Isla stood up immediately; she knew her instincts to protect kicked in instantly. "Are you okay?" she whispered by her sister's side.

"I am good," Elara replied with a nod. She believed that as long as she ignored Olivia-Marie and all of her cohorts, they would leave her alone. This was not high school, where one would bully just because they wanted to or because they would regard themselves as the happening girls. Elara turned to her sister and they both kept inspecting the dress; Isla did not need to be told that there was no need to get into a conversation with them. She would even think that they were not worth it one bit.

"Are you seriously going to ignore us?" Winter? asked. She was glad they had met with Elara there; after the incident at the restaurant and after the manager had kicked them out, they did not discuss any plans on what to do with Elara and Winter was glad they did not because it meant that they could do whatever they wanted to her.

    "You know he was not single until you appeared around him," she replied, raising her voice so that it cracked. Isla came closer with the instinct to fight if need be. Elara was not going to allow them to try to manipulate her into fighting so she took a step back."I am stepping away not because I cannot fight back but because I do not want to be on the news," Elara mentioned as she moved back.Winter frowned; she did not expect her to be that levelheaded. The expectation was that after the slap she would get so angry that she would want to fight them and if they could spin the story in such a way that it would make them look like the victims, then the better for them."I thought you were bold enough to say all you wanted to? Why are you running away now?" Winter? asked. The other girls she was with had yet to register what was going on. It was upon seeing Elara that they discovered that they had not come up with a plan and instead of doing something about it, Winter dived in first."

    "You know she is lying, don't you?" Isla asked as soon as they were left alone. Isla wanted to get rid of the girls so much that she refused to say anything until they had all left."Well, that is fifty-fifty now, isn't it?""Huh?!""Olivia-Marie and Ezra used to date for real so there is a fifty percent chance that a baby is growing in there already," Elara explained."I don't care for all that bullcrap; I stand by my word and I say that she is in no way pregnant and you are still going on that date whether you like it or not," Isla said. She knew that her sister had fallen for the fake pregnancy announcement and so she was most likely going to call off the date that both parties had come together to make happen."How can I go?" Elara asked. She wanted to go and let Ezra know, then maybe he would focus on making a family with her."You already scheduled the date before you got to find out about the pregnancy and if you tell Ezra about it, he can find out if it is real before they get

    Zara sat in the car, her eyes firmly glued on the road ahead. She knew what the doctors were going to say and she knew Micah would not like it. She saw genuine happiness in his eyes when she told him about the baby.She could tell that he had gotten married to her because of money but in reality, he must want a child of his own. He must be the one with the problem after all; she had tried all she could to make sure that she got pregnant yet he could not do it. "Is there something you'd like to tell me?" Micah knew that she was not pregnant because she was not that subtle at disposing of the test strips. "Anything like?" She asked, rubbing her palm on her lap and flashing him a fake smile. "Anything at all about this marriage or your pregnancy?" he replied with his voice raspy as he spoke. "There is nothing to say," Zara replied and then looked out the window by her side."When we step into that hospital, do you know that I would find out officially that you are not pregnant and ye

    Micah suddenly swerved to the side of the road, barely avoiding a collision with the car from behind. He parked the car by the side and turned to her.She sat with her eyes wide open as she clutched the seat belt as if her life depended on it. "Are you looking to kill me?" Her voice was slow and steady but anyone could hear the feral hidden in it."Of course not; at the moment I made a decision and maybe it was not the best decision but I made it because I wanted to," he said. She could tell he was trying to hint at something but she could not get it.She took off the seat belt and turned till her back was at the door. She pressed her lips together and shook her head. "I am trying but I just don't get it." "In that bar that night, you decided at the moment to do something that could ruin my life and you did not bother to look back," he replied.She blinked as his words stung but she was shocked this was the first time he was bringing it up. He opened his mouth and she braced herself

    "You talk as if you know a lot of things but I am sure you are saying these things so I give up but I would never give up on getting back with her," Micah replied."Oh please, you think her family is sitting on their hands?" she asked and he stared at her with a straight face. "What do you mean?" "I am sure that by now they are already looking for a better fit for her. I mean, she was not really affected by the rumours but still, they can't sit on their hands and allow her to get ruined by you. I am sure they are working on a plan." "She must still love me. I am sure that was why she made such an effort to be at the wedding." Zara threw her head back and laughed so loudly that he was irritated by it. "You look smart but you are kind of dumb." Her words pierced through him and he opened his mouth to speak but she raised her hand to him since she was not yet done with her words. "You want to be rich and be amongst them so desperately yet you have no idea what they are and why they

