“Dad, where is Matthew? Why isn’t he here with you? Doesn’t he believe me? Please trust me. I didn’t kill Alessia! I was at home the entire time,” Olivia cried. The thought that Matthew might side with Alessia over her was unbearable.

How could he do this to her? After everything she had done to be with him? She had gone to every length imaginable while sacrificing her integrity, and her morals, and even manipulating her mother into helping her eliminate Alessia. And now, Matthew’s fickle loyalty was shattering her world.

She seethed inwardly. Why was he making such a big deal out of it now?

When he wanted to marry her, he didn’t hesitate to suggest removing Alessia from the equation. If Alessia had died back then, she wouldn’t be causing trouble now. It was his idea to leave that woman vulnerable, shredded to pieces in every possible way. And now, he dared to pull away?

“I trust you,” her father, John, said gently. “Olivia, please don’t cry. Daddy trusts you.”

She clung to those word

    “How is Sia?” Leon asked, his voice shaking as the bright lights of the operating theatre turned off, and the doctors stepped out with serious expressions on their faces. One of the doctors took a deep breath and said, “We have done everything we could. But... she has slipped into a coma. The injury to her brain is very severe. We did our best, but now we can only wait and hope.”Leon froze for a moment, his mind refusing to process the words. Then his knees wobbled, and he stumbled as though his body couldn’t hold him up anymore.“Will she be okay?” Charlotte asked, her words shivering with fear as she clung to her mother’s hand for support.The doctor looked at her, his face full of concern. “Her injuries are very serious,” he explained gently. “Until she wakes up from the coma, we can’t predict anything. It is a waiting game now.”With that, the doctors left, leaving the Hart family standing in the cold hallway. The hours passed, and the night dragged on but Sia’s condition didn’t c

    Leon’s voice trembled as he made his vow, his heart aching with every word. All he could do now was hope she could hear him and feel his love even in her deepest silence.“You have been alone for three days,” Leon said, “The loneliness must have come to eat you. Loneliness is not good. I have felt it so I know. Baby, you must have your fair share of loneliness in life.” He gazed at her face, still beautiful despite the injuries that marked it, and whispered softly, his voice laced with bittersweet nostalgia. “Do you remember how we first met, Sia? I bet you don’t. But I do. Every little detail is etched in my mind like it happened yesterday. Thank God I have an eidetic memory,” he said, a faint smile tugging at his lips.“You were seven years old, completely covered in mud from head to toe,” he began, his tone warm as he painted the picture. “You were out there in my grandfather’s yard, planting vegetables with your grandmother. You looked a mess with mud everywhere. Honestly, you wer

    “Has Sia’s condition improved?” Ellora asked, her voice heavy with concern as they sat together in the living room.Abella shook her head gently. “No, she is still in a coma. There haven’t been any changes but at least her condition hasn’t gotten worse.”Ellora frowned, leaning back in her chair. “Hmm. It has been a month now and there is not even the slightest improvement.”“Grandma, let’s keep hope,” Abella said with a soft smile. “Everything will be okay. Mom and Dad are back today, and they managed to get Sia moved to a hospital in New York. She will finally be closer to us.”Ellora sighed deeply. “Everyone has just been away for so long, staying there all this time.” Her eyes scanned the room, and she asked, “Where is Nash? I haven’t seen him all morning.”“He has college interviews,” Abella explained.Ellora clicked her tongue in disapproval. “We just got him back, and now he is planning to go far away again? If he listens to us, we can just enroll him in the same college as you.

    Ellora didn’t reply immediately. She just nodded silently, absorbing her son’s words. Perhaps, her son was right. But it did not made her to stop thinking that Nicholas could be wrong. A little while later, Nash returned home. He greeted Anne and Nicholas then asked about Sia.“Belly told us you had a college interview today. How did it go?” Nicholas asked.Nash, a bit nervous, replied, “I’m not sure. I was just too nervous.”Nicholas smiled and rubbed the back of his head. “It will be fine, son. You are a bright kid. You will do great.”Nash blushed and was embarrassed by his uncle’s sudden concern and so he looked down at his feet. “Umm, where is she?” Nash asked, looking around for someone.Abella replied, “Maybe she is in your dad’s room.”At that moment, Sabrina walked down the stairs. Nash immediately ran toward her, starting to chat non-stop.“Slow down,” Sabrina laughed. “I’m right here.”But Nash wasn’t listening, dragging her to the other side of the room and continuing to

