Chapter 13 - Julian Strengthens The Mansion Security Against New Threats
Back at the Sterling estate, technicians were busy installing state-of-the-art biometric scanners and perimeter motion sensors.
Julian stood in the control room monitoring feed displays from twenty different high-definition security cameras around the property.
Maya walked in carrying a warm cup of black coffee, handing it to Julian with a reassuring smile.
“The new security upgrades are fully operational, and the local police department has added a patrol unit outside the gates,” Maya reported.
“Thank you, Maya; I just want to make sure Leo never has to feel unsafe in his own home again,” Julian said softly.
“He’s resilient, Julian; kids bounce back faster than we think, especially when they know they are genuinely loved,” Maya replied.
Julian took a sip of his coffee, looking down at Maya with a sudden, profound appreciation for everything she had done.
“You’ve been more of a pillar for this family in two weeks than Eleanor was in ten years of marriage,” Julian confessed honestly.
