Noelle got into her room and lay on the bed, still in her dress. She could not help how giddy she felt; the butterflies in her stomach had been on a rampage since they had kissed earlier in the evening."Never say never," she said as if she were trying to give someone a motivational speech. She had been so sure that no matter what Ronan said, she was not going to give in. All it took was for her to see she was about to lose him to Chloe. She knew that if Chloe won, she would not even be around him to admire from afar. She knew that she would have kept her composure till the end of the day if they hadn't kissed, but she could not help but feel thankful that she had done something she would never have done, and this was the result. After fantasising about their relationship, she stood up and changed into something else so she could retire to bed.She wanted to call Celeste and tell her what happened, but after glancing at the clock and seeing it was almost two am, she decided against it

By the time Elara was done getting ready and she stepped out of the house, she was shocked to see that none of her family members had woken up already. They must still be tired from the event of last night. She knew that if she did not have a prior arrangement with Ezra, she would have still been tucked in bed sleeping. She let out a tired yawn as she walked to her car.She drove silently, allowing the sound of the car humming to fill her thoughts; finally, she was at the parking lot where she was supposed to meet Ezra. After waiting a few minutes, she sees his car pull up and then she goes to join him. As she gets into the car, he pulls her face and kisses her."Hi there," she smiled as she murmured into his lips."Hi," he replied, pressing his forehead into hers. "Should we just go back to my place?" he asked, and she shook her head."And risk having your father find out?""He would be asleep the entire day; the party was a bit stressful for everyone, and I think we can just go into

"I have been calling you all morning; where the hell did you keep your cellphone?" Celeste screamed over the phone. Noelle had been asleep; when she woke up earlier, she had a little headache from being drunk last night, so she took some water and an aspirin before heading back to bed. She wanted to rest since there was nothing else for her to do."I was asleep; last night was a little bit rough," she explained, her voice coming out strained. She cleared her throat and sat up in her chair."Rough? I thought you went to a party. What made it rough?”"I got drunk," Noelle said with a yawn."You got drunk and embarrassed yourself at a rich people's party?" Celeste asked, feeling bad for her friend. She could only imagine how embarrassed she was feeling."Well, I would not really call it an embarrassment; I'll just say your wishes have finally come through, so be happy.""My wishes? What did I wish?” Cleste's voice carried excitement, but it seemed like she wanted to hear it from Noelle b

Chloe sat at the dinner table with her father, who was silently flipping through the newspaper. She wanted to tell him of what had happened between Ronan and his assistant yesterday, but she did not know how to bring it up. She knew that Ronan was a man of his word and if he was now dating his assistant, that meant that there was nothing she could say to him that would make him change his mind. If she was going to marry him in the end, she had to play mind tricks to get him to her side.She cleared her throat and tapped gently on the table. They were already done with their meals, but Chloe could not leave, as this was her only opportunity to speak with her father. If he heard it from any other place, he would be furious if he got to know that she knew and had not informed him about it beforehand."Dad, can I talk with you?" She murmured, "He looked up from the paper briefly and then looked down again, reading through it silently. She waited for him to be done, and after a few seconds

"Come into my room," Roland commanded after dinner. Ephraim pointed to himself, and his father nodded before standing up and walking away with a word. Ephraim sat on the table and waited for everyone to leave before he left. When his father had sent a message that he was supposed to be at the house for dinner that Sunday night, he knew that he wanted to talk about Chole, and even though he had shown up hours earlier, Roland had spoken about every other thing aside from what he had called his son for.Roland had waited till the end of dinner before asking his son to come in, and Ephriam knew that it meant serious business. Ephraim walked to the kitchen and requested the tea his father usually drank after each meal, and then he walked to the study to find his father.He stood by the door, balancing the tray in one hand and placing a knock on the door. "Come in," Roland's gruff voice came through. Ephraim cleared his throat and walked in."I brought tea," he declared. Roland looked up fr

Is the possible heir to the Quinn corporation in a relationship with his assistant?Noelle had expected the news to come out, but not so soon. She knew she was immune to the taunts and looks she was going to get from everyone, but it came too early. She barely even had enough time to marinate in the new relationship. As she walked across the lobby to the elevator, she could hear the way everyone tried to whisper, although she was convinced that they were pretending to whisper because they wanted her to hear what they were saying about her. She cleared her throat and pressed her lips together. She was trying her best to act as if she wasn't affected by all the noise, but it was not working; her heart ached at just the thought of it.She wondered how all humans acted the same; without even hearing if the media had made a mistake, they were already judging, and it was so annoying how everyone judged only her; was it because he was the man or because he was rich? However, how could she be

