Anjali got shocked, she stared at Alex with a confused look while trying to figure out what was going on. " Alex !! you should have to give me flowers instead of apples ", Anjali finally broke the silence. Alex chuckled and pinched the cheeks of Anjali, " How could you call yourself a K-drama lover when you don't know that apple is the symbol of apology ". Anjali rolled her eyes and said, " I knew it but who gives the bouquet of apples ? Idiot ! What will I do ? ". Alex ruffled her hair and said, " You will eat them silly! by the way, an apple a day keeps the doctor away," Alex took a bite of an apple. " Hehehe! Silly ", Anjali stick out her tongue. " Have your lunch !! ", Alex offered her a bowl of noodles. " Hmmm!!! It smells nice ", Anjali sniffed the noodles. " Wrong! it's r****h ramen ", Alex gave her chopsticks. " What? I don't know how to eat with chopsticks " Anjali pouted. " Let me teach you then !! ", Alex said with a smile and grabbed the chopstick. " It's simple
" Did I have another choice? Since when does my opinion matter? ", Anjali asked with a sarcastic laugh. " You are still angry with me? You wanted to punish me huh? Fine, you can but don't be upset ", Alex asked. " Stop your act !! It made me disgusted You hate me and all you wanted to make me suffer. What was my fault, Alex? Why did you hate my mother? What did she do ? ", Anjali asked. " Baby girl! I hurt you that's why are you angry huh ? ", suddenly Alex's eyes fell on her hand which got burned by noodles soup. " I am sorry !! Forgive me! how could I hurt you ", Alex yelled at himself and banged his head on the wall. " Stop it !! You are making me scared " she cried. Alex stopped and cupped her cheeks, " Don't be scared, I am your Alex . The person who loves you unconditionally ". " No, you can't. If you loved me then you wouldn't have hurt me ", Anjali flinched back from his touch. " How could I prove you my sincerity ? ", Alex yelled. " I don't know. Please leave me alon
" Vicky !! my son, ", Amara screamed when the call hung up."Maybe the call disconnected because of the network issue ", She tried to convince herself by lying and called again.But this time no one picked up Maybe son is busy somewhere ", Amara again called him.This time Vicky picked up the call, " Vicky ! .......", Amara said desperately." He is not your Vicky !! He is my son ", a manly voice roared." Veer! I am sorry. Please let me talk to my son ", Amara begged." Your son huh Since when did you care for him ? ", Veer taunted." Veer I know I made a terrible mistake but that doesn't mean that you will punish Vicky and yourself ", Amara cried." Yes! I deserve this for loving such a vile woman. And about Vicky, he is not your son anymore. We both died for you when left us for money ", Veer vents all his anger through his words." Don't punish Veer, he is a kid. I couldn't be a mother but you are a good person. Be the best father for him and try to move on. It's my last request. I
" Mom ! Here are your favourite doughnuts ", Alex gave her the packet." Thanks my son !! ", Vera smiled ."

Dad! we protected Mom and Alexa in your absence ", Alesso said excitedly." I am proud of you boys! Remember for Knights their precious thing is their girls. Promise me that you will take care of your mother and sister in my absence ", Alec asked." Dad! we will !
In the Greyson's mansion Amara got ready for today's task, she was about to leave when Stephen blocked her way." Stephen, I am running late. Don't waste my time ", Amara and was about to move." Where are you going ? ", Stephen asked." It's not your concern ", Amara said bluntly." Looks like a cat got its claws ", Stephen asked.Amara inhaled deeply and said, " I am not bound to tell you ". " You are not going anywhere ", Stephen held her hand tightly." Leave my hand !! Do you have a hearing problem ", Amara yelled and jerked her hand.Stephen was flabbergasted by her action while Amara left in a hurry................. " Son ! Do you know once I was like you, confident, young and ambitious but still I didn't succeed.?Do you know why ? ", Alec asked his son." Probably you didn't have any mentor ", Alex replied confidently.Alec shook his head with no." Ok You didn't have enough money ", Alex answered.Again Alec shook his head." Come on! let's break the ice ", Alex asked wi
"Dad! It's good that soon we will start this project. I am happy that finally, my Mom's dream will come true ", Alex said excitedly." Son ! Don't trust that woman blindly. Remember she is working under Stephen. Stephen is like hyenas who fed on the leftovers of a lion and when the right time came they tried to feed on a lion. I knew the habit of that kind of people ", Alec warned." Dad! I will be careful and about Stephen, if he tries to deceive us it will be the steps towards his end ", Alex assured Alec." Tomorrow at the conference meeting you have to be careful, especially when Stephen is around you.", Alec said with a serious look." Dad! Who is Stephen? Why did you try to distance yourself from him ? ", Alex asked out of curiosity." Son! I don't feel the good aura around him. Most of his companies are doing work illegally It seems like he had a big support who is trying to hide his dirty work. ", Alec gave the half information." But Dad then how did you agree to it ? ", Alex
