Isla took out her phone and scrolled through the message between herself and her sister and she gasped at what she saw. "Oh my god, she is the one, that b**ch," she said again. Her parents had heard her the first time and ignored her, but they could not ignore her again."Isla!" Elliot exclaimed, shocked to hear such language from his daughter. "Why would you refer to her like that? Isla, explain to us this instant why you think it is okay to use such language so freely," he added, and she bit the corner of her lips. "Daddy Mommy, I am sorry; it is just that I had to say that woman is the one that..." she trailed off, looking towards Elara. She did not know if the girl wanted to tell them or if she was keeping quiet about it. "Go on, what did she do?" Elliot urged."You both seem fond of her; who is she?" Elara chipped in. "Zara?" Clara asked, and both her daughters nodded their heads. "She is the daughter of Mr. Winter, our gardener." "Our gardener's daughter?" Isla asked, unable

"Oh, my good lord!" Sarah exclaimed as she saw a figure sitting on the couch with the lights off. She went to switch them on. "You acred the crap out of me," she murmured when she noticed it was her daughter. She looked at the wall clock and noticed that it was a few minutes past six am. "What are you doing up so early?" she asked, not even bothering to give her a glance. Her daughter came back late at night and usually slept through the entire day, but seeing her awake by this time must mean that she had probably just gotten in. "Or did you just get in?" she followed up. Zara sat there frozen, just staring at the moving pictures on the television. She had gotten in pretty late that night and sat there thinking about what had happened earlier in the morning. She could not bring herself to think of the consequences of what was going to happen. Even though she had acted all smug with Elara, she still felt fear grip her so badly. "Are you not going to respond to your mother?" Sarah ask

"How am I supposed to face Mr. Quinn tomorrow?" "You would face him like you usually do," Sarah said. "You speak as if this is not a big deal." "It might be a big deal but don't you think you are old enough to face the consequences of the actions you take?" "Actions I take? Consequences? I did not take any actions that would make me lose my job like this." Zara sat there watching her parents go back and forth. She wondered why her father was reacting the way he did. Her mother, who had been against her, was handling the situation better than her father, who had encouraged her. "Dad, don't you think you are being too cruel?" She muttered and he turned to face him. "Once you thought all of this was a good idea. You were happy that you would eventually have to stop working and live a comfortable life; why are you now so afraid of losing your job?""When did I mention all of this to you?" He scoffed as if he had not been edging her to go on. "Dad?" she exclaimed at how he was trying

"Do you care to explain this to me?" "Don't worry, Dad, I have taken care of it," Ezra said. "You have taken care of it and still there is some kind of gossip about it all around?" "It is just some people talking about it and soon it would die down. I have taken it down from the media; everything is going to be okay." Jacob took a deep breath and turned to his son, "Are you going to really marry this girl?" "I thought you didn't care who I married?" Ezra shot back. "Why on earth would I not care? Arent you my son?" "Other fathers in your category set their sons up with other rich ladies but you just left me to myself." "Is that the reason you decided to rebel?" Jacob asked, surprised by his son. Ezra had always been a good kid, and he never had difficulty with him. His name never appeared for bad in the media and this was the first time it did so Jacob did not know how to react. When Olivia-Marie had forcefully come to introduce herself to him, he knew that she was bad news a

"What does she want to say?" Coraasked as she sat down inside her son's living room. Micah had called her and told her that Zara called them both to tell them something important. "Mom, if I knew what it was, then I would not be sitting here with you; let us just wait for her and I am sure she would be here soon." The words left his mouth and were followed by the bell. "See, she is here, and now we can know the reason why she called us." He stood up and walked to the door. Her smile greeted him and he pulled her into a hug. He placed a kiss on her head and she pulled away. Micah studied her face and tried to know who was more beautiful between Elara and Zara. Zara always seemed to be in a lot of makeup but Elara was still able to pull off a natural look at all times. "How are you?" he asked as she created distance between them. "I could never be better; our wedding is in three days and I have good news," she beamed. "Good news?" Micah asked as he wondered what kind of wedding gif

"I am pregnant." Cara looked from Micah to Zara and then jumped up, squealing. "This is good news, fantastic news. Oh my goodness," she held Zara's hand and pulled her up as she hugged her with all of the might she had; having a baby was the best thing to happen to her. Micah sat there stunned; of all he had expected to hear, he did not think that this was what she would say but then something inside of him clicked as he sat there. If Zara was the daughter of the Quinn family and she was getting married before her brother and also having a child before him, then their child was going to be the first grandchild of the Quinn family, meaning that they could be producing an heir. "Micah, aren't you happy?" Cora's voice lured him back into reality. "I am so happy that I do not know how to react," he muttered, still seated in place with disbelief in his mind His mind was spinning as he thought about it. Was this possible? They had been so careful about everything they had done so how wa

