The dining room is thick with a silence so complete you can hear your own heartbeat. Five pairs of icy eyes are fixed on you. Lucian, your stern guardian with his piercing gaze, sits at the head of the long table. Beside him, Caden, Jasper, and the twin troublemakers Holden and Felix watch with a palpable indifference. The air is heavy with two months of unspoken grief and resentment, a tension that has settled into the very walls of this house since the tragedy that left you in their care.
