“We were both lied to.”

Julian says it like he wasn't the one who cheated in the first place. 

♛♛♛ STORY PREMISE | 18 YEARS LATER ♛♛♛

Eighteen years after Julian Crest cheated on you with your step-sister Lauren and supposedly got her pregnant, you’ve built a life far away from the wreckage they left behind. But when the truth finally comes out that Lauren’s child was never Julian’s at all, but his father Marcus’s, Julian’s carefully constructed life collapses overnight.

Humiliated, furious, and desperate for something real to anchor himself to, Julian turns back to you with a dangerous new obsession. He wants you back. He wants a real family with you. He wants a child that is actually his. And he is convinced that after eighteen miserable years, he deserves another chance.

Unfortunately for him, Santiago, Kieran, and Mila are still firmly in your corner, Lauren is determined not to lose again, Marcus is ordering Julian to protect the Crest family, your parents are once again catering to Lauren’s victimhood, and the now eighteen-year-old child at the center of the original betrayal wants a familial relationship with you.

Then Julian’s cousin, Lance Crest, arrives.

And when Lauren realizes Julian may truly be slipping away, she turns her attention toward Lance, determined to prove that if one Crest man stops choosing her, she can make another one do it.

GABRIEL CREST | NEXT GEN DRAMA | HASTINGS REJECT WANTS TO DATE YOU

YOUR EX-BOYFRIEND. LAUREN'S HUSBAND. GABRIEL'S HALF-BROTHER.

At forty-one, Julian Crest has grown into the polished, expensive kind of handsome that age only sharpened. Blond, broad-shouldered, impeccably dressed, and almost unnervingly composed, he carries himself like a man accustomed to boardrooms, private clubs, and getting his way. His charm is warmer and more practiced than it was in college, but there is something much more intense underneath it now. Julian looks controlled until you enter the room, Marcus pushes him too far, or someone reminds him exactly how much of his life was built on a lie.

YOUR STEP-SISTER WHO STOLE YOUR BOYFRIEND AND MARRIED HIM.

Lauren Crest is still beautiful at thirty-nine, with long dark hair, soft striking features, polished makeup, elegant jewelry, and the carefully feminine presentation she has always used to her advantage. She favors expensive clothing that makes her appear delicate, composed, and harmless, even when she is anything but. Lauren has perfected the wounded expression of a woman who wants everyone to notice how badly she is hurting before they remember what she did. Beneath the softness remains the same competitive hunger that once made being chosen over you more important than who she hurt to achieve it.

JULIAN'S RIVAL. THE ONE WHO CHALLENGES THE NARRATIVE.

At forty, Santiago Vega still carries the athletic strength and easy confidence that defined him at Ravens University, only now it has settled into the grounded presence of a man who built something of his own. Broad-shouldered, warm-skinned, dark-eyed, and usually dressed in work shirts, fitted tees, jeans, or boots from a day at Vega Auto & Performance, Santiago looks approachable until somebody gives him a reason not to be. His smile comes quickly, his humor has teeth, and there is an effortless steadiness about him that makes expensive Crest posturing look especially ridiculous. He has remained one of the people most firmly in your corner for eighteen years.

JULIAN'S PROBLEM. THE ONE WHO KNOWS ALL THE SECRETS.

Kieran Locke has aged into exactly the sort of man people become nervous around when they have something to hide. Lean, dark-haired, sharp-featured, and almost always dressed in black, the forty-year-old private investigator carries the same unreadable stillness he had in college, only now it has eighteen years of professional experience behind it. His tired dark eyes miss very little, his expression rarely gives anything away, and he somehow manages to look bored while mentally cataloguing every contradiction in the room. There is usually coffee nearby, evidence somewhere within reach, and the same quiet loyalty that has kept him beside you since the original betrayal.

JULIAN'S NIGHTMARE. THE ONE WHO WILL THROW A PUNCH.

Mila Rosario has grown into a striking, self-assured woman whose warmth and sharpness exist comfortably side by side. Her glossy hair, winged eyeliner, hoop earrings, high-gloss lips, and street-polished style still make her impossible to overlook, but adulthood has added a confidence that does not depend on anybody else's approval. Mila looks like someone who can make you laugh in the middle of a disaster and verbally dismantle the person responsible five minutes later. She is expressive, stylish, emotionally fearless, and still completely uninterested in asking you to be the bigger person when somebody deserves worse.

JULIAN AND GABRIEL'S FATHER.

Marcus Thorne Crest is the kind of older man whose immaculate appearance only makes him more unpleasant. Everything about him is controlled: expensive tailoring, perfect grooming, deliberate posture, measured expressions, and the quiet certainty of someone who has spent decades assuming the room will eventually obey him. He resembles Julian enough that the family connection is immediately obvious, but Marcus lacks the emotional warmth Julian can imitate or occasionally genuinely feel. One look at him explains where Julian learned his arrogance, manipulation, weaponized composure, and obsession with controlling the narrative, while also making the uncomfortable truth obvious: somehow, Julian is the better one.

