THEIR STORY

Trigger warnings: alcohol poisoning, infidelity, fire mention

eldest son of young sweethearts Mayor Jonathan and Catherine Holder, yet Jonathan is not his biological father. There was a time period where he and Catherine had gone their separate ways during their college years, and she moved on to date fellow student, Simon Zaher.    

by the time Catherine realized she was pregnant, Simon had already secured a lucrative job offer that required him to move, not wanting to hold him back from a bright future, Catherine let him go

she returned to Jonathan after her college graduation, and told him she was carrying his child, the two got back together, marrying shortly after, and upon the day the baby boy was born, the couple named him Benjamin

catherine made an internal promise to herself to not say anything of her pregnancy’s truth unless Simon would end up contacting her again, though she figured her past boyfriend would rightfully be too occupied successfully completing his own big aspirations and goals

besides, jonathan was hardly innocent at all in their relationship with underlying business dealings and infidelity to keep hidden away from catherine

with the holder children unaware, benjamin grew up looking up to Jonathan, and Mr. Holder in turn was thrilled to take him under his wing and have a son to follow in his footsteps

however, this caused tension within the Holder family, particularly heightened between Benjamin and his younger brother, William, an aversion that even continued into the present

nevertheless, ben went onto to attend law school, yet, nearly jeopardized the opportunity entirely, by a horrific case of alcohol poisoning that landed him in a nearby hospital for recovery

college ended up being exceptionally rocky years for him, yet knowing failure couldn’t be an option, he had to put more work into his classes and required many hours of mentoring

once finally completing university and returning back to mystic, he instantly found himself as an apprentice at the town’s law firm, whitmore & co., having to climb the ranks and earn his spot as a renowned, respected lawyer

it was the necessary stepping stone to keep on track to take over for his father in the future, as essentially planned for years

ben continues to visit city hall regularly and is bent on residents needing to appreciate more of what his dad has done as a long-standing mayor, especially since the infamous fire that ravaged the town, despising gossip and rumors

after all what’s the use of thinking otherwise when his path has already long been set...? yet, there still remains a major component of his life unknown to him

THEIR STORY

Trigger warnings: pregnancy mention, premature birth, cheating, 

From the moment she was born, Nimah has been able to have access to anything that she desired. Whatever she wanted, she got. It was as simple as that. Want a pony? Nimah got one at seven. Want to fly Greece for the weekend? She’s been able to do that for her thirteenth birthday. Nimah also had the most packed after school activities, which also gave her the chance to learn whatever she wanted: languages, fencing, skiing lessons, acting, voice lessons, all kinds of other sports. Nimah was more spoiled than the average household child.

At the age of fifteen, Nimah had already thought over the question one million times: What is considered a normal childhood? A white picket fence, the perfect family dog, loving parents and a stable household income to keep everyone’s heads above water, is what most people would say. Nimah would agree with you, though, she had that life on a much grander scale. Being born to Michael and Dominique Turner was a privilege beyond belief. From an early age, Nimah was able to understand that her parents would and could give her anything she desired.

After the Turner’s had Marcus, it wasn’t until two years later and finally falling into the routine of having a toddler in their terrible twos, Dominique was beginning to feel ill. She didn’t think much of it until a coworker suggested pregnancy. Later that day, after dinner and when their son was asleep, Dominique took a pregnancy test - or several - that confirmed she was in fact pregnant. Michael and Dominique took great precautions during the pregnancy with the warnings of possibly losing the baby. Again, the parent never gave up hope. Nimah was born two months early with underdeveloped lungs.

Just because she had breathing complications didn’t make Nimah any less energetic than the rest of the kids in her class. In fact, she was even more so because of the number of teachers who tried to coddle her and tell her to not run around in the humid New York smog. Because of her continued defiance, Nimah was known as a bit of a rebel in her classes. This caused her to gain friends, but it was also because of her name, and her parents, that brought along a lot of fake friendships. Fame comes with a lot of perks. Going to amazing places, meeting fascinating people, attending fabulous parties, and eating sublime food and doing it in style - on private jets, huge yachts, and beautiful cars. Yet, Nimah knew that fame also had its downside. Because of these fake friendships, her life had become hollow and lonely.

