"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

"My father found out" Chole said pacing the floor of the hotel room. They always met in a hotel room, Ephiram assured her that was the best place to meet, as they would never get caught by anybody. As soon as he noticed her father leaving the house she called up Ephriam and asked that they meet. They had just left each other but they were back to each other gain."I think that is the best news I have heard all day" Ephriam beamed with joy."What?" Chole asked confused. "This is not supposed to go like this" she replied with a frown on her face."How is this supposed to go?"Ephriam asked as he shifted in the chair. "We are getting married aren't we?""Yes, of course we are," she said in a hurry because she did not want him to overthink it."Then what is the big deal of him finding out?""That is because I am sure he has gone to confront your dad and now your dad would know too.""I was planning on introducing him to you this week; remember the date I asked you to go with me? There is a
DAY OF THE DATE BETWEEN EZRA AND ELARAElara was nervous; if she was being honest, she had not been on a date in a long time and it was weird for her. It felt like a time for her to reject him officially. He wanted a date to the extent that he had to involve their parents and since that was what he wanted, she gave it to him but now she was going to make sure it ended there."Thank you for coming out tonight," he said as they sat down. He had gotten to the restaurant earlier and waited for her outside so they could go in together. She did not like the idea but the restaurant he chose was not crowded so she did not express her displeasure out loud."Well, you basically forced me out so you are welcome.""I forced you out? When did I do that?""You sent your dad to my dad and voila, we are sitting here on a date when you have a fiancée." She watched the expression on his face harden and release immediately. She did not know how the evening was going to go but she knew that she had to te
"WHAT?!" Elara could not help but exclaim in shock. She could not believe that Isla had been right about the situation. She had been so sure that the woman was not pregnant and that her friend had said it to buy them time. Maybe they did not think that she would be meeting Ezra soon and that she might be asking him about it."She is infertile and can never get pregnant; if she is pregnant, then it is a miracle and it is definitely not mine," he said. From his expression, she could tell that he was being serious."Are you saying that...""I am saying that we have not had sex in a year.""You date but..." She did not know if they were supposed to be having this conversation and even more the reason she was upset to hear that before now they used to have sex. She cleared her throat and gently rubbed her throat. "I mean, I did not deserve to know all of the details.""You asked so I thought you wanted to know," he said and then shrugged."I wanted to know but not all of the details," she
Elara swallowed the lump in her throat just because she could not take it anymore; it felt like someone had taken time out of their busy day to tie up her throat, and it felt itchy. She cleared her throat and straightened her back as she walked through the restaurant.She looked to one table in the corner; her boyfriend Micah's back was to her, and she took a deep breath, clutching tightly to the handle of her purse. As she approached the table, she wished that this was different.When she first caught on that he was cheating, she did not believe it one bit because there was no way that her boyfriend, who swore to love her even though he was too closed off to show it to her, was showing another girl with flowers and chocolates and dinner dates; she could believe that the same man she had been with all these years was cheating on her.But when her sister called to tell her that she was getting out and that everyone knew that he was getting married to Zara, she knew that she did not sta

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
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
