Back To Love BTL: 208
Everyone who mattered had gotten an invite sent to them directly, not to other families but to each individual and they were supposed to bring a plus one to the event. It was the monarch of society, Old Mrs. Smith, who had so much money that everyone wondered what was going to happen to it, but once she died, since she had no children or grandchildren. She had been the only child of her parents and had inherited a large fortune of money only to be left heartbroken multiple times, and so instead of trying to find love, she agreed that love was meant for everyone else and just focused on herself as much as she could instead and she had been able to multiply the wealth her parents left for her by a thousand in a few years.She was a little old woman who spoke fewer words each year, but she always gave the high society a reason to gather around. It was her birthday party, and everyone who got an invitation to it personally knew that they had climbed up the ladder that year and that they c

Elara had never been this excited for a party; it felt like she was finally doing something different from her normal routine, and Isla was shocked that her sister was that invested in going to the party. They had taken a full day to choose what they were going to wear; after all, there were going to be a lot of entertainment reporters covering the events, so their pictures were going to be splattered all over the internet in a few hours after that party, and everyone would either be judging or praising what they wore.When Elara was still with Micah, she had missed all these kinds of events, and maybe that was the reason her excitement was through the roof this time. Her mom had booked a high-ranking stylist and makeup artist to help them look better. Elara would have resisted, but things like this did not come every day, so she willingly got dressed."We were asked to bring a plus one, but I do not even know anybody," Isla groaned as she came into the room with a plate in hand. She

After driving for a while, the limo they were in finally got to the entrance of the party hall, dropping them off. They walked from the entrance to the main hall that was littered with reporters taking numerous pictures. The Quinn family walked majestically to the backdrop and red carpet. They got their pictures taken, and various questions were thrown at them. "Ronan should have come with us," Isla murmured to her sister's side."I know, right?" Elara replied with a smile. It would have been nice to have a picture from an event like that together as a family."We've put the worst behind us," Elara said as she walked into the hall with Isla draped on her hand. The experience was shorter than she thought it would be, but still it was too draining to be done very frequently."I thought you were excited for the party," Isla said, trying to make her voice audible over the music as they stepped in. One would think that Old Mrs. Smith would have classical music or some smooth jazz playing w

Elara walked around the hall greeting people as she moved; some people stopped to have a light conversation with her before moving onto the next person. She was searching for Ezra because she found it kind of ridiculous that she had yet to see him. The hall was not so big that she could not locate him, but somehow he seemed to be missing. She took out her phone and sent him a message asking where he was, but there was no response.She stopped by a table and had a light conversation with them, and as soon as she lifted her eyes, she saw Micah and his mom walking in through the main door. "Why are they here?" she found herself saying."What was that?""Oh, I am sorry, I must have said that out loud," she said to the people at the table, and they nodded in agreement. "Can you please spare me a moment?" she asked. She walked a bit and found her sister at a table filled with men."Excuse me, can I steal her away for a moment?" Elara asked in an anxious voice as she stopped by the table."N

Elara closed her eyes in anger; she could not believe how shameless he and his mom were being. Even though they had gotten in there, wouldn't common sense tell them that it was polite for them to avoid her? "Aren't you going to speak to me? Are you still angry?" He asked. "Angry?" Her eyes flew open, and she wanted to tell him that she was livid at him. He had been so shameless as to cheat on her and throw her out, and now he was showing up in front of her asking if she was angry. "I do not need to talk to you, so if you can please move over." She wanted to know how he had managed to get in there, but she did not want to be involved in a conversation with him. Hearing his voice alone was making her so angry that she wanted to scream, but that would only cause a scene for no reason. "Elara darling," Cora said, taking a step forward. Elara threw her head back with a surprised expression on her face. "What?" She could not help but force it out of her mouth. "Darling?" Cora had nev

Ezra pulled Micah out, with Micah trying his best to free himself from the strong grip, but Ezra was stronger than he thought. Cora followed behind because she could not understand why this strange man was pulling her son away. She knew him but what she could not understand was what Ezra Thatcher had to do with Elara. Ezra did not stop until he was away from public eyes in the garden outside. He let go of him, and Micah stumbled a bit. Ezra looked around with eyes going from side to side to make sure that they were alone."Are you okay?" Cora asked, rushing to her son and checking on him. Micah ignored his mom and charged at Ezra instead."What do you think you are doing?" Micah asked, raising his voice a bit."Don't raise your voice," Ezra said in the calmest voice. He was so angry to see this man cosy up to Elara, and that made him even angrier."I was having a conversation with Elara and you just came in and..." he trailed off and tilted his head. "What is your business with Elara?