    "Where have you been?" Alfie's voice came out in a whisper as he watched his daughter sneak back into the house.Chole had been startled to see him there; whenever she got back to the house after spending the night with Ephraim, her father was always asleep but she had to be careful, which was why she snuck in. Turns out that her paranoia was the right thing to do. She had her shoes in her hand and her hair was in a mess on the top of her head as if she had gotten in a fight. Alfie stood up from the chair he had been waiting in all night since he needed to talk to her."You did not answer my question," he continued as he tried to close the gap between them."Since when did you care about where I go?" She shot at him. "Since ever, I am your father and I have the right to ask you these things," he replied."Of course, you are my father; no one is contesting that position with you," she said, rolling her eyes.Anytime she and her father got into a fight, he never failed to mention it t

    Alfie barged into the Santiago family house when he was denied by the man; his bodyguards earned their keep when they powered through and allowed him in. Alfie was angry enough that his daughter was leaving a Quinn and yet she had to go get married to someone he did not approve of. When he got into the house, he waited by the door as if it was a crime for him to be seen around the house. Roland had been told what happened and he sent his assistant to go get Alfie up to meet him."Is he truly afraid to come down to meet?" Alfie asked as the assistant stood opposite him. The lady who had braces on her teeth and a high bun that looked like what belonged in a club, alongside her tight-fitting top that made her breasts look larger than they were, looked stunned at the words from him that did not fail to appear on her face."What?" she let out in a whisper as she looked him up and down. This was the first time that she saw someone like him face to face. Most times it was from a distance or

    "What?" The man looked genuinely concerned that he had missed an opportunity to make so much money."Micah and Cora, the woman who paid you, have come in and confessed, so you do not have to worry about trying to take a deal to save yourself." The man looked fidgety as he realised that if Cora had come in to confess, then there was really no escape for him anymore. He should not have pretended to be too tough, but he was sure that if he had taken the money, he would have been hunted down, and the money would have been returned to Ezra."I see?" the man said in a singsong voice. "But you are yet to find the woman, aren't you?" The man asked, as even Cora did not know where they had hidden Elara. She told them to do everything at their own discretion, as she did not want to be tied to something as terrible as that."What do you mean?""Cora paid us alright to kidnap her but she had no idea where she is and even worse, my partner and I have a plan that if one of us does not show up after

    Ronan and Ezra got to the station and saw the man who had helped with the kidnapping of Elara. The policemen said that the man had refused to speak and that they caught him when he was out buying supplies. They asked that they be allowed to see the man, as they could maybe find a way to force him to confess. The police officers agreed because they knew that it was useless for them to disagree, as they would still find a way to have their way. Ronan and Ezra made a plan, hoping that they could both stick to it and that way get him to say something incriminating."I respect a man who works hard for his money," Ronan said as they sat down. The gruff and big man looked up. Ronan could see the realisation on his face before he cleared his throat and tried to act like he did not recognise the two men in front of him. "I am Ronan Quinn; it's nice to meet you." Ronan took out a card from his card holder and slid it across the table to him.The man looked down at the card without touching it.

    "Mom?""Wait, I am thinking of what we can do to escape this; this is good for us. You've been free, and now we can leave if we can just find a way." Micah stood in a corner as he watched his mom pace around the room with her hand stroking her chin. He did not need her to speak for him to know that her mind was going in every direction possible. He bit his lower lip as he thought of how he would dissuade her and convince her to accept her fate."They don't know that we are connected to those men; maybe if the men do not confess..." she trailed off as she knew the possibility of that was very low. She was sure that the wealthy family would do all they could to coax the truth from them. "This is all your fault," Cora stopped and put her eyes on her son.Mixah shuddered at the thought of what had happened; he did not like it at all. How could she try to blame him for decisions she made without him? He was locked up in jail and did not know anything about what she was planning, so how was

