“Hey, you.”

It was Leon who reacted first when he saw Nicholas standing outside the hospital in front of a car. There was a line of men dressed in black suits, standing behind him. It looked like a scene out of an action film for him. It was quite badass if somebody asked him.

“Yeah?” Nicholas turned around to answer. For some time, he couldn't react. He could not believe that Leon was talking to him. Although it was just two words, they were enough for him to infuse a life inside him.

“Where are you going?” Leon asked him. First, he did not come to visit him in the hospital. Second, he was leaving even when he saw him. Was he someone that just anyone could ignore him? He did not like being ignored like this. He liked to be in attention all the time. He liked it more when people paid special attention to him.

Nicholas couldn't help but speak the truth. However, he was stuttering even in his truth, “I'm… I'm going back.”

Since he had seen Leon, he would go back home. His duty finish

    Everything had almost settled in Roseanne's life. Leon was at home and was properly recovering. The contact with Hart family had already minimized. Ellora had left Italy a few days after Leon came home. However, Nicholas was still there. Although he loved close by, he did not try to intrude in her life anymore. There was no movement from his side and she was peaceful about it. Since Leon was recovering Nathaniel had moved in with Roseanne. He did not want to take any risks with his family. It was a rare day when Roseanne was sitting on the patio, enjoying the sunny day. He took a seat next to her quietly. She was initially reading a book. When she noticed his presence, she kept the book down and gave him her attention. “We should adress the devil in the room,”Nathaniel told her. They had been acting for weeks that the things were normal between them when it was far from truth. Ever since she found out that he was connected to Hart family, he was unable to face her. He just did not

    “Thank you,” Nathaniel told her. He was grateful to her for listening to him and understanding him. She said many things that he had not expected from her. She called him her best friend which was the best title to give to the relationship they shared. In the world's eyes, they were a couple but the reality was far from this. However, she told him that she considered him a best friend and he couldn't refute it either. Roseanne told him, “Nathan, I trust you.”Many times, he put his life in danger for her and her son. If she didn't trust this man, who would she trust? Although he shared the same blood as Nicholas, they were not the same people. Nathaniel told her with an emotional smile, “You have no idea what these words mean to me.”He was scared that he would lose the family that he had made painstakingly. However, she understood him. He would never ask for more. It was more than enough for him. Roseanne began speaking, “Like you, I was also a part of the Hart family. I cannot ju

    “Did you try to stop her?” Roseanne asked him. Nathaniel nodded his head, “I told her that It was okay if she aborted the child and just stayed with me. I was so desperate for her that I didn't mind staying with her without any strings. She agreed in the end.”He still recalled the day when he begged her to be with him. He agreed to every stupid or selfish wish that she had. He just wanted her, nothing else. He even agreed to abortion if it meant that she would stay with him always. Yes, he loved the child way before it even came to this world but he loved the child's mother more than anything in the world. If he could take a bullet for her, he could do anything for her. Nathaniel said, “Her decision of abortion broke me but I was relieved that at least I have her.”He cried the night she agreed to be with him if she aborted the child. Hugging the ultrasound scan, he cried his heart out. But he never had the guts to tell her what he wanted. He just wanted a small family with her a

    Ellora was at home when she called Nicholas, “When are you coming back?”Things have not been cleared between them but he was still respectful to his mother. She would call him occasionally to check up on him. She was scared that her son was alone there to deal with everything that had fallen on him. She was angry at Roseanne for putting her sons through hell once again. She knew that it was not Roseanne’s fault but she needed someone to blame and that woman proved to be good at being blamed. Nathaniel and Roseanne were happy in their lives but Nicholas was suffering seeing them together with their family. The man was living a miserable life for five years blaming himself constantly for the death of his wife and now the same wife was alive and happily living with his brother. How would he be able to accept such a big betrayal? If the man was someone else, it might be a little less hurtful for Nicholas but the man in question was his brother. How could Nicholas fight against it? Nic

    “Did you forget manners? Heard you are living in slums now. Did those beggars teach you this language?” Nikolai asked his daughter in a taunting manner. When she was in this palace-like mansion she used to be treated like a princess. She was richer than any princess of a royal family yet she chose to leave the luxury of her palace for a man belonging to the slums. She forgot all the etiquette that she learned here and looked at the way she was talking to her father. It was so unlike a child of the Hart family. He could not help but curse the man who made her like this. He asked in disgust, “Did you forget to respect your father?”Emery retorted, “I would have respected my father if he deserved it!”“Enough!” His voice boomed in the room. Emery's eyes were red with anger as she said, “No, I should be saying that it's enough. How much are you going to make my life difficult?”She wanted to yell at him and shake him. Why was he doing this to her own daughter? She never hurt him but he

