"Long time no see, Noelle Richards." His voice resounded in her mind like a poison dart was thrown at her. She did not want to acknowledge him; he was not worth it."Celeste, shall we go?" Noelle said not bothering to turn to him. She saw his eyes and they were unmistakable; he was the one; he was the reason her life was the mess it was at that moment. She took a deep breath and Celeste did not need any more words to know what she meant. She looked up and threw a stink eye at Felix before taking a couple of bills from her wallet and giving them to the bartender."Keep the change," she murmured to him before holding her friend's hand and helping her to her feet.Noelle shuddered as she felt a hand over her shoulders. She was wearing a long-sleeved shirt but still, she could feel his callous cold hands through the shirt. "Let go of me," she murmured gently, not trying to cause a scene."Are you going to ignore your father?" he asked and she did not know how it happened but she felt a te

Noelle looked up and she was stunned to see Ronan standing there with Felix's hand suspended in the air by his. "Who do you think you are?'Noelle looked around; there were cameras everywhere and Ronan was not supposed to be doing this; this could hurt his reputation. She wanted to stop him but her mind and body seemed to be discontinued. She could not tell him to leave Felix because, if she was being honest, he deserved it.Felix narrowed his eyes at her face and then a cocky smile appeared on his lips. "I thought the rumours were all lies but apparently my daughter really is working for a big shot." His words were plain but his tone irritated Noelle. She was barely holding herself back from landing a slap across his face. "You are Ronan Quinn, aren't you?""Mr Quinn" Noelle stepped forward. She did not know what this man could do and she did not need him to interact with her father at all. "You can let him go now; he is my father," she said and swallowed. She could not believe that

Ronan did not know if the right thing to do was to leave Noelle there by herself but he did not want to get into any news that might affect himself and his family. He knew that as he was leaving, no one was going to step in to help her if that man she called her father tried to do anything to her. He could only hope that she was okay. SATURDAY MORNING Ronan rarely worked on Saturdays and even when he did, he always gave Noelle notice so she did not have to be caught unawares; however, he said as if she was going to be okay after the encounter last night. More than anything, he felt bad that he had run off by himself and left her alone and it looked like she was drunk too. "This morning?" Noelle scratched her head as she sat in bed. Ronan's call was the reason she had woken up. As far as she knew, there was no reason for them to work on the weekend. She was not sure if she could make it out of bed because of the terrible hangover she felt. "Yes, Ms. Richards, is there any problem

Ronan was driving by when he saw Noelle standing with that man from last night. He did not feel comfortable knowing that he might have spent the night at her place; she called him her father but she could not ignore the way she reacted to him. All of her body language was off and he knew it was not for a good reason. He slowed down as he rolled down the window and honked at her. He watched them both turn to him, a shock of expression on both their faces.He watched Felix lean into her and whisper something and how much her expression hardened as if she were uncomfortable. He honked again and beckoned to her. She turned to her father and said something; he frowned with his eyes darkening and he knew that she must have said something to set him off. She flipped her hair in his face before holding onto her bag as if she were scared that someone would snatch it from her and then she walked to the car.She stood by the rolling-down window and bent her head. "Mr. Quinn, what are you doing h

She was curious to see where he was going to take her, so she kept to herself until he stopped in front of a small bar. She looked at the name and squinted her face. Light and Love coffee and booze shop. She had never thought that there would come a day when she would see coffee and booze paired together. To her, it made no sense, but she kept all of her thoughts to herself.The shop looked like something out of a children's book, less like a shop that would sell anything and more like a cottage where an old woman would live. She knew that the insides must be warm and fuzzy and that this might be a good ambience to help her escape reality."Get down," Ronan said, snapping her back to reality. She opened her mouth to respond, but he was out of the car and by her side before she could process it all. She struggled with the door, but he pulled open the door."What are we doing here?" she asked when she was safely out of the car."For coffee or alcohol," he said, pointing to the sign as i

"Why would you get the wrong idea? You are my staff and I am taking care of you. Why should you?" He trailed off suddenly and she thought that maybe he had gotten it. He gasped and she felt blood rush to her cheek and her face get hot. "Are you doing this because you think that if I take care of you today, you would have to do the same for me? Don't worry, it can be a mutual agreement between us to take care of each other."When she heard his theory, she did not know if she should be proud of herself or not, if she should be happy or cry. Was she that good at hiding her emotions or was he just clueless? She decided to settle on being clueless since he had also not seen how much Chole did not like him when they were together."I don't want to talk about this again; let us just head back to the city. If there is anything to do at the office, we can go do it, or else we can just go home," she said, turning to grab the handle of the door. Before her hand could grab it, Ronan's hand hovere

