Nicholas had called all the servants in the hall and they were standing in a line. Investigations were being made to them. Johnson and his other trusted aides were helping him in investigating while he and Roseanne were looking over the whole process.

“Did you serve Leon?” Nicholas asked the woman who looked to be in her late thirties. She was one of the oldest maids in the house and she was to serve Leon on the order of Ellora who made sure that only her trusted people were near her grandchildren. She was not going to take any chance in the service of her grandchildren.

The lady answers, “Yes, Mr Hart. It's my responsibility to look over him when he plays in the garden or anywhere else. I also take care of his other things that Madam tells me to do.”

Nicholas asked the woman, “Did you notice anything suspicious around him when he was playing in the garden?”

“Nothing much,” The lady said. Suddenly, she added, “He usually plays in the garden but most of the time he looks back as if h

    “Emery!”Nicholas opened the door to the room and entered inside. He saw his sister sitting on the bed. He didn't care how the whole room was pitch dark while it was broad daylight out. “Why do you want to hurt my son?” Nicholas asked her.Emery burst into a fit of laughter as she said, “First, I killed your wife. Now, I will kill your son!”Nicholas' eyes burned with anger. He could not see how Emery did not look right at the moment. He could not read the background of the situation and only believed her words. “If you come near him, I will throw you somewhere you can't return,” Nicholas threatened him. Emery smirked at him. “As if I fear you.”“Trust me, you will,” Nicholas said. “I will throw you will that boyfriend of yours. You both can die together!”Emery's eyes burned as she heard him mentioning her boyfriend. “Don't you dare touch him! I will kill you! I will kill your son! I will kill your family!”Emery began shouting. “Shout as much as you can but take it as a warning

    “What are you talking about?” Roseanne asked her. How could Emery recognise her? No, she couldn't. “I helped you.” Emery stared at her while she said it. She added again, “Anne, I helped you to escape this hell.”Roseanne said it again, “I don't know what you are talking about.”Emery said again, “I know you.”“Who are you talking about?” Roseanne asked. Roseanne was pretending that she did not understand what Emery was even talking about. Suddenly, Emery began mumbling. Those incoherent words were not making sense to her. She added, “I know you.”Suddenly, the nurse came inside. When she saw Emery awake, she began asking questions but the latter was just mumbling things. “Did she say anything to you?” The nurse asked Roseanne. “If she said, please don't mind her. She has been speaking incoherent things that do not make sense to anyone. You might feel that she is saying those to you but she is not.”Roseanne furrowed her brows and asked, “What does it means?”The nurse said, “Sh

    “Then, why didn't you correct it?” Roseanne asked. “I was never in the position to,”Nicholas answered, frustration evident in his eyes. “When my wife died, my sister pushed herself away from everyone. She started a new life and I kept my distance, thinking that it's what she wants. I respected her decision to be away from the family. How would I know that these things are going in her life?”If there was anything missing in his family, it was respect for people's decisions. He was respecting his sister's decision when she declared that she did not want anyone from the Hart family to come anywhere near her. He believed that it was the best thing that happened to her. “As for now, I have no idea how to enter her life again,” Nicholas said with regret evident in his voice. “As for what happened today, it's hard for me to trust this family anymore. My mother hides things from me. My father tries to kill the woman and children I love so much. My brother who left our lives a decade ago and

    “You were checking up on her?” Nicholas asked, surprised. “Why?”“What do you mean by why?” Nathaniel asked him. “She is my baby sister. I might have left the Hart family, not her. Although I couldn't meet her, I never stopped checking up on her.”Nicholas felt ashamed hearing this. Nathaniel was doing a better job at being a brother than him. However, he did not like what he was hearing. Why would Nathaniel be checking up on Emery and not on him? If Emery was his sister, he was a brother too, right? Why does this man have to do so much discrimination always? “What happened to her?” Nathaniel asked in a very softened voice. “Did your father have a hand in it?”“I don't know about my father's hand in it,” Nicholas told him. “That man broke up with her. She couldn't bear it.”“Oh…”Nathaniel reacted. “Are you not going to do anything to that bastard?” Nicholas asked him. How could Nathaniel not feel angry at that man? He felt like killing that bastard for hurting his sister. Nathanie