    “You look beautiful,” Nikolai commented as he saw Sabrina standing next to him. He was hosting a party at his house today and all the guests were swarmed around him. Coincidentally, Nicholas was supposed to be arriving home today. Of course, he was not aware of the grand plans of his father for the night. He was not aware that Sabrina was among the many people at his house at the moment. “Did you meet my wife?” Nikolai asked. Everyone was noticing how Nikolai was giving special treatment to Sabrina. This man would never do this. It was surprising for everyone to see him treating someone this special. They exchanged glances as if understanding his attention. Many people were whispering about how Nikolai wanted Sabrina to marry his son. The Taylor family who was present among the other guests could understand what was happening in everyone's head. They showed no reaction to any gossip or rumours. Sabrina replied to his question, “I haven't seen her yet.”.Nikolai told her, “You shou

    An hour ago, Nicholas arrived at the party, accompanied by Roseanne and her children. They were still in the car as he said, “You can stop firing bullets with your eyes.”If eyes could kill, he would be ashes by now. As fun as her fierce side was to him, currently, he hoped that she would stop seeing him as an enemy and consider him an ally. However, he knew that it was not going to happen anytime soon. “I will never forgive you, ”Roseanne looked at him and said. “You kidnapped me and brought me here. Of all places on this planet, you brought me here! Why?”She was so angry at this moment. She knew where he hid his gun. All she wanted to do was to move and pull his gun and shoot him between his eyes. She swore that she was always a non-violent and peace-loving woman but she wouldn't flinch an eye if it was to kill this annoying man. Oh, god, she hated him more than anything in this world. Yes, she would leave her principles just to see him suffering. Nicholas inhaled a good amount

    “You think you can fool my father?” He asked her, “He will kill you and the children if I just bought them there. You have to pretend that we were together. It was after my wife died.”What he was telling her was that she had to pretend that she had a relationship with him after his wife died. She and Nicholas lost touch after their one nightstand and when she discovered that she was pregnant, he was nowhere to be found. Then, she met a man and married him. He gave names to the children even though he knew they were not his children. The aim of this pretension was to convince his father that Roseanne was the mother of his children so they could get the protection of the Hart family. If his father found out that they were Nathaniel's children, things would get more messy. Moreover, it was the best way to prevent Anne's identity too. His father must not know that she was Anne Rose and she had children with Nathaniel. He said, “If you tell him that Coco and Leon are my children and he

    "Sebastian King. Pleased to meet you," Sebastian introduced himself, his voice smooth as he extended his hand to the Hart brothers."Likewise.”Sebastian smiled an enigmatic expression with no hint of malice or curiosity but still carrying an unmistakable poise that made it hard to look away.The introductions concluded just as more guests began to trickle in. Alessia, Leon, and Callum made their way to their designated table, while Charlotte excused herself to take a call. “So?” Leon asked, glancing at his brother. “What do you think?”Callum leaned back slightly, his sharp eyes flickering with thought. Unlike Rhys and Leon, Callum had an uncanny ability to read people. He was the observer, blending into the background while Rhys commanded attention and Leon’s charisma drew people in. It gave him the advantage of seeing what others often missed.“He’s... something,” Callum admitted, his tone measured. “Even I’m a little starstruck, to be honest. The guy isn’t just handsome, he is be

    Today was the day of Carter King’s birthday party. Along with Charlotte, Sia was invited too, and since she decided to attend, Leon was her plus one. It was not a big event but a very intimate birthday party. Still the guests surpased a few hundred. Charlotte was nervous the whole way. Thankfully, she was attending with her brother and best friend. She dragged Callum as her plus one since she didn’t want to appear alone.Sia and Leon entered first.All the while, Sebastian’s gaze was on the door as if he was waiting for someone to enter. When that person arrived, his eyes lit up, but it soon diminished as he saw her holding a man’s arm. The man looked younger, but he couldn’t tell much.When Charlotte appeared to greet Carter, she intentionally didn’t look at Sebastian, but she could feel his gaze bore a hole into her head. As Carter saw Charlotte, he forgot all the guests.He didn’t bother with formalities and hugged Charlotte. “My girl. How are you? It has been months since I last

    From across the room, someone was watching the entire scene unfold with an amused glint in his stormy grey eyes.Sebastian leaned back as his lips curled into a half-smile, clearly enjoying the drama, but there was something else in his gaze. Something deeper and darker.“Mr. King, what are you watching?” one of his business partners asked, noting Sebastian’s lingering attention.Sebastian’s eyes never wavered from the group. “Mr. Jones, I hope you don’t mind, but I just spotted an old friend. Would you mind if I went over and said hello?”“Not at all, we are done here,” Mr. Jones replied, excusing himself as he walked away.Meanwhile, Charlotte, having just made her point to Ronan, turned to rejoin her girls. But as she did, she froze. Her gaze met a pair of stormy grey eyes. Eyes that seemed to burn with a quiet intensity.For a moment, Charlotte thought it was just another mirage, a trick her mind was playing on her. She moved as her steps were hesitant, but those eyes followed her.

