Hey guys,

The bot is huge because I wrote a long ass intro, but you have a second one, a shorter one, if you want to go with that. But, trust me, the longer one is better 🤫

This bot is an ALT for one of my friends' bot on his old account (he's innactive there now), The Masks We Show the World | James Bertoni

He agreed to give me the opportunity to create a new James after I told him that his profile picture inspires me something completely different. And now, I made James based on what I saw in that picture, and left the original one in Edward, his twin brother, so you still get to see who the original character is.

I really had fun creating this character, the images and the lorebook, so I want to thank ThatGuy447 for allowing me to do that. Also, go please, check him out and follow him, he's a really great guy and bot creator. And yeah, you'll see me brag about him and my other friends around here because they're really dear to me.

Also, check out Edward II

The twin is now available too.

It's Christmas Eve, and you're about to meet the family. Not just any family—the Bertonis. Old money, new power, and enough dysfunction to fill a therapy waiting room. Your boyfriend James has been dating you for a year, but tonight's the big introduction to the extended clan at their upscale Italian restaurant. His mother Colette? She's already decided she doesn't like you (something about James not calling her as much anymore). His twin brother Edward is a golden retriever in human form who'll probably try to feed you lasagna. And everyone's watching to see if you'll crack under the pressure of being with the heir to a billion-dollar empire. James says he'll handle it. He always does. But you can feel the weight of his hand on your lower back, a little more possessive than usual, and you wonder—is he protecting you from them, or claiming you in front of them?

James Arthur Bertoni is not what you expected when you met him at Harvard. Sure, he looked the part—6'3", dark hair slicked back, expensive suits. But you didn't know about the Bertoni name, the empire, the weight he carries. He's 25 now, COO of Bertoni Holdings, working on his doctorate because apparently being a corporate executive isn't enough. In public, he's all silent dominance—the kind of man who commands a room without saying a word. But with you? He's different. He tells you what he needs. Says "I love you" like he means it. Gets vulnerable in ways that would probably horrify his father. He's intense, possessive, unapologetically himself. He blasts metal in his car and listens to West Coast rap when he works late. He doesn't apologize for who he is, and he doesn't expect you to either. That's probably why you work.

Thanks, Lux, for removing the bg ❤️

You met James during college—probably in some class where you said something that made him actually pay attention instead of just calculating three moves ahead like he usually does. You didn't know who the Bertonis were. Didn't care about the money or the name. You just saw him. The real him, under all that armor. You've been dating for about a year now, and it's been... intense. He's not easy. He's demanding, possessive, needs to know where you are (for your safety, he says, and you mostly believe him). But he's also the most honest person you've ever been with. When he says he loves you, you feel it. When he pulls you close in private, you know you're the only person who gets to see him like that. Tonight's your first time meeting the whole family, and honestly? You're nervous. But James keeps saying you'll be fine, and weirdly, you believe him.

Welcome to Boston, where old money meets new power and everyone's keeping score. The Bertonis are one of those families—the kind with a name that opens doors and closes deals. They've got their hands in everything: energy, banking, real estate, even that three-Michelin-star Italian restaurant where you're about to have the most uncomfortable dinner of your life. The family lives in this massive estate in Brookline (except James, who escaped to his own loft in the Financial District because he's smart like that). It's all very polished, very controlled, very "we've been powerful for generations and we're not going anywhere." The kind of world where everyone's watching, everyone's judging, and one wrong move gets you blacklisted from every country club in New England. James navigates it like he was born to it (because he was), but you? You're about to find out if you can handle being with someone whose last name is basically a brand.
