"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

"Why are you coming back alone?" the girl with the pixie cut asked as Olivia-Marie approached the table. "Yeah, something urgent came up so he couldn't stay longer." Olivia-Marie lied as she slid back into her chair. "Did you guys make out at the back?" another girl asked, pointing to the direction she was coming from. "What are you saying?" Olivia-Marie pretended to blush as if something had really happened. She could not let these girls know that she and Ezra's relationship was rocky and not what they thought. At first, they always thought that she was making him up since there was never any evidence. No pictures, no gifts, no physical boyfriend to show, and now that he had shown up, they were a bit convinced, even though some of them still had doubts about it. Olivia-Marie had always wanted to prove she would be the first to get married in their crew, so it would not be unlikely that she was staging the whole thing. "I thought he would stay a bit and maybe pick up the tab," t

"Sooo...""Isla, can you please not talk about Ezra?" Elara said that because she knew that was what her sister was about to bring up. "Oh my gosh!" Isla exclaimed as if something surprising had happened. "How did you know what I wanted to talk about?" "Because before we left the restaurant, you have been itching to talk about it." "But still, how do you know what I was about to talk about?" Isla asked, still shocked at her sister's skills. "The same way you were able to know that that one out of those girls at the table was getting married." Elara closed her eyes and rested her head, and the car went slowly over the express. Elliot's one rule for all of his drivers was driving within the minimum speed. "I just don't understand it," Isla said as if she were talking to herself when in reality she just wanted to know why her sister and Ezra broke up. They were the perfect high school couple. The school they went to was only for the rich and wealthy, so when Ezra confessed to Elar

"But Dad...""Don't you dare say anything." Elliot was fuming. He could not imagine that, after all his daughter had gone through, she still thought it would be a good idea for them to let Micah go. "If you are kind, be wise about it.""Dad, it was a mistake, and I am sure that spending a night in the cell must have taught him a little about life," she replied.Elliot frowned and turned to his wife. He had tried his best, but it seemed like his daughter was not getting anything he was saying. Maybe if Clara tried to explain, she would understand it better."How do you know he has learnt?" Clara asked, and Elara opened her mouth to speak, but her mom raised her hand to stop her. "You do not know that; all you know is what kind of evil person he is. A person who thinks about drugging you—who knows what he can do if he is set loose? It is obvious that he is trying to get something, and do you think he is going to stop just because we locked him up for a day?" Clara hoped her words would

Cora could not bail out her son all morning after telling him that Zara had served him divorce papers and that it was the best for him to sign them. He listened to his mother because he also thought it was an opportunity for him to escape her; after all, he thought getting a divorce from her was his salvation. His mom assured him that she had a good plan that was going to get him out of there before the end of the day, and he needed to trust her because that was the only way he would stay sane.After a few hours, the officer came to see him and told him that the Quinn family had requested that he be moved to the headquarters, as that is where the case would be handled, so now he had to be moved in a police van back to the city."What is your plan?" Micah asked his mom. She looked at him and shook his head. Moving him from a small station like this to a big one meant that she could do nothing. Now that the Quinn family had taken over, they would do all in their power to make sure that

"What do you mean, your fault?" Ezra was thrown back by her words. She was the victim, and yet she was acting like everything that had happened happened because of her. "What do you mean?" he asked, taking her hand into his gently and rubbing it softly. "None of this is because of you," he added when her body shook from the soulful tears streaming down her face.He walked down from the car and went to her side of it, opening the door and turning her to him. He hugged her before murmuring silently that all was okay to her. He did not know how he was supposed to comfort her. After minutes of sobbing, she finally calmed down, and Ezra drove out of the place, taking her home.As soon as he was there, he was greeted by Clara, who was busy in the living room. "Ezra?" she said when she saw him walk in with her daughter. "Elara? Aren't you coming back tomorrow morning?" she looked from each of them, confused. Ezra carefully let Elara sit beside him before proceeding to explain the situation t

Micah had never thought that this was going to escalate as much as it did with him sitting in the police station. The police have asked him to call his family and tell them that he would be spending the night in the station. Elara was still stunned as she couldn't believe what would have happened to her if Mia had not intervened. She wondered why she had trusted that he would be clean enough for her to get a drink from him. He had never shown signs of this before."Officers, I can tell you that this was a mistake.""We would know if it was a mistake or not once we analyse the content of the drink," the officer said. His voice pulled Elara out of the thoughts she had been lost in."Ms., you can go, and we will be sure to call you as soon as we get the results. You must be in shock now, so I advise you to go to rest, and I am sure you are glad that you had not sipped out of it," the man said. Elara looked into the distance as she nodded to everything he said. She was hearing him, but sh

