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 MoreAfter Roseanne emerged from a critical state, she slipped into a coma. The doctors were uncertain when she would awaken—five days passed with no indication of her regaining consciousness. Nicholas struggled to function for those five days. Others in the family were not in worse condition than him.The open shooting at the wedding disturbed the entire family, especially the children who were the most affected.The Hart family launched an investigation into the perpetrator of the attack. The assailant who shot Roseanne was discovered dead in an alley shortly after the incident. The individuals who eliminated the assailants belonged to a local gang and were hired by an anonymous individual via phone. They operated solely for monetary gain and were indifferent to the identity of their clients, focusing only on the price offered.In the midst of the investigation, Mrs. Taylor's active participation stood out as a fascinating element. Nicholas found himself deeply impressed by her extensive
The wedding ended. Emery left with her husband for their honeymoon. Only a few guests and the Hart family were left there. A car stopped outside the venue, and Mr Taylor came out. Her red heels rattled against the floor as she marched inside the church. A frown was marring her perfect face. She stopped at one point and looked at everyone in the crowd. Her eyes were trying to find Sabrina, but since she wasn't seeing her stepdaughter, her eyes kept wandering. At one point, it stopped at Roseanne, who was talking to Nicholas, and he was listening to her while Coco was trying to pull his arm. Nicholas leaned down to hear what Coco had to say, and Leon ran in the other direction while Roseanne ran after him to catch her. It was a perfect family scene, which made her eyes soft for a moment, and the next moment, they wandered again. This time, her eyes, which were hidden under sunglasses, stopped when she noticed a red light falling on the crowd. She recognised that it was a sniper hidin
As Emery was standing on the altar, holding hands with Luke, everyone in the Hart family was going through their individual struggles, waiting for their chance of happiness to come. Nikolai was bitterly looking at her happy daughter, cursing himself for failing. Ellora was worrying about all of her children, and her husband's betrayal was breaking her heart. Little Coco had turned silent as she was sitting in Nicholas' lap, her head resting against his chest while he was stroking her head. Leon was staring at Nicholas with unspeakable emotions. He was longing to be pampered by Nicholas like Coco did, but he was unable to speak it. Taking his chance, he scooted near him since their chairs touched each other and put his head on his father's arm. A sad smile played on Nicholas' lips as he experienced this moment. He controlled his emotions, and not wanting to make Leon awkward, he used his other hand to stroke the latter's hair. Since Roseanne informed the children that they were lea
On the other side of the church building, Coco walked through the brightly lit corridors, her small footsteps echoing softly against the walls. As she rounded a corner, a shadow suddenly loomed over her, casting a dark silhouette across the floor. However, instead of feeling fear, Coco's face lit up with joy. "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" she exclaimed, her voice ringing out in the empty hallway.A warm chuckle cut through the silence as her father emerged from the shadows, his arms outstretched to form a hug. "How did you know it was Daddy?" he asked, bending down to her level and planting a playful kiss on her nose.Coco giggled happily, her eyes sparkling with delight. "Daddy, I felt you. I knew you were comingI" she replied, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. The simple joy of being reunited with her father filled her with an unspeakable happinessHe affectionately pinched her nose once more, teasing, "Miss big words."Coco pouted in response. "Daddy, I'm not lying," she prote
Roseanne asked, "Is everything okay?" She noticed his annoyed expression, but he covered it with his usual smile. She understood he wouldn't share what happened with Sabrina. Something seemed off, especially since Sabrina didn't look well either."Yes," Nicholas replied with a smile. "Everything's good. What's bothering you?"Despite his reassurance, Roseanne felt uneasy. She debated probing further but decided against it, not wanting to worsen the situation. His question triggered Roseanne's realization that things weren't right on her end either. She confessed, "Oh, it's just cafe things. I'm badly needed there. They messed up with taxes and can't handle such a normal issue."In truth, it had started as a simple matter, but due to her staff's negligence, it escalated into a serious problem. Now, she had to accompany her lawyer to the government office to prevent her cafe from being sealed under the accusation of tax evasion.Nicholas responded incredulously, "You're really going
As Sabrina made her way to the chapel, her anticipation was dampened by the sudden snap of her new shoe breaking. With a muttered curse, she felt frustration bubbling up inside her. She hadn't expected her newly purchased shoes to fail her so soon. The inconvenience of it all made her angry, especially considering the importance of the occasion.Despite her irritation, a practical thought crossed her mind. Remembering that Emery shared her foot size, she considered asking for a spare pair of shoes. It seemed like a reasonable solution to her predicament.Continuing on her path toward the bridal room, Sabrina's attention was drawn to a shadowy figure emerging from the darkness. A sense of unease crept over her as she realized she had stumbled upon someone trying to hide or flee. The unexpected encounter sent a shiver down her spine, and she couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. Gathering her courage, she cautiously approached, unsure of what she might find."Hey!" Sabrin
It was the wedding day that everyone had been waiting for. As per Emery's wishes, the wedding was set up in an old church. The bride was in the bridal room, beautifully adorned in her white wedding gown. Ellora had tears seeing her daughter becoming a bride, while Nikolai was emotional, too. Emery was happy to get married by getting the blessing of her parents. When she decided to marry Luke, she didn't think her family would stand by her side while she married him. “Emery, there is a package for you,” Roseanne said as she entered the room. Nobody was allowed inside the bridal room as the family had their moment. Thus, she got the package that she believed was a gift for the bride from a friend who couldn't make it to the wedding. “Who is it from?” Emery asked. Roseanne answered that she had no idea. Just a bridesmaid handed it to her and gave it to her. As Emery opened the package, she was welcomed by a whole portfolio of her husband, Luke, aka Lucian Petrov. The colour began dr
“Nicholas, soon I will leave. I do not wish to hurt you or me anymore. I do not wish to leave with anger or hate for you this time. I wish to return to my world with a calm and clean heart. I want to start over once again with a clean slate. That's why I came to you today.”Her words were ringing in his ears again and again. Roseanne told her ahead, “I do not have any issue if you and Sabrina come together. After all, you have a history with her. If she can turn out to be a good partner for you, I will be very happy for you.”At this time, she didn't know what came to her as she spoke those words. She had never been that kind and selfless enough to give him such a big blessing. They were the thorn of her life, and now she was blessing them a happy union. What an irony, it was! Her insides were protesting against her as she was speaking these words. He said, “You are pushing me to her.”There was a hint in his tone that said that he did not like where the conversation had headed. Sh
Nicholas was surprised when Roseanne suddenly appeared beside him silently. He looked at her and she offered him a smile. Seeing the smile on her lips, he asked himself if he even deserved it. For three days, he had been running from her because he didn't have the courage to talk to her. How could he talk to her when he was lying to her face? Even if he wasn't lying, he was hiding a big truth. He needed a heart of stone to tell her that. Everyday he would make himself ready to confess to her, he would fail. Due to this, he would not be able to talk to her at all. “What are you doing?” She asked him as he was standing in the garden alone. They had come home from Emery's a while ago. This time, she came with his mother while the latter made her drop Sabrina home. Currently, he was standing in the garden, looking at nothing in particular as he was feeling restless and caged inside the house. Everyday he would not come home on time and would not meet anyone. But today he couldn't do th
