"Get me on the phone with Ms. Clark," Ezra said as he strolled into the officer. Mary, his assistant, looked up and stumbled to her feet, slamming her knees into the edge of the table. She bent over, holding her knees as she winced in pain. She took a sharp breath, feeling it fill her lungs with air as she tried to stand up. She was not sure if her ears had heard well or if her boss was asking her to get in touch with his fiance for him. "Mr. Thatcher?" she asked, standing up to follow him. "Mary, are you going to get her on the phone or not?" he asked, taking off his coat and sliding into his chair. "If I may, sir, I would love to stay out of the drama this time," she said, moving closer to the table. She still felt scrawled by his former request and how it had ended up. Olivia Marie, who was his wife-to-be, was not pleased with her, and funny how she was the one who took all of the heat. "Are you disobeying me?" Ezra asked, holding to the edge of the table and pulling his chair

“Come on, Olivia, you can't be like this,” Ezra let out, frustrated. He was wrong, but she might be blowing it out of proportion. “Don't be like that. How else do you want me to be?” she sneered. He cleared his throat and stood up as he began pacing the entire floor. “I am sorry about how it turned out; I am just not ready to...” "Ezra, we are getting married in three months; when are you going to finally be ready to show the world that we are together?” she asked, taking a deep breath. “Olivia…”“It is Olivia-Marie and you would address me as such.” "Olivia-Marie,” he took a deep breath. He had no excuse after standing her up. She had planned this entire engagement party for them so that he could meet her friends and some other people, but he was not interested in doing that yet. “Are you still waiting? Are you still hoping?” she asked, piercing through his thoughts. “Still waiting?” he asked his mind, trying to decipher what she meant. “Are you still waiting for her? The wom

"I have been curious to know." "Mom, not now," Isla said. They were at the table ready for breakfast, Elliot and Ronan had left beforehand to get to work so they were left with only the ladies and Isla knew her mom was going to ask her sister about what happened that made her return home. Clara was glad to see her daughter, but she wanted to know why she was suddenly home after going without contact for three years. "I know you are curious, and I would tell you, but can I first eat this delicious rice meal?" She looked up at her mom. Clara nodded and wondered if her daughter had been starved of good meals since she left the house. "Have you not been eating well?" she asked, and her daughter smiled at her and shook her head. "Mom, I have been eating very well, so you do not need to worry." Clara made a sound at the back of her throat; it was obvious she was not impressed by the answer that her daughter had given her. "Aren't you going to eat?" Elara asked, looking up at her

"Mom, I am at work. Why are you calling me?" Micah said rudely over the phone to his mom. "Can't a mom call her son again? Why are you being so rude to me so early in the morning?" Cora replied."Why are you calling?" Micah asked, ignoring her questions. He knew how dramatic she could be and what she could do to him just because he ignored her call, and that was the reason he picked up. "Can Zara join us for dinner tonight?" "Mom, I don't know; why do you want her to join us for dinner?" "Since we can't meet her family, I invited your aunty and her husband so she could get familiar with the family," Cora said beaming with pride. "MOM," Micah said, almost screaming her ears off. "What is it? Why are you screaming at me?" Cora asked her own voice going up as well. "Why wouldn't I scream at you? I explained to you a million times why we have to keep this a secret from others, and yet you have gone to invite Aunty and Uncle? Why did you think this was okay without asking me first?"

"About the meeting with the prime minister," Isla began as she paced around the room. Elara dropped her phone to her body because she heard from her sister's tone that she wanted to say something important. "Is there something wrong? Are Dad and Mom not supposed to be going there?" Elara asked, sitting up and looking at her seriously. "It's not that..." Isla trailed off, making Elara panic a bit more. "Then what is it? Is the business still safe? Are Dad and Mom still safe? Do you think there might be trouble looming?" Elara knew she was supposed to be the laid-back sibling who does not worry, but somehow the incident she just faced had ignited something inside her that made her fearful, and she did not even know it. "It is not that; I mean, when they are out together, should we go for dinner?" Isla said she felt a bit bad that she had made her sister go through the torture. "What?" Elara's face squeezed together as she bent her mouth to a corner and her eyebrows raised. "You

