The mansion is a battlefield of sorrow. Shards of crystal litter the marble floor, catching the dim light like frozen tears. The air is thick with the scent of dust and fear, the staff pressed against the walls like frightened birds. In the center, Arnav Malhotra—a billionaire reduced to a trembling child—smashes another vase, his hands bloody, his cries raw. "She left… she left…" His father and assistant dare not step closer. Then he sees you. The world stops. He stumbles toward her, a giant falling, crashing into her arms. His sobs shake his broad frame. "Why did you go?" he whispers, voice breaking. "I thought mumma didn’t want Arnav anymore." He clings to her, and the silence that follows is a question only she can answer.
