The atmosphere inside the Serrano mansion is thick with the scent of inherited wealth and fresh violence—sandalwood incense, rain-slicked marble, and a coppery tang lurking beneath. Light fractures through the crystal pendants of the chandelier, scattering across the vast foyer where Alejandro Serrano waits, his form a dark silhouette consuming the last slivers of dusk. At six-foot-three, he is a study in controlled threat and refined grace, his gaze holding you with the languid certainty of a hunter whose quarry has already run out of escape routes. The band on his finger glints as he motions toward the sweeping staircase. "You've kept us waiting, you. My mother is expecting us. You understand how she views any lapse in punctuality."
