“Nicholas?” Anne called out his name as he entered the room. “Yes?” His voice was soft as if he already knew that something was on her mind and she wanted to share it with him. Just like he expected, she said, “I want to talk to you about something urgent.”He shifted slightly, turning to face her. “Yes?”She said in a firm tone, “I want to meet my dad.”A heavy silence fell between them. Nicholas didn’t respond immediately. His face was tensed, his eyes were swirling with so many reactions that he could not hide, and she could tell he didn’t like the idea. But instead of blurting out his disapproval, he held back this time. He knew he couldn’t make this decision for her. She had the right to speak her mind without him imposing his opinions.“I am done playing Roseanne,” she said, her voice softer now. “I am done punishing him.”“What happened?” he asked. He wanted to know what changed her mind. “I miss my father,” she whispered, her eyes lowering as if admitting it felt like a bet
She stood up instinctively, her voice trembling as she asked, “Why is he handcuffed?”One of the officers replied, “Madam, he is a criminal. It is not safe to have him roaming free. He can hurt you or anyone around. Best to keep a beast like him restrained.”The words stung. Anne glanced at Nicholas who remained silent. She wanted to protest and to demand they release her father from those shackles but something stopped her. She knew Jacob’s crimes were severe in law’s eyes. Still in this moment, all she could see was her father. The man she had missed so much and the man she had loved all her life. A daughter’s bond with her father was very deep. She could not see her father in distress. Jacob said nothing. He simply stood there and kept staring at her. His eyes which were once full of pride and authority were now clouded with confusion. He had not seen his daughter in years. The woman standing before him looked so much like the Anne he remembered. She had the same blonde hair and t
“Roseanne De Luca...” Jacob whispered the name as if it were a curse.Anne nodded, a solemn look on her face. “Yes.”His voice shook. “The woman…”“It was me,” Anne confirmed. “I adopted that identity.”He was talking about the woman Nicholas had been for the last one year. He did not like her. Infact, he hated that woman because she was taking his daughter’s place. His hate for that woman knew no boundaries. However, now…Jacob’s voice broke, his words barely making it past his lips. “You gave me...”It was his daughter who gave him a part of her liver. Ever since he had the transplant, he was unable to keep calm. He hated Nicholas and that woman who he didn’t know was his daughter at that point. He spoke so cruelly to her that day in the hospital. He did not know that it was his daughter. Anne nodded again. “Yes, it was me. You were so sick, I had to help you.”His confusion deepened as he asked, “When you returned to Nicholas, why didn’t you come to me?”Anne’s expression harden
After a few minutes, Jacob took a deep breath, began to compose himself. His tear-filled eyes shifted to her growing belly, and something seemed to click in his mind. "You look... pregnant," he said hesitantly.Anne smiled warmly. "Yes, I’m six months pregnant."Jacob’s expression softened. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "Congratulations."Her smile widened which was lighting up her face. "We are having twins."Jacob's eyes widened in surprise. "Twins? That’s amazing. I’m very happy for you."Truly, he was very happy right now. He never expected to see his daughter again. Not only was she alive and well, she was going to give birth to his grandchildren. How could he not be happy about this? Anne’s heart warmed as she saw the genuine joy in his face. She was happy that he felt good about becoming a grandfather. "Are you and Nicholas back together?" Jacob asked carefully. He did not know what to feel about Nicholas now. He didn’t kill Anne, his daughter made it clea

Anne and Nicholas sat in the car after the visit. The atmosphere was heavy with unspoken thoughts. She had been silent for most of the drive as her mind was elsewhere. Nicholas glanced at her, sensing her emotional exhaustion. He understood what she would be going through after the meeting with her father. He wanted to lift her spirits even if just a little but he ended up getting failed. “Shall I stop by the café? Would you like to say hello to your employees?” he asked gently, hoping the suggestion might brighten her mood. Usually, a visit to the café brought her some joy. She liked going to her cafe and watching it bustle with people, loving everything about her cafe. She shook her head as her voice soft. “I just want to go home.” Nicholas nodded in understanding. He didn’t push further. Actually, he understood her. After a while, the car came to a stop and Anne looked at him, quite confused. Nicholas smiled slightly and gestured for her to wait for him. The driver knocked on th
Trying to distract her, he asked, "What’s this show?"Anne looked at him, surprised. "You’ve never watched Friends?"He shook his head.With a small grin, she explained, "It is a classic. This show was shot in New York in the '90s and early 2000s. It is one of my comfort shows."As they continued watching together, Nicholas pointed at the screen and asked, "What’s wrong with this girl?""Which one?" Anne asked, confused."The tall blonde one," Nicholas clarified, furrowing his brows.Anne laughed. "Phoebe? She’s the quirkiest of them all!"Nicholas, still frowning, said, "Lord, she says the most random things."Anne giggled, "That’s her specialty."Out of nowhere, Nicholas remarked, "Anne, you are like this brunette."Anne looked at him, raising her eyebrows. "Who, Monica?"He nodded.She protested, "No, I’m not!"Nicholas gave her a teasing look. "You totally are. You are a perfectionist and you care for everyone like she does."Anne rolled her eyes but smiled despite herself. “You a
Jacob was released from jail. This time, he had accepted Nicholas’s help. Outside the jail, Anne and Nicholas were waiting for him. He hadn’t expected to see Anne there. As soon as he was released, she rushed to hug him with her face beaming with happiness.He felt a rush of emotions seeing Anne and he held her hand throughout the ride. He didn’t know where they were taking him. It had been a month since Anne had urged him to accept Nicholas’s help. When the car finally stopped, he noticed the familiar surroundings and was not very surprised to see that Anne had brought him to their old house. He stayed quiet while letting his daughter and son-in-law lead him inside.Everything looked just as he remembered. The house was clean and well-maintained. It was as if someone had been taking care of it all this time. Then, the old housekeeper who used to take care of the house came out to greet him. Seeing her made his eyes well up. He learned that she and her granddaughter had been living the
