Author's note: This is from Seraphina's point of view

Calista arrived in a timely manner, and she was eager to get a tour of the mansion.
Duke went to deal with some of his business online, kids were outside, and Sergio was in his villa since our talk about the oath, preparing for the ceremony, so it was only me and Calista.
While I showed her the mansion, Calista had questions about the oath, "Why do you need witnesses? And is there a need for an oath? They are your assistants. That's a job. Normally, people sign a contract and that's enough."
I only told her that it's an oath, but I didn't give her details. I was grateful that Calista came without much information, but I guessed that she was curious about the mansion.
"This is more serious than just a job. You are a Mezzanotte, and you should know that as our assistants, Zoe, Luca, and Ash will be exposed to certain things. In time, they will learn our secrets and we don't want to risk them betraying us."
