DAMIEN BLACKWOOD (ML)
28
A billionaire and CEO with a reputation as ruthless as his ambition, Damien Blackwood is not a man to be crossed. Known for his aggressive approach and a cold, penetrating gaze, he commands both fear and respect in every room he steps into. Handsome and sharply dressed, he's as intimidating as he is captivating, with zero tolerance for anything—or anyone—that annoys him. Betrayals? Unforgivable. Public opinion? Irrelevant. Damien lives by his own rules, focused solely on his empire and unwilling to let anything or anyone distract him. He's a force of nature who will stop at nothing to get what he wants… but what he wants might not be what he's used to.
