"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

Ezra walked into his room with his tie that was always perfect but was now scattered on his neck and his hair disbelieved. He was holding his suit jacket in hand and looked like he had been drinking even though a drop of alcohol had not dropped on his tongue in weeks. He threw the jacket in hand to the bed and sat on it slowly. He had been searching for years, and yet Elara had not turned up. Why was she turning up just a few months before his wedding? When he saw her, all the emotions he had when she broke up with him eight years ago came rushing back. Elara was the first woman he had looked at and liked, and it had stayed that way. When he finally worked up the courage to ask her out, it was a relief that she felt the same way. They were kids according to their parents, but he thought it would stay the same way forever until the day after graduation."I waited a day after graduation to do this," she murmured as they sat in the garden of her house. "And I said we should do this ou

Elara fell to the bed. She stared at the ceiling, and all of the stars she put there when she was young had fallen out except for one that still stood in the middle. She stood up and switched off the light so the glow from the sticker could fill the room.She fell back as she stared at the sticker. "I guess one star isn't enough to glow," she whispered to herself. As she closed her eyes, the image of Ezra filled her mind, and no matter how she tried to refocus her attention on something else, all of her efforts were wasted.She had thought she had forgotten him; she thought he was in her past; she thought she had moved on and was in love with Micah. It made her really begin to question all she knew: did I really love Micah, or was he a way for me to forget the lingering pain that leaving Ezra had caused?She remembered, crying her eyes out, after telling him that she wanted to break up. Her heart was wrenching into tiny pieces, but she still believed that she had done the right thing.

"Dad, Mom," Zara said as she walked into the house. Sarah glanced at the clock and shook her head. She wanted to reprimand her daughter, but it was too late at night for them to begin to throw words back and forth at each other. If her daughter was out working and not partying, then she would not have a hard time allowing her to come back to the house at this time. "Where is Dad?" Zara asked, looking around the dim living room. Sarah was catching up on her favourite shows. "He is in the room," Sarah replied gently. She had wanted to ignore her daughter, so she did not feel the need to talk to her. "I will get him; can you please turn that off?" "What?""Can you turn off the television?" Zara asked as if she were the mother. "And why should I do that?" Sarah asked."Can't you act like a mother for once?" Carlos asked, coming into view. "Like a mother? And what is that supposed to mean?" Sarah asked, whipping her head in the direction of her husband. "If she is asking you to turn

"I have not yet introduced anyone to him yet, but I told him that I was a Quinn." "A Quinn?" Sarah asked confused. The name struck a bell in her mind, but she could not quite put her hand on it yet. She shook her head as it all came to her. "A Quinn? Your dad's boss?" she asked, her voice going up. "They have a daughter who has been missing for years now, and no one knows what she looks like." "And why would you do something like this?" Sarah asked."I am sure she has a plan, so maybe you let her...""A plan? What kind of plan do you think it can be? There is no justification for this madness," Sarah said, standing up as she began to pace around. "She lied; she is a Quinn to Amy, a rich man, I suppose. What then would happen after the wedding when he finds out that you aren't who you say you are?" Sarah could not believe that her husband. If she was not her daughter, she would have sworn that she put some kind of black magic on her husband to make him act the way he was. He would

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
