Ellora was standing in front of the window, looking out at the serene night beach view. Suddenly, a car stopped in front of the main door. A man stepped out of the car and was entering her house gate. She instantly recognised the man. Since she did not want him to come across Nicholas, she ran to open the door. If he rang the bell, Nicholas would get up and they would come across each other. She ran to open the door. Before he could ring the bell, she opened the door, startling Nathaniel. “Nate,” She whispered. She was emotional to see him in front of her again. Last time, he left without even saying anything to her. “Can you call Nicholas Hart?” Nathaniel asked him, blankly. He did not want to waste time on anything and just wanted to do what he came here for and leave immediately. “No,” Ellora said. “You cannot meet him. If you want to say, tell me.”She did not want Nicholas and Nathaniel to come across each other. Nathaniel stared at him for a while and he said, “Okay. I wan
After that night, Roseanne and Nicholas maintained their distance. Ellora ensured Nicholas kept his distance from Roseanne and the children, fulfilling her promise to Nathaniel. Meanwhile, Roseanne's guilt prevented her from reaching out to Nicholas. She realized Nathaniel had worked hard to provide her with a good life and that she shouldn't jeopardize her family's security for fleeting happiness.On the other hand, Nicholas began treating Roseanne the way she had always hoped, which only deepened her attraction to his attention. However, this attraction was morphing into a dangerous attachment and she was certain that it would have lethal consequences in the future. If possible, she had to stop her contact with him instantly. For weeks, they were calling each other frequently. It had become a habit to talk to him daily. And suddenly, they were not on talking terms. This major shift in her life was not acceptable to her easily yet she was working through it. For a week, the childre
“Did you hear something?” Ellora asked Johnson who was standing next to her in the garden while she was sitting on the lawn. Johnson sent a guard outside to check on the matter and the guard came with the information. “Madam, there is an accident in the neighbourhood,” The guard informed her. “It's the child that came here that got involved in it.”“Child?” Ellora asked with dread in her heart. Please, no…“Which child?” She questioned, praying that it was not one of her grandchildren. “It's the little boy,” The guard came with the information. “The neighbours said that the boy was in the car when a truck came out of nowhere and hit it. He is injured. The neighbour's doctor is giving him first aid while the ambulance is on the way.”“Send the emergency aid to the children immediately,” Ellora ordered. Along with a security team, an ambulance and a team of doctors were always ready to aid the Hart family if they were hurt. She ordered her guards to send the aid to Leon. If they wai
“Doctor, how is my son?” Roseanne asked when the doctor exited Leon's room. She had been waiting for an update. She inquired a lot of nurses but none of them gave her a proper answer. It seemed they did not know what was going on inside the operation theater. This made her more stressed about her son's condition. The doctor's answer put her in a further predicament, “The child has critical injuries. We performed the surgery but he is still in a critical condition. Only after observing him, can we say anything.”Roseanne’s tears flowed uncontrollably. Why was this happening with her son? What wrong did he do to deserve all of this? At this time, Nicholas was not here as he was resting after donating blood. Sitting alone in the empty hallway took a toll on her heart. She was sitting alone at this time when her phone rang. It was Ellora who was calling her to inquire about Leon's condition. She was so thankful that there was someone to talk to. Roseanne could not control her tears as
“Nikolai! Do you have a heart?” Ellora screamed from the other side. How could he harm a child like that? She understood that he was not supposed to harm Leon but Roseanne. How dare he get the courage to hurt someone his son liked? Was he not scared of his son's wrath? He already had such a fucked up relationship with his son and why was he hellbent on ruining it further? She wished that she was near him. She would have shaken him and asked him how the hell he amassed such courage to do something so stupid. Nikolai laughed from the other side. “Of course, who does not have it?”He was feeling quite the villain that he was. He felt good just feeling about the result of his action. That nobody woman would not think of trapping his son anymore. “How can you do this?” Ellora questioned him again. Nikolai chuckled and asked, “How can I not do it?”He further added, “I asked you to follow my orders. Instead, you left home and decided to stay in a foreign country with your son who has no
On the other hand, Ellora sent Johnson to Nicholas to inform him about everything that transpired. Nicholas needed to know what his father did. If Nikolai could hurt Roseanne and his family once, he could do it many times because she knew what kind of man he was. He failed in killing Roseanne and Leon got hurt instead. What if this time he aimed for Roseanne? Ellora dared not to think about the consequences of Nikolai’s craziness. She regretted not telling her son about Nikolai's intention of setting him up with Sabrina. He was obsessed with setting an alliance with the Taylor family for his benefit. Nicholas must know the craziness his father was up to or something worse was going to happen to her family. Initially, she didn't tell for fear of fragmenting her family but she couldn't delay anymore. If he got hurt because she didn't tell him about these things earlier, she would bear his anger. It was her mistake to hide something big like this. Currently, Johnson was inside the r
“Anne, trust me. I did not hurt Leon. I could never bear to hurt him. I love him. Please listen to me,'' Nicholas tried to grab her but she screamed and pulled her daughter back. She was not ready to be anywhere near him. She hated him. She hated his sight and excuses. If he thinks that she would trust him and be near him, he has another thing coming! She pushed him back when he tried to hold her again. Coco had woken up at this time with all the noises around her. However, she was so scared to see this incident that she kept her eyes shut, “No!” Anne threatened him, “You will not come anywhere near me or my family. You almost killed my son and you will kill my daughter too!”“Please Anne! Please!” Nicholas was begging her to listen to him. He would explain everything to her but she was not ready to hear the truth. She did not want to listen anything to a murderer like him. He used to hurt other people before and now he was harming his own son. Only if he knew what he and his family
When Roseanne was losing herself in grief, she was not watching where she was going. She had been carrying a sleeping Coco and did not see where she was going and almost stumbled but someone appeared and grabbed the girl and her mother a while later. She looked up to find a familiar figure and hugged him. She was so thankful that he was back. To see a familiar face when nothing was going right was the only thing she wanted. “Nathan!” She cried, hugging him. “Hush,” Nathaniel hugged her back. Pointing at the Hart family, she said, “They killed our Leon. He is in hospital fighting with life.”Nathaniel nodded his head, “I know.”She apologized to him, “I am sorry I trusted them.”She should have been careful with who she was trusting but she didn't listen to him or care about his efforts. Going against him, she went near Nicholas which she should have never done even in her wildest dreams. Nathaniel told her, “You are not one to blame.”Nicholas looked at the figure at the door in ut