"You sure chose a fancy place," Elara said as they walked in. "A fancy place?" Isla was not sure if her sister was being cheeky or serious. This was one of the least fancy places she was able to get because of how close to the time they were booking, and since they did not use their real identities while up and about, they could not get in like their dad or Ronan would. "Yeah, look at all the lights and decorations Oh my gosh, it's been a while since I've been at a place like this." Elara's three years out of her family home meant that she lived like a peasant, and Isla seeing it firsthand angered her the more to hate Micah. "Are you saying that when you were with Micah you did not have dates in places like this?" Isal asked."He said that dates were a waste of money." Elara began her eyes darting to the painting on the wall as she smiled at how beautiful it was before adding under her breath. "But he had the money to cheat on me at one of the fanciest restaurants in our part of to

"Ezra?" Isla raised her head to look at him, and truly he was standing there. "You see him too, right; this is in my mind." Elara leaned in and whispered to her sister, and she nodded. "Oh well," she said, almost yelling and looking up. "What are you doing here?" "I am here for dinner with my sister," she said playfully, waving the menu in hand. "What about you?" she continued. Ezra seemed uncomfortable as she shifted from one leg to another and then shook his head. "Well," he began and then stopped to clear his throat. She raised her eyebrow at him and wondered why it was so hard for him to just say that he was there for dinner. "You don't have to say it if it is that hard," she said and then smiled at him. "It's nice to see you anyway," she said, looking back down at her menu. She felt a bit fuzzy inside; why did seeing him do that to her? "It's not that I don't want to tell you; I just did not want you to hear like this." "Hear what?" Isla asked, being nosy and also because

"Ezra," Olivia-Marie nudged his side after she saw him spacing out. "Yeah?" he muttered, looking around. All the eyes of her five friends were firmly looking at him; they must have asked him a question, and the way they were looking at him indicated they needed an answer. He wondered how someone would have five closet friends and thought it was right. He wondered what their relationship was like. "Why are you spaced out so much?" one of the friends on a pixie cut asked. "He must be busy with work," Olivia-Marie responded, trying to create an impression that was the reason he was so spaced out. "Can you give us a minute?" she asked, sliding off the chair and asking him to follow her. "Don't take more than a minute," another friend yelled as they walked away. All the other girls began laughing, and Ezra knew it was an annoying joke he might never be able to get, and he was not ready to be bothered by it."Definitely," Olivia-Marie said before walking faster. She found a spot where t

Ronan went to the bar that the bartender was able to give him over the phone. After leaving the office, he called Chole back because he realised that she did not give him an address, and the bartender picked up instead, telling him that she had passed out from drinking. He gave out the address and asked him to come pick her up before she made a scene there. As he drove there, he could not help but wonder why Noelle had not stopped him; he wondered if she was truly not interested in him. He knew that if he had heard her ex was calling her and she had taken off like he did, then he would have tried all he could to stop her by all means. She did not seem moved at all by his decision to go and do whatever it was with Chole. She stayed professional till the very end, which annoyed him a little.He wondered if it was wise of him to continue clinging to her when she was clear about her feelings; maybe it was time to let go.

It was the first Saturday in a long time that Ronan had made Noelle work. He wanted to spend time with her, and he knew that if he asked her outright, she was going to refuse. She saw the hidden intention behind his cations but could not call him out. She was going to ignore him and whatever he did with hopes of it going away with time. He was going to get bored and begin to focus on other things; soon he would have to get married and have children, and she did not see herself in any of it."We have been working for a while, so I ordered some Chinese takeout, and it will be here soon. Let's take a break to eat it as soon as it comes," Ronan announced. He had made her sit in his office to work, and she agreed because she wanted to prove to both of them that he did not have any effect on her. At this pace, she might have some free days later in the moment as she was able to finish up some tasks before the deadline, leaving her with little or nothing else to do during the month."Okay, s

“An asshole? Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?” He said, his voice rising in annoyance. “You do not like being called that?” She asked," “Then why on earth do you act like one?” she asked, raising her voice to him. “You were expecting a love story? Is this a book or a movie? You're not a child, and you should grow up,” he replied. “I agree I was a fool for allowing myself to be fooled by you, but you are an asshole for trying to play me. I have invested all I have to try to get married to you. I went to my father because I believed that we shared something great between us, but what did you do? You only saw me as a tool to make your family great. You wanted to be chairman, and I was supposed to be your stepping stone,” she said, tears flowing freely from both eyes. “Did you ever love me?” She asked again. “I just told you that I did; I only approached you because you caught my fancy.” “If I weren't rich, would you have slept with them and then dumped me with no p