People were always in awe of Nimah and her older brother, Marcus, despite never accomplishing anything huge themselves. It was also difficult for Nimah when all she wanted to do was have a quiet walk with her family, then in a split-second having people all up in their business, taking photos.

While many families kept status through secrets, gossip, and knowledge, her family did so for ages on the influence of sheer power or manipulation. Nimah’s branch of kin were the model of upper-class culture, smiling and gracious while also shyly cunning and elitist. Nimah’s family set the standard for what it meant to be a business socialite, achieving prominent celebrity status. Then, there was the all-consuming pressure of being a child born into such extravagant wealth and the pride the comes with succeeding. Nimah is constantly reminded how successful and great her parents are. Your parents did this. Your parents accomplished this. They gave you this, so you better do well. And she hasn’t. Nimah knows she’s falling short.

And then Marcus fucked-up everything. Or so the headlines say. For months, Marcus had been dehumanized in the papers for cheating on his wife. The Turner’s turned their back on Marcus – Except for Nimah. There might be an age gap between the siblings, but Nimah knows her brother, but although she always felt like there was more to the story, she never voiced her opinions, scared that her parents would look at her with the same disappointment.

Marcus decided to permanently escape the golden cage the siblings had been born into. A bitterness seeps into Nimah, wishing she could take hold of that same freedom, but Nimah came to realize that sometime your work is what keeps you sane — somewhere to go that wasn’t home, especially as Nimah didn’t have anyone specifically she could trust who was present. With Marcus away, it felt like he was making Nimah take the brunt of their parents unwanted attention and it felt suffocating.

So, Nimah began spending most, if not all, of her nights away from the Turner household. Festivals, theaters, cinemas, carnivals, and restaurants. Nimah spent her nights roaming around the city, meeting new people and high places and low. That’s why when Nimah and Marcus’ ex-wife ended up at the same speak easy, she’s able to shake it off because the fact that it was by pure coincidence was very high. Now, Nimah has always been very skillful in keeping her hands clean when it comes to drama. For some reason, possibly because of her seemingly kind nature, people automatically overlook Nimah whenever shit hit’s the ceiling. That’s probably why when she overhears Marcus’ ex-wife bragging to a friend that she was able to frame Marcus and take half of everything he has, Nimah doesn’t think twice when it comes to ruining the woman's life. Completely and utterly obliterated her name and everything she had accomplished in New York, eventually running the woman back to her parents in Long Island.

Nimah doesn’t remember when she came up with the idea of escaping her New York home to Mystic. It could have been the night she was on ecstasy or another day where she spent the whole afternoon in her room smoking up, maybe while her parents were away on a week's trip to a private coast somewhere in California. Whenever the idea came to her, Nimah packed up her room the twenty-four hours later and fled, only to show up on her estranged brother's doorstep without letting him know.

THEIR STORY

TW: Death, fire

As Helin grew into her first year, it was incredibly clear to both parents that she was attached to her father. She would cry whenever he left the room, she would call for him in her crib when he went to work on the farm. It came to the point where the roles had reversed and Rosie went back to work at the diner earlier than expected, with Can staying home to take care of Helin.

Soon after, Yasmin was coming into the world and despite being young, Helin couldn’t wait to meet the baby sister she wanted as a friend and companion. Only two years apart, it was obvious from the moment that Yasmin came into Helin’s life that there was nothing more important than the little sister who tugged on her ponytail and earrings. Helin can still recall the loud laugher ringing in her ears of Yasmin when she finally arrived home from the hospital.

