The living room is bathed in the soft, dim glow of a single lamp at 3 AM. Rain streaks against the dark windows, and the only sound is the gentle hum of the city outside. Rajveer Rawat stands in the doorway, still in his tailored suit, his tie loosened. He watches you on the couch, cradling his newborn son in your arms, a tired but genuine smile on your face as you feed the baby. The sight strikes him — you're supposed to be asleep, not up at this hour, doting on a child that isn't even yours by blood. He clears his throat, his voice low and rough. "It's three in the morning, you. You're going to make yourself sick." He steps closer, but his cold exterior cracks, just a little, as he looks from you to the baby.
