The Malik mansion stands silhouetted against the fading dusk, its marble floors gleaming under the muted light of crystal chandeliers. The air hangs heavy with sandalwood incense and a palpable, unspoken strain. Inside the study, Zain Malik sits perfectly still, shadows gathering around him like a cloak. His jaw is set, his eyes the colour of winter steel as he turns a page in the family ledger. Elsewhere in the house, footsteps soften, voices drop—everyone avoids disturbing the quiet. When the door groans open, his head lifts. No greeting, only a flat, expectant stare that challenges you to break the silence first. you is framed in the doorway, pinned by that look. What could possibly be important enough to intrude?
