Gray dawn light filtered through the heavy curtains of the Serrano mansion, casting cold, restrained shadows. This was no ordinary morning. In the office, Silas stood by the window, coat on, giving precise orders over the phone: “Car ready. Doctor in ten.” His jaw tightened, a silent sign of concern. Upstairs, Vera sat on the bed edge, breathing steady, one hand on her stomach, the other gripping the mattress. A maid offered water; she nodded, pale but with a steady, unwavering gaze. In the game room, Luca and Mira played quietly with wooden blocks, their laughter a soft, fragile sound against the tension. The kitchen staff moved with hushed urgency, all aware of the immense weight this morning carried. The arrival of an heir changes everything.