Noelle was not blaming Ronan because she knew this was Chloe's doing, but now that the board was involved, she was afraid. "What are you going to do now?" Her own problems suddenly felt so tiny in contrast to his.It was no news that some directors thought they were a better fit for the next chairman than Ronan and were looking for every opportunity to bring him down, and they were going to say his actions were tainting the company and try to use this to stop him from climbing to his rightful position."You do not have to worry about me; I just wanted you to know that everything on my schedule for the day has to be put on hold; I have to sort this out first before I can resume back to work," he explained."I understand," she nodded and watched him get out of his seat."I want you to do something for me," he said, taking careful steps towards her."What is that?" she asked, her eyes growing wide with excitement. She hoped he was not going to tell her to sit this one out and allow him t

Ronan stopped by his father's office and walked in; he could not help the glances of everyone that was on him as he walked to the office; he let himself in after a knock."You are here?" Elliot said, looking up from his desk. His assistant took the file he handed to him and bowed before leaving the room. "Come in," Elliot said as the man walked out of the office."What is this about?""I need to know what your full plan is," Elliot responded, shocked that his son was asking why he had called him in."The full plan is to put everyone in their place. I know that Chole and her father did this, and I am going to have a long conversation with both of them," Ronan replied as he realised he had not told Alfie he wanted to speak to him. He took out his phone and sent a text message to Alfie."Well, the board is raging, so I am sure you can do that after the meeting but I plan to announce you as my successor and also to let them know that you would be taking over in two weeks.""Two weeks?

"Ezra, what on earth is going on? Why did I just get a ransom call? I thought you were on a date with Elara; now I am hearing that if I want her alive, I must do as they ask," Elliot said over the phone.Ezra stopped in his tracks as he allowed silence that was loud enough to deafen to fill his soul. His worst fears had been confirmed. He was on his way to see the CCTV footage when Elliot's call came in. He did not want to deliver bad news but he knew that it would be unwise for him to keep them in the dark about the situation. Hearing that there was a ransom call-out, then it was sure that she had been kidnapped."What happened?" Elliot's voice broke him out of the trance he seemed to be in."We were watching a movie and she said that she had to use the restroom. It seemed weird that she had been gone a long time so I went to check on her but she was nowhere to be found and I was on my way to check the footage from tonight in the control room when you called," Ezra explained."Who co

"You look beautiful as always," Ezra said as they sat in the car. He had picked her up after work, and they were going on a date. Since both parents knew about the situation between them, they decided to date as freely as they could. Just as Elara had predicted, Jacob had asked them when they intended to get married and proceeded to show Ezra the pictures of the mansion he was going to gift them as a wedding gift. Relanda had been so joyful that she said that she was going to start the wedding preparations as soon as she could and that all they had to do was tell her their preferences, and she wouldn't fail to get the best for everything they wanted. They had found a way around it and assured them both that they would do it by the right time. Jacob had not been too impressed by their answers, but he had no choice but to let them be."You always say that," Elara said with a smile. She tilted her head and laughed. "But I like it," she added with a shy smile as she tried to avoid his eye

Micah hated that he had to spend time sitting in the prison cell without anyone attending to him. It was like the Quinn family had totally forgotten about him at this point. Anytime he asked the officer, they all responded as if they were uninterested in his case. He did not know if it made sense for them to do this to him in any sense."You have a visitor." One of the policemen tapped on the metal bar of his cell. He looked up and pointed to himself, and the man's expression was all the answer he needed."Who is it?" he asked as he stood up from the hard concrete floor and walked to the gate of the cell where the officer was waiting."You'll see" was all the man said, opening the door and letting him out. He held his hand in case he had the crazy thought of running away and led him to a room where he would meet his visitor. As if on cue, as his door opened to let him in, the one on the right opened as well, and his mother came in. His mother, too, had somewhat abandoned him, as she h

