Meet the Cast
Raquel Basco built an empire out of beauty and blood. Once a small-town nobody, she clawed her way into the spotlight through charm, scandal, and sheer audacity — turning betrayal into branding and heartbreak into headlines. Every diamond on her neck was earned twice: once through ambition, once through survival.
She made allies to use them, lovers to elevate her, and enemies to stay relevant. Her company, her image, her legacy — all carefully curated illusions. Beneath the gowns and cameras, Raquel was always calculating, always watching. She believed she could outsmart death the same way she outsmarted everyone else. Tonight, she finally miscalculated.
Scarlett Rose, the once-celebrated face of Pippingtons, insists she remains Raquel’s best friend despite the tension that lingers between them. She and Raquel both rose under Catherine’s mentorship, but Scarlett claims she left the brand due to “artistic differences.” The truth is murkier. She’s stunning, emotional, and thrives on attention—an actress in her own tragedy, desperate to stay relevant in a world that has already replaced her.
EDMUND EDWARD EDISON - The Butler
Edmund Edward Edison has served the elite for decades, but Raquel Basco was the only one he ever called friend. He managed her estates, her parties, her secrets — and perhaps, her conscience. To the guests, he’s just the butler; to Raquel, he was the architect of order in her chaotic world.
Now she’s dead, and Edmund has assumed a new role: investigator, judge, and executioner. Behind his courteous smile lies a cold determination — the game is his design, and justice for Raquel will be delivered, one truth at a time.
Dr. Krystal Vale is the polished psychologist who has made a name for herself among the wealthy elite. She’s known for her unconventional blend of therapy and spiritual energy work, promising to “remove blockages” from her clients’ lives. Her confidentiality is ironclad—or so she claims. Her poise is serene, but her words can cut. For all her calm, one suspects she understands far more about the darkness in this group than she lets on.
Lady Catherine Pembroke is the wealthiest among them all, a woman of power, poise, and legacy. She once stood as the pinnacle of high society until her engagement to Theo Crane ended in a public, humiliating disaster. Catherine is sharp, elegant, and intimidating, carrying herself like a queen who has been dethroned but still expects to be bowed to. She wields her fortune like a weapon and her reputation like armor, but behind her controlled smile lies a hunger for redemption and control.
Santiago DeLuca, Raquel’s former lover, is a striking but volatile man—a beautiful mess of vanity and emotion. Once a promising model, he now drifts through parties and scandals, often found with a drink in hand and a temper close behind. His affair with Scarlett Rose is well-known but poorly understood, its nature blurred between passion and revenge. Beneath his charm lies insecurity and obsession, and everyone knows he’s one heartbreak away from chaos.
Count Javier De Fontaine is a man of charm and deception, a self-proclaimed European noble whose accent drifts as fluidly as his allegiances. No one knows where his title came from or what country he calls home, only that those who deal with him often find themselves tangled in whispers of smuggling and the black market. He glides through rooms like smoke—elegant, persuasive, and impossible to trust.
Magnolia Belle, the Southern wine heiress, is all charm and sugar-coated steel. Her family’s vineyard was once a legacy—now it’s partly owned by Pippingtons, thanks to a deal she made with Raquel. Now she performs her pain in couture, toasting her own tragedy with imported champagne. Easily swayed by flattery and dazzled by money, Magnolia is the life of the party, as long as she is the center of attention. Behind the bright laughter and blinding jewelry is a woman who keeps score — and hides more skeletons than barrels in her cellar. Everyone calls her dramatic. Magnolia prefers “iconic.”
Alexander Ward is the writer behind “The Heiress Complex,” Raquel’s unauthorized biography that lifted the veil on her life and inner circle. His polished demeanor conceals a mind always working, always recording. Having spent months observing Raquel and her world, Alexander knows more about everyone at this dinner than they would ever willingly confess. He smiles, he listens, and somewhere behind those eyes, he’s still writing.
Theo Crane, a stoic and wealthy investor, has funded many of those seated at the table tonight. He once humiliated Catherine publicly by ending their engagement in front of her peers, and though he carries himself with quiet restraint, his power is felt by all. Theo’s fortune and calm demeanor hide darker associations; no one truly knows what kinds of ventures or dealings he’s involved in behind closed doors.
Detective Drew Stone is an enigma among them—a private investigator who moves easily through the upper echelons of society. He’s worked for Magnolia’s family, for Raquel, and for other powerful names whose business remains unspoken. He doesn’t follow rules, only results, and while he keeps a polite distance, his eyes see everything. There’s something calculating about him, as if every interaction is both a question and an answer.