In school, Helin was attentive and obedient in her classes. She respected her teachers and the information they were teaching her. More than most students. It was in sixth grade when Helin began doing a lot of her own research on her own time after noticing holes in history class and glossed over moments in time,

Realizing that his daughter had the sort of mind and the extraordinary ability that allowed her to absorb and learn at an incredible pace, Can begins teaching Helin about the ways of the farm early in life: planting things you know you can sell, how to control water and flooding, and most importantly, how to take care of the animals.

Helin decided to stay close to home and attuned the University of Connecticut in order to keep helping her father and taking up a few shifts to help Rosie at the diner. It was an easy decision for her, seeing as being any sort of star local of Mystic wasn’t exactly on her achievement list.

Helin graduated from university with top marks from vet school. She also took a job at the local veterinary clinic when they offered to take her under their wings with haste, and more importantly, with care. It was at Paw’s Veterinarian Clinic where Helin felt at home and gained a second family. The clinic quickly became an extension of Helin since she spent so much time there, learning and gaining experience.

Helin remembers the thick, grey smoke circling inside the church, the panicked yells as everything started to rumble. Burn, and breakdown. Eyes thick with tears, Helin wasn’t ready for the shove her father gave her, pushing her out of the way, knocking her off her feet just in time as a pillar of roofing came down upon them. Her father had become stuck beneath the heavy debris, and Helin did her best to help rescue him, but she only received burns and scars for her efforts before passing out.

Helin woke up in the hospital four days later, after her father’s passing. Plagued with survivors’ guilt and missing the funeral, Helin’s grief turns into resentment towards Yasmin for leaving at such a desperate and hard time for the remaining members of the Solak family.

Helin still cares after the animals on the family farm, but she doesn’t step foot into Rosie’s Diner or go anywhere near the church grounds anymore. Helin is happy to keep working away at the clinic that she loves so much. Though, she can feel her own demons beginning to rise from the depths of her underbelly, wanting to make themselves seen.

To keep her emotions to the back of her mind the best as possible, Helin has taken on even more work that could be worrying to outsiders, but if you know Helin well know, you know she’s going to be just fine. Now the proud owner of a brand-new business that’s currently being built in the farmlands of Mystic, the woman can’t wait to open the doors to the maze of the animal rehabilitation center called Main Haven.

On top of that, Helin has officially had enough with how Jonathan Holder has been taking care of Mystic and is officially beginning to call him out on his less than stellar attendance when things suddenly go haywire. So now, Helin has started playing around with the idea of running for mayor, not with the intention to win because she thinks she can do the job better, but because she hopes that the town, or even one person in the crowd, will see that Jonathan Holder isn’t as scary as he makes himself out to be and can be overthrown.

THEIR STORY:

Trigger Warnings: parental neglect

The youngest of three, Holly was practically destined to be a spoiled child

With rich parents who owned a fantastically well-to-do winery in houston, texas, holly viewed herself as a princess and expected everyone else to treat her as such

While spoiled, her parents didn’t exactly show her love. With her eldest sibling set to take over the Hawthorne family business, and an elder sister being their mother’s pride and joy, winning pageant after pageant, not much was expected from Holly, nor was she given much attention from her parents

This dynamic put a strain on her relationship with her sister as Holly felt she had to fight, tooth and nail for any tiny bit of approval from her mother

She grew up striving to always be the center of attention, anything less just wouldn’t cut it

A conniving, intelligent girl, she grew increasingly good at using her looks, her brains, anything to get an advantage and manipulate situations to work out the way she wanted them to

After getting a degree in journalism, she started working at her parents’ winery in the hopes of taking over their PR and proving to her parents that she was actually worthwhile. But all they allowed her to do was work a social media job

When both of her siblings picked up and left Houston, her parents sent her after them in an attempt to get her brother to come back and take over the company and her sister to continue boosting the Hawthorne family name

She’s had little to no success in the last eight months, but she’s beginning to care less and less

THEIR STORY:

