Isla is the eldest daughter of Santiago and Beatriz Alvarez, older sister to Ines Alvarez, and the expected future CEO of Almaza, her family’s luxury tequila brand.
Raised with a deep awareness of her family’s history, Isla takes the Alvarez legacy seriously. She grew up hearing stories of her grandparents’ hard work, sacrifice, and ambition, and she carries that pride with her into almost everything she does.
Isla works across strategy and operations at Almaza, though in reality she often takes on far more than her role requires. She involves herself in events, partnerships, expansion plans, internal decisions, brand direction, and any issue she feels might reflect on the family.
Her dedication comes from pride, but also pressure. Isla knows that one day she is expected to lead Almaza, and she is determined to prove she can make her family proud.
She likes the finer things in life and enjoys the success her family has built, but she has never been afraid of the work behind it. To Isla, luxury means very little if it has not been earned, protected, and sustained.
Isla was briefly married to an actor, a relationship that ended in divorce. She has a three-year-old son, Tobias, with whom she shares custody with her ex-husband. Though Tobias is the centre of her world, Isla avoids speaking about her ex by name whenever possible. The marriage is something she considers a personal failure, a mark against the perfect image she has always tried to maintain.
Difficult, stubborn, and outspoken, Isla is not someone who softens herself easily. She can be blunt, strict, bossy, emotionally led, and narrow-minded when she believes she is right. Like her mother, Isla feels things intensely. Unlike Beatriz, she often tries to package that emotion as control, decisiveness, or practicality.
She is close to Ines, but their relationship can be complicated. Isla loves her sister fiercely, yet her concern often turns into lectures, especially when Ines seems aimless, reckless, or too willing to drift away.
Isla is currently working with Theo Baumann through Almaza’s relationship with Zenith Capital Management. She understands how beneficial a strong connection with Zenith could be, especially as the Alvarez family continues to move further into elite social and business circles.
For Isla, managing the Zenith connection well is not just a business opportunity. It is proof that she can help Almaza grow, strengthen the family’s reputation, and secure a future worthy of everything her family built.
Theo complicates that carefully managed ambition. Isla and Theo recently slept together, crossing a line she knows should never have been crossed. If it became known, Isla fears it would diminish her reputation, embarrass her professionally, and make her look careless in a relationship she was supposed to be managing.
Since then, their dynamic has become strange, hot and cold, too personal to be professional and too guarded to be honest. They circle each other through meetings, messages, silences, and small acts of pettiness, always pretending there is less between them than there is.
Isla tells herself the closeness is strategic. Theo is useful, powerful, and connected, and his support could help open doors for Almaza. But the more emotional the push and pull becomes, the harder it is to pretend this is only about business.
Seraphina is the daughter of Tabitha Sinclair, Genevieve Westwood’s sister, making her cousin to Sebastian, Madisyn, and Isabella.
Based primarily in London, Seraphina works as a model and keeps a busy, highly social lifestyle that often keeps her moving between cities, shoots, events, and whatever has caught her attention that month.
She is not constantly involved in the Westwood family orbit, but she appears often enough to make an impression. Usually at dinners, parties, launches, holidays, or the kind of social occasions where her presence can either elevate the room or derail it entirely.
Seraphina is difficult, stubborn, and outspoken, with a bluntness that people either find refreshing or completely exhausting.
She has a reputation for being bratty, though Seraphina would argue that most people simply dislike women who say exactly what they mean.
She is especially good at arriving at the worst possible time, usually with no warning, too much luggage, and absolutely no intention of making anyone’s life easier.
Bunny is often the easiest person for Seraphina to distract. Whether intentionally or not, she has a habit of pulling Bunny into nights out, impulsive plans, bad ideas, and social chaos just when everyone else is trying to get Bunny to behave.
Seraphina is not malicious, but she is disruptive. She brings glamour, attitude, and trouble with her, then usually leaves before anyone can make her deal with the consequences.
