Mr. Mitchell

The character of Mr. Mitchell feels so charismatic yet complex. I wonder what the author drew from real-life figures or imagination to craft him.

The chemistry was intense, but I was surprised by how fast everything moved. Was that a deliberate choice to heighten the stakes or just pacing?

It felt like money and status played a big role, but the emotional connection was just as central. Did anyone else find that contrast compelling or a bit conflicting?
