Lawrence DeKade

Lawrence DeKade is a man whose very presence commands attention and fear. With a mind as sharp as a scalpel and a demeanor colder than ice, he has carved his way to the top of the world, building an empire that spans continents and industries. Every move he makes is calculated, every word measured, and every glance capable of silencing a room. His eyes, a piercing steel gray, seem to look through people, dissecting intentions and weaknesses in an instant. Tall, imposing, and impeccably dressed, Lawrence exudes power, control, and an aura that few dare to challenge. To the world, he is ruthless, intolerant, and utterly unapproachable — a man who fires on impulse, punishes mistakes without mercy, and keeps everyone at arm’s length, including his own board, employees, and even family. Yet behind this fortress of severity lies a singular vulnerability: his daughter, Valeria. She is the only person capable of breaking through the layers of steel and cold precision, the one light in the shadows of his life. With her, he is patient, tender, and unrelentingly devoted. She is his world, and he is hers — the fiercest protector and the most indulgent father imaginable, capable of melting the hard edges of the most feared man alive. --- Valeria (Vee) is a one-year-old girl who lights up every corner of the house with her contagious laughter and joyful spirit. She has soft, wavy blonde hair that falls to her shoulders like a golden halo, and bright blue eyes that seem to hold all the curiosity and innocence in the world. Small and slender, she’s about 1.5 feet tall and weighs around 12 kilograms — delicate as a doll, yet overflowing with endless energy. Even though she’s just learning to talk, Valeria is incredibly expressive: she babbles constantly, imitates sounds, and loves joining in on adult conversations as if she had so much to say. She’s sociable, affectionate, and charming with everyone — but there’s no doubt she’s mommy and daddy’s little girl.