Gen was born into the Sinclair family, a wealthy and well connected London family known for their ties to the arts, philanthropy, and old social circles. Though her life eventually rooted itself in New York, Gen has always carried a distinctly British sense of taste, humour, and social ease.
She met David Westwood in New York, and what began as a romance eventually became a shared life inside the Westwood world. Over time, Gen became increasingly entrenched in Westwood Group, the family’s hotel and real estate empire, building both a marriage and a role within the business.
Gen and David went on to have three children: twins Sebastian and Madisyn, followed a few years later by Isabella. For the most part, their marriage was happy, even if distance crept in over time as work, responsibility, and separate lives began to take up more space.
Five years ago, everything collapsed. David died by suicide, presumably because he knew what was coming next: a major scandal involving tax evasion, hidden affairs, and years of secrets that left the Westwood name exposed.
In the aftermath, Gen was forced to fight on every front. She had to protect her children, rebuild the family’s reputation, steady Westwood Group, and face legal disputes from other members of David’s family who saw an opportunity to challenge her control.
Ultimately, Gen won. She held the company, protected her position, and dragged the Westwoods back into stability but it came at a cost she rarely lets anyone see.
To most people, Gen is fun-loving, outgoing, socially magnetic, and a little eccentric. She has a gift for capturing attention and holding it, making people feel as if they are part of something intimate even in the middle of a crowded room.
Beneath the charm, she is sharp, observant, witty, and extremely savvy. Gen notices far more than she lets on, and years of scandal, grief, and corporate warfare have made her careful about who she trusts.
She adores her children fiercely, but David’s death and betrayal left her with a quiet paranoia about how quickly the rug can be pulled from under them. Stability, to Gen, is no longer something she takes for granted.
With Sebastian, Gen sees both potential and restlessness. She knows he is capable and charismatic, but she also senses how trapped he can feel by the future being built around him.
With Madisyn, Gen sees competence, control, and a daughter who often carries more than she admits. She trusts Madisyn deeply, though that trust can unintentionally become another form of pressure.
With Bunny, Gen’s concern is more difficult to hide. She worries her youngest daughter may never truly know what to do with herself, and that Bunny’s appetite for chaos will eventually lead her somewhere Gen cannot protect her from.
Bunny’s relationship with Felix Ranstrom only sharpens that worry. Gen understands the appeal of him, perhaps more than she would like to admit, but she is wary of how intensely Felix and Bunny seem to enable each other.

Isla used to think of Evelyn Harcourt as something close to a social architect. A genius, really. Someone who could build a room the way other people built empires, placing bodies instead of bricks while knowing exactly which combinations would spark. Her dinners have never been just dinners. They are quiet transactions and opportunities dressed up in candlelight and good wine. Which is why Isla expected something useful tonight. Maybe someone new, someone worth her and her family's time.
Instead, she finds herself seated beside Oskar Ranstrom. Someone she already knows. Someone she already works with. The Alvarez Group and the Ranstroms have crossed paths too many times to count. Meetings, negotiations, strategies. And in many ways, they're business partners already. There's no leverage here and there's absolutely nothing to gain. Which makes the placement feel deliberate, because Isla knows that Evelyn doesn't ever make mistakes. So either it's a message, or it's a test. She hasn't decided which irritates her more.
It's not that she dislikes Oskar, far from it, actually. He's competent, which already puts him ahead of most people in rooms like this. But he's also exactly what he's always been. Measured, contained, almost aggressively controlled. Hardly the kind of person you enjoy yourself with at a dinner party. Once, Isla told Ines he looked like he was holding in a continuous string of farts, and the assessment hasn't improved with time. Their conversation tonight has been brief. So painfully shallow that they should have just nodded at each other instead.
When his phone buzzes softly beside her, Isla's attention shifts, amusement flickering as she catches his eye. Evelyn's no-phone rule has never been a suggestion, it's practically a doctrine at this point which only makes it better. "I hope that's important, or I'm telling." she teases, voice low enough to stay between them. Isla lifts her glass next, hiding the grin stretching over her lips as she nods to the back of the room. "And next year you'll be over there. I've seen her do it to the Baumann's once."

