“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

    Nathaniel and Roseanne were at the hospital. The next day Leon's condition had improved a bit. He was out of danger but he still needed critical care. All night they were in the hospital and were just rushing. It was only when Leon's condition improved, they could relax. As they were sitting in the waiting room with Coco sleeping in Nathaniel’s lap, Roseanne said, “Thank you, Nathan. Thank you for being here for us all the time. If it was not for you, I would not know who to run to. Every time I am in trouble or difficulty, you come to save me.” Her eyes became teary as she added, “If God made my life miserable by adding Harts in my life, he also sent you. I wish I could know how to repay you for the things you did for me.”Nathaniel sighed, “We are family. You shouldn't say it. Leon is my son. He has been my son since the time I held him in my arms. I will always be here for my son and his mother. No matter what.”Roseanne let out a teary smile,” How can you be so selfless?”“Trust

    In the hallway of the hospital, Nathaniel held Roseanne's hand and asked her to stop. He said, “Please listen to me once.”Roseanne smiled, pointing behind him, “I don't think it's the right time to talk. We should focus on Leon’s well-being for the while.”Nathaniel turned back to find Nicholas following them. He nodded his head, indicating that he was aware of what she was talking about. “Alright, when you are ready to talk, you can find me.”Nathaniel and Roseanne returned to the waiting room where Coco was sitting there. Seeing her parents, she said, “Mommy and daddy, where were you?”“I'm sorry, baby,” Roseanne quickly said. “I went to find your daddy. But we won't leave you alone now.”Coco hugged her mother. After Leon's accident, she was scared to let her parents go out of her sight. She wanted them to be always around her. Her tiny heart was scared after seeing her brother wrapped in bandages. The incident had left a very big scar on the child's heart. “Okay, Mommy, ”Coco sa

    “Hey, you.”It was Leon who reacted first when he saw Nicholas standing outside the hospital in front of a car. There was a line of men dressed in black suits, standing behind him. It looked like a scene out of an action film for him. It was quite badass if somebody asked him. “Yeah?” Nicholas turned around to answer. For some time, he couldn't react. He could not believe that Leon was talking to him. Although it was just two words, they were enough for him to infuse a life inside him. “Where are you going?” Leon asked him. First, he did not come to visit him in the hospital. Second, he was leaving even when he saw him. Was he someone that just anyone could ignore him? He did not like being ignored like this. He liked to be in attention all the time. He liked it more when people paid special attention to him. Nicholas couldn't help but speak the truth. However, he was stuttering even in his truth, “I'm… I'm going back.”Since he had seen Leon, he would go back home. His duty finish

    Everything had almost settled in Roseanne's life. Leon was at home and was properly recovering. The contact with Hart family had already minimized. Ellora had left Italy a few days after Leon came home. However, Nicholas was still there. Although he loved close by, he did not try to intrude in her life anymore. There was no movement from his side and she was peaceful about it. Since Leon was recovering Nathaniel had moved in with Roseanne. He did not want to take any risks with his family. It was a rare day when Roseanne was sitting on the patio, enjoying the sunny day. He took a seat next to her quietly. She was initially reading a book. When she noticed his presence, she kept the book down and gave him her attention. “We should adress the devil in the room,”Nathaniel told her. They had been acting for weeks that the things were normal between them when it was far from truth. Ever since she found out that he was connected to Hart family, he was unable to face her. He just did not

    “Thank you,” Nathaniel told her. He was grateful to her for listening to him and understanding him. She said many things that he had not expected from her. She called him her best friend which was the best title to give to the relationship they shared. In the world's eyes, they were a couple but the reality was far from this. However, she told him that she considered him a best friend and he couldn't refute it either. Roseanne told him, “Nathan, I trust you.”Many times, he put his life in danger for her and her son. If she didn't trust this man, who would she trust? Although he shared the same blood as Nicholas, they were not the same people. Nathaniel told her with an emotional smile, “You have no idea what these words mean to me.”He was scared that he would lose the family that he had made painstakingly. However, she understood him. He would never ask for more. It was more than enough for him. Roseanne began speaking, “Like you, I was also a part of the Hart family. I cannot ju

    “Did you try to stop her?” Roseanne asked him. Nathaniel nodded his head, “I told her that It was okay if she aborted the child and just stayed with me. I was so desperate for her that I didn't mind staying with her without any strings. She agreed in the end.”He still recalled the day when he begged her to be with him. He agreed to every stupid or selfish wish that she had. He just wanted her, nothing else. He even agreed to abortion if it meant that she would stay with him always. Yes, he loved the child way before it even came to this world but he loved the child's mother more than anything in the world. If he could take a bullet for her, he could do anything for her. Nathaniel said, “Her decision of abortion broke me but I was relieved that at least I have her.”He cried the night she agreed to be with him if she aborted the child. Hugging the ultrasound scan, he cried his heart out. But he never had the guts to tell her what he wanted. He just wanted a small family with her a

    "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
