" remind my dumb ass to never let you talk me into bottomless brunch on a thursday ever again , " dainty limbs submerging into the plush couch . the blame never fully on talia but it would be out of character for the blonde to ever take on any blame herself . " seriously , who gets a hangover at this time ... what am i a fifty year old mother of two ? "
clearing her throat as tanned legs guide her across the event space . " your collar , " she notes , and without much permission she's already fixing it for him . not that , in her mind , she'd need such permission . palms lightly patting at his chest , " there " monotone voice encapsulating the space between them . " tragic . you'd look like a trainwreck without me , " shake of her head , as she eyes the open bar off to the other end of the room . the public could think whatever they'd like , a notion that you couldn't be friends with exes entirely out the window when it came to nicolas and taryn . too much love and trust still remaining , even when they both knew they weren't meant for one another ( atleast not with the way either of their lives were set up ) . " a glass of bubbly is calling my name , what do you say ? "

𝙵𝙸𝙻𝙴 : background . . . access granted .
born in athens , greece , the only daughter to the famed vogel family , who got their billions from owning & operating a massive hotel & resort chain , vogel hotels & resorts ( the #1 luxury hotel company worldwide ) . her father the ceo of the company , and her mother a famed socialite and largest principal shareholder of l'oreal .
taryn was born with a diamond spoon in her mouth , always having everything a girl could ever want . and , boy did she take advantage of that . happily indulging in a life of luxury the second tiny toddler hands got a grasp of the leather handle of her first baby birkin bag .
her life was a series of people hired specifically to care for herself & her brother – from nannies , chefs , butlers back home in neuilly - sur - seine , france & handlers who would accompany the siblings to meet their parents at various business offices worldwide via the siblings own private jet at the time . there's no true sob story here about neglectful parents : although her mother & father were incredibly business - oriented , they still made plenty of time for their children . taryn could often be found in a l'oreal office , feet swinging as she stuffed her face with her favorite macaroons while her mother took care of business calls . the vogel children were spoiled – rotten . no one spoiled them more than their mother : extensive shopping trips , luxury dining , front row seats at fashion week , and trips to the most exclusive islands in the world .
not your average heiress , no , taryn was filled with ambition . wanting to make a name for herself . filled with pride of who her mother & father were and the success that followed them . by the time she was of age she found herself at a loss though – all the ambition in the world but no clear direction . with no true path highlighted , she was urged to further her education . four years spent in the states until she was deemed a stanford university alumni , obtaining a bachelors degree in business . it would soon be looked at as a waste .
finding her purpose just at the tail end of her academic career . call her daddy : started off as a podcast and quickly evolved into a global movement . taryn vogel bulldozed a lane ( alongside her college best friend ) of her own , spitting in the face of misogyny and putting a modern twist on feminism . a solid three years with her co - host , until their relationship deteriorated and as the claims go taryn stole the podcast right from under her best friend . going solo , she painted herself as the hero of the story thanks to the continued access to the audience after she'd iced her friend out . she'd be the first to say , in the last two years she's brought the show to new heights & the #2 ranking worldwide across all categories would aid to backing her sentiment . praised by time magazine as " arguably the most sucessful woman in podcasting " .
her rise doesn't fizzle there , though . in 2021 , she was named the sole heir to her mother's principal share of the cosmetic company , l'oreal . the same shares that have placed her mother in the position as the richest woman in the world – a title that will one day belong to taryn .
while at the surface taryn may come off aloof and shallow : it's a tactic for self preservation . never wanting to feel as if someone has anything over her , she doesn't fair well with other's having control ( especially over her in anyway ) and so she strives to instead hold all the control herself . never wanting to feel vulnerable . while she tries to remain gracious in most cases , especially in public , if a circumstance arises where she feels her own power slipping this is normally when you'll catch her acting out of character : tantrums , vile words slung around simply to inflict some sort of pain to her opposition , and so on . an obsessive overachiever with a shaky moral compass , which can lead her to be a bit careless with other's and their feelings as a whole . on the flip side , she is by no means all bad – a guarded heart of gold is awarded to those she deems worthy of it . incredibly kind to those she considers loved ones & those are the select group that get frequent glimpses at just how spirited and loyal she really can be . a giver to her core , her love language is gifting . you'll rarely hear the words " i love you " from her because words have no meaning in her eyes without something to back it , something tangible . with age , taryn has grown more into herself : she's not afraid to be a little vulgar ( as displayed on her podcast ) and is happy to fall into the roll of a more modern woman , with an overall modern twist on the form of feminism to claims . she doesn't believe in tearing other woman down ( unless they've wronged her , perhaps a bit hypocritical at times ) but she also doesn't hold much value in words – if you're offended , in her eyes , perhaps that says more about you than her .
𝙲𝙾𝙽𝙽𝙴𝙲𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽𝚂 :
ex co - host , they were best friends since college ( went to stanford univeristy ) and soon after graduating they started the podcast call her daddy . they did absolutely everything together , even outside of the podcast . they had a solid three year run before things started to breakdown . we can decide what really transpired behind the scenes to ruin both their work and personal relationship but the overall idea is that whatever happened led taryn to basically steal the podcast out from under them . they haven't spoken in nearly two years .
jolene ( beyonce's version ) , taryn is jolene in this situation . this person's boyfriend / husband tells taryn one thing & tells them another , which has made for a rather tense series of interations , and taryn won't quit going after him unless he tells her to stop which he has yet to do .
#quad , your typical socialite girl group . they hang out regularly , support one another's business ventures , are constantly vacationing together , and are harassed by paparazzi whenever they're together . looking for three girls taryn considers her closest friends .
ex fiance , they got engaged after only a year of dating , breaking off their engagment at the beginning of this year . she loved him but everyone around them could see how toxic they were – two people who were simply never meant to be together & brought out the absolute worst in eachother . despite this , they still find themselves rekindling every once and a while because they can't quite let got of eachother fully .
brother , can be younger or older ( just no more than a four year age gap ) . he is the heir to their father's company vogel hotels & resorts , although what he does for a career currently is entirely up to you . they've been close all their lives – literally one another's absolute best friends in the world , to the point were more often than not if you see one the other isn't too far behind .