Ezra walked into the hall and scanned for Elara. He was worried about her and he wanted to check on her. He was sure that if they had their relationship out in the open, then Micah would not have been that bold to do what he wanted to do. He saw her at an empty table all to herself and walked to her."Is this space taken?""Oh yeah, I am waiting for my very handsome boyfriend," she said, lifting her eyes to him with a smile. She gasped with her hand over her mouth as if she had just realised something. "Or you don't think he stood me up, do you?" she asked and he laughed."I highly doubt that; I mean, maybe he is still coming," he said, and she did not say anything in response. The table fell silent, but Ezra changed it almost immediately. "Are you fine?""Yeah, sure," she replied with a nod and a high-pitched voice."Yeah, that sponaro just told me that you are not fine," he said, mimicking her tone. She gasped and shook her head at him."That was just Micah being the most annoying i

Isla had left her sister to go talk to Mr. Smith but got caught up talking to her aide instead."Hi, hello, can I talk to Mrs. Smith? I have something important that she would need to know," Isla said when she met the man standing alone. "I have looked everywhere for her, but I can't seem to find her, so if you can lead me to where she is, I would really appreciate it," she added."Hello, nice to meet you. I am Marcus," the man said instead with a smile at her. She forced a smile and tilted her head."I am guessing you already know who I am, so there is no need for us to waste our time with instructions," Isla said. She had to admit that the man standing in front of her was too handsome to be an aide. He looked like the kind of man that is cast to play the richest man in the city in movies. He had a clean finish and looked more like a rich man than someone's assistant. She was not there for that reason; she was there to talk to Mrs. Smith, and she did not want to get sidetracked by an

Noelle stood up from where she had been sitting all evening. It was almost midnight, and she did not see the need to still be out that long. She knew it was going to be difficult for her to see Ronan tonight, and she had forced herself to come to terms with it. She could go to the mansion to see him first thing the next morning before she met with Celeste. Over time, she became more comfortable with Ronan and his family. The Quinn family accepted her, which made her a bit delusional that she was from a well-to-do family. As much as she tried to ignore the feeling in her heart, she still thought that he would leave her in a heartbeat if he found a better fit for himself.She stopped behind him and poked his shoulders lightly. He looked back at her and smiled. "A moment," he whispered before turning back to the crowd in front of him. He wrapped up with them quickly, and they all understood after seeing her stand there. Their relationship was no longer a secret to the public, and after R

Elara's eyes fluttered open as she began to adjust to reality. She had been so scared about being kidnapped, but she tried her best to act brave all through. She looked around the hospital room as far as her eyes could carry her, and they landed on her mother by her side. She thought that the nightmare would never end, but she was glad that it did. She saw her mom's body rise and fall gently, and she wanted to try not to wake her up.The kidnappers were not as bad as everyone thought, but then she could not trust them, seeing how badly they dragged her there. She had refused any meal they had given her and only relied on water because she was somehow convinced they could not poison the water.As she tried to take the covers off, her mother stirred and sat up, scanning the entire room. "Elara?" she murmured as she stood up and stood beside her bed. "You are awake," she said, hugging her daughter gently.Clara had been so worried that she had gone out three times in the night to ask why

"At least we finally found her. I am so happy about that," Noelle said as she brought a cup of water for Ronan, who was sitting in the living room. It had been a crazy week for all of them, and they had not really had time to be together. Ronan had made his way to the hospital, and after he made sure that Elara was fine, he came straight to see Noelle. "I am glad too," he said, taking the glass from her hand with his fingertips slightly brushing against the back of her hand. She jerked away as if she had been scalded with something burning hot. He shifted the glass from one hand to the other and held her hand before she could sit down."What was that reaction?" he asked with his eyebrows going to the top of his head."What reaction? Nothing," she murmured as she tried to control the swirling of butterflies that had taken over her stomach from the contact. She cleared her throat and tried to avoid his eyes, but he noticed that something was off."Did I do something wrong? Are you mad

