Sarah was asleep. She began having a dream.
In this dream she was happy in a beautiful wedding dress. As her veil was lifted she saw Albert's face.
"Congratulations, My Love," he said and kissed her lovingly.
She lay in his arms holding a baby, giggling while he rubbed her feet.
"I love you so much," Sarah whispered.
"I love you more than anything," Albert said as they kissed.
Then a loud bang woke her up.
She jumped up from her sleep.
It was the wind.
She closed the window, her heart pounding faster than ever.
She opened her phone and looked at the picture of them together at the park when she told him she loves him.
She stared at the picture.
"What kind of dreams was that? Why?" she said.
Then she dropped her phone, covered herself more and held the teddy bear her father gave her.
She slept off fully again.
It was morning.
Lilith sat outside praying before the sun comes out.
"Om Namah Shivaya (I bow to Lord Shiva)," Lilith chanted for the 200th time.
"Om Namah Shivaya (I bow to Lord Shiva)," she said again, deep in her prayer.
Nikolai sat outside, not disturbing her.
Then slowly the sunrise came as the golden light shined upon her gorgeous face.
She smiled but her eyes slowly opened.
"Om Namah Shivaya (I bow to Lord Shiva)," she said once again.
Oyiva, Satyam, Kishore and Atharva poured the clay pot of water on her head.
"Om Namah Shivaya (I bow to Lord Shiva)," they said.
Nikolai sat while choosing dresses.
"Boss, it done," Addison said.
"Great," he said.
As he saw the ring his eyes widened.
"Good job Addy and your get ₽6 billion," he said.
Her eyes widened.
"Boss….." she said.
"Not buts. You really done me a huge deal. Now I can fulfill my promise," he said.
She bowed and happily ran to Logan.
Nikolai chuckled.
Lilith walked to him holding a prayer plate as she pressed the tika (the red color place on their forehead after prayer).
He bent over for her to reach as she placed the tika on his forehead and gave him the offering.
He took a bite and kissed her.
She bumped his nose with hers.
Chandrak watched them, his hands in his pockets.
He walked into his mother's room.
"You said she will be mine Maa," he said.
Vajrakali opened the jewelry boxes meant for Lilith, checking them.
"She belongs to another and have his child, Son," she said.
"You are the most powerful. You can force her out of the marriage. Make her mine," Chandrak said.
"That not possible because Nikolai just got Lily back home after 2 years. She left us while she was pregnant with his child. It better if you accept that and move on or Lilith will kill you," Elena said as she dropped the tray and served tea, then took Vajrakali's blessing.
"You live here too?" she said.
"Yes actually. My husband is Nikolai elder brother Taran. They half India Punjabi," Elena said.
"Interesting," she said.
Mila waddled in holding Sarah's hand.
"Mownin Gwanny!" Mila said.
"Hello Little one," Vajrakali said.
As Mila touched her feet and patted her chest—
"Bless you dear," she said.
"Tank oo Gwanny!" Mila said.
Vajrakali kissed her forehead.
Mila giggled as Sarah carried her in her arms.
"All done?" she said.
"Hmhmhm," Mila said.
"Ba Ba Gwanny," Mila said waving at her.
"Look, don't do anything that will cause you your life. If you try to separate them then get ready to go back to the Almighty. The last woman who caused a huge problem that made her leave for 2 years die. Nikolai shot her more than 50 times. It better for you to be quiet," Elena said, walking away from them.
Chandrak's jaw tightened more.
A few days later.
It was April 29.
Nikolai and Mila were both in the office.
She sat at her window spot while sucking on her olive green pacifier.
Nikolai patted her back to sleep.
Slowly she fell asleep.
Meanwhile in the mansion, Lilith was reading in her hall.
Books were everywhere.
She looked at each word, memorizing them.
She was a bookworm.
She read and wrote down meaningful key points.
Clara dropped coffee for her.
"Thank you Lara," she said.
A car pulled up to the mansion.
A man walked into the mansion.
"Hi Uncle!" Zhanna said.
It was Albert.
"Hello," he said, hugging them each.
He held Mattia.
"Hey kiddo," he said, making Mattia giggle.
Sarah walked in.
"I got the gingerbread," she whispered, giving Elena.
"Look who here," Elena said.
Sarah looked at the door.
She saw him.
Albert.
And some bags too.
He walked to a room.
It was very, very close to hers.
He locked the door.
He smirked inside.
"Now the fun begins," he said.
Nikolai came home.
He saw Lilith in the Greenhouse.

She picked some herbs, checked each flower, fruit and everything through, and burned the rotten leaves and ones.
"Hi love," she said as she took off her gloves and kissed him.
"Hello darling," Nikolai said.
Mila was asleep.
She kissed her forehead.
He went upstairs, laid Mila down, kissed her forehead and covered her with a blanket.
"Oh My little baby. Papa loves you so much," he said as he quietly left the room.
"Is she asleep brother?" Daria said.
"Yeah she is."
"Great. Anyway the yacht is ready for you brother. I got a new one. It in your command," she said.
"Thank you Baby," he said as he kissed her forehead.
"Leonid fix things?" he said.
She nodded.
"We were about get divorced but… he said he doesn't want it and tore the papers, burned them last week. He came back with a huge bouquet of roses. He was happy and said he killed the nurse," Daria said.
Nikolai chuckled and hugged her.
"I love you so much Brother. You're the best brother ever," she said.
Nikolai was about to cry.
He hugged her.
After some time he walked upstairs and stopped at Zhanna's room.
"Brother got this when he… when I was 17 Love. He truly the best brother ever. He went through a lot," Zhanna said while laying in Salvatore's arms.
"He brought us back together. I have a beautiful family because of him," Salvatore said as he kissed her.
Nikolai's tears came down.
He walked to Arina's room.
He saw Ethan brushing Ella's hair.
They had a fight.
As Arina tugged his shirt he ignored her.
She bent down and dropped the flowers in his hands.
It had on it:
I Am Sorry Sweetheart
She held her ears India style and spoke India for him.
"Mujhe maaf kar dijiye (Please forgive me)," Arina said.
His eyes widened.
"Y…You just…..spoke Hindi language," Ethan said.
Ella clapped.
Arina still held her ears.
She nodded.
His eyes softened as he stood up and hugged her, crying.
"I missed you so much. Very very very much," Ethan said.
She wiped her tears.
"I am sorry love. Brother spoke to me. I was wrong. Am always wrong. Am sorry for hurting your feelings. I love you so very much. Your my whole heart," Arina said.
Ethan hugged her.
"Nick is the best brother ever," Arina said.
Nikolai wiped his tears.
Nikolai walked away.
He heard Yulian and Meghan saying the same thing.
"Brother is the Best!" they said while checking the games out.
He walked upstairs.
"You love your brother huh?" Elena said.
"Yep. He is more than the best brother ever!" Taran said, hugging her.
Nikolai walked to his room.
"Nikki will love this," Lily said.
As he entered the room she saw him crying.
"What happened Nikki?" Lilith said.
"Am the best B…B…B….Brother ever. They all said that. I heard them Bambi," he said, crying in her arms.
She kissed his forehead and gently patted him to sleep.