Zara received a notice from the court that since both parties signed the divorce papers without any issues, it would all be resolved without them having to go back and forth to the courthouse. She had mixed feelings about the entire situation. While all she tried to do was marry Micah because she fell for him, she knew that her methods were wrong but still hated how easily he signed. What did she expect, though? His mother must have convinced him to sign.The knock on her door dragged her back to reality. She gently looked up at the door, knowing it was probably her mom on the other side. Since she signed the papers and moved back to her mom's house, she had been stressing about every little thing. She had told her that her constant moping and crying around was not going to do the baby good. She sat staring at the door until another knock jolted her back."Zara, are you in there? Are you awake?" Sarah's voice came through. Zara sat up straight and cleared her throat. She looked down a

"I am only wondering how you and Isla met," Elliot said as they sat down to drink. Clara had instructed the staff to bring out a bottle of wine for them to share. It had been quiet with each person sipping on their wine before Elliot broke it off. Marcus had been expecting the question so he was not surprised."We met during the party last time; she needed help with something and now that I think about it, she never told me what it was that she needed help with." Marcus trailed off as he looked at Isla, maybe wanting an explanation. Her response was a quick shrug as he sipped from the wine in hand."Oh, I see but I wonder what took her so long to introduce you to us," Clara chimed in. "I don't mean this. in the wrong way so don't take my words too wrongly but Isla can barely sit in one place for things like this," she said.Isla choked out as she began to realise that this was a wrong idea; she should not have invited him over, as her parents might do all they could to try and embarra

They all sat down to dinner; Isla seemed tense as her guest was yet to arrive. Elara was able to put two and two together to know who was coming. After the party, she and Isla spoke, and she could not deter her sister after she had confessed to falling for him. The truth was that it was possible to fall for someone at first sight, but she knew her sister was wise enough to make sure that she knew him well enough before they committed. When she had not heard an update as regards the matter, she had asked Isla, but the response did not seem encouraging, so she let it go; after all, Isla did not seem like she wanted to talk about it either."The guest is here," a staff member announced and Marcus came from behind the young girl. She bowed her head and walked off. Marcus stepped forward and Isla stood up. She searched her family's face to see the confusion written all over it; it was as if they were asking her what was going on."Come sit," Isla gestured to the open space opposite her and

"Elliot," Clara said as she rushed into the room they shared. "Elliot!" she screamed, entering the closet and stopping when he was nowhere to be found. He had just gotten home from work, and she received the news from a staff member. She had been waiting on him since she got information from Isla that she was having a guest. She was out in the garden, relaxing, trying to relax because her mind kept spinning as she thought of who her daughter could be bringing home. She had to admit that having three grown children and trying to keep in tune with them was quite taxing."Elliot," she said with a frown as she approached the bathroom; the door opened before she could reach for the handle, and Elliot stood between her and the door so she could neither see inside nor go in. "What are you doing here?" she asked, and he shook his head."Nothing? Then why...?" She trailed off as she realised he was intentionally trying to block her view. She frowned and tugged on his hand. "Why are you blockin

Isla did not think she would have to wait about a month after the party to hear back from Marcus. She did not want to reach out first; all she knew was he was the one who thought she was worth talking to first. She hated that her mind kept on going to him all day, but he was nowhere to be found. She leapt to pay attention to every news surrounding Old Mrs. Smith, and in each picture or video, she tried to see if he was in them, and he appeared missing. Sometimes she was angry that he had come to shake things up when she was dealing so perfectly with herself, and other times she was worried that something might have happened to him and no one was aware. Mrs. Smith had not announced him as her successor yet or even as her child, so if anything happened to him, no one would probably know."Why am I spending my day thinking about a man who did not care enough to reach out to me?" She asked herself with annoyance as she lay on the bed. She let out a deep breath and looked around before lan

TEN DAYS LATERChole is out for dinner with her friends. They dragged her out after hearing what had happened very recently to her and how sad everything turned out to be in the end. They kept on blaming her for losing Ronan after he had chosen her over the crowd of people around. Chole knew it was her fault, but she did not need a herd of people to tell her what she already knew. However, even though their accusations against her were a bit too much, she found the space to be relieving. She at least had people surrounding her. Her mood also improved slightly, especially when they spoke about other things.She had spent almost two weeks coupled up in her room; she only thought about how she was too proud to go back to Ephriam and how her father would try to disown her if she did and how Ronan had completely disregarded him. Her father's plan to humiliate him and Noelle had completely failed without a second thought. After a few days of gossip, everything was restored, and everyone was