Micah had somehow convinced his mom to surrender. He had spoken a great deal, but he was not sure what it was that he said that broke her. He was glad that the madness was over. It was not like he wished to be put in jail for the rest of his life, but maybe this was the universe's way of punishing him for never being content.They sat in front of the police officer; no matter the questions that the man threw their way, they did not seem to budge or say anything. "We have nothing to say," Micah finally said after he saw the sour expression on the man. "We did it, and we were just greedy." He could not let his mom take all the fall for the kidnapping. At least they were the ones who turned themselves in, so it shouldn't be as bad as they think it is.The officer looked up at them and nodded before standing up to leave them there. If they were not saying anything and they had confessed to the crime, then it meant that all they had to do was go to court and get this over with.MEANWHILEZ

Clara, Elliot, and Isla rushed to the hospital to see Elara. After Ezra had made a fuss at the hospital and demanded an emergency checkup, he called her family to inform them about what had happened. He told Elliot that he could not go into details over the phone and it would be better for them if they came over at once so they could see Elara.By the time they got there, Elara was still taking some tests, so they had to wait, and during this time, Ezra took the time to explain the situation to them."I am never ever going to allow those evil people to see the outside world till they die," Elliot announced, extremely angry. Nobody there thought that the right thing to do was to calm this man down; they were all so angry that humans would think of doing something as horrible as this to a fellow human and that they would do it so proudly.Clara kept on sobbing, and when she was asked what the issue was, she assured them that all was well and she was just happy that nothing bad had happe

"What?" The man looked genuinely concerned that he had missed an opportunity to make so much money."Micah and Cora, the woman who paid you, have come in and confessed, so you do not have to worry about trying to take a deal to save yourself." The man looked fidgety as he realised that if Cora had come in to confess, then there was really no escape for him anymore. He should not have pretended to be too tough, but he was sure that if he had taken the money, he would have been hunted down, and the money would have been returned to Ezra."I see?" the man said in a singsong voice. "But you are yet to find the woman, aren't you?" The man asked, as even Cora did not know where they had hidden Elara. She told them to do everything at their own discretion, as she did not want to be tied to something as terrible as that."What do you mean?""Cora paid us alright to kidnap her but she had no idea where she is and even worse, my partner and I have a plan that if one of us does not show up after

Ronan and Ezra got to the station and saw the man who had helped with the kidnapping of Elara. The policemen said that the man had refused to speak and that they caught him when he was out buying supplies. They asked that they be allowed to see the man, as they could maybe find a way to force him to confess. The police officers agreed because they knew that it was useless for them to disagree, as they would still find a way to have their way. Ronan and Ezra made a plan, hoping that they could both stick to it and that way get him to say something incriminating."I respect a man who works hard for his money," Ronan said as they sat down. The gruff and big man looked up. Ronan could see the realisation on his face before he cleared his throat and tried to act like he did not recognise the two men in front of him. "I am Ronan Quinn; it's nice to meet you." Ronan took out a card from his card holder and slid it across the table to him.The man looked down at the card without touching it.

"Mom?""Wait, I am thinking of what we can do to escape this; this is good for us. You've been free, and now we can leave if we can just find a way." Micah stood in a corner as he watched his mom pace around the room with her hand stroking her chin. He did not need her to speak for him to know that her mind was going in every direction possible. He bit his lower lip as he thought of how he would dissuade her and convince her to accept her fate."They don't know that we are connected to those men; maybe if the men do not confess..." she trailed off as she knew the possibility of that was very low. She was sure that the wealthy family would do all they could to coax the truth from them. "This is all your fault," Cora stopped and put her eyes on her son.Mixah shuddered at the thought of what had happened; he did not like it at all. How could she try to blame him for decisions she made without him? He was locked up in jail and did not know anything about what she was planning, so how was
