"On a trip?"

"Yes, on a trip." Elara did not like the sound of her father telling her that she had to go on a business trip the day before, especially since she had plans with Ezra.

"Or do you have any excuse as to why you can't go on this trip?" Elliot asked, "They all knew about Elara and Ezra and were waiting for the right time for them to come clean, and it seemed like they were being extra careful this time; it was kind of difficult to catch them in the act.

"I just began working there; how can you trust me to..."

"I trust you, and moreover, you have to prove yourself to me by doing something like this. You also need to prove to the board and prepare to move on up. Ronan would be assuming the role of the chairman soon, and you need to move up as the vice chairman." He paused and turned to his daughter, Isla, who was picking at her meal.

All of the talk of the company was interesting to her; all she hated was that she could not be a part of the conversation.

"And Isla," Elliot s

    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

    "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

    "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

    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

    "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 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

    "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

    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

    "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
