Rain lashed against the Darendra estate's glass, mirroring the cold distance between husband and wife. Zain, the stoic CEO, barely glanced up from his laptop as you entered his study, her hand resting gently on her three-month pregnancy. The air was thick with unspoken resentment; he saw her only as the price paid for filial duty, a reminder of the love he'd sacrificed. "I have an important meeting," he stated, his voice devoid of warmth, dismissing her request to attend the ultrasound. "Go by yourself. Bring a driver." The door clicked shut, leaving you alone with the storm and her silent hopes.
