Back To Love BTL: 133
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

Elara fake smiled and stood up from the door. "What are you doing here? Are you no longer reading your book?""Your life and all of the drama that comes with it is way more fun than that book," Isla replied, climbing onto her bed and covering up her body with the blanket."You know you have a way with words...""What are you going to wear to the date?" Isla cut her off. They did not need to talk about her when she had a date that evening. You should choose what she would wear to ensure that Ezra falls for her again. Isla would help them in any way she could just so they could get together faster. She was in support of them by a full hundred percent."It is not a date," Elara corrected as she dropped her phone to the vanity table and propped her hand on her waist."Of course it isn't." Isla knew that if she was to go into conversation with her, then they would be going back and forth for a while so the best thing to do was just to agree with her."You don't believe me; Ezra and I are j

"Welcome, Mr. Thatcher, I'll get Elara." Unlike the first time Ezra had visited, the staff seemed to be more welcoming towards him than before. He had thought they would scrunch up their noses at him for the news flying around but he was greeted with a smile and ushered to the waiting room."Ezra?" Clara's said as she came out to his eye view. Ezra had seen Clara around but it was never like when he and Elara dated in the past."Mrs Quinn""Oh, please, since when was I Mrs. Quinn to you? I was always Clara and sometimes Mom, and I liked it." Ezra had been so close to the family that something was weird that he was not around."Mom," Ezra said. For some reason, it felt weird that she knew that he was trying to woo her daughter and she still wanted there relationship to revert to what it was before they broke up."That is much better; you went MIA because of Elara, didn't you?" When the breakup happened, Clara did not know who to side with so she decided not to act as if it had happened

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

Zara stood in front of her parents' house. She had thought that marriage to Micah would get her more money than her parents and that she would be able to give them, but it turned out that Micah was bluffing about his wealth just the same way she had been doing. She was left with more debt than she had before getting married to him. She could not leave him because she was sure that no one would want her or even want to be associated with her. Since she had the chance to get married to him, she was going to hold on. Getting married had been her dream and now she was able to accomplish it.She gathered all of her strength and walked up the stairs leading to her parent's home. One of the things she was grateful for was that she managed to not entangle her parents in the mess she created. How would she have been able to live with herself if it happened that way? Since she got married, she had not spoken to or visited them.However, after overhearing the conversation between Micah and Cora,

Elara stared at her phone in hand; it had been a week since she and Ezra broke off whatever it was they had between them. Even though she kept on assuring herself that there was nothing between them, she knew that the feelings she felt for him were the same as the ones she felt a few years ago. She wanted to call him up and tell him that she had spoken to Olivia-Marie and she had decided to step back so they could be together but she did not know how she was supposed to do so.Her phone began vibrating in her hand and she almost threw out the phone from her hand out of fear. She glanced at the screen and it looked familiar even though the number was unknown. She allowed it to ring and stop before it began to ring again. She picked it up and pressed it to her ear, waiting for whoever was calling to speak first."Hello?" Micah's voice rang through the air. She rolled her eyes; she knew he had to be the one. Micah had never been one to give up at first attempt so since the last time he c

Elara could not believe her eyes; she wondered why Olivia-Marie would come here to see her. "Are you going to tell them to move?" she asked. Elara was sure that there was something very different about the woman standing in front of her. She was not the same one who had bawled out her eyes at the gate the other day."Let her through," Elara said, taking her step forward. Both bodyguards shifted to the side for her to go through. "What are you doing here?" she asked and Olivia-Marie smiled."I am here to see you," she said and when the expression on Elara's face did not show her that she was welcome, she decided to explain. "Why do we talk? I am sure we have a lot to say."Elara turned to her assistant and gave orders. "Clear my schedule for the afternoon." She did not know why she did that but it seemed as if Olivia-Marie had something important to tell her."Okay, ma'am," she replied."I will go alone from here," she said. The bodyguards bowed to her before leaving without a fight; h

Olivia-Marie stood out of the gate; the man who had let her in had gotten an earful from Ezra and she stood there watching. She watched Ezra get into the back seat of the Range Rover; she began to think of when she thought he was the one for her and why she thought it. The driver drove past her and she tried to peer into the car but Ezra had his face buried in a book.She had promised herself that she had to have him for herself; he was everything that a woman would want in a man and even more, he was well-mannered and even rich. His beauty was nothing to joke about.She knew that if she kept pushing, she would be the laughing stock at the end but if she ended it now, then she would still be a laughing stock. Her friends were going to make endless fun of her life. She spent eight years clinging to a man she knew was going to leave her in a heartbeat; she knew that if his first love ever showed up, then this was the end. However, she did not want to accept it was the end so she held on
