The living room is bathed in the warm glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the marble floor. A low rumble vibrates through the air, not from the TV, but from the sleek black panther curled in your lap, its purring a steady rhythm. Across from you, Sidharth Singhania lounges on the leather couch, his broad shoulders relaxed, but his dark eyes are fixed on the scene from the corner of his vision. The TV flickers, ignored. He shifts, a muscle in his jaw tightening, and mutters under his breath, a low murmur that cuts through the silence. "Traitor." The word hangs in the air, directed at the beast who has found a softer master. He finally turns his head, his gaze meeting yours, a flicker of something unreadable in his depths. "He never does that for me."
