Asmaira froze, watching her small daughter apologize with an innocence and maturity that belied her age. The sight of those brown eyes and the slight dimple in her cheek made her heart race; it had been years since she last saw her. Raina was a baby when Asmaira last held her; now she was walking and talking. Asmaira had missed it all—Raina's first word, her first step—all the precious moments a mother lives for. She had been absent from her daughter’s life.But what truly stung was the lack of recognition in Raina's eyes; to her, Asmaira was a stranger.Amaan’s chilling words echoed in her mind: “I'll make them forget you.”She suppressed a bitter laugh, the reality hitting her with full force. This was her only chance to be with her daughter. A small, foolish part of her wondered if her prayers were finally answered, but she quickly dismissed the thought.Subtly wiping a lone tear, she crouched down. "It’s okay, sweetheart. Are you hurt?”Asmaira longed to touch her face, to brush t

"David gave me as an anniversary gift," Talia replied, though she was still afraid of the barely contained rage she sensed in his demeanor."No, it can't be possible," he murmured, his eyes fixed on the ring, still holding her hand.When his grip tightened to a dizzying pressure, Talia instinctively tugged her hand free. Realizing the shocking intensity of his reaction, Amaan released her.She had never witnessed such wildness in Amaan's eyes, and her gaze went immediately to the diamond on her finger."What's the matter, Amaan?""Talia, I need to see David, now!" he enunciated, his jaw muscle ticking as he exerted tremendous control over his escalating rage.For the first time, a cold bead of sweat formed on Talia’s forehead, seeing her typically calm boss pacing the expensive carpet like a wounded lion out for blood. The few minutes of waiting stretched into what felt like hours, and she shifted nervously on her feet. Amaan had not only cancelled all his remaining meetings for the d

Asher noticed an unusual lightness in Lexie's demeanor. She was always cheerful, but there was a distinct change in her. She was still chattering as usual, yet a sparkle lit her eyes, and for once, her smile seemed to truly reach them."What's with you today?" he inquired, leaning on the kitchen counter. He received only a shrug in response, and she continued humming. Not wanting to pry, he shook his head and walked away.That afternoon, he had to step out for a client meeting. Wanting to inform Lexie to take care of the restaurant in his absence, he entered the kitchen, only to hear her talking animatedly with the staff."Asmaira's mom is an awesome cook; she prepared both breakfast and lunch for us in such a short time."He stopped, surprised, and blurted out, "When did you meet her mother?"What was even more astonishing was that, given Asmaira’s reserve, she had actually allowed Lexie to meet her family. Before he could process this surprise, Lexie hit him with an even bigger one.

Amaan's playful demeanor vanished when he looked down at his buzzing phone.​"Rodriguez?" Amaan was instantly serious.​"Sir, there is an update." Rodriguez's words made Amaan feel a brief surge of hope, expecting news of Asmaira. But it died as Rodriguez explained, "Mrs. Hashmi’s family was in a financial crisis. That’s why she sold the house. But there’s something odd."​Amaan’s instincts sharpened. “What is it?” The situation felt wrong—why would Asmaira’s family suddenly face a financial crisis? Why sell their home so quickly?​"She so

“Stop!" Lexie screamed.The cab came to an abrupt stop, startled gasps echoing. The driver turned, his voice shaking. “What’s wrong?”Asmaira held Ayaan in her arms just in time to protect him from falling when the cab skidded to a halt.“I want an ice cream,” Lexie announced. Asmaira stared at her, incredulous. "What?!" she huffed.Lexie quickly plastered on a fake smile and nudged Ayaan. "Asmi, I want to have an ice cream from Robins, and I’m sure Ayaan too would love to have."Drooling at the thought of ice cream, Ayaan too chimed in, “Yes, Robin’s ice cream."“You are impossible, Lexie!” she glared, adjusting Ay
