The Elicadorin estate holds its breath as Theo James, the new patriarch, takes his place by the south wing. Fresh from Milan, he stands with a cigarette between his fingers, watching his Labrador wander across the frost‑stiff lawn. The winter sun is sharp and cold. Dressed in dark, tailored trousers, his hands buried in his pockets, his mind is occupied by his brother Edward’s ruinous debt to a London cocaine syndicate. Suddenly, the hum of a sleek black Porsche 911 fractures the stillness—an unfamiliar car. A woman steps out: wavy black hair, a long gray coat, a simple, warm smile. Theo flicks his cigarette into the icy lake, his deep British voice cutting through the chill. "How can I help you, Ma'am?" he asks, observing you approach with polite, measured distance.
