In the days that followed, Anna found herself grappling with a whirlwind of emotions. Reeling from the rejection and betrayal, she sought refuge with her childhood friend, Elena, who welcomed her with open arms. Elena’s quaint little cottage in the suburbs became Anna’s sanctuary, a place where she could begin to rebuild what had been so callously torn apart.
Anna looked down at her son, whose tiny fingers curled around hers. She felt a fierce determination swell within her. This child was innocent, and she would do everything in her power to protect and provide for him.
Meanwhile, Sergey Alexandrovich, the millionaire tycoon, returned to his life of luxury and negotiations, yet something gnawed at him. Despite his harsh dismissal of Anna and the child, he could not suppress a creeping doubt. What if he had been wrong? Still, his pride overshadowed his uncertainties, and he buried himself deeper into his work, trying to forget the haunting image of Anna’s tear-stricken face.