Trigger Warnings: Alcoholism, Drug addiction,

like that of a sheep in wolf’s clothing, Camila had always been all bark, no bite. she’d always had a knack for putting on a facade to mask her feelings within. at disguising the darkness, pain and disappointment that bubbled beneath the surface.

she was born into a tumultuous household where she had to be the parent and raise her three younger siblings. their parents were more concerned with reaching the end of a bottle.

throughout high school she was the resident party girl, attending any and every social gathering to avoid being at home, having to take on the responsibility of being a parent. she yearned for the day she would turn eighteen and escape this hellhole for one of new york’s most prestigious dance schools. leaving mystic had only ever been a dream, however. that’s all it would remain to be.

to make ends meet, Cam took on a role at the local florist, She Loves Me, and eventually worked up enough savings over the years. five years ago, she purchased the shop from the owner who was more than willing to pass it on to her, given his bid for retirement and the fact he could entrust the store with one of his longtime employees.

eight years ago, she gave birth to a baby girl — Sage Annaliese Garcia. the result of a one night stand with a man whose name she couldn’t remember. that claim was far from the truth, however, for how could one ever forget the likes of Marcus Turner and their short-lived whirlwind affair?

her daughter, like her siblings, is everything to Cam. Sage is quite the intelligent, independent and sweet. she’s a curiousity-fuelled little girl, and isn’t afraid to, like her mother, be honest with you.

Cam is a fierce AF mother who will protect her daughter ‘til the days end, but she’s also the kind of parent to drink her way during a PTA meeting and cry in the car about not having enough time to manage everything. Cam is driven and stubborn, but also selfless and kind — if you’re lucky enough to experience her inner softness. she does a really sound job at keeping it at bay.

THEIR STORY:

Trigger Warnings: death, substance abuse

Marcus’s father took his father’s small oil company and turned It into a multi billion dollar conglomerate

Needless to say, Marcus has never known what it’s like to not have money

Growing up, the only taste of a normal childhood the Turner heir received was when he would spend his summers in Mystic, staying with his aunt and uncle

They were the only people who ever really made him feel loved and so when his aunt Annalise passed away when he was just 12, Marcus unsurprisingly, began to act out. He got involved in all of the stereotypical rich kid vices; partying, sleeping around, treating others as if they were beneath him, doing drugs, anything to try and get his parent’s attention

Years passed in this way and finally, Marcus was set to take his place within his family’s company. There was a hitch though. The board insisted that he needed to be married and settle down in order to take over. Marcus made a deal with his best friend, a high ranking employee in the company, that they’d get married and then share control of the company

His wife had other plans, however. About a year into their ‘marriage,’ she set him up to look like he cheated on her. Because part of the agreement was that if he reverted to his partying lifestyle at all, he would no longer be in line. She leaked the story to the tabloids, pretended to be the hurt wife, and while Marcus was essentially cut off from his family and the company, she took over.

Marcus fled to Mystic, where his uncle, who had passed away a year prior, had left his nephew the gym he owned

He’s begrudgingly began adjusting to life in the small town  up until recently when another bomb was dropped in his lap. A fling he had with Cam Garcia eight years ago resulted in a child that Marcus had no clue even existed until a few weeks ago

He’s now reeling with that realization and trying to figure out how the hell he’s supposed to be a dad

THEIR STORY

Trigger warnings: chronic illness, death, fighting, violence, drug selling/trafficking.

After enduring bullying from a young age both for his stature and his unique family — comprised of himself and two adopted siblings, Max learned how to fend for himself, and take no shit.

He went from the smallest, scrawniest kid in his class, to growing six inches and packing on an intimidating amount of muscle in one summer.

Max was 16 when his only biological sibling was born; a late, though welcome addition to the Richmond family tree.

He was picking up said younger sibling from school when he met Vanessa, the woman who would later become his wife and the love of his life.

Max and Vanessa were high school sweethearts turned husband and wife, after he proposed on the night of their high school graduation.

Max skipped the traditional post-grad life to jump start his life with his soon-to-be wife, first, working under his father at his auto body shop, and saving money for their white-picket fence life.

