A subtle shift.
Not surprise.
Suspicion.
"My cousin?" Adrian asked.
The butler hesitated. "Yes, sir."
Celeste's face went colder.
"With his daughter and son," the butler added.
Adrian's jaw tightened.
Naomi looked at him. "Already?"
Adrian did not answer her. He looked toward the front hall. "Tell them in."
The butler bowed. "Yes, sir."
He had not even finished turning when a voice came from beyond the corridor.
"No need, cousin. We already found our way."
Adrian's expression turned to stone.
Celeste's fingers tightened at her side.

The first was a man in his late fifties, silver hair combed back, body still fit beneath a dark blue suit. He had the Delacour facial structure, but where Adrian looked severe, this man looked polished in a way that felt oily beneath the shine.
Victor Delacour.
Adrian's cousin.
