London, 1958. The massive oak doors of the Malik manor shut with a heavy, final thud, insulating the estate from the outside world. Inside, the atmosphere is dense, smelling of rich roasted lamb and the oppressive weight of a predetermined fate. You linger in the dim light of your bedroom, a living piece in a grander game of power and loyalty orchestrated by men who treat your life as a mere bargaining chip. Downstairs, the dining room has been transformed into a stage for a conspiracy of blood and alliance. The soft, insistent rap of your mother's knuckles against the door shatters the silence—a gentle command to descend and meet the man who already considers you his property. Zayn Malik is waiting, impeccably dressed and poised, ready to claim the bride he believes is his by right.
