“Are you feeling alright?” Roseanne asked Ellora as the latter stopped crying. There was an air of awkwardness between the two of them after the crying session.

Ellora did not realize that she would lose control of her emotions in front of Roseanne in such a bad way. She nodded her head, “Yes.”

Taking a deep breath, she added, “I am sorry for troubling you. It's that I just could not control my emotions.”

Her hidden emotions surfaced outside today.

Roseanne softly smiled, “It’s okay. I understand.”

Until this moment, she never tried to understand that her death might have affected anyone. She thought that she was only leaving Nicholas. But seeing Ellora crying for her broke her heart. When she was pushed into depression, she could not see any light in her life. She couldn't see that there were people who loved her or cared for her. Even if she could see people caring for her, it was her inferiority complex that would hit her each time and make her think how anybody could like her. Sh

    When Nicholas reached the hospital, he saw Roseanne was waiting in the lobby. She seemed stressed about his mother as she was constantly walking back and forth. When she saw Nicholas, she walked to him immediately. Roseanne explained to him, “The doctors said that she is fine but she will be awake in some time.”The doctors were not explaining anything to her as she was not a family member. On constant imploring, she found out that Ellora was not in any grave danger. “What happened to her?” Nicholas asked her. This morning, when he met his mother, she seemed like her usual self. He did not notice her being sick. What happened in a couple of hours that she had to be hospitalized? Roseanne said, “They did not tell me. They were waiting for you.” Taking a pause she said, I will take you to the doctor’s cabin and he will explain you.”She took him to the doctor’s cabin who explained that Ellora fainted because of high blood pressure. The doctor told him, “The patient seemed to be unde

    “Will it be okay if I see her?” Roseanne asked him in hesitation. Nicholas told her, “Yes, you can come with me.”He did not understand why she needed to be very formal with her. She could just drop this formality between them and everything would be normal. Roseanne shook her head, “No, Mr Hart. You meet your mother first, I will see her later.”Nicholas didn't force her. He went inside to see his mother. Sometimes, he wished he could know what was going on inside her head. Later, Roseanne Joined Nicholas after giving mother and son some alone time. She did not want to interrupt the emotional moment between mother and son. Ellora was pleasantly surprised to see Roseanne behind her son, “Roseanne, you came to see me?”Nicholas answered, “You fainted in her cafe, mom.”Suddenly, the events of the day began getting clear to her. When she woke up, everything was hazy. She did not properly remember anything. Seeing Roseanne made her recall everything, “Oh, I am sorry for worrying you

    When Roseanne entered the kitchen, she poured water for Ellora. As she was returning to the room, she happened to see Nicholas on the way. Unspoken rage came to her as she said to him, “You should not leave your mother alone in this situation.”Just yesterday, he was talking about being such a bad son and today he went out, leaving his sick mother at home. Was his sadness even real? Nicholas tried to explain, “I didn't want to. I had work—”Roseanne was in no mood to listen to his bullshit. She scolded him by saying, “Mr Hart, is work more important than the health of your mother?”“How much more money do you want?”She asked him. He was richer than any man on the planet. Still, he wanted to earn more. For this stupid goal, he was ready to leave his mother all alone. Nicholas said, “It's not always about money”She asked, angrily, “Then, what's it about? Ego? Honour? Prestige.”She further said, “Our parents aren't always here for us. We should take care of them while we can. Not eve

    “Have you ever been to Roseanne’s house?” Ellora asked her son who was reading reports. “What shall I bring for the children?”She had recovered a lot in the last week. Roseanne and Nicholas were taking turns to make her feel better. The kids were visiting her every day. They would take her for walks to the beach and entertain her. She felt very good in their company. Nicholas looked from his laptop and said, “No, I have not been to her place. And the kids love anything sweet.”“Hmm,” Ellora reacted. “What is going on with you and her?”It was not that she could not notice how her son would act around Roseanne each time she was here. He would try to draw her attention by annoying her. Although Roseanne would give him attention, it was mainly to scold him or give him a long lecture. He would not speak a word each time she was lecturing her. Nicholas quickly reacted. “What is going on between us?”“You like her,” Ellora quickly said. It was written all over his face. “What do you mea