Anjali was sitting in the corner watching the kids playing together, she desperately wanted to join them but was scared that they would hurt as Clara's friends did with her. " Hello little munchkins ! ", Alex greeted the children excitedly and squatted down on his knees. All the kids jumped in excitement and ran towards Alex, Alex smiled and said, "Easy little banters! lLookI bought chocolate milk and burgers for you ". " Yippie! it's party time ", all the children encircled Alex and jumped in around the Alex. " Ok ! fine! Stop dancing and take your seat so that you can enjoy the meal.", Alex said and asked his men to distribute among the children. Anjali stared at everyone from the corner while trying hard behind the corner. A kid walked towards Anjali to invite her with him, "Come and join us sissy ! ", that child took the hot chocolate milk to offer her. Suddenly his feet slipped and hot chocolate milk spilled over Anjali. " Aaaahhhh! Hot it's burning ", Anjali screamed in ag
" I think, it's enough for today! you may take leave . ", Alec said to Amara. " Thanks ! I will take my leave ", Amara collected her stuff " Let me call my assistant to bring back your daughter. ", Alec was about to call his assistant when Amara stopped, " I will pick her up by myself, she will feel happy ". " As you wish ! ", Alec said and engaged himself in the files. Amara went to the daycare centre excitedly, " my daughter must have made new friends! Indeed, finally one can resist such an innocent and kind-hearted girl " Amara said to herself. She entered the daycare centre and started searching for his daughter, the room was filled with kids around the age of 3-6 years, " My daughter must be helping the caretakers ! " she said to herself delightfully" Mam! What are you looking for ? ", one of the ladies working there asked. " My daughter! Her name is Anjali. She came here for the first time but I am sure that she didn't create any kind of trouble. She is an obedient kid ",
**The Next Day...**As dawn broke, a gentle light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room. When Alex finally stirred from his deep slumber, he realized that he was still curled up in the same position from the previous night. He couldn’t recall when exactly exhaustion had embraced him, but he distinctly remembered the comfort of resting his head on Anjali's lap, drowning in tears yet finding solace in her presence. After a decade of tumult, the morning air felt invigorating, as if it had lifted a weight he had carried for far too long.Nearby, Anjali lay still, her soft breaths creating a rhythm of serenity. A serene smile danced on her lips as she gently threaded her fingers through Alex's hair, lost in her dreamscape. The sudden movement stirred Anjali awake when Alex attempted to disentangle her hand from his hair. She blinked rapidly, instantly alert, her brow furrowed in concern as she scanned Alex's eyes for any sign of distress. "What happened?" she
Present...............After hearing about Alex's past and the heartbreak that resulted from his father's greed, Anjali is overwhelmed with guilt. She never expected her history to resurface in such a profound way. The pain and suffering experienced by Alex and his family seemed beyond repair, and it dawned on her that she too was a victim in this tragic story.“I’m so sorry, Alex. I had no idea you had endured so much,” Anjali said, tears filling her eyes as she moved closer to him, seeing him on his knees, grieving his loss.“Your apology doesn’t change anything,” Alex responded, his voice strained. “Do you even know what followed? This was just the start of the hell that your father created. The rest became a nightmare you should have recognized.”"No, I don't want to, Alex, please," Anjali cried. She was terrified that another revelation would break her and cause her to not be able to forgive herself or her mother."You needed her; it’s all because of your mother. She betrayed us
Anjali's accusation left Stephen in a cold sweat. "Because of that bastard, I'm going to lose everything," he cursed as he slowly reached for the pistol lying on the floor next to Alex.He picked up the gun and aimed it at Anjali, whose eyes widened in horror as she realized what her father intended to do. "No, you can't! I want to go back to Mommy!" she cried out.Stephen remained silent, his finger hovering over the trigger. Just then, Alex lunged at him, snatching the gun from his grasp. "You bastard! You killed my dad, and now you’re trying to kill that innocent girl! I won’t let you get away with this. You’ll pay for everything!" Alex shouted, pointing the weapon at Stephen."Mommy! Mommy! Save me!" Anjali screamed, terrified by the fierce look in Alex's eyes."Alex, don’t do anything foolish! I can give you whatever you want. Just spare my life!" Stephen pleaded, trying to manipulate him."I’m not a monster like you! You murdered my father!" Alex yelled, ready to pull the trigge
Vera was waiting for Alec to come back home, it's been so late even he didn't pick up her call." Mom, are you waiting for Dad? ", Alessandro asked with a groggy voice while rubbing his eyes." Alesso, go and sleep. Mom will come to you after Dad comes back home . ", Vera said gently." Mom, why did Dad come so late at home? Even he didn't spend more time with you. Is dad stopped loving you . ", Alesso asked with curiosity." No baby it's not like that, dad is busy with his work that's why he doesn't have time for us . ", Vera lied." Mom, I am scared what if Dad left us . ", Alesso asked with concern." No, he will not . ", Vera said confidently." I want all of us to live together . ", Alesso hugged Vera." We will baby, let's take Alexa to her room, she has already slept . ", Vera said." She looks cute while sleeping . ", Alesso admired his little sister." Yes she is . ", Vera smiled."Stay away from my children vile woman . ", Alec roared on Vera." Alec why did you come late
