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 as

    "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

    "Ms Richards?" Ronan said it in a low voice but loud enough for Noelle to hear. She tried to match her step with his and walked by his side. He had always told her to walk behind him at all times but she was barely able to keep up because he walked fast, always as if he were in a hurry to go somewhere. She was to stay behind him and then walk towards him when he beckoned on her. She tried her best to make sure they were walking in sync but it was too hard for her. Luckily, he slowed down almost as if he had heard her silent plea. He suddenly stopped and turned to her. The two bodyguards following them stopped making sure to give enough distance for them to speak privately but still close enough for them to jump into action. "Are you walking as I suggested?" he asked and she gulped the knot in her throat. "Are you?" he asked when she left him with silence."No, sir," she said, ashamed of herself. When he first gave her this job earlier in the year, he had told her that he walked fas

    "See?" Sarah nudged her husband's side. Since Carlos knew that Elliot and Clara knew about his daughter, he had avoided them at work like a plague, but now that he was standing across from them, he knew that there was no way he would be able to avoid them any longer."What then do you want me to do?" he asked, his voice coming out as a croak as he tried to ignore the sight. He cleared his throat and wanted to look away."Are you going to try and act as if you do not see what is going on?" Sarah asked, nudging his side with her elbow, hoping to send a warning pain through him. "Do you want me to walk up there and announce that she is my child? Maybe if we wait it out a bit, then nothing might happen." "So you think they would let the media go around with a false knowledge of who their daughter is?" Sarah asked. She knew that talking with him was a waste of time so she held his hand and pulled him with her towards them. He tried to escape but the grip on his hand was stronger than he

    Elara turned to Micah with a smile on her face. She was not supposed to be smiling or even standing there at his wedding. "Why were you sitting beside the Quinn family?" his voice was laced with unmistakable bitterness. She ignored his question because she knew he would call her a liar if she told him the truth, she had to show him by herself. "You were wedding and since we were together for a long time I decided to come with my family and offer my congratulations" "Your family?" Micah realized that during their time together she never saw his family or heard anything about them. "Yes my family, come I will introduce you," she said turning and walking over to where her family stood. Micah was curious. If they had broken up why would she come to his wedding and be smiling so broadly, also why would her family take time out of their busy day to attend his wedding? As he watched her go, he could not deny that there was something different with her, as if she had a sudden glow-up with

    "We can't do that!" Zara said in a loud tone as if she were asked to do something illegal. Now her legs were shaking in fear."Why not?" If they are here already, then he might as well walk you down the..." "Let us just leave it be the way it is," she said in a tone that was asking him not to argue with her. He pressed his lips down and nodded."After the wedding, we are going to have to talk about this," he said and she agreed. They were going to have a lot to talk about after the wedding but she was not going to let herself be worried; when they got to the bridge, they were going to cross it. He turned and left, meeting the staff at the door; she claimed to have given them privacy when in fact she stood there and listened to their entire discussion. She pulled the same smile she had been carrying when she saw him come out. "Are you ready to go in now?" she asked and he nodded. He wanted to ask her why she eavesdropped but he just dropped it since there was no big deal in it. "Oka

    "Are you feeling nervous?" Zara asked her husband-to-be, who sat beside her; his legs were shaking vigorously. It seemed like she needed to ask him that. "Of course not," he said, shaking his head. They were in the waiting room waiting to be called in. They were going to march in separately since her father was not there to march her in; she felt a bit sad that she was depriving Carlos of the opportunity to walk her down the aisle but if she was going to give him a better life by marrying this way, then it was best for her to do so."Tell that to your legs and your face. You look like you are constipated," she said and then laughed at him. The situation was supposed to be reversed after all; she was the one who was deceiving him into getting married; she should be afraid to go out there in case she was embarrassed. The door opened and standing there was a staff member; she had a smile on her face; she was there to call Micah. Sir, you can come out now while we prepare to come out to

    "What are you saying?" Elliot looked up. If he was being honest, he was glad that his son was free from her grip, but it was still sad to see both his children heartbroken at almost the same time. He bit his lips and held his head down."She came back and told me that she fell in love with a man she met out there while she was volunteering and that she cheated on me with him and she does not love me..." "As if we did not already know that," Isla murmured. "Isla!" Clara said, trying to caution her daughter. It was true but now was not the right time to say anything like that. Ronan truly loved her and it must be hurting him deeply. "It is not as if I am saying anything that is a lie," Isla mumbled, dropping her phone to the table and raising her head to her brother. "I know that you feel like shit now but..." "Enough!" Elliot said, stopping her before she could get to the end of that statement. "Okay if you say so," she said, raising her hand in the air as if it were their loss fo

    "What took you so long to get down here?" Clara asked as Ronan finally decided to join them down for breakfast. "I guess we can start now." Elliot had stopped from beginning breakfast until Ronan joined them downstairs. Clara had been a little bit angry at his actions; she sent three different house staff to go check on him and even went by herself yet it took him a while to get down. She was a bit worried but it was all laced with anger. Ronan was not one to delay them like that in the morning; in fact, he was the one who always waited on them the other morning, and Eliiot made them hold their hands and say grace before they started eating. Ronan cleared his throat; he knew that Chole was going to be fast to let the media know about what had happened and even though he felt like his mind was spinning out of control, he had to tell his family about it before they heard from somewhere else. "I want to say something," he suddenly said, causing everyone to pause as if someone was cont

    Ronan finally was able to gather all of his courage and walk out of the restaurant after sitting at his table for a while. While sitting there, he had gone through all the emotions that felt negative that he could feel. He had first of all thought that this was a prank and that she was going to come bursting out the door any moment later and then point out the cameras and laugh in his face. He would feel a little bit hurt but he would understand why she had to do it even if she said it was for fun. When it was obvious that it was not a prank, he felt his throat feel tighter than ever; he held his hand by his side and shook his head. How was he supposed to continue his evening after hearing such a piece of news like this?He began to feel a kind of sadness as he began to think of what he might have done that could cause her to want to break up with him so easily like that. He bit down on his lips, hoping to feel some kind of pain. Maybe if he was able to make his lips bleed, the pain

    "I want to break up." The words rang in his ears continually and he could not shake it off. He shook his head, hoping that his body was playing a prank on him and making him imagine all of this. "What?" His voice came out croaked. He looked around and the restaurant was packed. Maybe this was a prank and she was doing this just to see his reaction. He touched the ring box in his pocket; he planned to give it to her today and demand that they get married as soon as they could. "I said we have to break up," she said again, not shaking; it was almost as if she had planned this before now. "That is not possible. how can we break up? We are set to get married," he said, shaking his head. "See, I even got a ring for you," he said, his hands shaking as he reached out to his pocket. He took out the box and she read the name across the box. Timeless vows.Any woman would want to be proposed to with a ring from them. She looked up at him slowly. "Why are you bringing out a ring when I am tel

    Ronan was a bit too excited; he had not seen Chole since she left the country about a year ago. At first, they spoke over the phone constantly but then after a while, the communication reduced so much that he did not know what to do. He tried his best to continue reaching out and sometimes all her responses were one word. He was fine with all of that as long as he was able to know that she was doing fine. He wondered why she reached out to his assistant and not him but he was glad to know that she was doing okay. He stopped over at a flower shop and picked up flowers. She had made the reservations so he did not need to worry about anything regarding what they were going to eat. He got to the restaurant early and sat to wait for her. Since she was back from the compulsory trip she took, they could finally get married. He remembered how it all happened a year ago; she had been caught red-handed and high on drugs in a club during a police raid. Somehow images and videos got out and so