Seeing the opportunity presented to him, Max turned his one-time hobby of recreational boxing into a way to make money under-the-table; obsessing over ways to constantly make more, save more money. Money couldn’t buy happiness, but it could buy security, right?

And then, of course, things took a turn; Jodie, Max’s mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when he was 22, and his once-singular focus on building a life with Vanessa broadened, to ensuring that his parents and siblings could come out on the other side of this.

Then boxing turned into underground fighting, then collecting on gambling debts against the fights, and then, and then, and then… until Max found himself selling drugs for one of the biggest dealers in Detroit — all in his pursuit to constantly be bringing in money, though this time it was to help pay for his mother’s growing medical costs.

It was just after his 30th birthday when she passed away — though, truthfully, Max felt like he’d lost both of his parents at once. His father, overcome with the depth of his grief, became a recluse; took early retirement, and sunk into the mattress in his parents’ once shared bedroom.

Still, even as he contemplated all of the things that one does when they lose a parent — the brevity of life, and the value of its moments, Max couldn’t walk away from the kind of money he was seeing now. Success had made him greedy. And cold. And stoic. And withdrawn. And, soon, alone.

Vanessa, no longer able to withstand watching the man she loved deteriorate into a shadow of his former self, asked for a separation, then a divorce — not without a myriad of ‘I-told-you-so’s’ from her mother, who never liked her now ex-beau.

When he received a tip that a certain former mother of law in his had perhaps tipped the DEA off about his role in the so-called ‘war on drugs,’ in Detroit, Max hightailed it for the first place he could think of; his mother’s hometown: Mystic, CT.

THEIR STORY:

Trigger Warnings: alcohol tw, drugs tw, addiction tw, overdose tw

When children are asked what they want to be when they grow up, many of them would either dream big or declare a generic career. For Celestina, it was simple: don’t end up like her parents. An embarrassment of a deadbeat father and a weakling of a mother, she was raised at the hands of her older siblings. They taught her the true meaning of family, as they were the ones that gave her the impression of a hopeful future. Growing up, Celestina was an ambitious child, with a goal to leave Mystic on the whole and take control of her own life.

They say words can cut like knives and the people of Mystic surely knew how to make each syllable deepen in one’s wound. The endless rumours and gossip, the pitiful to disgusting stares, in her eyes it was shameful to hold the Flores Garcia name. Others would have thought all the embarrassment and humiliation her parents caused would have fuelled Celestina’s fire to veer off track and do her own thing. However, that wasn’t the case. If Mystic wanted a spitting image of her father, then surely she can do them a solid and one up it by being the best version of himself. To sum up, Celestina chose to live her life to the fullest and put all the things she considered fun first. When it got closer to her high school graduation, she made the decision of not pursuing any ‘realistic and normalized dream’ by choosing to stay in Mystic and making her own name for herself.

It was easy getting lost in a crowd that excelled in dirty money. The beginning of her adulthood consisted of mostly illegal activity as she involved herself with what society deems as ‘bad people’. However, for Cel they were her ride or die, the people who gave her purpose and so, she kept on hustling mostly through dealing with drugs and theft. She worked her way up the ranks, eventually running the group themselves, but it all came to a halt after an unfortunate event losing one of her best friends who had OD’d unexpectedly. Cel was responsible for finding the body and after seeing someone you knew lose their life to the one thing that makes you happy, definitely took a toll on Celestina as she attempted to turn a new leaf.

The mundane and completely sober life didn’t stick with her and a little over a year after her friend’s death, she eventually relapsed and returned to her usual habits. The only difference this time was that her addiction was more controlled per se, along with the dealings and she also opted for a stable income—being a dancer at the 401. To her, this type of hustle suited her best as she was able to come full circle based on the town’s mere judgement. A “typical” Garcia that’s off the rails? At that point she would gladly show you what that looks like. You see, for Celestina…She sees a pretty bright fucking silver lining to all this slander and as long as she can keep herself, her siblings and her niece afloat, then she has no other care for the world because to her, that’s all that mattered.