Zara looked up at the ceiling with the covers on her body; she turned to him and put her hand over his chest as she traced her name on it. "Why don't you get my name tattooed right here?" she asked in a teasing tone."If I could, I would have gotten it tattooed everywhere," he replied in a serious tone."I think that would turn me on," she said with a wink. She bent down and kissed his face multiple times. "I have to go now," she said and he groaned sadly. "I know right, it is so sad that I have to leave like this every time," she said, standing up, allowing the covers to flow to her waist, leaving her upper part exposed. "I mean, if you wanted to go, then you should have gone without trying to tempt me again," he said, holding her waist and using his tongue to draw up her body. "Coem on Micah, in a few days we would be together forever," she said, holding his head and pulling it away. "But for now, I have to still act like a good child to my parents; otherwise, I might be kicked o

"Sir, I have something important from the PR department to report." Elliot looked up and motioned to his assistant Jack to get on with the reporting. "I just heard from the PR department that a lot of media bodies and journalists are calling to confirm the wedding of your daughter to one Mr. Micah Swanson.""Oh really?" Elliot's head came up again in amazement. "Can you give me a moment?" he asked and Jack stepped out, leaving him alone. He took up his phone and called his wife. Could this be her doing? Was she so desperate to humiliate the girl because she stole from her daughter? Clara had commented on how she did not like the way he reacted to their daughter's grief but he thought that all was well since she was okay. It could have been worse and she escaped a man who only gravitated towards material things. She would want a man who loved her and she was not going to get that in Mr. Swanson. "Clara" "Elliot," the relationship between them was now just a few words. Clara was conv

Ezra stood in place for a long time; he could not believe this had happened to him again. Strangely, that night was nothing like that day eight years ago but it felt the same. The air as she walked away from him and for what reasons? For reasons he thought he could control.Things would still be going smoothly with them if Olivia-Marie did not show up that night. Maybe he would have gotten her to accept her feelings for him, the one he believed she had hidden and neatly tucked away somewhere. He was finally able to pick himself up and go to the room. It was only when he had changed out of his clothes and said on the bed did he realize he had not put away all of the ingredients he had bought to use.The grief in his heart seemed too much for his body to handle so he was not sure if he would have been able to make it successfully downstairs. He tossed and turned all night, unable to find a moment to slip into sleep. He did not know how or when but his heart began to ache as he thought

Ezra managed to get Olivia-Marie to leave and Elara did not know what he did to do so. She seemed so adamant at first that she thought this was over."I am sorry about..." He stopped abruptly when she turned suddenly in the direction of his voice. He has sent her in and then got Olivia-Marie to leave before he joined her in.She pressed her lips and pushed them to one side of her face. "You want to say something about this and I feel like I would not like it," he said as he saw her expression.He knew it all took well; it was one he was oddly familiar with. "You know me all too well, even after all this time." "Well, you haven't changed a bit; you only grew." She did not know if it was supposed to be a compliment but she pushed that aside."Your silence is killing," he uttered after a while. He has kept quiet, hoping that she would spill whatever was bothering her. He knew this would be about Olivia-Marie."Do you think we are doing the right thing?" She asked, taking a deep breath.

Before Elara could process what was happening, Olivia-Marie held her by the neck and was strangling her while shaking her back and forth. Ezra rushed to them, but no matter how much he tried, he could not seem to pull them away from each other. Elara could somewhat understand the grief that Olivia-Marie was going through, so she allowed the girl to do whatever she wanted to do with her. "You did this; this is all your fault," Olivia-Marie kept chanting as she shook her. After a long while of shaking, her grip finally lessened, and she fell to the ground with her legs beneath her as she wept heavily. "Why did you come back and ruin my life? Why did you think all of this was okay? My life would not be the way it is if you had just..." She muttered as she trailed off. Elara could not help but see the truth in her words. After all, Ezra has only wavered after she mysteriously showed up all those years. Would things have been different if she did not return like this or if she had retu

