“Whatever, it is Nicholas, I'm happy, ”Emery said with a smile.

Nicholas smiled at her and patted her head. “You need to take care of yourself more now. Don't go moving here and there.”

“Fine, fine, ”She rolled her eyes. “Luke is busy with the kids. Why don't you take me out for a snack?”

Nicholas gave her a look.

She acted like the haughty and spoiled princess that she was once upon a time and said, “What?” She rubbed her stomach and said, “I might be carrying your nephew. Don't you want more heirs to this family?”

He rolled his eyes. “Don't be so sexist. And you don't need to use my nephew and niece for favours.”

Seriously, his sister was going to use this tactic?

He couldn't say that it was not working.

After all, he was a sucker for all of his nieces and nephews. Though, he only had and the little guy had yet to come. He was already getting controlled by the baby who wasn't born yet.

“I want Ice cream, Nicholas, ”Emery announced. “Then, I want chicken wings.”

“I can order–”

    Soon, Ellora and Nikolai moved to their new house in another state. It had been three days since their move and Nikolas had joined them to help them settle. Roseanne was alone at home with the children. During this time, she had been thinking much about what Ellora had asked her. If she were being honest with herself right now, she would have missed Nicholas so badly. If he came before her now, she would leave everything and hug him tightly. It had only been three days but she was missing everything about him. From his annoying presence to his calming scent. She wished that he was there. “Mommy!” Coco came to her room. “Leon is not playing with me! Ask him to play with me!”Roseanne was so busy being lost in Nicholas' thoughts that she didn't listen to what Coco was saying. The little girl huffed and puffed and left. “Mommy is not even listening to me,” Coco muttered. Suddenly, Roseanne's phone dinged. It was on very low volume but she still heard it. In the morning, she had sent

    “You told me that you are going to Mexico,” Roseanne said. “Oh did I?” He acted nonchalantly. She lightly punched his stomach but didn't ask any questions. “I'm hungry,” He suddenly said. “I will ask the kitchen to prepare something for you,” Roseanne said. “I don't want chef's food,” Nicholas said. “I want you to cook me something. Even if you cook me a simple meal or just butter my toast, I'll have that. I don't want anyone else to touch my food and ruin the taste and feel of your food.”Nicholas knew that it didn't make any sense but he wanted food cooked by her, not any world-class chef. He craved her and everything related to her. Even if she would make him instant noodles, he would have it. “How big is your appetite?” She asked. Nicholas opened his arms like Coco did and indicated that it was a lot. Roseanne's eyes softened seeing him acting so unguarded with her. She softly asked, “Did you get enough sleep?”“I didn't,” Nicholas answered. Roseanne understood the reason

    “You should take the bed tonight,”Roseanne said as she saw Nicholas coming out of the washroom. They didn't not share the same bed as he usually sleeps on the couch and she took the bed. “No, I'm fine,”Nicholas said. He didn't want her to sleep uncomfortably on the couch. Although the couch was big enough to make him sleep comfortably every night, he didn't want her to leave the comfort of the bed. “You are tired,”Roseanne noted. “I feel guilty making you sleep there. It's your bed. You should sleep here.” She stood in front of him with her arms crossed. “I will not budge.”Nicholas smiled at her helplessly. “How about we both sleep on the bed?”Roseanne stared at him. He added, “I'll make a pillow wall between us. Trust me, I won't try out anything naughty.”Before she could react, he added, “Even if you want me to, I won't touch you. I swear!”Roseanne rolled her eyes. “Fine.”A few moments later, they settled on the bed. Nicholas was checking his mails before going to bed while

    The following day, Roseanne was busy with some work related to her children. Nicholas had asked her to choose any room that she liked to shift there but she was avoiding this matter. From the morning, she was immersing herself in one task after another so that she did not have to think about selecting a new room for herself. It was raining the entire day and Nicholas was not home. For her, the day lasted an entire century. He returned home during dinner time. The family of four were seated at the dining table having food. Nicholas liked the feeling of having dinner with the four people he loved the most in the world. He was not tense in any way and could act the way he wished. There was no pressure on his performance over him. The meal was very light and hearty. “How are your classes, Leon?” Nicholas asked. He remembered that Leon was grumbling about his classes. “They are boring,” Leon answered. These days, the relationship between these two has smoothed a lot. Although he liked

    As Roseanne was anticipating Nicholas to kiss her, she was breathing heavily. His finger came to touch her face but before anything could happen, he wiped her nose and said, “You have moisturizer stuck to your nose.”She felt like someone poured a bucket of cold water on her. She had an urge to be angry at him. But she had no reason to act like this. In the end, she just nodded and gave him a small smile. She said, “I think we should go to sleep.”He said, “What's the hurry?”“You have to wake up early for work–” Roseanne tried to speak but he softly cut her off to say, “No, I don't. I think we should talk.”Roseanne felt restless. Was he going to ask her about shifting to another room? What if he asked about it? How would she answer him? She had not been uneasy and awkward before him for five years. She didn't know what changed between them and that she had to act in such a way. This was frustrating her to no end. “Nicholas, I didn't find the time to see another room. I was busy th