"Don't drink that!" Mia yelled as she stopped in front of Elara.Elara lowered the glass as she blinked and turned to Mia, waiting for her to catch her breath. Mia stood up straight and turned to Micah with a frown on her face. "I saw him slide some powder into that drink," she announced, causing everyone who was standing around to gasp loudly."What powder? What do you mean by that?" Micah stuttered. He thought he had been careful, but how could he think that the teenager was watching him do that?"I saw you do that," Mia replied with her foot down. "What was the powder you put in?" she asked, crossing her hands over her body and giving Micah the side eye."Why on earth would I put powder into it?" he asked, turning so he could face the girl well. He knew that he had been caught already, and his mind was spinning with excuses on how he was supposed to get out of that situation unscathed. This could land him in a police cell."Micah?" Elara's voice was shaky as she spoke. She knew tha

Micah stood stunned as he watched Elara walk away; he thought that he had gotten a stroke of luck when Elara had shown up there even though he did not plan for it. His management specialist had told him that if he could manage to secure a contract with Mrs. Red Farms, then he would have nothing to worry about and he thought that it must be a good idea, so he came up there, and when he saw Elara, he thought that the universe was on his side. When he left the house early that morning, he was angry that his life had turned out this way; he kept on regretting leaving Elatra, knowing that he would have been the Quinn family son-in-law by now. He took out his phone angrily and dialled his mom's number because he could not think of anything else to do. It took her a while before she could get the phone."What took you so long to get the phone?" he screamed as soon as the call connected."Why are you so rude in the morning? I was beside the stove..." She trailed off as she waited for him to

"Elara? What are you doing here?" Micah asked, standing up and turning to her. Elara wanted to scream because she could not believe the day she was having. What were the chances that she would run into him here?"That is none of your business.""Then I guess I can not answer your question either," he said playfully as if they were friends. "But I guess it is nice to see someone familiar here.""Do you know him?" Mia whispered in her ear, and Elara nodded, turning to the girl with a tight-lipped smile."My ex-boyfriend, who cheated on me," she wanted to make it clear to everyone at the table that they were not close and she had no idea why Micah thought it would be a good idea for him to act as if all had always been well between them. Everyone at the table shifted uncomfortably. They all knew that it was going to be tough for them to get through to each other with the growing tension between both parties."Are you still hung up on that?" he asked as if she was exaggerating."Huhscoffe

"I think I like you," the old woman said with a chuckle, causing Elara to smile and think that this might not be as bad as she would have thought."I don't think you should smile yet," Mia whispered into her ears, causing the smile on her face to drop a notch. She looked at the girl, and Mia shrugged."So what are you here for?" Elara wondered why Mia had told her not to smile. Things seemed to be going well; at least Red was being comfortable with her. She took out a file that her father had handed her after dinner last night and tried to hand it over to the woman. Red looked down at it and smiled."I am an old woman; do you think I would be able to read all of the numbers you've conjured up here?" Red? asked Elara as her head lifted slowly. Elara cleared her throat. She had gone over the report, but she did not think that she would have to give a presentation, so she was not prepared for that."You did not prepare, did you?" Red asked and let out a mocking laugh. Elara swallowed the

Ezra had kept to his word and was outside the house very early the next morning. Elara felt touched by his actions. "You look too worried about this," Ezra said as he opened the door for her to get into the car. Elara waited for him to get into the car. "I am worried," she murmured."There is absolutely nothing to worry about. You've got this. She tried her best to believe what he said, but the doubt kept on plaguing her mind throughout the ride. Elara got off the car ride with Ezra; he promised to be back by the next day to pick her up. She nodded as the car drove down to the farm was silent, but she was able to gather enough courage by clinging dangerously to his hands as if his life depended on it. She walked into the farm, and from there she got confused on what to do. "Why on earth did everyone think I was capable of doing something like this?" She murmured as she stood in place. She walked into the farm not knowing where she was headed; she only planned to stop when she ca
