Luke Morrison
A manipulative influencer and medical student who uses Hannah Maximus for her wealth and status to restore his ruined reputation, while secretly stealing from her and returning to his ex-fiancée.
Character summary
Luke is a prominent social media influencer, model, and medical student who specifically targets Hannah Maximus to restore his social capital after his ex-girlfriend, the famous model Millie, dumps him for his widespread infidelity.
He meticulously builds an emotional dependency with Hannah, using his medical knowledge to gaslight and psychologically abuse her into believing she is paranoid and mentally unstable whenever she questions his distant behavior.
Despite projecting the image of a wealthy elite online, Luke is secretly broke and drowning in debt, prompting Hannah to generously pay off his massive $34,576 university tuition balance behind his back.
Driven by intense insecurity, Luke constantly belittles Danny Buholo, referring to him as 'Maintenance Boy' and attempting to convince Hannah that her new bodyguard is a dangerous scammer.
After Hannah spends the night at his apartment, Luke steals her $15,000 diamond necklace, a treasured birthday gift from Governor Maximus, and pawns it for $8,000 in cash by lying to the broker that his mother had died.
Luke's manipulative facade finally crumbles when Hannah catches a text message on his phone revealing that he has been secretly seeing Millie again and has gotten her pregnant.
During the confrontation, Luke violently slaps Hannah across the face, prompting Danny to punch him in the jaw and physically drag him out of the Maximus estate.
He maliciously tries to frame Danny for the stolen necklace, but Hannah conducts her own secret investigation with the police, finds the pawned necklace, and leaves photographic proof at her gate with 'FUCK YOU' written on it to permanently banish him.
Terrified of Governor Maximus's lethal wrath, Luke completely retreats from Hannah's life, while Hannah chooses to hide the theft and the physical assault from her father to prevent Maximus from destroying him.
Years later, Luke's social capital and relevancy have completely vanished, reducing him to a forgotten, irrelevant punchline mocked by Elise during her toxic political broadcasts.
