remember my lack of self control ... well, here’s demon number three !

trigger warnings: implied child abuse, neglect.

with a mother nowhere to be seen or found, luciana was raised in new york city, new york by her deadbeat father who wasted no opportunities throughout the years to tell her that she wouldn’t amount to anything in life ─ after all, being a loser was in her blood.

for a while she believed him; it was hard not to when you were being told those things by one of the two people who were supposed to love you most in the world. she didn’t know what she’d done wrong, but she suspected it had something to do with her mere existence, her mother’s disappearance and the hole that was left in her father’s heart in return. then again, that was no excuse. 

their financial situation didn’t help, either, and it was something her father loved to remind her of as well. if she weren’t in the picture, he’d be able to live more comfortably; he’d only have one mouth to feed and that was his own. as if that was her fault. it wasn’t long until she decided that she wouldn’t be in the picture for much longer ─ by whatever means necessary, she would get out of that house and of his life, for good.

from then on, she buried herself in her studies, figuring that was the best and safest way out. her father couldn’t afford a good school or even the materials but she relied on scholarships. whenever she wasn’t studying, she was working odd jobs here and there, saving money for when she would eventually break free.

she was a straight a student. her teachers never had any complaints to make about her ( and it was definitely a good thing that no one ever caught her selling homework answers, or doing papers for her classmates for a price ) and with each passing year and scholarship, her future seemed brighter and brighter.

getting into law school seemed like a distant dream even for an overachiever such as herself, but she did it ─ and boy did she appreciate it. this was her way out. she even had her pick of a few different universities and she picked the one as far away from her father as possible, hellbent as ever on cutting all ties with the man.

twelve years ago she found her way to beverly hills. her resume was flawless and that paved the way for her after graduation, which was the true kickstart to her new life. the job offers, along with the money she still had saved, ensured she’d have a good, comfortable life. 

as it turned out, the woman acquired an expensive taste and got used to the finer things in life. don’t get her wrong, she could never forget her humble beginnings ( as hard as she tries to delete every memory of her father from her mind ) but she doesn’t plan on ever going back to that place. in fact, ever since she left her childhood house, she’s never looked back.

an arranged marriage to an influential executive producer came in extremely handy for luciana. she was living in the city of stars, after all, and putting their fortunes together meant an even bigger one. all she had to do was play wife to one henry kline.

as her name got more and more known in the business, her father has attempted contact more than once, to no success ─ luciana still has no intentions on ever seeing the man again or listening to what he supposedly has to say. any reminder of her past life gets burned and pushed to the side.

personality-wise, she can be a bit ... Much, especially to those who don’t know or aren’t sure how to handle her. with a bit of a temper, she can be the type to ‘ shoot first, ask questions later ’, but that’s something she’s had to work on for the sake of her career if nothing else.

she’s got a mind of her own and she’s not afraid to speak her truth or to go after what she wants when she wants it. can be a bit proud too ─ everything she’s accomplished, she’s done so by herself, for herself, and she will remind someone of who they’re dealing with if she deems it necessary.

incredibly loyal though. really, if you get to that point with her, you’ll have a partner for life ... unless you screw her over, on which case you’ll see just how unforgiving she can be, too.
