At that moment, their father slowly let out a heavy breath as he turned to Nathaniel, who was still fuming. His brows were drawn tightly, his arms crossed over his chest, and his lips pressed into a thin line. The tension in the room was thick, but their father, older and far more patient now, spoke with calm wisdom.“Calm down,” he said softly, placing a hand gently on Nathaniel’s shoulder. “I understand you. I truly do. I know exactly how you feel, and I understand every bit of that anger boiling in you right now. But he’s your brother.”He paused, locking eyes with him. “He’s just angry… that’s all. Hurt people talk from a place of pain. You’ve seen how much he’s gone through, how much he held in. Right now, his pride won’t let him see clearly. But one day, when he finally comes to his senses, he’ll come back running. And when he does, I will still be here. I won’t be mad at him. I won’t turn him away.”He gave Nathaniel’s shoulder a small squeeze and added, “And you, too… I don’t

At that moment in time, Soma and her younger sister quietly stepped closer to their father. The call had ended, but the heaviness in the air still lingered around him like thick smoke. From the way his face had tightened, from the deep sigh he let out as he dropped the phone onto the table, they didn’t need to ask who had called.Without being told, they already knew. It was their grandfather.Soma folded her arms and tilted her head slightly, her eyes locked on her father’s face. “Was that him?” she asked softly. “Grandfather?”Her sister stood close beside her, just as curious, just as concerned.Her father turned to face them, and though his face was composed, there was still a small flicker of disappointment resting in his eyes. He exhaled slowly and nodded.“Yes,” he said. “It was your grandfather.”They stayed silent, waiting, allowing him the space to speak.“Well,” he continued, “all is well… and yet, not everything is well.” He paused, his hand moving behind his neck as he ge

At that moment, upon hearing what Soma just said, her father’s brows lifted slightly in surprise. For a few seconds, he said nothing just stared at her with a puzzled expression, as if processing the information he hadn’t expected to hear.Then, with a soft sigh, he gently scratched the side of his jaw and spoke. “Oh… I didn’t know, Soma. I’m very, very sorry for that. I didn’t realize Jason was actually in a serious relationship. I had no idea there was someone else.”He gave a small, apologetic shake of his head. “That’s my fault for assuming. I only spoke like that because I’ve always seen the way he looks at you. But it’s okay. Don’t think too much about it.”He leaned back a little, his voice warmer now, comforting. “If he’s taken, then he’s taken. But that doesn’t mean you should feel pressured. In fact, it only means one thing your own man, the one that truly fits you, will come. Your husband, the right one, he’s on the way. A real man who will love you for who you are, and who

At that moment, she didn't waste any time. She drove carefully, her hands tight on the steering wheel, her mind still swirling with mixed thoughts about Jason, Camilla, and everything happening around her. The city roads felt longer than usual, even though she knew exactly where she was going. She was headed to the Association of Veterinarians Headquarters, a place she had only seen a few times before, but today, she had been personally invited. They had called her earlier that morning for an urgent meeting, and even though her emotions were not fully settled, she had decided to honor the invitation. After all, the association had now become the talk of the town—every top vet clinic, pet hospital, and animal rescue center wanted to be affiliated with it. And she, being a rising star in the veterinary world, was finally being recognized.When she got there, the building itself looked more prestigious than she remembered. It was a tall, glass-structured office with a bold sign that read

At that moment, Abigail’s voice grew firmer as she adjusted the files in front of her and leaned forward slightly, casting a sharp glance at Soma. There was no warmth in her eyes now only the cold, calculated tone of someone who had made up her mind before the conversation even started.She said clearly, “So, for everything that has happened, and for the consequences we’re now dealing with, Soma you need to apologize. Not just any apology. A sincere one. And it has to be public. That means you’re going to record a video where you will clearly state that you overreacted, and you’ll admit that you should have followed due process instead of taking matters into your own hands. No excuses. No back and forth. Just a clean, public statement of remorse.”The room became uncomfortably still.Soma blinked in disbelief, trying to keep her expression composed, but anyone paying close attention could see the flicker of shock on her face. Still, she didn’t say a word.But Abigail wasn’t finished.
