“If you cannot find me, just give me a call,” Nicholas told Roseanne as he was walking beside her and entered the big auditorium. He was attending an annual event for the business association. This time, he asked Roseanne if she would like to join him as his plus one. Luckily enough, she did not decline his offer.

Of course, he knew that she came more for her own benefit but he was glad that she came with him. Because of lawsuit on her cafe for tax evasion, her cafe was getting in losses. No matter what strategy she used, it would not work out well.

She and her financial team came up with a suggestion that she could collaborate with another company. A few names were suggested and she selected one of them. Luckily enough the planning director of the company was supposed to attend the event with the CEO. She decided to tag along with Nicholas. She was glad that even though she told him the real motive behind her visit, he didn't appear upset.

    “Oh, hi, ”Roseanne said as she saw Sabrina while she was washing her hands while Sabrina was applying lipstick. Sabrina smiled at her. Roseanne didn't know why, but she felt like she should say something to Sabrina. Then, she said, “Congratulations.”Luckily, Sabrina had won an award tonight for her brand. “Thank you,” Sabrina said. They could only talk this much as none of them knew how to move forward with their conversation given their controversial positions in each other's lives. They left soon after. When the award show ended, there was an after-party, and Nicholas and Roseanne were supposed to attend that. It was where she would be meeting that director.“Are you ready?” Nicholas asked her. Roseanne looked at him in worry and then nodded her head. “Go, I will root for you,” Nicholas said, hyping her up. She mustered up all the courage and left to talk to that director to strike a deal. While Roseanne was striking a deal, he was having a drink alone in the room. On the ot

    “I thought you would leave without meeting,” Nicholas said as Ryan took a seat next to him. He was well aware of Ryan's feelings about him. It was not that Ryan hated him. Their bond, if there was any, was hard to describe. They acted as if they hated each other but they were not. “As if I can do it,” Ryan muttered as he poured himself a drink from the bottle Nicholas was drinking from. Everytime they would meet which was often as they always encountered each other in parties and events like this. Although they didn't like each other, they stuck around. Not because they couldn't find anyone but because this unexplainable relationship was better and comfortable for them. “Why did you leave her alone?” Nicholas asked him. “She looks miserable.”Ryan scoffed. “And you care about her?”“Don't you?” Nicholas asked instead. “Each time we meet you preach how I should treat her better. Now, you left your friend in a miserable condition.”“If she's my friend, then what's she to you?” Ryan as

    “Nicholas…”Roseanne came to Nicholas with a broad smile on her face. However, it left her lips as she saw Nicholas lunging to hit the man standing before him. Before he could hit anyone, Roseanne stood in between them and held him from his chest. She was not tall enough to stop him. She could only hug his stomach tightly and stop himself from indulging in a fight. When Nicholas looked down at Roseanne, tightly hugging him, he paused in his actions and began reviewing them. How could he lose his temper during a party at Ryan?Another tall woman with shiny brown skin appeared and began to look at Ryan, checking if he was hurt. “What the hell is wrong with you?” The woman turned to Nicholas and asked in anger. Roseanne blinked her eyes. It was for the first time she saw a woman so bravely threatening Nicholas. Everytime, they would not be able to utter a word in front of him. As charming as he was, he looked dangerous. However, this woman bravely confronted Nicholas. Also, this woman

    “Nicholas…”Roseanne tried to handle him but he was too heavy for her small frame to handle. As she left the venue, the guards always following them, arrived to take him but he was not letting go of her. He would glare at the guards if they would try to touch him. The guards looked at her, helplessly. He was heavy and she was supporting his heavy and robust body. “Nicholas! Stand still,”Roseanne scolded him. “Let them help you.” When he didn't listen to her, she added, “Let them hold you to the car. And don't glare at them. The poor men are doing their work.”Instead of listening to her, Nicholas made a puppy face, resembling Leon quite at this moment. His eyes shone with vulnerability and innocence that she couldn't dare to say no to him. “Alright,”Roseanne said. “How about this I will hold your hand and you will walk to the car? I know you are in your senses and can walk yourself. Am I right?”Nicholas nodded his head. He decided to hold himself on his own. She was tightly holding