Elara spent the entire Saturday lying in bed thinking about why her dad would ever force her to take up a role. He had said it like a suggestion and that she should think about it but somehow she knew that she did not have a choice but to comply with what he wanted. She would have to start working with her family. With no experience. When she brought it up, her father said that she did not need any fancy experience and she would learn on the job. She had told her father she was going to take her time thinking about it and that he was not to tell anyone until she gave him an answer and he agreed with her.She wanted to complain about it but surprisingly, she had caused more scandals than her brother, who had been in the limelight. She glanced at her clock and it was a few minutes past noon. She took up her phone and looked at it; there were no messages—at least none of the ones she wanted to see. She wondered what Ezra was up to and why he was yet to reach out to her on the weekend.Ev

"I thought that was what you wanted. Why then are you surprised by it?" Elara threw her sister a strong glance. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Isla continued without looking up at her sister. She could feel the gaze."Excuse me," Elara said, bending to pick up her phone as she raced out of the room. Isla raised her head and then returned it back to her book with a head shake. She was somewhat happy that her sister had all of that going on in her life, even though she had been somehow battered.By the time Elara had gotten into the room, the phone had stopped ringing but he was calling back almost immediately. She sat on the bed, turning her head to the side and coughing while clearing her throat with her hand over her mouth. She slid her hand across the phone and put it to her ears."Hello?" Ezra's voice rang in the air and as if Elara had not been sure he was the one calling, she felt a sigh of relief to hear his deep voice. She gulped, hoping that her voice and tune were not

"Let us sit for breakfast," Clara said as the staff finished setting up the table. Elara and Isla sat while Clara went to get Ronan and Elliot. She was halfway up when she saw her son come down. "Good morning, Mom." "Good morning, son." She passed by him and stopped to look at him. He looked worried and she knew that asking him was going to be an effort in futility. If he was not telling them without asking, then no matter how much they pressed, he would not say a word. She wondered if things were getting tough for him to handle. She knew that asking was futile but she was still going to ask because she cared. She went to the room to get her husband. "You are running late for breakfast this morning." "You left the bed before I could see your face." Clara was an early bird and instead of laying in bed, she always wanted to be up on her feet doing something so she would leave the bed to ensure that everyone had good meals in the morning. "I have told you time and time again that I

Elara got into the room and sat on the bed. She took out her phone and saw about five messages from him.Let me know when you get home.Did you get home safe?Why are you not responding again?Did I do something wrong?Elara?She smiled at her phone and how cute he was being. She typed her reply to him. I am sorry I am just responding; I got in safe; I was just held at the door by Mom and Isla; they wanted to know where I had been.EZRA: So did you do a good job?ELARA: A good job at what?EZRA: Hiding where you had been.ELARA: Of course, don't you trust me?EZRA: I do trust you. I was not just sure if you would be able to wipe off the smile from your face because I can't. I have looked in the mirror twice and I am still smiling.They continued to exchange texts until Elara finally fell asleep; she had not had the chance to get out of bed and take off her clothes, hoping she would take them off when she was done texting him but the time never came.By the time the morning sun seeped

Elara got into the house after a few minutes of driving. She thought since it was late she would sneak into her room and just call it a night. Her phone vibrated with a message on the screen and she smiled, knowing who it was. Her smile deepened as she stood by the door, her bag in one hand and her phone in the other. She replied to his message before putting her phone back into the bag."Why are you smiling so much?" She looked up to the voice of her sister and both her mom and sister were standing side by side."I was not smiling," she replied, trying to wipe the smile off her face but she knew it was not working because her cheeks hurt. Since she poured out her mind at Ezra's place, she had been smiling a lot, and her heart felt light as a feather."Yeah, tell that to your curved lips and rosy cheekbones," Isla replied, taking gentle steps towards her with a smile on her face. It was not the kind of smile that showed one was happy; rather, it was a sarcastic, mocking smile. "I have

"I don't want you to leave," Ezra said, holding onto her hand as he walked her to the car. When they had finally been able to pull away from each other, he made her a quick and easy chicken recipe. She had the meal and blushed all through. It was already a few minutes past ten and because Elara mentioned that she needed to be at work the next day, she had to leave."We can see tomorrow," she said, holding tightly too."It is obvious you don't want to go too," he said. Stopping, he tugged on her hand to cause her to stop. She turned to him and tilted her head to the side."Of course not; it's late and I need to go.""Says who?" He leaned in and whispered."What am I going to tell my family?" she whispered, understanding the hidden meaning in his words. "And no matter what, I don't think that is right; we only got back together today and you have yet to ask me to be your girlfriend.""I thought you asked and that should be okay for us both," he said, pulling her hand so she was closer.

