When Roseanne reached her cafe, the police had already arrived. Her heart broke seeing how her cafe had been ruined. The newly built flower section which was in the front had taken the entire brunt. Tears pooled in her eyes seeing her hard work getting ruined by a group of goons.

“Miss Deluca?” The officer in charge began talking to her. “We have been working to find the people who did this. We tried checking your CCTV but we couldn't find anything there.”

“How is it possible?” Roseanne asked him. The CCTV was working perfectly till the time she was there.

“Miss Deluca, your CCTV was not working when this incident took place,” The office informed her. “We are working on the case. If we find something, we will inform you.”

The officers left soon after. Maria sent Roseanne home as there was nothing that they could do.

Roseanne couldn't reach Nathaniel but she texted him, explaining the situation. As she reached home, it was almost morning and still she could not sleep a wink.

    Saying this Roseanne left, leaving Nicholas behind. For some time, he was standing there, unable to move. He could not take her words out of his mind. Her eyes burned Anne Rose's, the same way she asked him for divorce that day five years ago. At that time, he didn't take his wife seriously and as a result, he lost her forever. However, he was not going to commit the same mistake again. He wanted to ask her what she meant. Why did she look, sound and feel like Anne Rose at this exact moment? The more he accepted that Anne Rose and Roseanne were two different people, the more there would be instances that forced him to think otherwise. He ran behind her. He wanted to get answers from her. She was still halfway. He grabbed her wrist and made her look at him. She yelped as he pulled her towards him. Her bloodshot eyes glared at him. “What's your problem, Nicholas Hart?”“I don't know,” Nicholas told her. “Tell me, what did you say that I am your problem as if I ruined your life?”Wit

    When Nicholas came back Sabrina was sitting on the sofa, acting as if she did not see anything odd. She wanted to fire questions regarding her doubts but she prevented herself from doing so. When Nicholas saw Roseanne for the first time, she noticed a spark in his eyes but she had no clue that the spark would turn out to be something this big. “How are you?” Nicholas asked as he took a seat next to her and handed her the water glass. “I'm good,” Sabrina told him. “I was going to drive out of the city for some work and wondered if you would be interested in joining me.”Recalling Roseanne, he shook his head and said, “Maybe, next time, Sabrina. I'm quite busy.”Sabrina snickered inside. Of course, she understood that he was quite busy with a new woman who was just a few tries away from falling into his bed. She knew how Charmin Nicholas could be and even if Roseanne hadn't agreed to sleep with him, she was just dilly-dallying. Nicholas would convince her sooner and she could not see

    Roseanne had dinner with her kids, tucked them in the bed and poured a glass of wine for herself as she took a seat near the window, looking at the bright moon. The dinner was anything but uneventful. The children were over the moon to be here. As for her? She was miserable ever since she saw Nicholas and Sabrina together. She told herself many times that it didn't matter if they were together. However, she would be lying to herself if she said it didn't hurt seeing them together. She had loved Nicholas to the point of losing her sanity but he threw all away for a woman who left him. If she had known that he was in love with a woman, she would not have chased after him. She would not have dared to fall in love with him. Only if she knew. Now that she looks back, she realises that she has always been kept in the dark about a lot of things. Be it her husband's real identity, love life and the main reason behind their marriage. She couldn't help but feel disgusted for marrying such a m

    While Nicholas and Sabrina were sitting together, consoling each other, a man was sitting in the dark on the other side of the room. There was a long scar on his face. He was smoking a cigar with his comrade. “That man looks like Nicholas Hart,” The man with a long scar on his face said to his comrade. “How can it be him?” His comrade Tito asked. Why would Nicholas Hart be in such a backward town which didn't even have everything to cover his basic amenities? It was even hard to get mobile reception here. How could Nicholas be here? Tito reminded him, “Europe is off-limits to him.”Everyone in the Mafia business knew that Europe was off-limits to Nicholas. He couldn't just come here and do anything. It belonged to someone else. Everyone had to respect the rules. Jack grumbled, “It's Nicholas Hart. I remember that bastard.”“Are you sure Jack?” Tito asked. He looked grimly at his comrade and said angrily, “What makes you think that I can forget the man who gave me this gruesome s

    “Miss Deluca.”“Miss Taylor.”Both the ladies had not expected to come face to face with each other this soon. They spent the day busy with their work. Not meeting with each other was better for them but now that they had met, they put on a fake smile and began faking it. With Nicholas, Roseanne didn't have to fake but since Sabrina was her client, she had to stay polite and couldn't act like she usually did with him. “Why don't you join me for a drink while we talk about our partnership?” Sabrina asked. Roseanne didn't understand what Sabrina was doing here. Still, she took a seat. On the other hand, the bitch inside Sabrina had arisen. Nicholas had gone to bring her medicine from the room that she had forgotten. She wanted to show Roseanne that if the latter had any kind of interest in him, she should back off. She was trying to lay her claim on Nicholas Hart. Sabrina and Roseanne seriously began to discuss their deal. As Roseanne slipped into a relaxing mode with Sabrina, Nich

    “Roseanne, leave him,” Nicholas said, trying to detangle her from the man’s body whose nose he had just bloodied. “He is not your man. Leave him.”He was so angry at this time that he could kill anyone who dared to mess up with him. He wanted to bend her on his knees and punish him for touching inappropriate men. Why on earth did she drink when she knew that she couldn't behave? She could do anything she wanted with any man. He shouldn't care. But he couldn't let anything happen to her, at least on his watch. And if any man dared to come near her and let her take advantage of him, Nicholas swore that Johnson would have to spend all night digging graves and handling dead bodies. “I will press charges,” The man said while wiping his bloody nose. “I won't leave you and her. You broke my nose when I was getting harassed.”“I'm sorry,” Nicholas threw an apology at the man while he pushed Roseanne away from him. She was squirming in his hold. She was trying to get out and fly in the world

    Nicholas took a deep breath seeing the scene unfolding in front of his eyes. Never in his wildest dreams did he ever imagine getting stuck in a scene like this? Once she was naked from the top, she began unbuttoning her pants. She was having little trouble doing so but in the end, she tugged at her pants and removed them too. He saw the woman lying on his bed like a nymph, merely wearing red panties. However, it wasn't her alluring naked body that caught his attention but the constellation of freckles covering her entire back and shoulders. He acted on his instincts. He made her face him and palmed her breasts to notice a mole under the left one just like he remembered. Thinking that it might be a coincidence, he began looking for other moles that he recalled. He found all of those moles on Roseanne's body. He stood there, struck by a whirlwind of emotions, as the realization sank in. The woman before him wasn't just any stranger; she was Anne Rose, the one he had loved and lost. She

    Nicholas stood on the bridge, his gaze fixed on Sabrina conversing with the artists, but his thoughts were elsewhere. Anne Rose lingered in his mind, the woman he had spent the previous night with. The woman was his wife and died five years ago. The woman who was supposedly alive. As happiness brings, it also raises a lot of questions in his mind. The noise of those questions was so deafening that he left her alone in the room and came with Sabrina to this village to find some silence. Here he got the space and opportunity to be with his thoughts as neither the image of Anne Rose was there to distract him nor Sabrina was firing questions at him. When he woke up this morning, Anne Rose was still sleeping. For a long time, he believed that finding Anne Rose was a part of his never-ending dream that he saw almost every night but when he studied her naked figure again this morning, he realized that it wasn't a dream and she was really alive and was living as Roseanne.

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

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.
