The next morning, Anne arrived at Sabrina’s mansion with Coco quite ready to drop her off before school. Coco had insisted that Anne come inside but Anne hesitated as she was feeling uneasy about entering Sabrina’s home. Despite her reservations, Coco eagerly dragged her mother inside.

As they entered, Sabrina was already waiting. She greeted Coco with a smile. “Good morning, Charlotte. How was your weekend?”

Coco beamed. “Pretty amazing. Thank you for sending me to Mommy’s house.”

Sabrina nodded but was at a loss for words. “Would you like to have breakfast?” she offered.

Coco’s eyes lit up. “Yes, please! Mom, can I show Mommy my room?”

“Of course,” Sabrina said, managing a smile. “Get ready and show your mommy your room while I ask the kitchen to prepare breakfast.”

Anne watched as Coco led her to her room, her small face beamoing with excitement. Sabrina’s demeanor was surprisingly warm which left Anne feeling unsettled.

When they returned, breakfast was already laid out on the tab

If it was something serious, the doctor would have said something."But Anne who was resting her head on his shoulder whispered, "Nicholas, I'm too nervous. I can't open it."Seeing the fear in her eyes, Nicholas offered, “Let me check them for you?”Reluctantly, Anne nodded and handed him the reports.

After taking a moment to calm themselves, they proceeded to meet the doctor who then referred them to the gynecologist for further check-up. The gynecologist welcomed them in the office with a reassuring smile as she seemed to know that Nicholas Hart, the owner of the hospital that was handled by his sister Emery Hart, and began to patiently explain. “All the weakness and symptoms you have been experiencing are related to your pregnancy. Although we won’t know the baby’s health until the ultrasound, it’s clear that your body is quite weak at the moment which is likely due to the fact that you are not eating enough. This might continue to affect you until the end of the first trimester. But don’t worry, by the second trimester, you should start feeling much better. You may still lose some weight, but we will make sure you g

    "That’s a coffee bean?”She laughed softly. “Well, for now, that’s our baby.”Although he knew that baby grew step by step, he didn't expected it to be that tiny. Nicholas stared in awe and replied with pure innocence, “I can’t believe that little coffee bean will grow and become our baby.”Anne grimaced playfully. “Way to terrify a woman by reminding her that this tiny thing will eventually come ripping out of me.”Nicholas instantly looked alarmed at the thought. The doctor chuckled and added, “Well, your first birth must havve given you some idea of what to expect.”“It was a C-section,” Anne clarifie. He held her hand tightly wondering how painful it would be for her and she was all alone in her pregnancy. Only if he was there to take care of her and be with her when she needed him so much. But he was a jerk to her and she had to do all on her own. This time, he would be with her throughout all the steps of this pregnancy. Noticing the shift in his mood, she added, “It's not as

    Coco and Leon pouted at his response. Anne sighed, “It’s okay, Nicholas.”Nicholas was adamant. It was his duty to take good care of her at this delicate time. “No, it’s not. They tire you out so much. I don’t want that. If they don’t like walking, I will carry them. They can tire me but not you. You are just skin and bones now, Rose. It hurts me to see you suffer.”Suddenly, Ellora laughed. “I never thought I would see my usually cold son showing warmth. But yes, he only shows it to his family. It’s good that you are showing your affection to Anne. Anne, listen to me, let him take care of you. Don’t feel guilty. Act as spoiled as you can.”Anne looked down, blushing. “Okay, Mom.”Ellora chuckled. “What a cutie pie.” She continued, “When you were young, I used to see your pictures.

    Leon looked up at Anne, his voice filled with emotion. “Mommy, are you really pregnant?”Anne smiled and nodded her head. Without hesitation, Leon hugged her tightly, and Coco quickly followed by wrapping her small arms around her mother as well. Leon was very much attached to his mother since he was a baby. Coco was always daddy’s princess– either it was Nathaniel or Nicholas. She had always connected more with her father even though she loved Anne dearly. While Leon, he had a very special bond that he shared with his mother. He felt all her sorrows and joys. Always, he strived to be better to protect his mother and make her happy.

That morning, the baby girl’s condition had been critical, but now, as she looked into those tiny, bright eyes, she felt a wave of relief.“Hey there, sweetheart,” Abella cooed, smiling warmly. “You’re such a fighter.

    Meanwhile, Kate and Rhys were sitting with Anne.“Why is Aunt suddenly changing colors?” Rhys asked.“Because she knows she was wrong and wants back what she lost,” Kate said matter-of-factly.Anne chuckled. “Kate, as much as I love your straightforward attitude, I’d appreciate it if you toned it down in front of Emery. She is… well, very touchy and fussy.”Kate shrugged. “MIL, I have a complaint. Coco and Sia had a girls’ day without me! Can you imagine? I’m trying to be as cool as them, but they left me out!”Rhys suppressed a chuckle. “Yes, Mom, they left my dear Kate out.”Anne played along. “That’s terrible, I’ll scold them,”“Yes, scold them well,” Kate agreed, then added mischievously, “but don’t tell them I snitched. Just say it was Rhys.”Anne smiled. “Alright, dear.” Then, she glanced at Kate. “I saw you have been spending time with Abella. How’s that going?

