“Dear Elara. I made so many mistakes and failed to trust you. But today I promise while holding your hand that…” his voice trailed off when he tried to control his tears. Still, a droplet did manage to escape his eyelid,“That from today onwards you will get nothing but my respect, trust, and love. I swear …” he wiped his cheek and could see her eyes glistening too.“I swear I won’t repeat the mistakes and will listen to you. I will try to be a better companion and a best friend for you and our kids.”Elara looked at him solemnly, “Aiden. Today I vow to be a better wife and a better partner to you. No matter how hard life gets, I promise to support you and stand by your side in your difficult and good times. No matter what the situation is. You will always find me beside you. Today I vow to fill your home with love, laughter, and warmth.”She pursed her lips tightly getting all emotional.They both had zoned out until the priest’s gentle voice brought them back into the present, “Aiden

“Do you hate me?” Aiden asked his son who was sitting quietly on his lap. The little boy seemed shocked by his dad’s question,“I never hated you, Dad. Why would I want a person to find Mommy if I disliked him?”“Hmm. Then I hope next time you won’t send the wrong location to misguide me next time?” Aiden asked him, referring to the location Sebastian sent when he was looking for Elara. It had led him to the Octavia's bakery.Sebastian had a sheepish smile on his face when his father mentioned that, “I am sorry. I was just a little angry. I had seen Mom crying when she thought we were sleeping. The moment I got the tab, the first thing I did was look for you.”Aiden rested his son's head under his chin and closed his eyes. His son had at last forgiven him. Aiden never got a chance to see his own folks. He didn't want his kids to lead a life without either of their parents. “Are you with mommy because of us?” Sebastián asked him innocently. “No, son. I am with her because I love her.

“Pregnant?” If Elara’s face was pale, Vicky’s had turned ashen white, “h… how is it possible? Aiden… were you two sleeping behind my back?” Vicky couldn’t believe it. After waiting for this man for four more years, he had again slipped out of her clutches. “Why?” At this point, she wanted to take her own life. Everything had come to an end for her. She no longer trusted words like love, affection, or Aiden. “I can explain, Vicky,” Aiden raised his arms in total surrender, “go to your office and I’ll explain everything to you. I promise, love.” Love? Elara who was now handling her pounding headache, her eyes snapped up to look at Aiden questioning him. But his focus stayed solely on Vicky. What was exactly cooking in his head? He must have felt her eyes on him because his eyes momentarily shifted towards his wife, and he winked. Shaking his head, he went to his desk to get his phone. “I am feeling fine. It’s just the pancakes, guys.” Elara tried to protest when Aiden calle

Vicky Barone’s pov continues: Like a perfect gentleman, Aiden owned the baby. He promised to man up for taking up the responsibility of the baby. Being a well-raised guy, he left Elara so that she could build her future too. He was never expecting that she was pregnant and would attempt to run away. Neither was I. She proved to be more daring than my expectations. Collin Greyson was a powerful man, and he was looking for me like a hawk. I wanted to hide behind Aiden but the hunger for power and to take over his office was growing inside me. The revenge I wanted to take from Edmund was burning fire inside me… To get the contracts, I started using men to my advantage. First, it was Mr. Wendell, the fake one. Then the real one. And then Mr. Jack. All was going well until his wife walked in. I had to run for my life and sacrifice those contracts. Thankfully Aiden didn’t get mad at me. But I was sure he must be upset. Then one fine day Jack’s wife walked into my office and got

After four hours of transit at Dubai Airport, Vicky was now boarding the next plane to Germany. She took out her phone to switch it off when it pinged.An email from Aiden.She opened it and found a document.“What is it?” She clicked the document murmuring to herself and then gasped in excitement.It was the divorce decree. He had signed the divorce papers. Elara was again divorced. Yay!She couldn’t contain her happiness and dialed his number.His phone was not responding. He must be on the plane.She then dialed Meer’s number.“Hey. Can you connect me to Aiden?” she just wanted to check if Aiden was serious with her or playing some kind of sick joke.“Hey, Vicky. Where are you? What about the contracts you worked so hard for? You didn’t even bother to send an email for your sick leave.”She could detect the frustration in his voice.“Yeah. I am sorry, Meer. But my question is still unanswered. Where is Aiden?”“I don’t know, man. His family is also worried for him. He hasn’t come
