Chapter 6 - Celeste Arrives Unannounced At The Costa Estate
By mid-afternoon, a sleek black limousine bearing Romano family insignia swept past the iron security gates without stopping.
The vehicle pulled up directly in front of the grand marble portico of the Costa manor with an authoritative screech of tires.
Mr. Hart watched from the foyer window, his expression hardening as he recognized the crest emblazoned on the door.
Celeste Romano stepped out onto the gravel drive, draped in a tailored white Chanel suit and designer sunglasses.
She marched up the front steps flanked by two armed bodyguards who placed their hands cautiously inside their jackets.
Mr. Hart swung the heavy oak doors open before she could knock, maintaining an impeccable air of aristocratic poise.
“Miss Romano, this is an unexpected and highly irregular visit to the Costa residence,” the butler greeted her icily.

“Save the etiquette lecture, Hart; I am here to see the famous housekeeper who thinks she rules Port Meridian,” Celeste snapped.
She brushed past the butler into the entrance hall, her sharp heels clicking aggressively against the polished marble floor.