THEIR STORY:

Trigger Warnings: Drug mentions

one of mayor holder’s sons, also known as the black sheep and the one Jonathan likes the least. unfortunately, being born into a political family like the Holders, Will always had major shoes to fill. and boy, did his father and brother never cease to remind him of that.

for many years Will fought with the idea of perfection, undertaking his role as the town’s golden boy whilst veering towards succumbing to his innermost temptation to rebel. nothing he did was ever good enough for his father. there was always the fight between the angel or devil on his shoulder, and for many years, he couldn’t tell which was which.

he did try to be the ‘perfect son’. he attended Columbia University studying law. crime had always fascinated him. he never took it seriously, however, and lived with a profound sense of guilt knowing he’d turned down a number of fine institutions to study music.

still, he kept his joy for music under his belt, forming a band along with a few other college-goers. they’d start by performing all over campus, before taking over local bars and clubs in new york. they were relatively well known for a band of their calibre. over time, his focus on school began slipping away.

when they started a residency at a club in new york, he became closer and closer to the people who ran the club, even becoming their counsel in a sense with his background. all Will had ever longed for was validation and inclusion, something his father had never given him.. and something his boss most certainly did.

the club owner eventually placed his faith in Will, entrusting him with information regarding their underground business. but that all ended when he fell for the one he was paid to protect - his boss’ fiancee. despite every bid to fight it, he just couldn’t, and soon they became entangled in a whirlwind of an illicit affair.

of course, they’d discussed dreams of being together, but that would never come to be given the day she decided to marry her fiancee. Will, unable to deal with the heartache, gave up and left for his home town with his tail between his legs.

upon his return to Mystic, Will decided to place his focus wholeheartedly into something of his own. taking on a business partner he trusted, this is how the 401 came to be. a place for music, for dancing, and of course.. power.

Will Holder is a little bit of a grump, a cheek, and most certainly gets himself into the most troublesome situations on the regular. but there is goodness within him, it’s just a matter of who and what brings it out, and how far one is willing to go to see past his cocky charade and inevitable thirst for power.

THEIR STORY

tw: neglect, infidelity, fire, substance abuse

Carina was always the black sheep in her family, noticing differences between her and her siblings from a very young age.

Their parents often neglected the children, leaving her older sister (Cam) in charge of the rest of them while they binged on drugs and alcohol.

Even on a good day, their father refused to acknowledge Carina no matter how much she longed for his attention. She didn’t know why until one day, when she was fifteen, the truth about their mother’s affair surfaced.

She threw herself into academics from an early age, trying to win her family’s love and make them proud.

She was also involved in a lot of extracurricular activities during high school, like the volleyball team, book clubs, the science club, etc. as it looked good to potential universities and also got her away from home.

She went to school for law enforcement and became a detective because she wanted to help people and make a difference in their lives, following a very different path from the rest of her siblings.

She started working at Mystic PD only a few weeks before the fire and has been there ever since.

THEIR STORY:

Trigger Warnings: Cheating, death, 

Born and raised on a farm in Mystic to two amazing parents, Can and Rosie Solak, and successful older sister Helin. Her mom owns Rosie’s diner, and her late father tended to their farm before his untimely death. 

Yasmin never thought she’d leave her home town of Mystic, until she decided to follow then-boyfriend to New York, chasing his dream of becoming an actor. She, too, had similar dreams but had never thought of leaving her family... young love will do that to you. 

Safe to say that throughout their journey, studying the art of theatre, she put her head down and worked hard. this, along with her talents, did not go unnoticed when she recently landed the broadway role of juliet in romeo and juliet. soon enough, she was climbing the fame ladder. 

Throughout the last decade, she officially ended it with on-again off-again highschool sweetheart boyfriend when he cheated on her last year with his co-star. His ego had clearly gotten to him. 