Elara and Ezra finally pulled away; he held her head in his hand and brushed back the hair on her face. "Do you know how long I have been waiting to do that?" he asked, gently rubbing his hand across her face."Me too," she murmured, bending her head out of embarrassment. She knew she was coming there to bear out her heart to him; she did not know that she was going to be the one to kiss him first. "Don't bend your head; I want to look at your face," he said. She wanted to jump back and call him out on his cheesiness but she liked the way it made her feel. She blushed, feeling blood soak up her cheeks as butterflies filled her stomach. "Why did it take you this long to come if this is what you wanted as well?" he asked."I told you, I was afraid," she murmured. Her tone was low and it was obvious she was trying to pick a side; she was not sure if she was embarrassed by what had happened between them or if she was happy it happened. There were mixed feelings and she was still trying t

"To tell you the reason I broke it off again was because...""Did you come here to tell me the reason why you broke it off? I already heard and understood the reason the first time."Wait!" She held his hand as he tried to get off the stool. She shifted her hand a bit to the back and then flushed in embarrassment. "I came here to tell you that for the first time in my life, I want to be selfish; I do not want to think about you and what you need or about Olivia-Marie and what she needs or wants; I want to think about myself alone and do what I want," she said.He blinks and shrugs. "Why are you telling me this? If you want to be selfish, then be selfish, but why are you dragging me into it?""Because my being selfish affects you, I am not going to give you up. I am going to cling to you for the longest time and I do not care if you do not want me around. I am going to be like that itch you cannot get rid of," she said and he almost laughed in her face. She was never the kind of person

She ran after him because he was walking with long strides and she knew that if she walked, she might not keep up with him. She took off her jacket and hung it on the coat hanger before following him into the kitchen. "Do you want anything to drink or eat?"She could tell that he was angry with her but he was still trying to make sure that his anger didn't cloud his judgement and make him do anything he would regret. "Just water would be fine," she murmured and he nodded.He took a glass from the cupboard and poured her a glass before thrusting it into her hand. "Why are you here?" He asked, looking everywhere in the kitchen aside from her.She climbed into one of the chairs and began shipping on the water. "To see you," she said quietly."Exactly, why on earth would you come to see me?" he asked. This time the anger he felt was substantial in the way he spoke. He cleared his throat and pulled out a chair two steps opposite her. "You ended things before they got a chance to start so w

Elara was finally able to get her work done; instead of sending a message to Ezra, she had decided to go over to his house to see him. They would be able to talk better when they were face-to-face. She got down to her car; her dad asked her if she needed a driver and she was not sure if there was a need to employ someone to drive her around when she could easily do it by herself. She drove herself to Ezra's house and was stopped at the gate."How can I help you?""I am here to see Ezra," she replied. The man looked her up and down before silently going back to the gatehouse. He picked up his phone and said something, going back and forth with whoever was on the phone before he came back to her. It was obvious he was reluctant to open up the gate for her. She kept a smile on her face."Mr Thatcher is not in," he explained and she nodded. She thought as much that he would not be back from work. She did not want to start any unnecessary drama on the news; that was the reason she did not

Chole sat in the living room with her planner. After meeting with Ephraim's family, she began planning the wedding. She did not wait for Ephraim to ask her to be his wife; she was sure it would happen and since she wanted to get out of her father's house faster, she knew it was best for her to speed up the process before it became unbearable for her.She heard the front door open and then shut. She knew it was her father; she thought she would be down with what she had to do before he came in. How was she to explain that she was planning a wedding he had disapproved of loudly in his living room? Since the day of the visit, her father has treated her like a stranger in the house. She did not want it to be that way but she did not know if there was anything to do to change her father's mind. Ephriam had told her that it would all work out.She heard the steps draw closer to them and she sat uptight, ready for war. "Who is this?" She turned in the direction of the voice and smiled."This