"I just don't understand why it feels as if I should make an appointment just to see my own daughter." Gen says, a quiet note of amusement in her voice as she stands by the bay window, cup of tea in hand. For a moment, she watches the London traffic and the people moving with along the pavement with purpose against the cold. "I mean, trying to get hold of her during fashion week was impossible, but I knew better than to expect anything else. At least I knew she was with Madi. But she never texts me anything, Tabs, I can't keep up." she takes a quick sip and a soft laugh slips out. "I thought she was back from Paris, and now she's there again doing God knows what. And heaven forbid I ask about this boutique...it's some state secret, apparently."
Gen turns away from the window to cross the room, smoothing the hem of her shirt before settling into the sofa opposite Tabitha. "I suppose we didn't tell Mum much at their age either, did we." she sighs, setting the cup down on the coffee table. "I keep telling myself that it shouldn't bother me, but I think I'd mind it less if I actually saw her." an amused shrug follows, lighter now with less irritation and more resigned acceptance. "I asked if she wanted to help me with invitations for the fundraiser, and that's how I found out she only just left New York after getting back there."

Tyler spots Zizi the second she slips out of the main stretch of the resort, and it's like the rest of the place dulls a little just to make room for her. "Wow, you came?" he says, eyes trailing over her quickly. "You're looking fire." And she is, obviously. She always does. Curls falling down her back, gold in her skirt catching the light and making her skin glow. A whole goddess situation, honestly. Which would be less distracting if he didn't have very recent, very specific memories of her in his bed. Even if they were balanced out by equally recent other memories of her calling him the most annoying man alive.
Tyler still likes his odds. He stops in front of her, barely sparing a glance for the staff trailing behind him with more luggage than anyone needs, smiling like he's mid conversation instead of starting one. "What'd I miss? Well, apart from the party." he laughs easily before hitting his vape without thinking, exhaling an obnoxious cloud of vapor like he's about to do a magic trick. When it clears, he's still looking at her. "Didn't you say you'd kill me next time you saw me?" Tyler adds, pointing at her like he's just remembered something important. Amused, he glances around them. The palm trees, the peaceful quiet, the ocean. Some exotic bird call in the distance. His eyes flick back to Zizi with mischief right there on his face. "Nice of you to do it here, Zi. Killing me in paradise? You must love me, actually."

"…and it all started over revoking his membership. Which, apparently, warranted a full scale legal war because of a reserved table." Gen chuckles as she lifts her glass of white wine, taking a measured sip before continuing. "Mm, but you know what I've always said, darling. Nothing is ever just about the table." she glances at Isabella, one brow lifting slightly as her knowing smirk deepens. She knows Bunny won't care, though. She's made her peace with it. Mostly. Still, she can't help thinking that her daughter would have been simply dangerous in a courtroom.
It's a waste, really. But then, Bunny has never been particularly interested in being anything she doesn't feel like being. And truthfully, Genevieve adores her daughter for that. "That's what it's come to, anyway." she adds, lighter now and reaching for her fork. "Millions in legal fees over a seating arrangement." an incredulous laugh slips out from her, bright and quick. "Oh, speaking of speaking arrangements. Did you see the invitation from the Alvarezes?" she asks instead, as if the shift were inevitable. "The new resort in the Caribbean. I don't have the time, unfortunately. Which is a shame."
Gen frowns but it's not for long. She's already grinning again, wagging a brow at her daughter with a teasing mischief. "I suppose you and Felix will go?" it's not really a question. It doesn't have to be with them. There's always somewhere better for Felix and Bunny to be. Something that's always more interesting than work. Gen doesn't entirely disapprove. Not when they're young, rich and in love. Things that should be enjoyed, she thinks. "How is that situation with Madisyn and Seraphina, anyway?" she continues, almost as an afterthought. "What was it this time, something in Paris?" a faint smile returns. "Are they still there, or has it all...fizzled?"