So here she is, back in mystic. attempting to put the pieces of her life back together, and face everything she fought so hard to escape. her father passed away in the town fire five years ago, and though yasmin returned for the funeral, she couldn’t stand to stay.

Yasmin is now placing the entirety of her focus on developing her skills as an actress and bringing her love of theatre to Mystic. That, and she’s helping her mom run the farm given the time constraints with the diner.

THEIR STORY:

Trigger Warnings: alcohol abuse, physical abuse mention

Born to complete opposites, Sam never really had much of a relationship with his alcoholic & abusive father

His grandparents, world-renowned surgeons who believed their son in law could never measure up, had high expectations for their daughter, and their grandson once he was born

While a hard worker who was in fact passionate about medicine, Sam was determined to make a name for himself o his own merit, not by riding the coat tails of his grandparents

So, he did his medical placement in a tiny town in Connecticut where no one knew who his grandparents were and where he could start over

And that he did. He met and fell for the love of his life during his residency and a year or two after they started dating, Sam married Jamie Reid so they could begin what he hoped would be their perfect life together, as he vowed to never be like his father

However, in his attempt to make something of himself and be able to provide for his quickly growing family, Sam became a bit of a workaholic. He neglected his wife more than he realized and two years ago, she divorced him

He’s been working hard to change and better himself ever since

hey, is that ( KEREM BÜRSIN )? oh, no that’s just ( EMIR TUREL ). did you know ( HE’S ) a ( THIRTY-SIX YEAR OLD BUSINESS OWNER ) who’s been in mystic ( TWO MONTHS )? everyone around town knows him for his ( CHARMING and COMMUNICATIVE ) personality, but also for the fact that he can be quite ( GREEDY and MANIPULATIVE ). if asked, he would describe his overall aesthetic as ( A SOPHISTICATED SIGNATURE IN A DOCUMENT, EXPENSIVE RINGS IN HANDS THAT HOLD A GLASS OF SCOTCH, BAD DECISIONS AND CROOKED GRINS ). — ( penned by DANI, 27, EST, SHE/HER ).

THEIR STORY

Emir was the one and only child of an older couple that had always been too busy and enthralled in their lives of adventure, joy and cons. You read that right; his parents’ greatest accomplishment was to build an empire by getting away with stealing from the richest of people; they weren’t in the business for the money or the jewels, they were in it for the thrill of it.

People in Houston always commented on the fact that the Turel’s came out of nowhere, creating an empire that no one expected from a family that no one knew about and not a day goes by when there aren’t whispers of where their money comes from.

He was his parents’ joy and pride, even when they simply expected him to become yet another socialite like most people his age did but surprisingly enough, he was closest to his uncle and aunt, a younger couple that did their best to replace his parents when they disappeared months on end on a job; they taught him good manners, they showed him what a loving family could be like and to be loving, at least, until he was old enough to become interested in the materialistic things in life.

It was a surprise when he began to tag along to their business trips, finally putting whatever he had caught up on through the years when he was younger, following his parents and eventually showing them just how much he could help them out. They didn’t know it but his sudden interest was attached to the fact that he knew how everyone looked at their family; like they didn’t deserve what they had, like they weren’t good enough for the high society because they weren’t old money.

He was thirty years old when he graduated from business school and by then, he had already made up several covers for his family, invested money in restaurants, mobile apps. Where his parents were careless, there was Emir, a friendly face, a warm smile that made you feel safe and taken care of.

Emir was taking over the the world, but he has never felt complete. The part of him that couldn’t connect to anyone, that part of him that remembered who he was when his uncle and his wife gave him a home away from home, was miserable as he surrounded himself with emptiness and things that gave him pleasure momentarily.

Mystic is the perfect opportunity to begin building his own empire, something that only will have his name attached to it, so investing in opening up a new car dealership in town is his first priority but he’d lie if he didn’t say he wanted a fresh start, where people could see him as more than his parents’ son.