in 1990 the country home of eaton hall would welcome a new resident , lord cameron astley - benefield , the eldest child of the aristocratic astley - benefield family . his father was the 6th duke of westminster and the ceo of astley group limited ( an international real estate company ) , and his mother was a politician turned philanthropist later in life .
there is no luxury that compares to the one in which he was brought up in : the godson of the king , he was set up for success from the the day he was born . this did not make for an easy life , though , on the contrary – life as the heir apparent to dukedom meant following a slew of rules & always remembering , love was very much so conditional . to make one step out of line was not an option , and so he tucked his head & followed his parents lead with every step he took . the perfect picture of a little lord .
the veil only starting to slip when he left cheshire to attend eaton college . the first few years went by smoothly , sticking true to himself ( or atleast to who he'd always been told he should be ) . time away from home can muddy one's views though and soon enough the security that came with attending eaton transformed into an arrogant confidence that he could act out of character : the partying started , then sneaking girls onto campus grounds , alcohol & drugs soon following closely behind .
things only took a turn for the worse as he went on to university – much more lazy with hiding his antics . tabloids often having a field day , and the young lord found his face on several tabloids throughout the nation : " playboy lord cops a feel " , " drug lord of oxford " , and " cameron tosses copper coins at ' peasants ' on campus " , where only a few headlines that graced covers during his time at oxford univeristy . to say he was on the outs within his family would be an understatement , this was around the time the conditions to his parents love came into play . set himself straight or be stripped of everything ( title and claim to the company ) .
to many's surprise he graduated from oxford , leaving england soon after to lay low . taking up residence in new york city for five years . a necessary evil . during this time he joined the family business , working on the american end of it & it became clear rather quickly he had quite the knack ( be it charm ) to sell a property to just about anyone who would listen to him . slowly but surely finding his way back into his parents good graces – he was a reformed bad boy , american tabloids would claim whenever they could catch a glimpse of him . instead channeling his off color antics into business moves . he would do anything to sell a property , even if it meant screwing over someone else : it didn't matter who you were or what you had . all that mattered was cameron was the one to seal the deal . ruthless to the bitter end .
his run in america came to an end in 2017 , with him & his family surrounding his father's hospital bed . with such a great loss came even greater responsibility , now the 7th duke of westminster and the new ceo of astley group limited . this was the time to show the british people just how much of a changed man he was – but does a tiger ever truly change it's stripes ? the partying subsided , the illicit substances gone ( for the most part ) , but the playboy tag remained . a new woman every few months . scorned woman left at every corner of the world , and cameron was more or less left unphased . his focus solely on preforming his duties – to make his late father proud of what he could accomplish .
just years later all that focus was rewarded when cameron was deemed the united kingdoms richest millennial & appointed deputy lieutenant of chesire , a showing that he'd excelled in both the business and in the eyes of his godfather .
the last thing on a long list of changes that needed to be made from his teen years finally comes to fruition when the duke gets down on one knee . a conscious decision , in the eyes of the public , to be faithful to one woman – to get married ( to the perfect trophy wife , he'd claim ) .

the duality of cameron is one to be studied , on the surface he is charismatic and friendly – disarmingly so . the sort of guy you simply want around . overwhelmingly respectful and courteous at every turn ( especially if there are eyes on him ) but for the most part , if he's allowed you to know him well enough , you can see through it . it's all an act , much like most of his life : when he was younger he acted clean cut to appease his parents , as he grew into his own he acted out for global attention , and now he plays up the act of the honorable duke for the sake of business ventures . everything he does is done for one sole purpose – his own self interest . it's not about caring , it's about winning . there is a certain air he carries himself with some would call it arrogance , he prefers unwavering confidence . he knows when he walks into a room he is the grand prize . his loyalty is a fickle thing to most , outside of his family and country ( not the people in it , the actual country ) . his lack of care for other's shines when it comes to his forgetfulness , you could tell him your favorite color and five minutes later he'd have no clue . he'll claim he's far too busy & hardworking to fixate on mundane details but the truth is he's far more interested in what he has to say than anyone else , unless it's about him . despite his pit falls , there is no doubt there are pros to being in his orbit . cameron knows one speed and it's fast . . . very much so a proponent of work hard , play harder .
