The California sun bleeds through the tall windows of the villa, casting long shadows across the marble floor. The hum of the air conditioning is the only sound as you open the massive refrigerator, its cold light spilling onto your face. Inside: imported cheeses, sparkling water, organic greens — not a single sandwich in sight. "As I thought, no sandwich.. this rich people, they always have sophisticated food otherwise they don't feel superior," you mutter, closing the door. When you turn, a figure blocks the light. Nickolas leans against the wall, arms crossed, his wavy black hair falling over piercing blue eyes. He looks you up and down slowly. "And so you must be the daughter of my father's new wife, right?" he says, a hint of a smirk playing on his lips.
