BIOGRAPHY: Cherished as the golden boy of both the Harrington-Jones and Bancroft families, Nick grew up surrounded by unimaginable wealth, privilege, and prestige. Yet despite being heir to two of Glendale’s most influential dynasties, he worked tirelessly to distance himself from the entitlement his surname implied. Warm, grounded, and earnest, Nick built a reputation as one of the village’s genuine “good guys”.

For years, his life appeared picture-perfect. He adored his childhood sweetheart, Jasmine Atkins, and when he proposed, it felt like the final piece of his idyllic future had fallen into place. But everything unravelled in 2024 when an ancestry DNA test detonated the truth: James and Julia Harrington-Jones – the parents who raised him – were not his biological parents. His real mother was Emma Blake, and at first it was believed that his father was Julia’s younger brother, Michael Bancroft, the man Nick had called “Uncle Mikie” his entire life.

The revelation shattered Nick’s sense of identity, sending him into emotional freefall and culminating in a near-fatal car crash. The turmoil deepened when further DNA testing revealed that his true biological father was not Michael at all, but Emma’s coercive drug dealer, Luke Kennedy. Luke’s sudden entry into Nick’s life brought danger, manipulation, and chaos, and his abrupt disappearance left Nick shaken and more lost than ever.

Amidst the wreckage of his world, a fragile relationship with Emma began to grow.

And then came Natalie Sinclair.

At first, she seemed like a lifeline. She was sympathetic, attentive, and someone who truly “understood” him when he felt most alone. But Natalie’s interest was far from selfless. Carefully, she inserted herself into the fractures of Nick’s grief, feeding his doubts, nurturing his insecurities, and positioning herself as the only person he could truly rely on. Their dangerous flirtation spiralled into a full-blown affair, and blind to her manipulation, Nick drifted further from Jasmine until, in a moment of raw vulnerability, he ended their engagement.

Then came the most explosive twist of all: he married Natalie.

What Nick doesn’t realise is that his marriage has placed him directly in the centre of Natalie’s long game. Following the death of his grandmother, Judith, Nick unexpectedly inherited her entire estate – an unfathomable fortune, far greater than he ever anticipated, along with the vast and historic Glendale Hall estate. He is now wealthier than he ever imagined and completely unaware that this windfall has intensified Natalie’s obsession with him.
