Lucas and Suzelle Chauvet are a wealthy couple living in Fort-De France. Lucas owns a successful advertising company, Sunrise Marketing. Suzelle inherited a large fortune from her father (Marc Bannais), who amassed great wealth through the sugar trade and retained it with wise investments. The couple has a 3 year old son, named Liam, and an unusual marriage.
Lucas is a well-known womanizer and philanderer. Although he tries to keep this discrete talk of his activities abound. Some rumors imply that Lucas fathered a child with his wife’s nurse, Audrey Delor. The nurse is unmarried and has a 2 year old daughter named Chloé who bears a strong resemblance Liam. Most assume Suzelle knows but turns a blind eye to her husband’s misdeeds.
While many people whisper behind the couple’s back they do nothing to socially ostracize them. The Chauvet’s are major underwriters to several charities in Port-Du-France. Because of their good public works most ignore the couple’s private life. That is until Lucas Chauvet vanished.
Lucas has been missing for three days now, with no signs of kidnapping or foul play. No money was removed from the couple’s bank accounts so the authorities don’t suspect Lucas has run out on his wife. Most suspect him to have met with a dark end, possibly from a jealous husband or angry lover. A few whisper that his wife may have finally had enough and taken drastic actions to escape what could only be a humiliating marriage. The police don’t seem to be taking the matter too seriously, much to the chagrin of Suzelle Chauvet. She hires her own investigators to find her husband, and dispel rumors that she may be involved in his disappearance.
