Elara could not seem to get the thought of Ezra out of her mind; she felt so warm that he had come to see her so early in the morning and he had even brought freshly squeezed orange juice and some bread. She knew that his kitchen staff would have had to wake up extra early to get it done and that meant a set of people were inconvenienced, but the thought mattered a lot to her.She had spent the day trying her best to get a painting done; she had spent almost a month here at home but still, her creativity seemed to stop at a point. She was lying on her bed scrolling through social media when a post popped out of nowhere. Suddenly she was going viral for reasons she did not know.People before had mercy on her for what Micah had done to her but now they were calling her a gold digger that did not care about her family status. She for her life, could not understand why she was being called that or addressed that way; it made no sense and she had not done anything to get treated like that

Elara was supposed to feel relieved to hear Ezra say something like that to her, after all, he was reassuring her and there was something sexy about hearing a man be manly and reassuring like that. It felt good to hear but still, she could not shake off the feeling of uneasiness she felt as a result of it. "Ezra I do understand that you are saying that so that I don't get worried but still I feel like...""Elara, I don't want you to worry about things like this. Like I told you this morning, I spoke with her and she...""And she declared war on us both." Elara cut him off this time. "She declared war; if war is being declared plainly to our face, do you think being quiet about it is the right thing to do?" she asked. Her father would make any rumour in the news go away but other than a little gossip here and there, this was the first time the media was sticking their noses down their family's private business week after week.First, it was Chole and Ronan and even though that did not

Chole had been avoiding her dad all week but since it was Saturday and he was not going to go to work, she knew it was going to be impossible for her to avoid him. How was she supposed to sneak some makeup artists and hair stylists into the house to help her get ready for the party?She was meeting Roland for the first time and she wanted to look good, at least to make a good first impression, even though Ephiram had told her that she would not have much to impress. At least three mistresses were living in the house with her father and they lived in peace, which was surprising. Even though all three of them knew that they could never become the wife to Roland, they still stayed because he was doing it the wrong way but still he was a lever boy and a real one at that.She paced her room until she gathered enough courage; she walked out; she knew that her father would be in the living room; he usually sat there on Saturday mornings and just lazed around; it was his way of blowing off st

Chloe had gotten ready and she was waiting for Ephraim to come pick her up. With the way her dad was acting, she was sure he would throw her out of the house before she could get married to him. She was a bit worried even though she had tried to convince herself that she was doing the right thing for herself.Every time her dad had tried to give her a position in the company, she had evaded it as she preferred partying instead of anything else. She had no good reputation and only got into trouble from time to time. She feared that her father might hold onto his word and she would get nothing from him. He was a ruthless man indeed and he might put the company in the care of a specialist instead of her at the end of the day even though she was not capable of taking care of it.She saw Ephraim's car come up and she tried to pull off the expression from her face because she knew he would know almost immediately that something was wrong but she was going to try. He parked in front of her

Chole stepped out of the car and looked around; the Santiago's were not as bad as her dad portrayed it. The house was majestic, at least from the outside. She was nervous to meet Ephraim's family; the nervousness she felt overrode the fear of her father. She swallowed as she hoped they would at least think she was worthy of their son. "Don't worry, they will love you." Ephraim held her hand and squeezed; she turned to him and tried to smile but it came out weary. "You need to relax or else we can't go in," he said, turning to her. He held her shoulders and rubbed on them as if he were trying to ease out the knots in them; she closed her eyes as she felt his hands work through them. "I am relaxed," she said, her eyes fluttering open so she could stare at him. "I have a huge family," he announced and she nodded. She knew that everyone in the country knew that. It was as if Roland had a mandate to leave his seed at every corner of the earth. He was getting older and the number of chil

"Hello, Mr. Santiago." Chole took a step forward as if she were trying to close the gap between them and then began to rethink her decisions. "I am Chole Prescott," she continued as if she did not expect the man to know who she was.Roland let out a hearty chuckle and waved his hand in the air as he settled into the head of the couch set in the middle of the room. "Don't be silly; I know who you are," he said, and then stopped chuckling, licking his lips, and looking at her from head to toe. "You don't have to be formal with me; just Roland is fine."Chle could not tell if he was being friendly with her or if he was flirting; she cleared her throat and shifted from foot to foot, uncomfortably unsure of what her next line of words should be. Before her thoughts could settle, Ephraim was already speaking. "So uncool, Dad," he said, taking a step forward and holding her hand as she had fallen out of line when she stepped forward the other time."What is so uncool?" Roland asked with a co

Everyone was judging Elara; they were not sure of the reason but it felt nice to judge the daughter of the Quinn family. Many people were jealous of her position and to them, it made sense for her to get judged."Care to explain this to me?" Elliot asked Elara. He had asked Elara to come into the study so he could talk with her. She knew what he was going to talk about. She wondered if he did not know about Olivia-Marie. If he knew about her, he should have anticipated the fact that she would try to pull something like this."Do I need to explain? It seems pretty self-explanatory to me," she said with her nose turned up."Huh, you now have a smart mouth, don't you?" he asked and she smiled at him."I do not have a smart mouth and I am just a victim of the situation," she replied."What does Ezra plan to do about this?" He asked because it was his mess and it was his to deal with. He hated that people were dragging him and his family into it. He was giving Ezra some time to fix it; if

"Why are you drinking so much?" Celeste asked, lowering the shot glass from her mouth. He narrowed her eyes at Noelle, who took up another glass, pouring the content straight into her throat as she narrowed her eyes and her face squeezed."Because it is Friday," Noelle replied with a shrug."Is that going to be your answer? Really?" Celeste could tell that something was wrong; since Noelle started working for Ronan Quinn, she became very much inaccessible and the only times she came out to places like this was when Ronan came out. "In two years you have barely honoured my invitations to get drinks on the weekend and you come straight from work into this bar and you keep chugging down your drinks."Noelle pressed her lips into a thin line and smiled with her eyes before taking the last shot glass on the table and pouring it into her mouth. "And you ate drinking so much? Something is wrong; it is very obvious that something is terribly wrong," Celeste murmured."My dearest friend, I thi

"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
