Anjali stirred awake, her body screaming in protest as she groaned, “Water… Wa… Water.” Rose rushed to her side, worry etched on her face.“My child!! You scared me,” she exclaimed, planting a gentle kiss on Anjali’s forehead. With a raspy voice, Anjali pleaded for water, her throat feeling like sandpaper.Rose quickly poured a glass and helped her sip, asking, “Do you want more?”Anjali managed a pained smile, “No, I’m fine.” Rose’s guilt bubbled over as she blamed herself for Anjali’s hospital stay. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t come on time! They’re monsters!”Anjali shook her head, “It’s my fault; I shouldn’t have made a scene.”Rose scoffed, “Oh please, it must be Alex’s fault!”Anjali just sighed, “I’m not in the mood for arguing.”Rose chuckled sarcastically, “You could lose your right hand, and you’re still defending them?”Anjali stared at her plastered hand, shaking it slightly as she muttered, “They’re my only family after my mom.” Rose, clearly frustrated, shot back, “Family doe

Rose gazed at the innocent yet angelic figure before her, feeling grateful for the company of such a wonderful person. She had always dreamed of having a daughter like Anjali, but life had not granted her that joy. Nevertheless, she took solace in the fact that Anjali was in her life, and she poured all her love and care into her, treating her as if she were her child."Your heart is like a diamond—pure, transparent, and precious. But I'm worried about the hardships you might face. I don’t want you to end up like your mother," Rose said, affectionately stroking Anjali's hair."Don’t worry; I’m strong enough to handle any pain," Anjali reassured her."Your mother was just as confident as you, but look at how things turned out for her," Rose replied gently."I know, but my mother is still fighting. I believe she won't give up easily and one day she'll be able to walk again," Anjali responded, her eyes filled with hope."Hopes can be strange, can't they? They inspire us to live, but when

Alex maintained his composure as he attempted to slip the ring onto Clara's finger, but it wouldn't go on. Frustrated, he forced it, causing Clara to jerk her hand away. "You're bruising my finger! Put it on another one!" she snapped.Although her words stung, Alex swallowed his pride for the sake of revenge and slid the ring onto a different finger.The priest announced, "You may kiss the bride," and Alex grimaced.

Rose replied, her voice laced with panic.Anjali managed a faint smile and reassured her, "Calm down, I’m okay! It’s just something else that’s making me feel scared.""Those Grayson bastards! I’m sure they did something, but this time don’t be afraid. I’ll fight for you," Rose said, her teeth clenched in anger."Rose, they didn’t do anything.

**One Year Later...**Everything has changed. Anjali has been focused on completing her studies and juggling her part-time job. Finally, the day has arrived for her graduation, and, as usual, she has topped her class."Are you excited?" Rose asked Anjali, who was getting ready for the graduation ceremony."Absolutely! But I miss Veer and Neha. They were my rock, and I owe so much to them. They helped me believe in myself," Anjali sighed. It had been a year since that day. Initially, she loved the city, but soon the absence of Neha, Veer, Ananya, and her family began to weigh heavily on her. Although her new school was great and the other students were kind, she still felt an unsettling emptiness."I understand, but don’t worry! We’ll be moving back soon, and we can all catch up to make up for lost time," Rose encouraged her."Yeah, but first, I’m going to get a good scolding from Veer and Neha, with a side of beatings for dessert. Then we can think about other things," Anjali rolled he

"I sincerely; I fail to comprehend!" Alex remarked, his one of bewilderment"It is entirely your fault! Do you understand?" Anjali retorted with unwavering confidence. "Are you jesting What absurdity are spouting? Are you even aware of the repercussions of offending me?" Alex growled. "How delightful! I am acutely aware of the consequences of incurring your wrath, yet I persist!" Anjali replied, a pained smile gracing her lips as memories of her near brush with death resurfaced in her mind. "Yet you continue to repeat the same error," Alex observed. "Indeed! The last time, the pain was inflicted upon my own body, and I bore it. But this time, it will harm innocents who are blameless, all due to you, your indolent employees, and a few corrupt individuals," Anjali glared at Alex, his associates, and then the principal, one by one. "Girl! It appears you have injured your brain elsewhere. Step aside and allow us to proceed with our purpose here!" Michele snapped, his teeth clenched.

“Please, let me go!” Anjali murmured, tears down her cheeks. attempted to cradle her face in his hands, but Anjali turned away, pleading, “Leave me alone!” Frustrated Alex clenched his fists and struck the window. “Is there something about my touch that you despise? You permit that scoundrel to touch and kiss you, yet you reject me? I will not tolerate anyone violating what is mine. Remember, you belong to me; no man is permitted near you. If they try, I will ruin them—and you as well,” Alex threatened. “I’m so sorry; he is my friend! I won’t do it again, I promise! Please, just let me go!” Anjali pleaded, closing her eyes and covering her ears. A smug smile spread across Alex’s face as he lifted her chin with his finger. “Look into my eyes!” he commanded.

**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

"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.

"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.

"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 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