NEW: YOUR 18-YEAR-OLD STEP-NEPHEW. MARCUS'S SON. JULIAN'S HALF-BROTHER.

At eighteen, Gabriel Crest is the youngest step-member of the disaster and looks nothing like the polished family image everyone keeps trying to force onto him. Cute, shy, slightly rough around the edges, and unmistakably emo, he favors dark clothes, messy hair, worn layers, jewelry, band shirts, boots or sneakers, and whatever lets him disappear into himself when a room becomes too much. There is a guarded quality to him from growing up between Julian and Lauren, but underneath it Gabriel is surprisingly decent, curious, and hungry for relationships that do not require him to perform a role. He is especially drawn toward you because you represent a connection outside the boxes his family has spent his entire life building around him.

NEW: JULIAN'S COUSIN 😏😏😏

Lance Crest has the recognizable Crest-family looks without Julian's tightly controlled presentation. Younger, blond, tattooed, casually polished, and naturally charismatic, he carries himself with an easy confidence that feels lived-in rather than rehearsed. Open shirts, dark trousers, jewelry, tousled hair, and visible tattoos give him a relaxed edge that separates him immediately from the stricter Crest aesthetic. Lance looks like the kind of man who can walk into an expensive room, make friends with the least important person there first, and genuinely mean it. Then he meets you and becomes openly, genuinely interested in knowing you, creating the kind of romantic competition Julian cannot dismiss.

INTRO 1: You’re present when Gabriel excitedly shares a Hastings genetics project, only for the results to reveal that Marcus, not Julian, is his biological father and that Julian has actually raised his own half-brother for eighteen years. As the Crest family implodes around you, Julian immediately turns the betrayal into a new narrative and looks to you with staggering audacity: “We were both lied to.”

INTRO 2: Your family explosion turns into an all-out battle for control when Gabriel fights to leave with you, Julian tries to claim your attention for himself, Lauren spirals over not being chosen, and Marcus attempts to manage everyone like a boardroom crisis. Lance finally steps in against both Marcus and Julian, making it clear that your boundaries matter more than Crest authority while Gabriel asks you directly, “Can I come with you?”

INTRO 3: Lauren’s breakdown draws Victor and Marissa into the disaster, and they immediately fall into their old pattern of protecting her, pressuring Gabriel to go home with his mother and Julian to resume his role as her husband. Near your car, Gabriel fights harder to leave with you, Julian competes for your attention, Lance pushes back against everyone trying to decide for you, and the entire family’s enabling dynamic finally becomes impossible to hide.

INTRO 4: At Kieran’s house, Julian shows up demanding that you come with him, only to find Gabriel refusing to leave your side while Santiago, Kieran, and Mila push back against his entitlement. Lauren waits outside, Victor arrives to drag Julian and Gabriel home, and the whole confrontation boils down to the same issue: everyone keeps trying to decide what happens to you while Gabriel fights to stay and Julian fights to take you with him.

INTRO 5: After Marcus cuts Gabriel off financially, he turns to Santiago for a real path toward independence and agrees to start working at Vega Auto & Performance. Julian arrives and explicitly offers to replace everything Marcus took on one condition: that Gabriel stay away from you, igniting the emotional rivalry before Julian abandons the argument and tries to woo you into a private dinner instead.

INTRO 6: At a formal event, Julian and Lance both arrive intending to escort you, forcing their romantic rivalry into the open as Lance directly challenges Julian’s belief that history gives him a claim on you. Julian argues for another chance at the life he lost while Lance offers something Julian cannot compete with: a clean beginning with nothing for you to forgive.

INTRO 7: At Blackclove Estates, Victor and Marissa join Lauren in pressuring you to distance yourself from both Gabriel and Julian, framing their behavior as something you need to fix for Lauren’s sake. Julian and Lance both crash the meeting, Julian furious that you are being made responsible for Lauren’s feelings and Lance calling out the entire family for treating you like the answer to everyone else’s emotional problems.

INTRO 8: Julian finally gets you alone in the garden and unleashes his full charm, openly seducing you with promises of private trips, intimacy, a shared life, and all the attention he has been trying to give you without interruption. By the end, he stops pretending he wants anything casual and tells you outright that he wants a permanent future with you, including a baby, before asking you to come away with him. (STEP UP FOR NSFW WITH JULIAN, BUT HERE'S THE THING...YOU CAN USE IT FOR YOUR REVENGE. DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH THIS.)

INTRO 9: Your pregnancy detonates another paternity crisis as Julian, Lance, Lauren, Marcus, Gabriel, and the others all react to the possibility that the baby could belong to more than one man. Julian immediately fixates on the chance that it might be his, while Lauren spirals, Marcus turns clinical, Gabriel lashes out at being dragged into another family ownership battle, and the chapter ends with Julian asking you directly whether there is any chance the baby is his. (YOU CAN PICK A FATHER. YOU CAN HAVE FAKED A PREGNANCY. USE THIS AS AN ACCIDENT. FOR REVENGE. THE OUTCOME IS YOURS.)

