"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

    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

    "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

    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

    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

    "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

    "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

    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

    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