"So where are we going?" Elara asked as soon as Ezra got back into the car. She did not want them to settle into any uncomfortable silence between them. She liked the gesture of him showing up at her office and taking her out, but she did not know if they should be doing things like that. Their image was still actively being painted black by his ex-fiancee; the only reason it was not so much of a big deal was because both families seemed to be blocking all of the news before it got out. "Let me first off offer my congratulations to you," he replied, glancing at her and then back at the path he was taking. "I was going to tell you, but I could not find the right time," she confessed as if she had done something wrong. She did not know why, but it felt that way to her. "I am not mad," he said, knowing that was what she was trying to imply. "I was going to bring it up the other night, but I just did not find the right time to do so." "You have to believe me when I say I am not angry

By the time the day was over, Elara felt a bit better than she felt when she had gotten into the building. After her father introduced her to the board of directors, she met with the heads of departments and the team members that were on her team. Her father's words kept on ringing in her head as she walked to the car. Her assistant was on her tail, as she had been all day. Elara had noticed her nervousness all day, but she was not about to be able to calm someone down when she was facing the exact same thing as her. She stopped by the elevator and turned to her. "Are you going to follow me home?" "Huh?!" Abigail was confused by her question. She was trained to act that way; she moved when her boss moved, and it was also the same for movies and books."I asked if you are going to follow me home; I mean, the day is over and it is time to clock out so why are you still following me around?" "I was trained to..." she trailed off when Elara suddenly turned to the elevator door that ope

"Finally a familiar face." Elara did not like the chaos she had been thrown into all of a sudden but seeing Noelle, with whom she was a bit familiar, made her relax a bit."Hello, Ms. Quinn," Noelle said with a smile as she approached her table."Oh, please just call me Elara; I doubt I am any older than you.""Three years""What?""I meant to say that you are three years older than I am," Noelle said and Elara could have sworn that she heard a whistle. She could not believe that she was drawing the line so clearly between them."I would have thought that with your maturity we would be age mates," Elara said, shaking her head. She knew that Noelle was a good assistant and did her job well; she did not just know that she was that official, even to her.Noelle liked the gesture; it would be good for her to call her by her first name and act as if they were close friends but even with that, she did not want to feel too comfortable with them all. After the encounter with Ronan taking her

Clara let them go because she did not want her daughter to be looked down on for showing up late on her first day at the office. Elara felt nervousness overtake her as they drove down the road and out of the entrance gate. As they merged with the freeway, her father turned to her. Feeling his gaze on her, she faced him, and the man before her was completely different from the man her mother had scolded a few moments ago."I know that you have always been a good girl and I don't need to reiterate this to you multiple times but I do hope you are on your best behaviour at work.""You don't have to worry about that, dad; I have no intentions of drawing any attention to myself.""You do not need to draw attention; it is already on you," he said, then looked away. "A lot of people will gossip about you and how you've taken up this role through nepotism and connection; you should IGNOTE them when you hear it. It was the same for Ronan," he explained.Elara would have never believed that her

MONDAY MORNING"Elara will be joining me at the office starting today" was the only thing Elliot said on his way out. Clara had asked her daughter countless times why she was dressed so nicely but the latter did not know what she was supposed to say in response."Wait what?!" Clara said as they both walked out. "Isla?" she turned to her daughter and then to her son, who was still seated by the table. "Ronan, did you know anything about this?" she asked and he shook his head. "So Elliot made the decision on his own and just decided to update us about it?" she asked with a frown. She took off the napkin from her lap and followed them out."Things are not going to end well," Isla said, shaking her head as she popped a piece of grape into her mouth."Did you know about this?" Ronan asked and she nodded. "Why didn't you say anything?""Who would I have told? I did not think Dad would have kept it a secret from Mom, and you weren't around all weekend. " She narrowed her eyes at him, which m

Elara got into her room and got ready for bed. As she lay down, the events of the day ran through her mind; she could not believe that it had ended up like this. She finally began to drift to full sleep and instead of fighting it, she allowed herself to be drawn in by the sleep.MEANWHILE AT SWANSON'S RESIDENCE."Micah?" Cora entered her son's room to see her on the bed. She hated how relaxed her husband was regarding the situation. Zara had trapped him by the law and now by the baby that Zara was growing inside of her."Mom, this is not your room; you must have entered the wrong room by mistake," he whispered, his hand over his eyes and the other one firmly tucked under the blanket over his body."How can you be thinking of sleeping at this time? Do you even think you deserve to have shut eyes?" Cora asked harshly as she took off the blanket from his body."Am I not allowed to sleep again?""Why would you want to sleep after you have made us enter this kind of error?""I made us get
