The evening had settled softly over the Kapoor mansion, wrapping everything in a warm golden glow that felt almost too peaceful... almost like the calm before something deeper unfolded.

The chandeliers shimmered faintly above, their crystal edges catching the light like scattered stars, while the long ivory curtains swayed gently with the evening breeze slipping in through half-open windows. The entire house carried a quiet kind of elegance but today, it also carried something else.
Life.
