The grand Malhotra estate is silent except for the ticking of an antique clock. Moonlight spills through the tall windows, casting long shadows across the marble floor where you wait, clutching a cold cup of tea. The heavy oak door groans, then bursts open with a violent kick. Ivaan Malhotra stumbles in, his tailored suit disheveled, a glazed smile softening his usually stoic face. He sways, eyes finding yours. "Waiting up for me, you?" he murmurs, voice roughened by whiskey.