    When Roseanne woke up in the morning, she found something hot touching her bare skin. As she opened her eyes, she found her body rubbing against his. Her brows furrowed as she realised that the hot thing that she just touched was Nicholas. His body was burning like a furnace. He had a high fever, but she couldn't tell until she checked it. She got off the bed and found a thermometer to check his temper. His eyes widened, seeing that he was having a very high temperature. Immediately, she went outside to call the doctor to check on Nicholas. His fever came out of nowhere, and it put everyone under worry. Although fever was not a significant disease, it was unusual for everyone to see Nicholas fall sick. He had never fallen ill for as long as they could remember. Ellora couldn't remember the last time when Nicholas had a fever. However, during Nicholas' sick face, Roseanne was taking care of him. She would feed him food, give him medicine on time and all the emotional support. Usuall

It was the biggest mistake of her life to go back when she decided that she should focus on her current life.Throughout the journey, she was engulfed by the nightmares of all the mistakes that she had made. She wanted to forget about them but she couldn't. It was difficult for her to remember the truths that she had buried a long time ago.

    “Who do I need to bury now?” Bella asked her with a hint of sarcasm and boredom shining in her eyes. If somebody came to her for help, it was either to find something or hide it. She was excellent at this job, though she did not like to be known for this. She had far more skills that she didn't wish for the world to know. “Bella, please,” Sabrina begged her not to sprinkle salt on her wounds. Bella was the last person on earth that she would have come to help. However, nobody could help her in this aspect and thus, she had to go to her stepmother. “I do not have the urge to scratch your wounds. I was merely asking,” Bella said with a shrug. “Nicholas knows…”Sabrina said in desperation. “It won't be long until he will start digging into my past. What if he decides to dig into the time I left the USA? How will he react? I don't want him to find out anything. Please do something.” She never wanted anyone to know her secret. Especially Nicholas! If he knew about it, the consequence

    Nicholas had recovered from fever, and he had started going to work. Of course, his family was not happy about this. They urged him to rest for one more day, but he graciously refused as he had more important work to do. “Mr Clarke…”Nicholas shook hands with the man he didn't think he would see after that day again. Mr Clarke delivered the news of Nathaniel's demise and shook the Hart family. “I didn't think I would see Mr Hart again.” The man said with a chuckle. Nicholas said, “Likewise.”He decided to meet Mr Clarke because of a considerable reason. If not, he would not have come to meet the man who considered the entire Hart family as his mortal enemy. Nicholas asked him a question, “Let me ask you a question, Mr Clarke.”Mr Clarke was sitting in a cafe. His coffee was untouched as he was looking at Nicholas and trying to read him. He could see that the young mafia head came with a job that he wanted from him. Nicholas questioned, “How important was Nathaniel to you?” Mr Cla

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. You fought so hard to be here with your mom and dad.”The baby stared up at her, and Abella’s heart melted.“Yes, you’re such a strong, big girl,” she whispered, gently touching the baby’s hand.Outside the NICU, the parents expressed their gratitude; their tearful smiles reminded Abella why she had chosen this path. In moments like these, she was reminded of how beautiful it was to help save these little angels. But there were also the heartbreaking days, the ones where some angels didn’t make it.

    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? I know you two weren’t close.”Kate sighed. “Everyone coddles her too much. She is living in disillusionment. Coco and

    It was a beautiful day that was filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Anne and Nicholas’s wedding anniversary had brought the entire family together, and the house was buzzing with warmth and joy.Nicholas turned to Anne as his eyes were soft with affection. “We have been together for forty years,” he said, a gentle smile on his lips.Anne smiled back, a touch of nostalgia in her gaze. “Yes, we made it this far.”Leaning in, Nicholas pressed a tender kiss to her lips. “Thank you for giving me the chance to be your husband.”Anne’s voice was barely above a whisper as she responded, “Thank you for fighting for us.”Just then, Leon and Coco appeared out of nowhere while wrapping their arms around their parents in a tight hug. “If anyone deserves the credit, it’s us!” Leon declared with a grin. “We made sure you two ended up together.”Nicholas and Anne exchanged amused glances before nodding. “Yes,” Nicholas agreed, “and we’re very thankful for your scheming.

    “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. You’ve worked hard for this. Don’t overthink it, just enjoy this moment. You did it, Abella. I’m so, so proud of you.”That evening, the entire family gather

    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.