"Doctor! How did the surgery go?" Rose asked, pressing her lips together to hide her anxiety."The operation was successful, but we’ll know more once she wakes up," the doctor replied, sighing after hours of intense work."When will she wake up?" Rose inquired, a glimmer of relief beginning to show on her face."Perhaps in twenty-four hours or longer. Just remember, when she does wake up, avoid causing her any stress. It could be harmful to her brain," the doctor cautioned firmly."We will take care of her, thank you, Doctor. You've saved my precious niece's life, and I’m truly grateful," Rose said, her voice filled with appreciation."It's all part of my job. Where is the patient's mother?" the doctor asked."She had some urgent matters to attend to, but she’ll be here soon to see her daughter," Rose replied.........................Amara slowly regained consciousness, feeling utterly drained. Her body ached as if it had been brutally crushed, and not a single inch of her skin was l
"You don't understand what kind of woman Amara is because of how Alec turned against me. He puts her above me. She's not a good person; she tried to seduce my husband by playing the victim," Vera attempted to explain."I can't speak to her character, but my best friend can't be like that. Vera, you're being naive and easily swayed. Sometimes we only see what others want us to see. Think carefully; Alec would never cheat on you," Felicity replied."How can I be misunderstanding? When I walked into the penthouse, I saw Alec in a bathrobe, holding Amara in his arms. What does that mean?" Vera exclaimed, tugging at her hair in frustration."I was soaked when I pulled Amara out of the bathroom, and her daughter gave me the bathrobe because she couldn't find anything else for me to wear. As for holding Amara, she was crying, and I was trying to comfort her. She was scared that if you knew I was helping her, it would affect our marriage. I wanted to explain, but you were too busy yelling at
"Dad! Mom left," Alex exclaimed, his face a mix of shock and disbelief.Alec stayed silent, pouring himself a drink and downing it swiftly, which only fueled Alex's anger."Stop drinking! Just answer my question!" Alex shouted, grabbing the glass from him."Shut up! Give that back!" Alec snapped at Alex."Look at yourself! I've been gone for two days, and this is what you've done?" Alex pressed."Everything is over! She left me. Your mom left me," Alec sobbed, his voice breaking."Then why didn’t you stop her?" Alex asked, struggling to keep his frustration in check.Alec let out a bitter laugh. "You warned me that if I tried to stop her, she'd end her life. She knew my weaknesses better than anyone. I could lose anyone, but never her."Alex took a deep swig of alcohol, trying to numb the pain of Vera's departure."It’s been two days since Vera left, but it feels like an eternity. This place is hell without Amara and the kids. I don’t want to live," Alec cried, resting his head on the
Anjali waited anxiously for her mother to emerge from the bathroom. Despite her repeated knocks on the door, an hour passed without a sound. “Mommy! Please come out! You'll catch a cold; it's freezing in here!” Anjali called out, worry creeping into her voice, but she received no response. “It’s okay, Mommy. Don’t listen to that woman. I know you’re the best mom,” Anjali tried to lift her mother’s spirits, but silence was the only answer. “Mommy, you’re scaring me. Please, say something!” Anjali’s panic grew, and she pounded on the door in desperation. “If you don’t want to talk, that’s fine, but at least let me know you’re okay. Your silence is frightening me. Don’t be rude!” Anjali pleaded, tears welling in her eyes. When there was still no answer, dread washed over her. Something must be wrong. “Mommy, hold on! I’m calling for help!” Anjali cried, racing to the living room. She grabbed the phone and dialed Alec’s number. He was the only one she trusted to help her mother, espe
" Why for heaven's sake we are losing every one of our clients and the Greyson grabbed every one of them from us, it seems as though all of you had developed to a lazy ass . ", Alec lashed his managers for steadily losing the tasks." We are making an honest effort yet don't have any idea how the Greyson Development organization figured out how to get it. We are giving our best yet we don't know what we are missing . ", a manager informed." I don't need pardons, I'm giving you the last admonition if you didn't get the undertaking from Mr.Paul Anderson then it, I should toss all of you out and choose new staff . ", Alec cautioned." We will make an honest effort ! ", the managers guaranteed and afterward Alec excused the work........................." Our organization shares are going down Father! What's happening? I had never seen such an extraordinary change. ", Alex asked." Child, it happens in some cases . ", Alec said tranquility." It's unusual that every one of the tasks is g
