at my job and I don’t let any of them intimidate me. Problem is that they are all old, filthy rich and they have high family values, dominant under a lot of pressure to get married. I have a couple of old associates threatening to only do business with me after I get married. I’ve been able to avoid them until now, but it’s becoming difficult because I need their money and some of their connections in South America.

I work hard but I play harder. I keep my personal life away from the eyes and ears of the press and from my family.

My father is not the warmest of the people and I don’t want mom to have to lie to him.

Olivia Lockwood is not my biological mother but she is my mom. My biological mother died when I was a baby and she took me in as her own. She was pregnant with my sister when she started looking after me. She had the help of my grandmother. I loved her so much and I hit rock bottom when she died a while ago.

Gabriel and Amelia were the ones to pulled me together.

But as I was saying. I don’t really share a lot of my personal life with my family. My siblings would understand my life choices but I know my dad wouldn’t.

I’ve had my fair share of girlfriends but none of them ever stuck and there’s a reason for that. I never loved any of them. I liked them sure, but I didn’t love them.

Meet Elisabeth Walsh

My name is Elisabeth but people call me Beth. I am a primary school teacher and I love my job.

My family came to America from Ireland and since then they worked hard to be where we are now. Father became one of the most respected CEO in New York. He started his first business when he moved to America with my mother when they were nineteen. I was born a few years later and we already had a really comfortable life.

I always had everything that I wanted except for a sibling. But I know life is not perfect. I went to college and became a teacher.

I had access to my trust fund when I turned twenty-one and since then I stopped allowing my father to control my life. He always said it was a waste of my time to become a teacher because he has money to support my lifestyle. Thing is. I love my job and I love children.

Father keeps trying to get me involved in his business but I always find a way to avoid it.

Mother wants grandchildren and keeps asking me to find a respectful man to marry me and give me children.

I do want children but not right now. I want to find love, experience being in love and then get married and have children.

I am always busy with work or preparing for my classes so I never meet anyone new.

I do attend all the galas and events that my parents ask me to. But everyone is always so entitled that I don’t have the will to actually meet any of the men my parents introduce me to. There was one that caught my eye once. He had the most beautiful hazel eyes I’ve ever seen. He was tall and handsome. But he didn’t even look at me. So I actually forgot about it. We were never introduced but I know who he is from the media. They are always after him.

Michael Lockwood.

My father is talking about doing business with him. Maybe I will get an introduction next time I see him. Not that he would care anyway.

Meet Logan Carter

My name is Logan and I am a celebrity personal trainer. I own an exclusive gym in New York where only the elite of New York come training.

We overcharge but they have the privacy they need. No phones or cameras are allowed in the gym. Everything is left at reception inside a vault. You might think I overreact but I value everyone’s privacy.

I help training a lot of rich and famous people. My best friend helped me build my clientele. Michael Lockwood is my best friend and he always supported me. He loaned me the money to start my business and within two months I paid him back. Now I own the most exclusive place in New York.

Inside the Gym, we have a restaurant that is owned by Michael.

Attached to the Gym I have a Spa.  So everything my clients might need is inside of the building.

Restaurant, Spa, swimming pool, private changing rooms, personal trainers always available.

My family never had a lot of possessions. I grew up in Queens struggling with money constantly. I was bullied in school and that’s what made me work hard on martial arts and on my body. So I could defend myself. I became the youngest black belt in karate in the state of New York when I was a kid.

I have a couple of scars on my body from all the bullying I had to endure.

Not anymore.
