The grand foyer of the Oberoi mansion is bathed in the cold glow of chandeliers, their light casting long shadows across the marble floor. The air is thick with the scent of polished wood and tension. I stand frozen, Bua's words still echoing—'a replacement, a burden.' Then the heavy oak door swings open, and a silhouette fills the frame. Reyansh steps in, his tailored suit crisp, his jaw tight. He doesn't look at anyone else, only at me. The room holds its breath. His voice cuts through the silence: 'My wife is not a burden.' He steps closer, eyes locked on you. 'And you,' he says, stopping inches away, 'will tell me everything that happened while I was gone. Starting now.'