    Tonight, the Hart girls had planned a much-needed night out. Charlotte and Abella took the lead, guiding Sia, Kate, and Estelle to one of their favourite clubs. Over the past few days, Estelle had been spending time with Abella, and despite their age difference, the two had become fast friends. So, when Abella invited her to join the group, Estelle didn’t hesitate.Estelle had a naturally chill personality. Even though she was a bit more reserved, she knew how to let loose when the moment called for it.“Boss, I missed you!” Kate exclaimed as she threw her arms around Sia, hugging her tightly and refusing to let go.“Come on, Kate, I’m not your boss here,” Sia said, laughing as she tried to pry Kate off, but Kate clung to her like glue.“I know that! But calling you by your name still gives me the shivers,” Kate grinned mischievously. “You are scary.”Charlotte raised a brow and teased, “How can Sia baby possibly be scary?”The girls burst into laughter as Sia shot them a glare.

    “Where are you taking me, Leon?” Sia asked, her voice tinged with curiosity and amusement. He had covered her eyes with his hands and was carefully guiding her along the path. From the moment they met that morning, she could see the anticipation in his eyes. There was excitement, almost boyish, but beneath it there was a hint of nervousness, as if he wasn’t entirely sure how his secret plan would unfold.“Just a minute,” Leon replied his voice brimming with eagerness. “Once we are there, you will see.”They walked along the winding and uneven path, Sia grumbling at every step. Finally, after what felt like an eternity to her and just a blink to him, he stopped.“We are here,” he announced softly. Then, his voice took on a deeper and more heartfelt tone. “Before you open your eyes, I want to tell you—I love you so much, and I can’t wait to start this new chapter of our life together.”Sia felt her heart skip a beat at his words. Slowly, Leon removed his hands, and she opened her eyes.

    “What do you want to know about her?” Carter asked, his tone measured as he observed his son’s restless demeanour. He wondered if his son recalled anything about her? As much as he knew that stubborn yet kind woman, she would not come to him again. “Who is Charlotte?” Sebastian asked directly, his voice tinged with both curiosity and apprehension.Carter leaned back in his chair, folding his hands together. “She is your wife. Or rather, she was your wife.”Sebastian frowned. “Our divorce isn’t finalized yet,” he corrected.“Great,” Carter said with a small satisfied smile.Sebastian raised an eyebrow, surprised by his father’s reaction. “Are you happy that we are still married?”“You bet I am,” Carter replied with a nonchalant shrug.Sebastian leaned forward, his confusion evident. “As much as I know you, you are an overprotective man. How on earth did you approve of a woman who married me after what was, by all accounts, a drunken mistake?”Carter chuckled, his expression softening.

    “What’s up?” Sia asked, leaning casually against the doorframe. Charlotte was sitting quietly in her room, staring at nothing in particular.“I met Sebastian,” Charlotte said flatly, her voice devoid of any emotion.“Oh?” Sia raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance. “How did that go?”It was as if she was not sitting with Anne and scheming about Charlotte. Charlotte gave her a look. “Knock it off. I know you already know everything. Whatever you are thinking, it’s not going to happen. He asked me to sign the divorce papers, not to be his wife.”Sia stepped into the room, sitting across from her. “The real question is, do you want to be his wife?”Charlotte’s gaze faltered. “He doesn’t even remember me, Sia. And don’t forget—he loves Emily. Always has, always will.”“Did you ask him if Emily is still in his life?” Sia pressed, tilting her head.Charlotte shrugged. “How does it even matter?”“Coco,” Sia said, “How does it not matter?

    “So, Saturday night at Apollo’s? It’s a date,” Andrew said, taking a chance with the woman of his dreams. They were standing on the porch of the café. With Charlotte’s high-heeled boots, she stood an inch taller than him.Before she could respond, a smiling hunk with his arms crossed over his chest approached and said, “No, it’s not.”Charlotte froze at the sound of the deep, husky voice that had haunted her dreams. She didn’t dare turn around. What if it was him? What would she do? And if it wasn’t him, how would she handle the crushing disappointment?Andrew frowned at the interruption and asked, “Who are you, man?”“Why don’t you ask the lady?” the stranger replied, cocking an eyebrow.Andrew turned to Charlotte. “Do you know him?”Without even glancing at the man, Charlotte said firmly, “No.”Andrew wasn’t convinced. There was an undeniable tension between them with her avoidance and his unwavering stare. It was as if an unspoken history filled the space between them.“Well,” And

    “Mr. King, welcome,” Kate said with a professional smile. “My boss sent me over with the revised agreement. If everything looks good to you, we can proceed with signing the contract.”“Miss Swift certainly lives up to her name,” Sebastian remarked as he skimmed through the document.Kate chuckled softly. “Her last name is Swift for a reason,” she quipped.Sebastian let out a low, rich laugh, his grey eyes glinting with amusement.Kate felt her ears heat up as her heart started pounding unexpectedly. What’s happening to me? she wondered, trying to focus. She had a boyfriend—a perfectly nice one who might even propose soon. So why was she reacting like this to a man she had just met?“Miss Kate,” Sebastian said, pulling her attention back. “I have reviewed all the clauses. I’m ready to sign.”Kate blurted out in surprise, “So quick?”Sebastian leaned in slightly, his voice playful. “I’m quite swift even without the last name, Miss Kate.”Her cheeks flushed crimson as she realized he had
