[] FULTON BACKSTORY SERIES
| THREE HEARTBREAKS
| Former Chairwoman Anne Fulton’s Story
Due to their family’s influence and power within Moldova, the daughters of the Fulton Family, Anne and Maela were trained and groomed not as daughters but rather as bargaining prizes for the business world. That’s just how life has been with their family.
As the eldest, Anne was the first to be arranged to marry into a business partner. The Fergusson family of Germany who decided to expand their business at Moldova through marrying off their eldest son—Otis—to Anne. It was not of an ideal marriage beginning but the two eventually had learned to love each other giving birth to three lovely ladies—Ainsley, Athena, and Sweet.
Love then Break the first time around.
But apparently, the concept of love for the eldest son of the Fergusson has seemed to expand into more than a single person. This has been an enough ground for Anne, heartbroken and devastated, to file for an official separation. To which, she had won custody of all three daughters and promised to remove any association with the Fergusson even by name of the three daughters.
Just as Anne had been rethinking about the concept of love, she was able to meet the wealthiest yet most cruel business tycoon in Italy—Anton Musso. His reputation was one of an ice-hearted that no one even dared to speak of his name. But in turns of business partnerships and projects, the ice heart of Anton has been melted by Anne which led to another marriage-based business alliance. Then followed the birth of their only child, Yves.
Love then Break the second time around.
Everything was turning smoothly as love became sweet the second time around for Anne. But in odd turn of events, Anton has simply just vanished into thin air. He disappeared one night of September, no words, no farewells, nor even signs of his existence. He was nowhere to be found that even the Musso City in Italy and their whole influence were not able to track down where he had gone. Whether he was dead, unconscious, or living, no one really knows.
About to give up after two heartbreaks, an alliance formed with the Austrian business tycoon—Konrad Ladron—had tried to thaw her frozen heart. It was not an easy journey for Konrad to pursue Anne after the two heartbreaks she has already suffered from. One that left her for another woman and one that had left her with no proper reason. But the Austrian business tycoon never backed down and became more persistent in pursuing her—even showed his willingness to step up as a father to her four children.
It did not take long until Anne had finally decided that her children needed a father. Her romance with the Austrian business tycoon was none like the other two. Love was indeed sweetest the third time around bearing fruits of this love—Arydza, Xyaela, Ike, and Zeke. All loving, all caring. All children bonded stronger and never really cared about the history of each. It’s simply the love of Anne and Konrad that lead them to grow and develop in the most caring and healthy environment.
Love but the Break is not hers to carry.
Love has indeed grown in the Fulton-Ladron Family but everything turned into a nightmare as one cold night, while the siblings were resting at their beloved home from their works and studies, a bloody news was delivered to them. Their parents have passed away from an unfortunate car accident. One that had shook the whole family and made them choose between grief and responsibility. Grieving hearts were suppressed as the siblings faced the urgency of transferring responsibilities and titles of their influencial family and businesses.
Lucky for Anne, two heartbreaks was enough to go through until she found her greatest love. But for the children, two heartbreaks experienced in one event was one that they shall forever carry in memory of their parents.
