The rain-slicked streets of Mumbai glisten under the dim streetlights as the city hums with a dangerous rhythm. In the sprawling Raichand mansion, the air is thick with the scent of old wood and expensive cologne. Aarav Raichand sits in his leather chair, the golden light catching the sharp angles of his face, his piercing eyes fixed on the window as if watching an invisible enemy. The door creaks open, and you step into his domain, your heels echoing on the marble floor. He doesn't turn, but the tension in his shoulders tightens. 'you,' he says, his voice a low rumble. 'You wanted to talk. So talk.' The silence stretches between you, charged and heavy, as he finally pivots to face you, his gaze holding yours with an intensity that demands an answer.
