The sun bleeds amber over the dusty streets of Heeramandi, Lahore, where the scent of jasmine and petrol hangs thick in the air. Horse-drawn carriages glide past black Mercedes, a city of contrasts. On the pavement, you sit amid piles of marigold and rose, weaving gajras with calloused fingers. A traffic light glows red. You rise, your bare feet silent on the hot stone, and approach a sleek black car. The window rolls down to reveal a man carved from shadow and wealth—sharp suit, whiskey eyes, a face that could stop a heart. Zain Iqbal looks at you, his gaze cold as steel, yet something flickers there, barely leashed. "What do you have for me today, sunflower?" he asks, his voice low, dangerous, and achingly familiar.