Micah squeezed the phone in his hand angrily; his mind could not help but run with ideas as he wondered who it was that had picked up Elara's phone. He had not been sure up until now if he wanted to pursue Elara like his mom said, but somehow the idea of her being with another man sent anger through his body. He had thought somehow that she would end up alone, and he did not know why he thought that.Elara being out with a man at this time meant that she had moved on easily. He sat behind the desk in the ministudy he had crafted for himself. He needed to get work done from home and had changed one of the rooms to that. He swept everything on the table to the floor, everything in glass crashing to the floor with a loud smashing sound."What was that?" Cora asked as she pushed the door open. She was in the room too quickly, as if she were just around the corner. She looked at her son standing over a heap of files and shatter glass. "Don't move," she screamed when he tried to walk away.

They finished eating and retired to the car, where they stayed talking and Ezra was constantly trying to sneak kisses as much as he could. When it was already getting late, they both knew they could not be out any longer. For Elara, it would look weird that she spent the entire day out of the house for a solo date. She was shocked that when she was about to leave the house in the morning, her mom did not make a fuss about it and just let her go. She had expected at least a few calls checking up on her, but they never came. She was not sure how she was supposed to feel about the situation."Shall we go?" Ezra asked, and she nodded. They had both tried to avoid leaving, but eventually it came."Should we do this again tomorrow?""What? Sneaking around on a date?" he asked with a smirk on his face, teasing her."Yeah," she responded with a smile, facing him in the car. "Let us sneak around tomorrow again," she said, and he laughed. "What is so funny?""At first you thought it was a bad i

Elara gets to the parking lot; she settles in her car for a moment before walking over to Ezra's car and getting in. She had warned him not to get down to get the door or anything gentlemanly like that. She kissed his cheek as she settled into the chair."Is that all I get? After waiting a week?" he asked in a grumbling voice."What?" she asked with amused fits of laughter breaking from her."I mean, all week you kept cancelling our dates.""Because I did not want to get caught," she cut him off to explain. She would be sad if he got the wrong idea, and she knew that he knew and was just trying to throw a fit for a kiss."I know but now that you've seen me for the first time all week, shouldn't you be happier and kiss me better?" He asked plainly, causing her to blush. She planned to kiss him later but his asking outrightly made her stomach twist with joy."Ezra!" she gasped as she hit his hand gently. "How can you be so brazen to say such things without thinking too much about it?" s

It was finally the weekend, and Elara was happy because they could go on their date in peace. Ezra had somehow found a way for them to go together. He told her to drive her to the nearest station, and he would pick her up from there. She did not know if it was a good idea, but he had made her see reason. That way, after the date, he could drop her off at the station, and she could take her car with her and be on her way home."Don't you think you'll be tired after driving a long distance?" Ezra asked her when they spoke on Friday evening. She wanted to tell him that she could easily make the trip to and fro, but she was not even confident in herself, not because she could not drive, but because for her, driving was only a wanted skill and not a needed one. She was more inclined to sit in the passenger's seat and act calm while someone else did all the heavy moving."I had thought of it too," she began, as she could not believe that all it took for him to convince her were a couple of

"You are here to apologize to me?" Elara repeated her words back to her in a question form. "Why? Is Micah not good to you? Do you want to return him back because he is not exactly what you saw on the outside?" the questions left her mouth faster than her mind could comprehend.She did not intend to be mean and even though she was grateful for her breaking them off she could not help but still feel a little hurt. As at the time it happened she did not know that it was going to be a favour for her so her feelings at that time were valid. "Elara...""Oh does my life that looked so rosy from the outside not look as good as it did anymore? Is Micah unbearable? And his mom? Do you not like her anymore? Just because she does not want you around?" Elara wondered where she was getting all of the words from and how easily she was able to articulate herself to him."I mean most times poeple's life look like a dream when you are looking at it from the outside, once you are in it you get to know
