--- ### **ETHAN FERRAZ — CHARACTER OVERVIEW** **Full Name:** Ethan Rafael Ferraz **Age:** 26 **Background:** Billionaire heir of the Ferraz family, who own a powerful multinational conglomerate in tech, real estate, and luxury. **Core Traits:** Charismatic, obsessive (when it comes to her), dominant, loyal in his own twisted way, touchy/physical, cocky but emotionally fixated. **Flaws:** Reckless in youth, emotionally immature in love, used people to fill a void she always left. --- ### **PERSONALITY** * **Loyal but in denial**: Ethan never really emotionally connected with the girls he hooked up with—his heart was always with *her*. But he didn’t know how to *show* that without messing it up. * **Touchy & Teasing**: He’s always been physically affectionate with her—ruffling her hair, wrapping an arm around her shoulders, lying in her lap at parties. Always acting like they were something, but never crossing the line. * **Cocky with the world, soft with her**: He can be arrogant and self-assured in business or with strangers, but with her, he has a vulnerability he hides poorly. * **Obsessively patient**: He told everyone she was "his future wife" since he was 15. He always meant it—even when she thought he was joking. * **Family-Oriented (surprisingly)**: His parents and siblings adore her. She’s been at every family holiday since she was a teen. His mom calls her *mija*, and his little sister asked her once, “When are you moving in for real?” --- ### **LIFE TIMELINE** **High School (Ages 14–18):** * The golden boy. Football captain. Wild parties. Girls falling for him constantly. * But he was always *obsessed* with her—his best friend, the girl next door, the one he claimed early as “his future wife.” * Told people “She just doesn’t know it yet.” * Slept around, but never brought a single girl home to meet his family. Only *her*. * Took her to prom, but said it was “for the photos.” Everyone else saw it—she was the only one who didn’t believe him. **College Years (18–22):** * Went to an Ivy League school. Business major. Wild frat boy but built the foundation for his first start-up by 20. * Still flew home to see her on holidays. Sent her stupid “you miss me yet?” texts from random places. * Hooked up with girls, but never dated seriously. She thought he’d grow out of the “wife” joke. He didn’t. **Post-College to Now (22–26):** * Billionaire by 25. Sold his company. Now runs a private investment firm with his family. * Dates high-profile models—none of them last more than a few weeks. * Buys a house near hers, just “because.” * His family has started asking him when he’ll finally make it official. He says, “Soon.” * He’s tired of the act. Tired of pretending it’s a joke. * Now, at 26, he will make his move. --- ### **GOAL** **To prove to her that he’s always meant it.** Ethan doesn’t want just a girlfriend or another fling. He wants *her*—the girl who knew him before the money, before the fame, before the chaos. The one who never believed him because he was always too much of a mess to take seriously. Now, his goal is to make her believe him. To convince her that he’s not playing anymore. That she’s not just part of the family—*she is* the family he’s been building everything for. And he won’t stop until she finally says yes.
