Anne rose: "To burn with the fire of unrequited love and keep hoping for it to be returned one day is the greatest punishment one can bring on oneself." My life took an unexpected twist when I married the enigmatic billionaire, Nicholas Hart. Despite sacrificing my dreams and family for Nicholas, our marriage remains loveless. A glimmer of hope emerged when I discovered that I was pregnant after four years of marriage but a shocking revelation in his office shatters all of my illusion of happiness – his first love has returned after five years, reigniting old flames. Maybe, I was never enough or I was just not her. After four years of endless devotion and love, I realized my husband's heart belongs to another woman, instigating me to make a heartbreaking decision of divorcing him. Nicholas Hart has burned me with the fire of his betrayal and I was nothing but ashes. I made the most reckless decision to leave him– I faked my death to leave the man who refused to leave me even after shattering my heart into tiny unfixable pieces. ….. Nicholas Hart: She was the best thing that ever happened to me and I realized when it was too late. In the end, she became all of my 'I wish' and 'what ifs'. …. Five years later, Anne Rose Swift is living her life as Roseanne De Luca with her son in a foreign country, away from Nicholas' world. An incident causes their worlds to collide again. Will Anne Rose give another chance to her husband? Or will she move on with her new life? Are they still bound by the thread of fate? Or would they cause immeasurable pain to each other's heart again?
View MoreThe morning came, and Leon, who had stayed up late, woke up equally late. As he stirred awake, his eyes landed on Sia seated at the breakfast table, indulging in her morning sugar rush. Her plate held an extra-sweet coffee paired with some fruit on the side which was an attempt at balance that he found amusing but chose not to comment on. She had peculiar tastes, and if sugar was her thing, so be it. She knew her limits.He liked seeing her enjoying her life finally. Life was never smooth when it came to her. She had her fair share of struggled. Not just fair share but abundance of struggles. It was only after her life threatening accident that she began living her life to the fullest and not just working on autopilot. “Good morning, sunshine,” she greeted him with a bright smile.He groaned softly, walking over to her and wrapping her in a warm hug from behind. Resting his head on her shoulder, he complained, “You left me all alone in bed.”She chuckled lightly, patting his cheek a
That night, as Leon prepared to leave, Ellora looked at him with a smile. “Why don’t you stay the night? Callum and Abella are staying for Alisha and it would be nice to have you here too.”As a grandmother in her later age, all she wanted was her whole family to be surrounded by her. She wanted all her grandkids to stay under the same roof even if it was a wishful thinking on her part. Anne while noticing Leon’s hesitation decided to add with a laugh. “Mom, let him go. Sia is at home and he is probably miserable without her. Let’s face it, Leon needs Vitamin Sia more than he needs sunlight.”Ellora sighed, shaking her head lightly. “Ever since they moved in together, he visits so rarely. It’s like we hardly see him anymore.”Anne couldn’t resist teasing. “Mom, you are starting to sound like a bitter mother-in-law trying to blame everything on the woman! To be honest, Leon wasn’t exactly a regular visitor before either. If anything, since Sia came into his life, he visits more often
When Sia heard the doorbell ring, her heart skipped a beat. She thought Leon had arrived, but it felt too soon as they had just hung up the phone. Curiosity piqued, she opened the door. A smile lit up her face when she saw who was standing there.“Mama!” Nico called out excitedly, rushing into her arms.She bent down, showering him with kisses. “Aren’t you my favourite boy?” she cooed, her tenderness making him giggle.Nico wrapped his arms around her tightly while returning her kisses.“Hey, what about me?” Rhys asked with a grin as he stepped in behind Nico.Sia straightened up, surprised to see him. “Rhys, what are you doing here? I thought you were having dinner at home.”Rhys sighed dramatically. “I was excited about that too, but then I saw a devil and decided to escape here instead.”“A devil?” Sia asked, leading them inside.Rhys groaned. “We have the most annoying guest tonight.”Sia tilted her head curiously. “Who is it?”Before answering, Rhys took a deep breath and sniffed
“Did you meet Coco?” Leon asked.“I did,” Alisha said, “Abella told me that Coco may or may not have a boyfriend. What’s that supposed to mean?”Leon smirked. “It means Coco’s mysterious as always. Even I don’t know for sure.”Alisha added with a playful tone, changing the subject, “And you have got a new cutie pie at your place. He is adorable.”Leon chuckled. “Which one?”“The hot one,” Alisha teased with a grin.“Nash?” Leon guessed, laughing. “He is a good-looking kid, I will give you that.”“No,” Alisha said, raising an eyebrow with a mischievous glint. “His dad.”Leon burst into laughter. “That’s your uncle, kid!”“Hey! Who are you calling ‘kid’?” Alisha protested, lightly smacking his arm. “I’m twenty-five, Nathaniel Hart. That’s not a kid at all!”Leon smirked, clearly enjoying teasing her. “Whatever you say, little Alisha.”Before Alisha could fire back, Anne’s voice floated from the hallway. “Leon, stop irritating Alisha!”Alisha grinned triumphantly, turning to Leon. “See?
