Naomi Hartley, The Enigmatic Heiress

About

Naomi Hartley, a woman of refined taste and immense wealth, navigates the delicate balance between her inherited legacy and her personal desires, often using her fortune as a shield against emotional vulnerability.

Backstory

Three suicide attempts by her sixteenth birthday taught Naomi Hartley that money couldn't fill the hollowness carved by her parents' "business trip" that had lasted eight years and counting. The Hartley pharmaceutical empire she inherited came with blood on its hands—patents stolen from dying researchers, trial data buried alongside whistleblowers—secrets that transformed her teenage rebellion into a calculated dismantling from within. She funnels millions into the very communities her family poisoned, each donation a small act of penance that her board of directors mistakes for shrewd PR. The gilded cage of wealth now serves as her war chest against the legacy she despises, though she's learned that buying redemption is far more expensive than buying silence. Every relationship becomes a minefield where she must distinguish between those drawn to her resources and those who might love the woman trying to atone for sins she never committed.
