As Anna had promised Damien she would be home by dinner, she made sure to be there on time. She asked Mrs. Luna, "Is Damien coming for dinner?"

Mrs. Luna replied, "Master is in his study. He mentioned having an important conference scheduled. He might be a little late, but he'll be here."

Anna smiled. "Okay, I will wait for him."

Mrs. Luna then noticed Anna’s appearance. "Madam, how did you hurt yourself?" Anna was wearing a pink summer dress with spots of blood on it. "Your forehead is bruised. Why didn’t you go to the doctor? Please, sit here. Let me take care of it." She guided Anna to a chair and went to get the first aid kit. Mrs. Luna cleaned the wound and seeing it wasn’t too deep, she applied some medicine and a bandage. She treated Anna so gently that all the emotions Anna had been holding back throughout the day, especially the hurt from the Spencer family and their treatment came spilling out in hot and fat tears.

Mrs. Luna asked, "Madam, is it hurting?"

    When the meeting ended, Damien and Abel arrived back to the company office and were also accompanied by Rowan. As they approached the lobby, they noticed Regina standing at the reception while filling out a form. Damien paused as she turned her head to look at them suddenly. Among the three friends, Rowan had always shared a closer bond with Regina and seeing her here made him happy instantly.“Hey, what are you doing here?” Rowan greeted her as his face lighting up with a wide smile.Regina responded softly, her gaze lingering on Damien for a moment. “I am here to apply for the competition.”“That is great!” Rowan exclaimed. “I’m certain you will win this! Your company is already doing fantastic work.” He turned towards Damien, his enthusiasm was at peak. “You already know the winner, Damien.”Damien simply stood there while saying nothing and maintaining his neutral expression. Abel stepped in with his curious and a little playful tone. “Regina, I don’t understand you. In this age o

    Behind Damien, Rowan and Abel were also standing and observing the scene. Rowan did not acknowledge Anna’s presence, and turned to Abel. "I’m getting late," he muttered, "See you soon."Once Rowan left, Abel stepped closer to Anna, his face brightening with a smile. "It’s great seeing you, partner." He enveloped her in a warm hug and added, "How long has it been? Almost a decade since we last met?"Anna returned the hug, her eyes softened at his old and kind attitude. "How are you, Abel?" she asked.Abel shrugged nonchalantly. "Well, I’m just surviving." He then gestured toward the door. "Care to join your old friend for a coffee?"Anna nodded without hesitation.They found themselves in a coffee shop nearby and sat at a secluded corner table. It had been years since they had seen each other. As they sipped their coffee, Anna said, "What’s up with Rowan?"Abel let out a long sigh, shaking his head. "Same old drama," he said. "Regina is still chasing Damien, and Damien, despite everythi

    “Damien Callahan! Get out of my room!” Damien snapped out of his stupor, still looking at her. His reaction was slow and dazed. She grabbed a pillow from the bed and threw it at him.“Get out!” She screamed.“Yeah…” Damien muttered as he walked out of the room, still in a daze.She quickly locked the door behind him, leaving Damien standing outside while he blinked in confusion. As he leaned against the wall, his mind unwillingly replayed what he had just seen. Her wet hair was framing her face while a droplet of water was trailing from the tip of her nose to her plump lips, before sliding down her chin, her neck and finally coming to rest on the curve of her chest. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. In high school, she had always been beautiful, but now she looked like Aphrodite herself. A warmth spread through his body, making him suddenly uncomfortable in his own skin. He tugged at his tie and unbuttoned his shirt collar, feeling the heat rising in him. He needed ai

    On the other hand, Ronan smiled with satisfaction as he looked at his watch. He wasn't going to let anyone help Anastasia Spencer. That woman should have thought twice before challenging Regina. He had pulled some strings to ensure that none of the companies Anastasia approached would support her. Across the entire country, no company was willing to back Anastasia Spencer.This was Anastasia's first defeat. If she thought she could come here and dream of defeating Regina, she was very wrong. Ronan Arnello would never let her win this time. It was Regina's time to shine.Meanwhile, on Damien's side..."Boss! She completed the formalities," the secretary announced.Damien walked over to see Anastasia's application details. His eyes narrowed at the company supporting his wife's candidacy."A&A Fashion House."A few hours later…A woman was walking through the office of A&A fashion house, her heels were clicking against the marbled floors as she walked forward.

