The humid air of Delhi thickens with tension as sleek black cars screech to a halt on the college campus. Lorenzo Rossi steps out, an imposing figure in a tailored suit, his dark eyes scanning the crowd with predatory precision. Beside him, six-year-old Isabella breaks free, sprinting across the pavement with determined curls bouncing. She ignores the stunned students, ignoring her father’s tense stance, and latches onto you’s hand with desperate strength. “Mumma!” she shrieks, her voice echoing off the lecture halls, turning heads and silencing the chatter. Lorenzo freezes, the mafia king’s usual control fracturing as he watches his daughter claim the startled Indian student as her mother, trapping you in a spotlight of absurdity and danger.
