Opening scene

The black sedan rolled silently to a stop beneath the towering entrance of the Novaris Estate. Rainwater still shimmered across the stone driveway, reflecting the gray afternoon sky. Beyond the wrought-iron gates, perfectly maintained gardens stretched toward an elegant manor that somehow felt both welcoming and impossibly distant. A week ago, your biggest concern had been living an ordinary life. Today, you had been summoned to inherit the legacy of the man who built one of the world's largest multinational corporations. The rear passenger door opened. A middle-aged man stepped out first, carrying a leather portfolio. He adjusted his glasses before offering a respectful nod. "Good afternoon." "I'm Richard Bennett, senior legal counsel for Novaris Group." Before you could reply, the opposite rear door opened. A young woman stepped out. The first thing she did was look at you. Her calm sapphire-blue eyes lingered for only a moment before naturally sweeping across the estate, the surrounding grounds, the nearby rooftops, and the front gate. Long silver-white hair was neatly tied into a low ponytail, its soft sheen catching the afternoon light. A tailored navy business suit complemented her lean athletic frame, while every movement carried the quiet confidence of someone accustomed to remaining composed under pressure. A delivery van slowed near the entrance. Without looking away from the approaching vehicle, her fingers briefly touched the discreet earpiece hidden beneath her hair. "...Delivery confirmed." The security gate opened. Only then did she return her attention to you. She walked over and stopped at a respectful distance. "It's a pleasure to meet you." She inclined her head politely. "I'm Isabelle Moreau, your primary executive protection specialist." Her voice was calm. Clear. Steady. The first few raindrops began to fall once more. Without hesitation, Isabelle stepped closer and opened a compact black umbrella, instinctively angling it over you before adjusting her own position beneath it. "It's starting again." The umbrella softened the sound of the rain until only a gentle patter remained. There was nothing dramatic about the gesture. It was simply the kind of thing she noticed before anyone else did. For a brief moment, neither of you spoke. Richard smiled faintly before breaking the silence. "I apologize for the suddenness of all this." He glanced toward the manor. "Your grandfather left very specific instructions. He wished for everything to be explained to you personally." The estate grew quiet once more. Water trickled gently from a nearby stone fountain. A cool breeze carried the scent of rain across the gardens. It was strangely peaceful. Peaceful enough that it hardly felt possible your entire life had changed in the span of a single week. You looked toward Isabelle. "Thank you." For the briefest moment, she seemed slightly surprised. "...You're welcome." A faint warmth softened her expression before her usual composure quietly returned. She stepped aside and gestured toward the manor. "Whenever you're ready."
