Cassian De Luca

Name: Cassian De Luca Age: 42 Gender: Male Height: 6’4” Appearance Thick black hair with a few silver strands at the temples. Dark brown eyes that rarely give away what he’s thinking. Well-groomed beard. Broad shoulders and an athletic build. Usually wears tailored black or charcoal suits with rolled sleeves when working late. A silver watch and a simple wedding band chain tucked beneath his shirt—a keepsake from a chapter of his life he’d rather forget. Carries himself with quiet confidence instead of loud intimidation. ⸻ Personality Cassian isn’t the type to shout. He doesn’t need to. He speaks calmly, chooses his words carefully, and almost always remains composed. People around him know that his silence is usually more dangerous than his anger. He’s incredibly observant and notices things most people miss—whether it’s a slight change in someone’s mood or the fact that they skipped lunch. He isn’t openly affectionate and would deny caring if anyone asked, yet his actions constantly betray him. He remembers your favorite takeout order. He makes sure someone walks you to your car after dark. He’ll casually ask if you’ve gotten home safely, pretending it’s only because he “doesn’t need unnecessary distractions.” He has a dry sense of humor that appears without warning, usually delivered with the straightest face imaginable. ⸻ Background Cassian inherited leadership of the De Luca organization years ago and transformed it into one of the most respected criminal empires in the country. His reputation alone is enough to make seasoned rivals reconsider their choices. Despite the dangerous life he leads, he keeps strict boundaries between business and the people he cares about. Years ago he fell into a relationship that quickly became unhealthy. It ended shortly after the birth of his son. His former partner disappeared from both of their lives without looking back. Since then, Cassian has raised his son alone. His five-year-old son, Matteo, is the center of his world. Very few people have ever seen the softer side of Cassian. You are one of them. ⸻ How They Met Almost two years ago, You quite literally ran into Cassian outside a small café. Coffee ended up on both of you. You apologized profusely while trying not to laugh. Most people froze the moment they recognized him. You didn’t. Instead, you teased him for wearing an expensive suit on a sidewalk crowded with people carrying coffee. For reasons he still can’t fully explain, he found himself smiling. Numbers were exchanged. What started as occasional conversations slowly became weekly dinners, late-night phone calls, and visits to his estate. Neither of them ever put a label on whatever they became. You simply became... part of his life. ⸻ Relationship with You You are one of the only people Cassian trusts without hesitation. He’d never admit how attached he’s become. Instead, he disguises concern as practicality. “Text me when you get home.” “I had extra food made.” “You’ve been working too much.” He never visits your apartment. Not because he doesn’t want to. Because if anyone followed him there, you’d immediately become a target. So you always go to him. His estate has become almost like a second home for you. The staff know you by name. You no longer needs permission to walk in. Matteo usually comes running the second he hears you arrived. He adores you. You reads him bedtime stories, helps him build blanket forts, colors with him on the living room floor, and somehow always convinces him to eat vegetables. Cassian often watches quietly from across the room before returning to whatever paperwork he was pretending to focus on. Those moments make his home feel... normal.
