It was the last day of their stay, and after that, Oindrila and Isabella would return to Purple City with their parents. As expected, Oindrila had enjoyed every moment of the trip. Seeing her laugh so freely and smile so brightly filled her grandparents' hearts with immeasurable joy. While Isabella spent most of her time with Adrian, Oindrila was almost always seen with Alex and Autumn, especially Alex. Much like the close bond between Adrian and Isabella, Alex and Oindrila had grown inseparable over the past few days. However, while everyone adored the innocent bond between Adrian and Isabella, not everyone viewed Alex and Oindrila's closeness with the same warmth. Some watched them with quiet concern. The morning was calm and refreshing. Seated on the open patio couches, Xander and Ariadne savored their freshly brewed coffee in comfortable silence. Before them, the children's cheerful laughter echoed through the air as they ran across the lawn, chasing one another and playing wit
The birthday celebration went smoothly, leaving everyone with smiles on their faces as they enjoyed every moment of the occasion. By the following morning, many of the friends and relatives bid their farewells and returned home, while only a handful chose to stay a little longer. Mark and Jennifer's family had already left, but Oindrila and Isabella's families remained. Ariadne had requested them to stay a few more days as no one could say when they would all meet again. The children, of course, couldn't have been happier. Delighted by the unexpected extension of their time together, they spent every moment laughing, playing, and creating even more precious memories, determined to make the most of every second they had. But among all the children, two could always be found together. Adrian and Isabella. Whether they were playing hide-and-seek in the gardens, racing through the hallways, or sitting beneath a tree sharing snacks, they were practically inseparable. Their friendship ha
The warm afternoon sun cast a golden glow over the garden as the children gathered beneath the spacious gazebo. Laughter echoed through the air while they enjoyed their snacks and happily exchanged stories. Tiara, who was adored by every child in the family, sat cross-legged among them. Unlike most adults, she never treated them like little kids. She listened to them seriously, played with them, and always made them feel important. That was exactly why they all loved her. Looking around at the group of children, Tiara smiled mischievously. Her own three-year-old daughter sat on her lap, happily nibbling on cookies. "Alright, everyone," she announced. "I have a very interesting game for you." The children immediately became curious. "What game?" Alex asked. Tiara tapped her chin dramatically. "I want to know what each of you wants to become when you grow up." The older children immediately began thinking while the younger ones simply stared at her with wide eyes. "Who wants to
It was the weekend, the best part of Oindrila's life. She always waited for it impatiently. It wasn't because she didn't have to study or go to school, but because she didn't have to face her bullies or listen to their hurtful comments all day long. During the weekends, she could simply be herself. She spent her days with her grandparents, enjoying their company and finding the peace and happiness that were missing from the rest of her week. She sat quietly on the couch in the living room, absentmindedly turning the pages of a comic book. Lost in her thoughts, she didn't notice her grandmother walking in with a bright smile. Her grandmother observed her silently for a moment before settling down beside her on the couch. "Ony, sweetheart, I have something to tell you." Oindrila looked up curiously. "What is it, Granny?" Her grandmother reached out and patted her hand. "I received a call today. Alex, Autumn, and Adrian have invited you to their birthday celebration." For a second,
Clutching the straps of her backpack, Oindrila kept her head down as she walked through the gates of her school alone. The morning air was cool, but it did nothing to ease the knot in her stomach. Students gathered in small groups across the courtyard, laughing and chatting before classes began. The moment she appeared, several conversations quieted. Some students glanced at her before quickly looking away. Others looked at her with disdain, while a few commented loudly about her with every intention of making sure she heard every word spoken about her. "Look who's here. The criminal's daughter." "I heard her parents died while running from the police." "Good thing." The whispers followed her like shadows. Oindrila tightened her grip on her bag and continued walking. She had grown used to it. It was a daily occurrence. Surprisingly, even after all these years, they hadn’t gotten bored of taunting her with almost the same insults. It was as if their days would be incomplete w
When Ariadne came out of the closet, changing into a nightgown, she saw Xander pacing in the room while talking to someone on the phone. "Shit." he cursed as he hung up the phone. "What happened?" she asked, worried. Xander sat on the couch with a sigh of frustration. "Zidane escaped while h
"There will be media. Are you nervous?" Xander asked softly, looking at her face. Ariadne nodded. He tangled his fingers with hers. "I'm here with you." He flashed her a warm smile. Ariadne stared at his face, smiling. One week had passed since their passionate night. The next morning, they w
"My men seized a truck carrying women and little girls, and she was among them." Xander said. Ariadne's eyes widened in horror. "How did she end up there?" Xander sighed and sat down on the couch. They were in a different room now. "It was Zidane." "What?" Ariadne was shocked. "He has
A few days had passed, and Xander's condition had improved. He could talk without difficulty and move his body as well. Ariadne no longer stayed overnight at the hospital. It was always Jose who stayed with him in the night. But Ariadne visited Xander every day, spending a lot of time with him and t
