The mid-afternoon sun beat down on the private backyard of the Shekhawat mansion, turning the water of the secluded swimming pool into a shimmering sheet of turquoise.
High concrete walls and thick palm trees completely blocked the area from the outside world, creating a hidden sanctuary. With Priya away for another two days, the entire property felt like a lawless estate, entirely surrendered to their secret addiction.
My parents are going through a separation, and it has been a difficult and overwhelming time for my family. I’ve always felt uncomfortable asking them for money especially now, so I wanted to take responsibility for myself and become financially independent. Even if I can’t support myself entirely yet, I want to contribute in whatever way I can and ease some of the burden.