    Before Ellora could ask the children, Coco yelled, “Mommy!”“Were you waiting for me for a long time?” Roseanne asked as soon as she reached. She looked for the children and Ellora all over the house only to find her in front of the memory wall. “No, Mommy, we were not,” Coco and Leon said. “We were showing grandma our childhood pictures.”Roseanne smiled and came to stand next to Ellora. She looked at the picture fixed on the wall and sighed, “It's scary how time changes. There was a time when I had never expected that today would come. I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self that one day you will meet a man who will change your entire world.”Ellora turned to look at Roseanne who was smiling while staring at Nathaniel’s picture. “If not for him, I would never have these wonderful children.”What was gratitude and friendship in Roseanne's eyes was mistaken as love by Ellora at this moment. “Are you talking about your husband?” Ellora dared to ask. Roseanne paused f

    Thankfully, Nicholas did not realize that Roseanne called Ellora as mom. Perhaps, it was because he was lost in worry about his mother. Whatever, the reason was she was glad that he didn't notice anything or else she would be unable to answer him. Roseanne asked, “Shall we go to her?”Ellora sat by herself, sitting with a sad expression, as if wishing someone would come talk to her. Watching Ellora sad, her heart ached, wishing the former had someone to talk to. However, Nicholas did not seem to agree with her. He had some other thoughts about the whole situation. Nicholas gently held her hand, preventing her from approaching Ellora, and suggested, “I think we should let her be with herself.”For some reason, he believed that his mother needed space to be sad. Roseanne found herself agreeing with Nicholas's recommendation. Inside her, there was a subtle acknowledgment that maybe at this moment, he was right. Standing side by side, they kept a respectful distance, giving Ellora the

    “Hello,” Roseanne smiled softly as she saw Nicholas arriving with Ellora. The kids ran to them and he caught Coco in the air while Leon stuck to Ellora. They loved to be with her as much as they could and vice versa. Coco was spoiled rotten by Nicholas while Leon was getting quite attached to Ellora. "Hi," Nicholas warmly greeted her. Adorned in an emerald-coloured dress, she looked absolutely stunning. The vibrant colour complemented her tan skin and set off the radiant contrast with her red long hair. He could not move his eyes away from her figure. If her beauty was once soft and soothing, it now exuded a bold and cutting-edge allure."I saved us the best table," Roseanne announced, leading them to a spot where a live band serenaded the room. The ambience was adorned with captivating decorations, mesmerizing everyone with its beauty. As luck would have it, it was Valentine's Day too, and the air was filled with the joyous presence of couples celebrating their special day. The cafe

    “Mom, are you sure that you don't want to come with me?” Nicholas asked. It was the day of the festival where all of them were accompanying him. However, his mother just dropped a bomb on him, saying that she would not be able to attend it. As much as he understood her situation, he badly wanted her to attend it. If she didn't attend, Roseanne wouldn't come with him either and he wanted to spend quality time with her. “I have a cold,” Ellora said, blowing her nose. “You all can go. I don't think I can bear the noise and cold weather.”She didn't know what was wrong with her son who was insisting on attending a festival that he never showed interest in before. At the same time, Roseanne and the kids came to their house. They had gotten ready for the event. Nicholas told them that they all would go together and she didn't need to drive separately. “Don't break the children's hearts,”Ellora said. Although she could not go, she didn't want children to feel sad about it. It would break

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

    “Coco, did you reach?” Sabrina asked over the phone. She was thrilled that her daughter was on a date. She was so grateful to Sia for making it happen. Seriously, no one else would have the guts to pull what Sia did. Charlotte glanced at the café Sia had booked. It wasn’t just any café—it was Anne’s Café. Seriously, was Sia so unoriginal? Or was she planning something?“I did, Mom,” Charlotte replied. “He is here. I will call you later.”“Have fun, sweetie,” Sabrina said. “Your daddy and I are rooting for you.”Charlotte hung up and took a deep breath. She looked over at the table and saw the charming Andrew Jackson sitting there. His curly hair was his best feature, paired with a smile that could sell anything—even to the devil himself.She walked over, took a seat, and said, “Hello, Andrew. I’m Charlotte.”Andrew looked up and gasped. “Damn, it must have hurt when you fell from heaven.”Charlotte rolled her eyes. “Too cheeky and old, but I will take it. And not heaven—a demon brough