    “Did you match into your preferred branch of residency?” Madam Facci asked, excitement filling her voice.Abella swallowed. “Ma, I’m still checking the results,” she admitted. “I’m scared.”“You have nothing to be scared of, my dear. Just look,” she heard. With a deep breath, Abella entered her credentials for the residency match. Her eyes darted across the screen as the words appeared before her.“I…” Her voice caught in her throat.“What is it?” Madam Facci asked eagerly.“Pediatrics…” Abella whispered in disbelief.A joyful gasp came from the other end. “Oh my god! I am so happy for you, dear!”Abella’s chest tightened as she read the rest. “With NYU…” she murmured. “If I accept it, I will have to stay in New York.”Was she ready for this?Madam Facci’s voice was warm and reassuring. “Whatever you choose, we are proud of you.

    Augustus Hart was born a healthy, chubby baby with a bald head, looking absolutely perfect in every way. His arrival was so sudden that only Callum and Estelle were present at the hospital when her water broke. They barely had time to inform anyone, but Abella rushed over as soon as she found out.The moment Callum stepped out of the delivery room and saw his sister waiting outside, a wave of emotions hit him all at once. Without hesitation, he pulled her into a tight hug.“Congratulations, brother. I’m so proud of you,” Abella whispered, pressing a kiss to his cheek.Callum let out a shaky breath, still overwhelmed. “When did you get here?”“Just now,” she said with a smile. “How’s Estelle?”“Tired,” he admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. “Still cursing me.”Abella chuckled. “And the baby?”“Just perfect,” Callum said, his eyes softening. “Come inside. She is going to be so happy to see you.”When Estelle saw Abella, she let out a small gasp before pulling her into a long, tight

    After her divorce, Abella didn’t leave the country. Cillian had given her a staggering sum in alimony, even going as far as naming half of his assets to her, but she refused to take a single dime. She had her own inheritance. More money than she could ever need. But what could wealth do? It couldn’t buy her happiness. It couldn’t fill the void in her heart.Cillian knew her too well; he didn’t push her to accept anything. He let her go, even when it shattered him.When her mother lived in Italy with Coco and Leon, alongside her uncle Nate, she had bought a beautiful bungalow. It had never been sold, left untouched over the years. When Abella married Cillian, Leon had given her the key to that house as a quiet token of their family’s past. There were two bungalows beside each other, one where her mother had raised her two older siblings, and the other where her father had stayed, the place where her parents had met and reunited. One had been passed down to Charlotte, the other to Leon.

    Cillian stared at her, his throat tightening as he heard the finality in her voice. He had imagined this conversation a thousand different ways, but none of them had prepared him for the calm and almost serene acceptance in her eyes.“Abella…” He whispered her name like a prayer, like a plea. “Can we please rethink this?”Abella smiled. It was a soft, bittersweet smile that made his chest ache.“Cillian, there is nothing to rethink,” she said gently. “Alessandro came to see me. He told me that he was leaving the country with his mother. He said he doesn’t want to come between us, that he would be happy if you called him once in a while and only if it was okay with me.” She let out a humorless chuckle. “That’s too big of a burden for me to carry. I mean, I don’t care how you navigate your relationship with your son. But I will give you one piece of advice: don’t be a jerk. Don’t hurt one more person. You have already hurt me, you have hurt him, and you have hurt his mother. Stop making

    Cillian reached for her hand, his grip firm but trembling as well. “Abella, please listen to me. I’m sorry. I made a mistake by not telling you the truth. Can you please forgive me?” His voice cracked with desperation.She looked at him, her expression unreadable. “I don’t know,” she said softly.Cillian’s breath hitched, and he tried again. “Please, I’ll change. I’ll work on myself. Just give me a chance.” His hands clenched at his sides as if willing himself not to break apart. “I don’t want to see you like this, so shattered. You mean so fucking much to me. Please.”But to Abella, his words felt like echoes in an empty room. They were hollow and weightless. Once upon a time, she had longed to hear them, had dreamed of a moment where he would look at her like this, beg for her, choose her. But now? Now, they felt unimportant. They meant nothing.She exhaled, rubbing her temple. “I heard you. But my head is splitting apart, Cillian. Can you please just go back to your house? I just w

    Madam Facci looked at her son, her expression undecipherable. She had seen Cillian walk through storms without flinching, but today, he stood before her looking utterly wrecked. His usually sharp eyes were bloodshot, his arm wound had reopened, staining his sleeve with fresh blood, yet none of that seemed to matter to him or anyone at this point.“What do you want, Cillian?” she asked, her voice firm but not unkind.“I’m here to see Abella,” he said. His voice was hoarse, almost desperate.Madam Facci crossed her arms. “I’m sure you have no idea what happened last night.”“I know,” he admitted, running a hand through his already disheveled hair. “I just want to explain things to her. She is overthinking this, and there is nothing much to overthink. I just—” He exhaled sharply. “I just want to make everything okay.”A wry smile tugged at Madam Facci’s lips, but there was no amusement in her eyes. “Son,” she said, “we can never tell someone what is worth overthinking or not.
