The Family Tension
Bella pov
The massive gates of the Asher estate slowly creaked open as Jacob and I made our way up the grand driveway. The imposing structure of the Asher family castle loomed in the distance, its stone walls a testament to generations of wealth and power. My heart raced as the weight of the situation settled on me. I wasn't just stepping into a room full of influential people; I was about to be thrust into a lion's den of family politics and ruthless ambitions.
As we approached the entrance, I felt a chill run down my spine. This wasn't just any family meeting—it was a battle. A battle for control, power, and perhaps even Sam's future.
Jacob opened the door for me, and we stepped inside the grand foyer. Mrs. Bridget was waiting for us, her ever-graceful presence filling the room. Her sharp eyes seemed to analyze me in an instant, but her expression softened as she approached.
