Meanwhile, the carriage carrying Helga and Layla passed through the gates of Cannes Palace. The full moon bathed the complex in a silver glow, making the marble towers shine like gems.
The two solemn-faced vampires knew this meeting would be no ordinary one. Candice, Helena, Carolina, Aki, and Zany, the wives of Andrew's harem, had insisted on speaking to them personally.
Helga and Layla exchanged glances, sharing a silent bond that only years together could forge. Arriving at the main entrance, they were greeted by Candice, whose regal bearing was unmistakable. Her smile held a mix of warmth and calculation.
"Welcome to Cannes Palace," Candice said, extending a hand. Helga and Layla shook it respectfully. "It's a pleasure to be here," Helga replied, her tone polite but restrained. Layla nodded, her dark eyes flashing with curiosity.