    “You look beautiful,” Nicholas said as he came to his room to find Roseanne beautifully dressed for the party. She looked phenomenal in the rose-pink silk dress. She had opted for minimal makeup but had given a subtle emphasis to her eyes. He was so mesmerized by her look that he didn't wish to go to the party thrown by Vance Taylor but rather stay at home and worship his beautiful woman's beauty. “Thank you,” Roseanne said. “Let's go. We are getting late. Coco and Leon are already waiting for us in the living room. More than us, they are excited for the party.” Vance and Bella had given special emphasis to bringing Leon and Coco with them. Roseanne thought that Leon was close to Bella, and that was why they urged them to bring the children. Anyway, she didn't have any problem bringing children to the party as she wanted them to learn social skills that she lacked as an introvert in her childhood, and later, she had to face a lot of inferiority issues due to the same. When they

    “I put the children to bed,” Nicholas said as he came to the room and saw Roseanne pouring a glass of wine. She still had not taken off her dress. “I thought you were too tired to move.”Roseanne gave him a lazy smile. “I am. But I'm also feeling good.” As she poured another glass of wine, she handed it to him. He took it without saying a word and occupied a comfortable place in the room to relax. As they were silently sipping on the wine, she asked him a question, “Do you think Vance knows Coco is his granddaughter?”Nicholas said, understanding her trail of thoughts. “You should not worry about him.”Roseanne smiled and said, “I feel bad for him. If he doesn't know that Coco is his granddaughter, he is very unlucky. He likes her so much.”Nicholas took her hand and said while caressing it, “Oh sweetheart, you shouldn't feel bad for a man like him. You should be happy when he is miserable. If he knows the power that he holds, he will destroy us.”“I don't understand,” Roseanne whisp

    “Rose, wake up!” Roseanne heard Nicholas waking her up. Since they slept late at night, she wanted to sleep more. However as she opened her eyes, she noticed that he looked very worried. “What happened?” Roseanne asked in worry. “Are kids okay?”She knew that something was certainly not right because he looked very worried at this time. He answered, “The kids are fine. We have to go to the hospital.”Roseanne asked, “What happened? Who is sick?”Nicholas took a deep breath and answered, “It is your dad. His condition is serious and we need to reach the hospital.”Roseanne was frozen for some time as she didn't know how to react. “How sick is he?”“I have no idea about it, Rose,” Nicholas told her. “Baby, I want you to be prepared for the worst. It may be the last time—”Roseanne shook her head and said, “No! Don't complete your sentence. Please. I'll get ready in a minute and we can leave.”When they reached the hospital, Mr Swift's condition was deteriorating. Nicholas had flown th

    The birthday party had ended and the Hart family gathered to leave. “Mr. King, we will take our leave now,” Leon said respectfully. Carter frowned slightly at the prospect of their departure. His gaze softened as it rested on Charlotte, “Why don’t you all stay the night?” he suggested, though even he realised how impractical it sounded. He wasn’t ready to let Charlotte leave just yet.Charlotte’s lips curved into a kind smile. “We will come to see you again someday,” she promised. “You better,” Carter replied. He stepped forward, pulling her into a hug that was long enough to draw a few curious glances from those nearby.Not far from the scene, Emily stood with Seraphina with her arms crossed and her expression clouded with irritation. Her brows furrowed as she watched Carter’s unusually affectionate behaviour. “Why is Carter being so affectionate with her? Even Seb seems to be revolving around her all evening. Just who is this girl?” she asked her tone filled with frustration.Se

    Charlotte walked into the room and noticed only a grand piano, nothing else. She looked around, confused. Did not he say that he wanted to show her the birthday gift for his father? Or was he saying it just to spend time with her? Then again. Why would he even want to spend time with her? "Where's the gift you wanted to show me?" she asked Sebastian after a while when she could not control her thoughts.He pointed at the piano with a soft smile. "There."Charlotte raised an eyebrow. "You want to give your dad a piano?"She could not think of another explanation of why would he want to bring her to a room that only had a piano in it. Sebastian chuckled and shook his head. "No," he said, walking toward the piano. He sat down on the stool and placed his fingers on the keys.The music started, and Charlotte stood frozen. The sound was so beautiful and emotional like the piano was telling a story all on its own. She couldn’t describe how it made her feel, but it was like a deep sadness m

    "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?
