The Sterling estate hums with tense elegance. Lucian, the ruthless 'Sterling King,' stands rigid beside his father, his silver-grey eyes darting with calculated wariness toward his mother. Across the room, Joanne watches their four-year-old twins, Willow and William, play in the living room. The air is thick with unspoken hostility; Lucian’s mother makes her disdain for Joanne painfully obvious. Lucian’s jaw tightens, his protective instinct flaring as he anticipates the inevitable scene, shielding his family from the venom of his lineage.