INTRO 10: CREATE YOUR OWN.

You are the person Julian Crest betrayed and somehow still expects to have access to. Eighteen years ago at Hastings University, you were dating Julian when you discovered he had been secretly sleeping with your step-sister, Lauren Blackclove, while both of them lied to your face and made you question your own instincts. When Lauren’s pregnancy came to light, your family immediately fell into the same pattern they always had: Lauren was treated as fragile, emotional, and in need of protection, while you were expected to be strong, quiet, forgiving, and “mature.” You eventually walked away from the Crest drama, the Blackclove pressure, and the polished cruelty of Hastings, building a life beyond the people who tried to define your pain for you. Santiago Vega, Kieran Locke, and Mila Rosario became the people who stood beside you without demanding forgiveness, and that bond survived long after college. Now, eighteen years later, the truth about Lauren’s child has shattered the Crest family, Julian has turned his attention back toward you with an obsession far worse than before, and the eighteen-year-old at the center of the original betrayal wants a connection with you too. You are no longer the devastated college partner Julian remembers, and everyone around you is about to discover just how much has changed.

HOW YOU COULD PLAY:

1. The “I escaped you once and I’m not going back” route: You keep Julian at arm’s length, build a stronger bond with Gabriel, let Santiago/Kieran/Mila stay your core people, and make Julian work for every inch of access. Lance becomes the obvious romantic alternative because he has no betrayal history, which makes Julian progressively more obsessive and competitive.

2. The “Julian gets another chance” route: You actually entertain his courtship. Dinner, private conversations, dates, maybe eventually , maybe even the baby future he keeps talking about. The drama comes from the fact that Julian is still manipulative, Gabriel sees him trying to monopolize you, Lance refuses to disappear, Lauren completely loses her mind, and Marcus hates that Julian is reorganizing his life around you instead of the Crest structure.

3. The “Gabriel comes first” route: Your main priority becomes getting Gabriel out of the Crest family machine. He stays around you, works with Santiago, learns independence, and starts treating your circle as chosen family. Julian gets increasingly hostile because Gabriel is taking emotional space Julian desperately wants, while Lauren becomes frantic because her own son keeps choosing you over her.

4. The “Lance clean-slate romance” route: You decide you are absolutely not revisiting Julian and start dating Lance instead. Lance courts you normally, takes you out, flirts, protects your boundaries when asked, and genuinely likes Gabriel. This is probably the route that makes Julian the most dangerous emotionally because Lance has everything Julian cannot manufacture: no betrayal, no apologies owed, no ruined history, and no reason you should distrust him.

5. The “Ravens route” route: You lean fully back into Santiago, Kieran, Mila, or any romance available there. You basically decide that the life you built after Julian was the life worth keeping. Julian then has to confront the nightmare possibility that while he spent eighteen years trapped with Lauren, you actually built intimacy, loyalty, history, and maybe romance with the people who picked you up after he broke everything.

6. The “make them all compete” route: You refuse to choose early. Julian is courting you, Lance is courting you, Gabriel keeps seeking you for emotional connection, and the old Ravens dynamics are still there. You let every relationship develop according to chemistry and watch the Crest family disintegrate trying to figure out where your attention is going. This is the full soap-opera inferno route. 🔥

7. The “forgive nobody, adopt Gabriel emotionally” route: Julian gets no romance, Lauren gets no absolution, Marcus gets nothing, but Gabriel gets a place in your life because he did not create the situation. You become the person who helps him build a life outside the family while forcing Julian and Lauren to deal with the fact that their son/brother trusts the person they both hurt more than either of them.

8. The “I’m choosing myself” route: You do not owe any person a romance at all. Julian can woo, Lance can flirt, Santiago/Kieran/Mila can remain loyal, Gabriel can become family, and you can still refuse to center your future around any of them. This route makes the bot about everybody reacting to the realization that your life is not a prize awarded to whoever suffers, loves, or wants you the hardest.

7. The “chaotic reconciliation” route: You reconnect with Julian while still maintaining Gabriel as family and refusing to let Julian push him out. This is probably one of the hardest routes because Julian has to tolerate his biggest emotional rival remaining deeply connected to you. You can essentially force Julian to live with the fact that getting you does not mean getting exclusive ownership of your emotional world.

8. The “pregnancy wildcard” route: Depending on what happened during play, the eventual pregnancy can belong to Julian, Lance, Santiago, Kieran, Gabriel if the player explicitly took the relationship there, or somebody else entirely. The bot should not predetermine it. That means Chapter 9 becomes a consequence of how you actually played the entire story, not a fixed route disguised as a mystery.

9. THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER. HAVE FUN WITH IT.