    Cora knew there was no escape for her now; all she could do was hold onto Elara and act as if she knew nothing. There was no way she could escape, and her entire plan seemed ruined."To what do we owe the pleasure of your coming here?" Cora asked; she was trying her best to act mature, but Ronan and Ezra already saw through the facade."We are here to pick up Elara Quinn; just tell us where she is and we won't make a scene and will be on our way without a word," Ronan said gently. He seemed more composed than Ezra, who was shaking with anger. All Ezra thought of doing was beating up the owner, but he knew that it was wrong to do so, and that would make them find Elara quickly; in fact, it might even make it worse for them."You are making a dangerous claim right now," Micah said, standing up, and you, more than anyone, should know that it is wrong to frame someone for something they have not done."Have not done? You know fully well that your mother is the one behind the kidnapping of

    Micah sat in shock after hearing all that the lawyer explained to him; he stared at the man hoping that he would begin to laugh at how gullible he was and that none of that had happened. When the lawyer did not look like he was about to laugh, he hoped that he would be rudely shaken from this dream he seemed to be having and every tug in his life would be back to the time before he lost Elara."Why on earth would you allow her to do that?" Micah asked, picking at each word gently. He wanted to scream and pull out the hair of his lawyer, but he knew that was not going to make anything better; it might even make it worse if he did not take care."She is the only one who can sign off for you, and all the documents had your legal signature and stamp." Micah could understand how she got the stamp, but how could she get the signature? It made no sense except that she forged it. Why did she forge his signature? What was she trying to get by forging it to sell off all they had? Has she done th

    "Mr. Micah Swanson, you are free to go," the officer said, unlocking the cell door and opening the gate. Micah stood up from the floor where he had been and walked to the gate. It made no sense because just yesterday Ezra had threatened to make sure he spent the rest of his life behind bars since Elara was still missing and Micah did not say a word about it."To go where?" Micah asked with a frown."To go home""Am I free to go home?""Do you need me to get an interpreter for you?" the officer asked angrily. He hated that Ezra and Ronan had walked in there and asked them to let Micah go without allowing them to do their jobs, but there was no way they could say no to them. It was more of an order than a request, and since both families were involved, the officer would rather keep his job than go head-to-head with them."I just won't understand why you would let me go without an explanation," Micah said, still staying inside the cell. He felt some kind of chill fill his entire body; he

    "Ezra Are you sure this would work?" Clara asked with tears in her eyes. It had been four days since Elara had gone missing and the media had gotten a whiff of it. No one knew how this happened because they had been careful enough but there was a link to sow who might have leaked it to the media and none of them cared who leaked the information; all they cared about at that moment was finding Elara and making sure she was alive."Ezra, Daddy has enough to pay the ransom and bring her back home," Isla added. Unfortunately, for every six hours that they spent waiting, the ransom kept on going up, and now they were up to one hundred sixty million. The kidnappers had threatened to beat her up in the next six hours, and Ezra had come up with a plan. The viability of the plan was not certain, but they wanted to do anything to make sure that Elara came back to them alive."I have the money and I would pay; I wouldn't ask you for a dime. We know that Cora and Micah are behind this, even thoug

    "She is being a bit difficult. What do you want me to do?" one of the men said over the phone before aggressively pushing out a whiff of smoke from his mouth. The other man took the cigarette from his hand and blew on it before returning it to him."Make the ransom call, but make sure that they are not able to trace it to me," Cora said silently over the phone. Remember that you would be the one to take the fall for anything that happens." Cora wanted them to know she had no part in the situation, even though she was the mastermind behind it."We understand.""One hundred million and my son.""What about our payment?" the man asked. This was the most dangerous job that they had ever taken, but they took it because of the risk involved. If they can coax the money from the Quinn family, then they would get to walk away with thirty million without sweating, as they have always done in the past."I told you that after we get the ransom, then you get your payment," Cora said angrily. She d

    Micah did not want to believe that his mother would go so low to do something like this. It made no sense because everyone who had a working brain could trace it back to her without any issues. "Can I request a call?" He asked the officer as he dragged him back to the cell he had been."You can't" the man's voice was firm and Micah could tell that bargaining was going to be hard. "Please you have to help me or else I might end up suffering something I never did" Ezra said trying to stop him from dragging but the man was obviously stronger than him. "Please, don't I have the right to a phone call at least" he added in an almost crying tone. He knew it was possible that the Quinn family had cut off his communication line but then considering how things were going he would not blame them if they did. "I can't offer that to you at this time, maybe try later" the man said and pushed him into the cell without a word before walking away his ears deaf to the continuous plea from the man be