    "Hello, Sia baby," Leon's cheerful voice echoed through the room as he entered, carrying a massive bouquet of flowers. With a wide grin, he set the bouquet on the table and began arranging it in the vase. "You won’t believe it, but the florist stopped me today for a little chat. These days, I’m practically her favorite customer. I drop by two or three times a week to pick up different bouquets."As he worked, he continued, "Today, she asked me what your favourite flowers are. I told her you don’t have a favourite."He chuckled at the memory. "She was shocked. She couldn’t believe it. “How can someone not have a favourite flower?' she asked me. And I thought, how could you? They are all so beautiful. Isn’t it boring to keep getting the same ones every time?"Humming softly to himself, he added with a smile, "But I have noticed you love me just a tiny bit more when I bring you dark roses. There is something about them as they are a little more special, don’t you think?"Leon laughed, sh

    The dinner at the Hart house was lively, filled with laughter and chatter. Luke and Emery had arrived with their two kids, adding to the warmth of the evening.In the kitchen, Anne was stirring a pot of soup while Emery stood beside her, letting out a heavy sigh.“I noticed a bit of tension between you and Estelle,” Anne said gently, glancing at Emery. “Is everything okay?”Estelle, Rowan’s wife, had been the topic of many conversations since she and Rowan had eloped to Vegas and returned as a married couple.Emery frowned. “My son is making a mistake and he doesn’t even see it.”Anne smiled softly. “Now you are sounding like a typical mother-in-law.”Emery shook her head, her expression thoughtful. “It is not about disliking Estelle. I don’t have anything against her. She is a sweet girl and I have always liked her. The issue is their timing. Rowan and Estelle were on the verge of breaking up, and then, out of nowhere, they came back married. Doesn’t it feel like a rash decision to s

    Dinner was proceeding smoothly at the Hart mansion when the sound of a car stopping outside drew everyone's attention. A woman who was dressed impeccably in a fine dress, stepped out. Behind her, a line of bodyguards marched in unison and their uniforms were bearing a familiar crest.Abella turned her head toward the commotion. The moment her eyes landed on the crest, she let out an excited yell. “Mommy, Bella is here!”Without hesitation, she jumped up from her seat and ran to greet her grandmother.Ellora muttered under her breath, “She is never that excited to see me.”Even after all these years, she did not like Bella. She find it even more unbearable that her grandchildren loved Bella more than her. Emery chuckled and patted her arm. “Mom, relax. Everyone knows Bella’s the kids’ favourite. They practically worship her.”As Bella entered the grand hall, Abella flung herself into her arms with the kind of enthusiasm only a child could muster. To her, Bella was like a flame and she

    Ellora immediately stepped forward, her protective instincts flaring. “Are you out of your mind?” she snapped, positioning herself beside Rhys. “How dare you lay a hand on my grandson? Even his mother has never slapped him! Who do you think you are?”“Mom,” Nicholas interjected, his tone firm and laced with warning. “Step back.”He was not saying it because Bella was right and his mom was wrong but because in anger, Bella might end up hurting his mother. He did not wish for his mother to be subjected to Bella’s anger. Bella rarely showed such emotions and when she did, she would wreak havoc. And Vance was not even here to appease his wife. Ellora turned to her son in shock. “What are you saying, Nicholas? She slapped Rhys! She has crossed a line.”But Bella wasn’t listening. Her piercing eyes remained fixed on Rhys and her expression was unreadable but charged with emotion that was just anger and frustration. Whatever storm was brewing within her, it was far from over. He could tell,

    "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? Why are you being such a coward? We both know you still

    “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

    “Mr. King, welcome,” Kate said with a professional smile. “My boss sent me over with the revised agreement. If everything looks good to you, we can proceed with signing the contract.”“Miss Swift certainly lives up to her name,” Sebastian remarked as he skimmed through the document.Kate chuckled softly. “Her last name is Swift for a reason,” she quipped.Sebastian let out a low, rich laugh, his grey eyes glinting with amusement.Kate felt her ears heat up as her heart started pounding unexpectedly. What’s happening to me? she wondered, trying to focus. She had a boyfriend—a perfectly nice one who might even propose soon. So why was she reacting like this to a man she had just met?“Miss Kate,” Sebastian said, pulling her attention back. “I have reviewed all the clauses. I’m ready to sign.”Kate blurted out in surprise, “So quick?”Sebastian leaned in slightly, his voice playful. “I’m quite swift even without the last name, Miss Kate.”Her cheeks flushed crimson as she realized he had
