"How is work going?" Elara thought the question was directed at her so she pushed down the food in her mouth quickly to answer.

"It's a new experience but I think I am already getting a hang of it slowly," she replied.

"I think that's fantastic; if you get a hang of it quickly, I am sure you will be promoted quickly by the board," Elliot said before pushing a forkful of eggs into his mouth. He looked in the direction of his son; he knew that when Clara had said she wanted to ask him, she was asking him to lead the conversation and she would pick it up from then. "Ronan, what about you?" he asked.

Ronan looked up a bit surprised. His parents liked having these kinds of conversations but he always told them to leave him out of it, even though it really did not work that way. They obeyed his wishes a bit and did as they wished sometimes.

"It's been the same for me," he said silently as he continued eating. He began to fill his mouth so that he would not be able to say anything if they as

    Ronan watched her take out her phone and contemplate whether to take it or not. He would not usually call her at this time an expert; it was an emergency because it was stated in their contract. He watched her press her eyes shut and then take up the phone. She cleared her throat, using her hand in a fist to cover her mouth before she slid her hand across the phone and placed it on her ears."Good morning, Mr Quinn," she began. Her voice and the expression on her face did not match at all."Morning, Ms Richards, look up," he said. He watched her look up straight and then his head began to go from side to side slowly until she spotted the car. "Aren't you going to come?" he asked when she remained rooted to the place she stood."Why should I, sir?" It was obvious she was adding in the last part to create an illusion of space between them and her tone told him that it was not going to be an easy thing to convince her to come. "I do not begin work until an hour from now," she replied. Sh

    Noelle began coughing as she heard what he had said. She looked at him as her chest shook and coughs spluttered out of her mouth. She would have been okay if it was a joke but Ronan had a straight expression on his face."That night when you drank with me and fell asleep in my room, ever since then it's been like you have built your nest in my mind and I can't seem to get you out. I kept showing up around you, not by coincidence but because whenever I sat behind the wheel, my mind could only take me to where you are."Hearing Ronan talk left Noelle speechless. One thing she had promised to never do was confess her feelings, no matter how much they weighed in her mind; it was only going to make things messy and she did not need messy; she needed a job. "I don't exactly know what these feelings are and the more I try to figure it out, the more I get confused so that's the reason I have to speak to you.""I think you should see a doctor," she said and his face scrunched up in a frown."W

    'PULL AWAY! YOU SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS, THIS IS WRONG ON ALL LEVELS' She screamed to herself in her mind but she could not bring herself to pull away; instead, she was leaning in more to the kiss and responding as if she had been starved for such a long time. She had wanted to kiss him to know what it was like; it had been one of the thoughts that plagued her so much. now that she had it, she wondered how she was supposed to survive not doing it again. It was more than what she had imagined it to be.Ronan pulled away and sat still looking at her. "You did not pull away; you kissed back," he said with a chuckle."Is this a joke to you?" she asked, hearing the chuckle. She already felt bad for what she was doing and now she felt even worse that he laughed. She should have saved her dignity and pulled away, slapped him across the face while asking him to act like her boss. Instead, she gave in to her desires and kissed him and now he was laughing in her face."You have gotten it all w

    Elara swallowed the lump in her throat just because she could not take it anymore; it felt like someone had taken time out of their busy day to tie up her throat, and it felt itchy. She cleared her throat and straightened her back as she walked through the restaurant.She looked to one table in the corner; her boyfriend Micah's back was to her, and she took a deep breath, clutching tightly to the handle of her purse. As she approached the table, she wished that this was different.When she first caught on that he was cheating, she did not believe it one bit because there was no way that her boyfriend, who swore to love her even though he was too closed off to show it to her, was showing another girl with flowers and chocolates and dinner dates; she could believe that the same man she had been with all these years was cheating on her.But when her sister called to tell her that she was getting out and that everyone knew that he was getting married to Zara, she knew that she did not sta

    "You are the heiress?" Elara asked, letting out a long laugh. She was angry to meet her boyfriend with a woman, but it amused her that this woman was pretending to be the woman she hid from Micah all these years. She did not want anyone going after her for her family money and influence but for who she was. "But I hear that no one knows what she looks like, so how can we be sure that you are the one?" Elara followed with continuous laughter. She was sure that her siblings would have a field day with this information if they got to hear it. Her father had been the expert at keeping his children away from the public and had only introduced her brother Ronan when he was twenty years old to the media because he said he had to learn the ropes of the business. Since Elara stayed hidden from the press, it was easier for her to live a life of freedom. "Are you saying that I am lying?" Zara asked, shifting on her feet uncomfortably. "Of course not; how can I call you an impersonator?" She

    "Regret this? Regret marrying to the Quinn family?" Micah scoffed like she had just told a lie. "I don't think so," he said with a smirk on his face."Oh, boo, don't listen to her; she must be crazy," Zara chimed in."Crazy? You are calling me crazy? I am the crazy one here?" She said, looking around, hoping that the people around her would help her judge the matter."Both of you are shamelessly out here cheating on me, and you think I am the crazy one? In what world are you the sane ones?" She did not even know she had those kinds of words brewing on the insides of her."If you know he is cheating on you, as you said, why don't you let him be?" Zara asked, air-quoting the word cheating. "Moreover, if you were never in a relationship, why would it be cheating?""Did he say that?" Elara asked, quietly dropping the plate in her hand to the table and cleaning off the soup residue that had stuck to her hand on the napkin. "Did he tell you that we were not in a relationship?""Well, he did

    Elara held her cheek as the words she had been saying were now lost in her throat; she could not believe that she had been slapped across the face by Micah's mistress. The two of them stood there, Zara's chest rising and falling in annoyance as she balled her hands into a fist by her side. "Imposter? Who are you calling an imposter?" She screamed at her. The entire restaurant was now fully focused on them. The couples who were there on dates would probably think that the show before it was more enticing than their date. "I guess you must really be an imposter," Elara replied. She had always been a confident girl, but meeting Micah had done something to her and made her believe that for her to be accepted, she needed to be sevirle and submissive to everyone, and everything around her meant that she had forgotten the training that her father had given her. "Do not call me that," Zara said through gritted teeth. "Why should I?" What else am I going to call you? You are here claiming

    "I finally got rid of her, and I did not have to do much work," Micah said as they walked to his car. They had to leave the restaurant immediately because of the embarrassment that came with the scene that Elara had created for them. Immediately she stormed out as if she had won; he paid the check and left with Zara in his hand. "Since you have been able to ditch the b*tch, how about we go ahead and have the wedding as planned?" Zara suggested, poking his chest roughly. "Of course, we are going to have the wedding next week," he announced. "Now just remember, since my parents do not want me to be exposed to the public, they would not be attending the wedding, and they would not be sponsoring it either, so you have to do all of that by yourself, and also I cannot access my trust fund until I get married and have a baby," Zara said. "Oh my darling, what do you take me for? I definitely remember all that you said, and I am going to keep it to them all. As long as Mr. Quinn has agreed

    "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
