"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

    "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

    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

    "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

    Carlos took a step forward to defend his daughter but none of this was going to end well if he went in with the same energy that Cora had just displayed so he held himself back, biting his lips hard. "You slapped me on my wedding day?" Zara asked again. "You deserve it, don't you?" Cora asked. The entire crowd around them gasped as everyone began to put one and one together and it began to make sense to them. Zara had deceived her family and the entire nation somehow to get into this marriage. Of course, it makes sense that Cora was angry but then she was reacting by slapping her without hearing the full story."Are you the heiress to the Quinn fortune?" Micah asked. He hoped that it was a terrible dream and that he would wake up and get to his wedding and all would go well. "She is not," Elliot responded. "I have three children and I would know them," he continued. "Ronan, Elara, and Isla," he announced, and Cora shook her head and turned to Micah. "That is impossible, isn't it?"

    "What document? What document is she talking about?" Cora asked, holding her son's hand and shaking him so much. "Mom, can you calm down?" Micah said, holding his head with one hand. He turned to Zara, hoping to scare her with his words even though he was unsure it would work. "I can sue you for fraud." "And with what evidence?" she asked, taking off her shoes and standing there barefooted. "I worked hard to make this a reality. "I mean, how can you take my words and run with them just because I said so? I thought you would catch on to the fact that I was lying to you but you did not," she said and she laughed. "You really thought this through," Isla confessed as she took a step back. "We do not have any evidence against her and I think she would be okay to live with the stigma that this day has caused her" Isla said to her family. Things had not gone how she thought they would but then it was okay because at least Micah knew what he missed out on now and that was okay with her. "

    "Zara is scary," Clara murmured as they walked to their car. "I know, right? She seemed to have thought of everything," Elara murmured. She did not know how she had expected that this would have gone but definitely not like this. Zara was supposed to bend her knees to her and apologise for everything. "I am glad that they ended up together after all," Ronan commented. He was not one to comment on things like this so everyone turned slowly to him. "I just meant that people like them deserve each other. It was obvious that it was their greed that was driving them," he added."Now that this is over and Isla and Elara have been exposed to the public, I do hope that they would be of good conduct because all eyes would be on them," Elliot said. He did not want to put any unnecessary pressure on his children and that was the reason that he shielded them for as long as he could. "Also, Ronan, take care of this mess that Chole has caused," he said and then slid into the car with Clara.Befor

    Elara knew Ezra's voice too well that she did not need a soothsayer to let her know he was the one. "Ezra?" she asked; maybe her ears were playing a prank on her. "Do you have my contact?" he asked and she made a sound of no in the back of her throat. "I do not have it; I just guessed," she lied because how could she tell him that she had memorised the sound of his voice just because she never wanted to forget it? How could she tell him that she got into a relationship with Micah because she did not want to come back to him in case she spoilt any relationship he had?"Oh, okay then." He sounded unconvinced but did not push through with it. "I read what happened today." "Of course you did; it is all over the internet," she said and she laughed as if it were a joke. "I made a debut in the media space and the first thing I do is make a scandal in my name," she added, trying to lighten the situation. He did not refute what she said and so she knew she was right; this was truly a bigger

    Ronan sat across from Chole; he clutched the cup of water tightly so that all of the veins in his hand were bulging. "Why did you call me here?" Chloe asked, looking at her finger uninterested."About what you posted on your socials," he began taking up the cup to sip from it. He was nervous and he was usually a very confident person. "I broke up with you like a normal person before letting the media know about it," she said. "But if you are worried about your image, you do not need to be; your sister's scandal has covered it all." She was a bit angry at how it played out. She hoped that people would talk about how they had broken up but all in all, she wanted to get rid of him. He was her father's choice and up until now, all she had done was her father's choice and nothing more so she was not going to allow him to dictate what she should do again. She was going to get married to Ephiram by all means. "I told you that I do not accept the breakup," he finally said. He knew that beg

    "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