Sia was in a cheerful mood as she returned home from the Hart mansion. Feeling inspired, she decided to prepare a special dinner for herself and Leon. Usually, the chefs handled meals, but today, she sent them away and started cooking on her own as she was excited to surprise Leon.Leon had told her earlier in the day that he would be late, but now it was past nine, and he still wasn’t home. Unable to wait any longer, she picked up her phone and called him.“Sia, baby, where are you?” Leon answered, sounding surprised. “I just got home, and you are not here.”“I am at home,” Sia replied, glancing around her surroundings with confusion.But then, she heard Nico’s cries in the background of the call. Her heart sank a little as she pieced things together. “Wait... are you at the Hart house?” she asked hesitantly.“Yes, I’m home,” Leon said casually, not realizing what she meant.“Oh…” Sia whispered, a pang of disappointment in her voice.Leon picked up on her tone immediately. “What happ
"Aren’t you a bit too free these days?" Charlotte asked when she saw Sia at the Hart mansion again, sitting with Anne and enjoying cakes."Ma, look at Charlotte! She’s always teasing me just because I come here two or three times a week," Sia said, pretending to be offended. These days, she was too free. She had nothing much to do. So, she will find time and come to Anne and the two of them will have blast. "Coco, don’t trouble my Sia," Anne said with a gentle smile."Mommy, she has a perfect life, and she comes here every time just to flaunt it," Charlotte complained, crossing her arms.Anne laughed. "It’s not her fault that she is so beautiful, super talented, and has a man who loves her deeply. She has all of that because she worked hard for it. If you work hard too, you will have it.""Mommy, you have completely fallen for this demon," Charlotte grumbled. Although she was calling Sia demon, if someone else called Sia that, she would kill that person. Sia gave her a sweet, innoce
The birthday party had ended and the Hart family gathered to leave. “Mr. King, we will take our leave now,” Leon said respectfully. Carter frowned slightly at the prospect of their departure. His gaze softened as it rested on Charlotte, “Why don’t you all stay the night?” he suggested, though even he realised how impractical it sounded. He wasn’t ready to let Charlotte leave just yet.Charlotte’s lips curved into a kind smile. “We will come to see you again someday,” she promised. “You better,” Carter replied. He stepped forward, pulling her into a hug that was long enough to draw a few curious glances from those nearby.Not far from the scene, Emily stood with Seraphina with her arms crossed and her expression clouded with irritation. Her brows furrowed as she watched Carter’s unusually affectionate behaviour. “Why is Carter being so affectionate with her? Even Seb seems to be revolving around her all evening. Just who is this girl?” she asked her tone filled with frustration.Se
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
Anne Rose entered the tall building of Hart Enterprises. She recalled the last time when she came here to see her husband. Never. She had never entered the threshold of this building. "I'm here to meet Mr Hart, "Anne Rose said to the receptionist. Although she had never been to his office, the reception instantly recognised Mrs Hart. "I will inform the CEO that you are here to meet him," The receptionist said with a polite smile. "Don't ring him," Anne said with a smile. "I'm here to surprise him." "Alright, Mrs Hart, " the receptionist answered. Anne walked to Nicholas' office with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She was thinking about how he would react seeing her in his office. Things between them had been cold for a year as the incident that happened one year ago changed the entire dynamics of their relationship. If she hadn't given up on him then, things wouldn't have gotten bad with them. Clutching her purse tightly in her hand, she imagined how he was going to react to the ...
