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

    Nicholas began laughing like a maniac. “He is my brother.” He laughed and laughed until tears filled his eyes. “He is my brother. I cannot kill him even though he stole my woman. Because he is a bloody brother.”What a life he was living. He could not control anything in his life. He looked at the ceiling and said with a self-deprecating laugh, “My wife faked her death and left me.”He recalled everything that happened with him through the course of these five years, “I died every day after her fake death.”He said, “I met her again. Loved her again.”He added, “I loved her children like my own.”As if he couldn't believe it, he said, “My father orders the same children to be killed.”He added, “She hates me again because she thinks I am responsible.”He did a lot of hard work to make a space for him in her heart again. With a lot of regret and shock, he said, “And it turned out the one always helping her was my own bloody brother.”He added, “He even married her and fathered her ch

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.