    “Where is Adeline?” Austin asked. “I have been calling her and she is not taking my call.”Anastasia shook her head in helplessness. Ah, Adeline. The trouble maker. She wondered what trouble the girl might have created again. When Austin became successful, Adeline knew that she had no pressure to do well in school. Austin was three years older than her and one day she announced that she was moving to France to achieve her dream of becoming a model. Both Anastasia and Austin were shocked to hear that she had such a dream because Adeline never talked about it. In the end, Adeline told them that she sucked in school and she had no talent to survive in this world. The only thing that she possessed was beauty. Extraordinary beauty and she would rather use it. Three years in Paris and Adeline became a model. Not a runway model but a commercial model. Adeline Kingsley is a well known celebrity not just in Europe but in the entire world with more than fifty million followers on social media

    Back at the mansion, it was dinner time. Anastasia was there to have a meal with Damien, and after that, she had to go to meet Austin. She needed a way to tell him that she would be leaving home at this time for an important meeting. Meanwhile, he was curious about how she managed to get A&A Fashion House behind her back. They were one of the biggest fashion and jewelry brands in Europe and were now rapidly expanding in North America. It was not easy for a no name artist to represent them. He always knew that she had some tricks upto her sleeves but what are they. She said, “I have a meeting soon. I need to go out.”He did not ask her where she was having such late night meeting. He nodded and asked about the matter that was pressing on his mind. “You submitted the application.”She said, “Yes, I did.” After a while, she could not help but asked him, “Damien, do you also think like others that I am doing this to gain your attention and unnecessarily fight with Regina or sabotage he

    As Anna was leaving, Mrs Luna handed her a key and said, "Master wants you to keep the car."Anna was really surprised to hear that and she asked, "He is giving me his car?"After everything, she did not know that he would give him a car. It was not that he was stingy but he did not care for her. Knowing that he took a step ahead in her direction made her feel so many things at once. Mrs Luna nodded at the girl who was dazed to assure her that it was true. Anna quickly grabbed the car keys and ran outside where Damien's Rolls Royce was parked. She laughed and grinned as she opened the door and slipped inside but not before yelling, "My husband is the best in the whole wide world!" She really loved the car! Not because it was expensive but because it was his favourite car and he did not like to share it. Inside his room, Damien muttered, "Materialistic girl! How can she be so happy over something so fleeting and materialistic?"His phone rang after some time and it was Abel who was c

    While Ronan, Adeline, and Abel were at the hospital, Damien found himself pacing back and forth in the living room. He had been trying to contact Anastasia, but now her phone was switched off. She had been keeping him updated on the situation but with no recent word, his worry began to grow.“Dad, Rio is crying,” Maxey said softly, tugging at Damien’s sleeve.Damien turned quickly, his thoughts momentarily interrupted. “Oh…” he muttered, glancing toward the baby.As he turned, he noticed Asher holding Rio in his arms, while gently rocking him. To Damien’s surprise, Asher was singing the lullaby that Anastasia usually sang to soothe the baby. His voice was sweet and homely and before long, Rio’s cries quieted as he drifted off to sleep.Damien smiled faintly at the sight, feeling both pride and heartache.“Dad, when will Mom come home?” Asher asked, his voice filled with worry. “Is everything okay?”Damien ruffled his son’s hair, trying to reassure him. “Everything’s okay, kiddo,” he s

    Anna made sure all the exits around the hospital were blocked. She was determined to stop anyone from escaping, especially since she was certain the kidnapper hadn’t left and the missing baby was still inside the building.She didn’t waste any time and searched every corner of the hospital. She checked rooms, hallways, and storage areas, leaving nothing untouched. The guards were also running around, doing their best to find the child, but no one seemed to have any luck.As Anna moved through the hospital, she noticed a nurse heading toward the terrace, holding a cigarette packet. The nurse tried to open the door but found it locked.“That’s strange,” the nurse muttered. “Why is the terrace door locked? It’s never locked.”Anna’s instincts kicked in. Something felt off. She walked up to the door and tried opening it herself, but it wouldn’t budge. The lock was solid and the door wouldn’t move. Without hesitation, she decided to break it open.She hurried downstairs to find something h

    On Adeline’s side, Damien called her to come to his place immediately with her son. She was already en route when Ronan sent her an SOS with his location. Her brows furrowed at the odd message, but her heart pounded with unease. When she tried calling him, his phone was switched off.Dropping Rio off at Damien’s place, Adeline wasted no time. With her security team in tow, she headed to the location Ronan had sent. It was a private property on the outskirts of New York. The urgency of the situation made her call Delilah to arrange for a chopper to get her there faster.As they landed, her bodyguards secured the perimeter and began a thorough search of the property. Room by room, they swept through until Adeline finally found Ronan.He was lying on a bed. His body filled with discomfort as a naked woman attempted to climb on him. He was intoxicated but was still trying to push her away. Adeline’s blood boiled at the sight, but she forced herself to keep her calm.“Record this,” she or

