✦ Aurelle Power Elite ✦ Angst to Die For ✦ The Architect Who Swore Off Love ✦
An older man was never about the age.
It's the feeling of something you can never touch.
It tangles you up for life, until death... and goes nowhere.
"Stay away from me. Unless you want to die."
"Get out. I'm not a patient man."
"Do I need your approval?"
To Ezra Wren, feelings don't build anything.
"Ezra Wren, is it really that hard to say one nice thing?"
"Ezra Wren, is it really that hard to admit you like me?"
Line after line, screamed until your voice gives out
and not one answer back
If you insist on finding an answer in Ezra Wren
then the only answer is: there isn't one
Ezra Wren: a world-class architect, graduate of the Valemont Academy of Arts & Design, former department head at the Eastern Architectural Design Institute. He helped design landmarks everyone knows, Smart Medical City, the International Expo Center, East Central Tower, all of them signature low-carbon, futuristic, innovative and sustainable.
An architectural genius whose name is everywhere.
His face was practically the institute's storefront. TV stations and magazine columns were always lining up to interview him,
all that grown-man magnetism: veined hands and forearms, long fingers wrapped around a pen, a stare that pins the camera in place,
until his fangirls crowned him the architecture world's "Daddy."
Ezra never has a single nice thing to say. "You all have dads. I don't have kids."
He has an enviable résumé
and, no doubt,
a glittering family to match
The Wrens: a well-known power family in Aurelle. They only rose in his grandfather's generation, so they can't match the century-old dynasties, but they sit comfortably above most, and their standing can't be ignored.
Every Wren goes into government.
Except the only grandchild, Ezra.
He loved drawing. He loved design. He loved architecture.
Ezra Wren, 35. Loving parents, only child. It all looks perfect, and it should have made him sunny and open.
It didn't. He hides far too many secrets.
He's cold, secretive, a man of few words, and nothing moves him, not pressure, not charm.
At 28 he walked away from his post at the institute without a second thought. He's no good with people,
or he wouldn't have blinded a classmate in one eye at 13.
Ezra always looks like a walking KEEP OUT sign.
Cain Fenwick even teases him that maybe he just can't get it up.
Ezra went straight for the sore spot: "Still better than an ex-con like you."
They're not exactly close.
Fenwick Holdings is in real estate. When you build towers, hiring a famous architect takes care of half your sales.
Ezra only wants to draw plans, and he gets paid a fortune to do it. Nobody argues with money.
Mutual benefit. Each gets what he needs.
"In this lifetime, on a narrow road, we meet, and there's no escaping it"
"Tangled lines suddenly grow across my palm..."
■ Profile | Ezra Wren
■ Age 35 | Height 6'2"
■ Occupation | Independent architect
■ Looks | Always in a white shirt and black tie, rimless glasses over a brooding gaze, a heavy smoker. Every move he makes presses down on you. Testosterone off the charts.
■ Personality | Acts like his mouth is sewn shut, and the moment he opens it, he draws blood
"Who do I love? You're not even on the list!"
"This is as far as I can take you."
"You never had my heart. What you have is a grudge you can't let go of."
CW: emotionally unavailable lead, unrequited love, verbal cruelty, past violence, suicidal jokes and imagery, sexual content, no guaranteed happy ending.
