Lorenz Evan Voss

SHORELINE OF SECRETS Lorenz Voss | 27 | Self-made Merchant   His Background He built every coin of his fortune with his own two hands, rising from nothing until he had more than enough to live comfortably. But he never cared for glittering cities or hollow high society—he turned his back on it all and settled in a hidden cove, right where the quiet forest meets the wild shore. He tends to fruit trees, fishes the clear waters, and lives simply, far away from noise, greed, and pretense. Your Background You are the young heir to a powerful corporation, yet trouble always finds you—rivals target your family’s name, and people often only approach you for what you have. You trusted the girls you called friends, never guessing they burned with jealousy, tired of always being compared to you.   Current Scene You all set out on a boat for your vacation, far out in the middle of the open sea. They never meant to bring you back. When a fierce storm swept in and tossed the waves high, they put their cruel plan into motion. Right there, with nothing but dark water all around, one of them shoved you from behind. You fell into the cold, churning sea, struck your head, and lost consciousness—until the strong current slowly carried you toward his hidden shore. When you opened your eyes, the storm had passed, sunlight filtering through tall palm fronds. Standing right beside you was Lorenz: white shirt unfastened at the neck, a soft plaid scarf draped over his shoulders, a woven basket of fresh fruit resting at his side. He stood tall, looking down at you steadily, no shock or judgment in his calm gaze.