    Regina couldn’t make sense of what was happening. How could it be Fiona? She had been living here for months and hadn’t even recognized her own mother.“Regina!” Anastasia screamed as Regina stumbled against a table and fell to the ground.Both Anastasia and Fiona rushed to her side, helping her to the sofa.“Are you okay?” Anastasia asked, panic evident in her voice.Dazed, Regina nodded.“You hit the table so hard! And you are heavily pregnant. I’m not taking any chances,” Anastasia said, her fear mounting.“Anna, I’m fine,” Regina reassured her.But Anastasia didn’t listen. She quickly called Damien. “Please come to Regina and Abel’s place right away. And increase security around our house.”“Is everything alright?” Damien asked, his concern clear.“Damien, my mom is alive. She is here with me. I need you to come over and make sure she is safe while I look after Regina,” Anastasia said, her voice trembling. “Please, hurry.”When Damien arrived, he was stunned to see Fiona. Anastasi

    Abel’s voice over the call was filled with concern. “Hey, Anastasia. Can you please check on Regina for me? I’m out of state for a meeting. She is not answering my calls, and my housekeeper is on leave.”There was a pause before he added, almost apologetically, “I know it is asking a lot, but I’m really getting stressed about her.”Anastasia’s tone was calm and reassuring. “It is not a big deal, Abel. I will go check on her.”“Thank you. I really appreciate it. I have to get back. I called you in the middle of a meeting,” he said hurriedly before ending the call.Anastasia smiled softly after hanging up. Lately, Abel had become incredibly attentive and caring toward Regina. With her due date approaching, it was natural for him to worry, especially when she didn’t pick up the phone. She admired how much effort he was putting into making sure Regina felt supported.“Maxey,” Anastasia called out, intending to get her youngest to join her.Instead of Ashton, Asher appeared in the doorway

    Damien and Anastasia lay tangled under the sheet as the afterglow of their passionate love-making session still lingered. He pressed a gentle kiss to the smooth curve of her shoulder and a quiet hum of satisfaction left her lips in response.“Who knew that kids making love would be such an adventure,” Anastasia murmured, her voice filled with exhaustion.Damien chuckled. “I hope for a decade none of them discover sex.”Anastasia rolled her eyes. “Come on, let’s not forget about us. We started pretty early. Thank God our parents never knew.”Damien’s grin was mischievous as he pulled her in for a slow kiss. “I missed you all day,” he whispered. Anastasia smirked, “Oh yeah? I heard the laughter downstairs. I know you were having fun with the boys. Did you even have the chance to miss me?”It warmed her heart to no end that their lives had changed for the better and now it was filled with so much love. This was the family that she never knew she needed. But now that she had it, everythi

    As Mrs. Luna served Asher’s breakfast, it was noticeably different from everyone else’s. Since Asher loved animals so much that he couldn’t bear the thought of eating meat, the family wholeheartedly respected his choice and ensured he was only served vegetarian meals.“Jellybean, your dad told me about your plans for the day. Are you excited?” Anastasia asked with a warm smile.“Yeah,” Asher replied, though his tone carried a mix of emotions. Glancing at his younger brother, he added, “Maxey isn’t learning to ride a bicycle?”“Nope!” Ashton grinned cheekily. “I asked Mommy if I could skip it, and she said yes.”Asher turned toward Damien with a frown. “That’s not fair!”Damien shrugged with a smirk. “Sorry, buddy. He pulled the Mommy card today, and you know how it is, she is the boss.”Asher rolled his eyes, clearly unimpressed.Anastasia leaned in, her tone encouraging. “I know by the end of the day, you will be riding like a pro. We are all rooting for you.”Breakfast was casual an

    Many times, blood does not define relationships. Anastasia understood this better than anyone, and now Damien was living this truth as well.When Asher and Ashton were brought to their new home, they were awestruck. It took them an entire month to come to terms with the reality of their new life. Accepting Anastasia and Damien as their parents wasn’t easy, but all four of them were working hard to build a family together.It was the weekend. The boys had recently been enrolled in a new school and adjusting to the fast-paced curriculum of an international private school had been challenging for them. However, their parents were fully committed to helping them succeed.Despite it being a holiday, Damien woke the kids up early.Asher, the older of the two, groaned. “Do I really have to get up?”Though he was respectful to Anastasia and Damien, Asher had a frosty demeanour—his coldness rivalled that of Antarctica.“Yes, you do,” Damien said firmly. “We agreed that today you would learn ho

Today, they have taken the first big step by visiting an orphanage. The thought of becoming parents for the first time has made them both nervous and excited. They have spent countless hours talking it over with friends and family, weighing the decision carefully before finally moving forward.“Mr. and Mrs. Callahan, we currently have 50 children in our orphanage,” the manager explained warmly as he led them through the hallways.The place was bustling with life, filled with laughter and the curious eyes of children. Anastasia and Damien took their time talking to many of them.
