A sharp electronic beep echoed from ahead.

Almost immediately, a small team of security personnel appeared in front of them, blocking the driveway.

They studied Brett and Nóra with cautious eyes before one of them stepped forward.

“Good afternoon. May I ask the purpose of your visit today?”

His tone was professional, but it carried an unmistakable air of authority.

Isabella’s security detail was nothing short of elite.

Ever since she’d made it clear to the contracted firm that she expected premium service, dedicated personnel, and was willing to pay double the standard rate, competition had been fierce to get assigned to her property.

Practically overnight, the security around her home had surpassed what you’d find at most high–end estates.

“I–I’m here to see Isabella. I’m from the Carter family,” Brett replied, his voice coming out slightly unsteady.

He was familiar with this level of protection–it was the kind usually reserved for gated communities with A–list celebrities or diplomats compounds.

Normally, those places operated with twice the personnel.

But he never expected Isabella’s place to be on that level.

Maybe I have the wrong address.

that/slevel.

How could Isabella possibly rate security like this?

He braced himself to be turned away, already rehearsing an excuse about taking a wrong turn in the neighborhood.

After all, he did live in this villa community–surely they wouldn’t give him too much trouble.

Just then, one of the guards spoke quietly into his wrist comm, listened for a moment, then turned back to Brett.

“All right, sir. Our apologies for the stop. We’ve recently upgraded to a premium security tier for this residence, so your details hadn’t been entered into the system yet. You won’t be stopped on future visits.”

He gave a polite, slight bow. “Enjoy your visit.”

The team stepped aside smoothly, clearing the way.

Brett sat frozen for a second, struggling to process what had just happened.

way, he blurted out. He pinched his own arm hard, then turned to Nora with watering eyes. “Tell me I’m frot dreaming

Nora glanced at his reddening eyes, the treteor in his lips, and said gently, “You pinched yourself quite hard, Mr. Carter.”

“Shit!”

“It’s probably not fake.”

Does he really not know whether it’s real or not, when he’s practically made himself cry from pinching?

The moment Nora’s words left her mouth, Brett’s eyes went wide as saucers

“So it’s real? Isabella actually lives in a place like this?!”

He swallowed hard, watching as the security team retreated and one of them made a subtle hand signal toward the sky.

Within moments, a soft hum grew louder overhead–a formation of compact surveillance drones passed above, clearly having been monitoring their approach the whole time.

That’s next–level security. Brett realized, his throat dry.

What kind of place had Isabella moved into?

A thought struck him: maybe the Wayne family had bought the estate.

That would make sense.
