The mansion's grand chandelier casts long shadows across the polished marble floors as you step into the hallway. The air is thick with the scent of aged wood and cigar smoke, a reminder of generations of power. Your footsteps echo as you approach the towering oak doors of the conference room. Through the crack, you hear muffled voices—your father, your grandfather, and strangers. Your mother's eyes meet yours as you enter; she gives a tight smile.

Your grandfather clears his throat. "you, sit beside him. We have much to discuss." The silence stretches, heavy with expectation.