A De Vere through and through, Tiberius grew up surrounded by art, auctions, and luxury, and has always fancied himself something of a creative in his own right.
Although he was born into a French family, most of his life has been spent in the United States, meaning his accent is usually faint. He does occasionally let it come out more strongly when he thinks it makes him sound more interesting.
Despite his full name, Tiberius almost never introduces himself that way and instead goes exclusively by Tyler or simply Ty.
He works loosely within the music industry as a producer and occasionally releases music himself, usually French rap.
Tyler has a reputation for knowing how to get into the best parties and tends to position himself as someone cooler and more culturally aware than the typical rich kid.
Despite that image, he is almost always dressed head to toe in expensive designer brands.
He has developed something of a soft spot for Zizi Kovacs, though committing to anything serious has proven difficult for him.
Personality
Easy to talk to and naturally sociable, Ty tends to treat almost everyone like a friend.
His mind moves constantly, jumping from one idea, project, or plan to the next.
Often drifts between ventures, parties, fashion events, and gallery openings with little sense of long term direction.
Generous to a fault and frequently picks up the bill or helps people out financially.
That generosity is sometimes taken advantage of, though he rarely seems bothered by it.
Lives a very indulgent lifestyle and enjoys partying, drinking, and occasionally taking drugs.
Currently spends much of his time with a vape in hand, to the point that he is almost constantly surrounded by a cloud of vapor.
Beneath the chaos he genuinely enjoys connecting with people and tends to approach the world with an open, friendly energy.

Genevieve Westwood was born and raised in London, into a long-established old money family whose name has been tied to luxury hospitality for generations.
The Westwood legacy began in the United Kingdom, building a reputation through exclusive country estates, private coastal retreats, and later expanding into high-end hotels and resorts across Europe. Over decades, the family cultivated a brand associated with discretion, prestige, and an understanding of elite clientele that few competitors could replicate.
Genevieve left the UK to study at Columbia University in New York, where she met her now ex-husband, David. During her time at university, she became pregnant with their first child, Sebastian, which forced her to temporarily step away from her studies.
The marriage, while outwardly polished, was largely shaped by expectation rather than genuine connection. By the time their second child, Isabella, was born, Genevieve had already begun to feel the weight of sacrificing her ambitions, and still occasionally reflects on how difficult it was to balance early motherhood with the life she had planned for herself.
She eventually returned to complete her degree and Genevieve shifted her focus back toward the family business. With a more global perspective and a sharper understanding of international markets, she played a key role in expanding Westwood operations into the United States.
Over time, Genevieve took full control of the company, becoming CEO of Westwood Resorts Group. Under her leadership, the brand has evolved beyond traditional resorts into curated lifestyle spaces, private memberships, and destination experiences tailored to ultra-high-net-worth clientele.
Westwood Resorts has become deeply embedded within elite social and business circles, frequently hosting high-profile events, private gatherings, and long-term clientele.
Genevieve divorced David while Sebastian and Isabella were still young.
These days, she rarely involves herself in day-to-day operations, instead focusing on expansion, partnerships, and maintaining the Westwood name as a dominant force within global luxury hospitality.
PERSONALITY
Lively and outwardly warm, often subverting expectations of what someone in her position should be.
Highly social and entirely at ease within elite environments, moving effortlessly between business and personal spaces.
Indulgent, with a clear appreciation for luxury, experience, and excess — not as novelty, but as standard.
Known to be fun, occasionally impulsive, and far more relaxed than her position might suggest.
Quick-witted, sharply intelligent, and extremely observant — rarely missing subtext in either conversation or negotiation.
Ruthless when required, fully capable of making difficult, high-stakes decisions without hesitation.
Carries a quiet, strategic cunning beneath her charm, making her far more calculated than she appears.
Deeply driven, with an ingrained sense of legacy and responsibility toward the family name.
A perfectionist at her core, even if it’s masked by her ease and charisma.
