I'd be cooler, I'd be smarter
Probably be a better daughter
I'd jump in a pool
without thinking twice
Take off my shirt like one of the guys
I would save a lot of money
I would say when I was hungry
I'd throw on some jeans,
not know the size
Walk out the door and not wanna cry

The reclamation of the estate was only Tahera's first step, very soon, she was going to take back everything that was hers. And it would be with added interest!

Ruma Akhter, your end will be coming soon, so enjoy the few good days you have left. Tahera pulled back her gaze and she saw a familiar face on the opposite building's second floor balcony.

She was slightly surprised because it was Taahir Rahman. Their eyes met across the distance that separated the two villas.

Taahir wore a white shirt and stared at her intensely with a glass of red wine in his hands. Sunlight showered on his statuesque physique, forming an alluring view.

Tahera had no idea how long he had been standing there and how much he had seen but at that moment, she could feel his sharp gaze focusing on her.

She returned him a blank expression. Tahera averted her eyes and retreated back into the villa.

"What are you looking at?" Parvez came over to his side and asked.

Parvez just moved into a new residence and today was his housewarming party. However, ever since the party started, Taahir took a glass of juice and stood fixated at his balcony.

Actually, Taahir had spotted Tahera ever since the moment she stood before the Hussain Family villa's gate.

Even though he wasn't sure what was happening, he guessed correctly that she was there to reclaim her old house. His ex-wife seemed to have transformed into a different person, one that was more assertive.

She had already surprised him with her change when they met at the hospital and today she surprised him again by successfully claiming back her family's villa. What had happened to her...

"What's happening over there?" Parvez asked when he saw police and security exiting the villa opposite.

Taahir replied with a shrug, "Who knows, let's go back in."

Parvez's attention was distracted as he was led back into his house.

Finally, everyone left. Tahera shut the door behind her and started slowly touring the villa, the place that she once called home. Home that she had lost after her father passed away.

However, from today onwards, it would her home again, giving her a new beginning at an old home.

Yes, a new beginning!

Hope swirled in Tahera's eyes, her goal was to be able to stand head to head with the Rahman Empire one day. That way, she would have enough standing to demand for her son's custody rights...

The road ahead was long and treacherous but she firmly believed she would be able to make it.

After Tahera inspected every nook and cranny of the villa, she called the locksmith to come over and change all the locks. Of course, she still had to hire people to clear out everything that belonged to Ruma. After a new streak of paint, the place would be good as new.

Tahera made all the necessary arrangements then prepared a simple meal for Aaban in the kitchen before leaving the house. She hadn't strayed far from the villa when a car slowly pulled up behind her...

The car window rolled down to reveal Taahir's handsome face; a face that could make every woman's heart skip a beat.

Yet Tahera was unruffled. The look that she gave him was completely different from before.