    As Roseanne looked out of the window, she smelled a different air. It smelled like Oranges and lemons. She would not say that it was a bad smell. She quite liked it. The landscape was beautiful with vast agricultural lands, filled with citrus trees and other fruits everywhere. The place where they were supposed to stay was a villa in a small town. She had never seen life in a small town in America as she had always lived in New York and was used to life there. Even Italy was different from here. Her life in Italy was not fast as in Italy. However, here she could feel a slowness in the air. It was comforting for some reasons. As they entered the crowded part of the village, she saw the main street occupied by locally owned businesses like family-owned diners, hardware stores, and boutique shops. It was like all those small-town romances that she read came before her eyes. She was getting the same feeling that she would while reading those books. It was weird how memories could be tri

    As they were soaking in the hot Jacuzzi, the tiredness of the whole day seemed to have flown away. It was a relaxing experience for both of them and what was more relaxing was the way they were holding conversation over a glass of wine. “What countries did you visit in these five years?” Nicholas asked Roseanne who was telling him about all the beautiful places that she had seen in the last five years. “I visited most of Europe,”Roseanne told him. “I absolutely loved all of it. However, I loved Italy the most and decided to stay there.” Taking a pause, she asked, “Have you ever thought of your dream place?”“What's that?” Nicholas asked him. “You don't know the concept of a dream place?” Roseanne asked him. Nicholas sighed, “It is not like that I don't know what you mean. It's that I don't have the luxury to think about my dream place. I never tried to think this way either. Also, I cannot even fathom uprooting my life from New York.” Taking a pause he went on to say, “Truth be to

    After sharing the emotional moment with him last night, she started a new morning, pushing everything to the back of her head. Once again, she began baking and cooking as it provided her with a sense of great joy. Nicholas was not surprised with the long line of items on the breakfast table. If that's what she wanted, he would let her. If eating all of these things would make her happy, then so be it. For her, he would gobble up the whole world. “How is it?” She asked, eagerly. “Amazing,” Nicholas told him. “What's your plan for the day?” Roseanne questioned him. “I'm going to meet that boy,”Nicholas told her. He had made all the preparations for today. That man didn't live far from here. He would go to his house first. “Okay,”Roseanne said. When Nicholas reached the place where Emery's ex boyfriend lived, he knocked on the door. Nobody came for a long time. After sometime, he knocked on the door again. A man opened the door and when he saw who was outside, he shut the door on

    “Were you not able to talk to him?” Roseanne asked him. She saw that Nicholas had been struggling to talk to Luke for a few days. It seemed that the man was a hard nut to crack.Nicholas shared his thoughts, “It is as if he is using this method to piss me off.”Whenever he would try to confront Luke, the man would do something that would piss him off. This way, Nicholas would let him go every time. Roseanne commented, “And he is getting successful too.”Nicholas was very stressed and annoyed about the whole situation. Of course, Luke managed to piss him off. He added, “Rose, there must be a way to talk to him. He is not even ready to look at me.”Roseanne asked him, “Did you try to find out why is it so?”Nicholas said, “If he will try to conversate with me, maybe I will.”Roseanne hummed. “From your talks, all I can deduce is that he is not scared of you, Nicholas. It meant he didn't fear losing anything. The threat won't work on him. You will have to knock on the door of his heart

    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?

    “So, Saturday night at Apollo’s? It’s a date,” Andrew said, taking a chance with the woman of his dreams. They were standing on the porch of the café. With Charlotte’s high-heeled boots, she stood an inch taller than him.Before she could respond, a smiling hunk with his arms crossed over his chest approached and said, “No, it’s not.”Charlotte froze at the sound of the deep, husky voice that had haunted her dreams. She didn’t dare turn around. What if it was him? What would she do? And if it wasn’t him, how would she handle the crushing disappointment?Andrew frowned at the interruption and asked, “Who are you, man?”“Why don’t you ask the lady?” the stranger replied, cocking an eyebrow.Andrew turned to Charlotte. “Do you know him?”Without even glancing at the man, Charlotte said firmly, “No.”Andrew wasn’t convinced. There was an undeniable tension between them with her avoidance and his unwavering stare. It was as if an unspoken history filled the space between them.“Well,” And
