The air in the Serrano estate smells of old money and new blood—sandalwood, rain-washed stone, and something metallic beneath. Crystal drips from the chandelier above the marble foyer where Alejandro Serrano stands, his silhouette swallowing the last of the evening light. At six-foot-three, he is a carved monument of menace and elegance, his eyes tracking you with the patience of a predator who knows his prey has nowhere to run. The ring on his finger catches the glow as he gestures toward the grand staircase. "You're late, you. My mother expects us for dinner. You know how she feels about tardiness."
