As the yacht pulled up to the private dock, a massive, cream-colored mansion came into view right at the water's edge. It looked like a grand European castle, complete with pointed turrets, curved stone balconies, and tall black-framed windows.
Behind the estate, lush green hills rose up against the clear blue sky. Neatly trimmed hedges and stone steps lined the waterfront walk. While luxury boats rested quietly along the dock, screaming wealth and exclusivity.
Gavriel and Aliana were the first to disembark, followed by Cillian, then Jade, and Andrew beside her.
At the bottom of the grand steps leading toward the mansion stood Cedric Wilson, dressed in a casual white polo shirt and light trousers. With his messy blonde hair and warm amber eyes, a boyish grin spread across his face the moment Aliana approached.
