Elara walked through the door to the house that she had shared with Micah for the past three years. Everywhere in there pushed out some kind of memory for her. She wanted to sit in the darkness of the house and cry out her eyes because when her family had told her that she was making a mistake by trusting a man like Micah, she had told him that they loved each other, and that was all that mattered. Now she understood very well that love was not all that mattered.

She walked to the bedroom that they shared and took down her box; these were the same ones she left her father's mansion with, and now she was leaving with the same one. She had wanted the relationship to work out so badly so she could prove to her family that she was right. Now that the relationship was in shambles, she began to clearly see all of the warning signs.

"I really am a fool for ignoring all of those signs for the longest time," she murmured to herself with a sad smile. She barely had anything to pack from the house because she had believed his lies and depended on him as the sole provider of the house. She was taught otherwise by her dad, but it made her wonder if she was really in need of so much romance that she had to believe that he was always doing the best for her. 

She was standing by the door with everything she was able to identify as hers firmly and neatly stuffed into her box. She had called her brother to pick her up but to send one of the drivers. She did not need to make his name appear on the news to be seen with her. He was already on his path to having a good thing with Chole Prescott, so she was not going to help him ruin it with her own troubles. 

Ronan had told her that she was giving him one of the best gifts ever by deciding to come back home and that their parents would be so happy to see them. She dropped her key on the small coffee table in the middle of the living room and walked out the door. She sat on the front porch of the house as she waited for the driver to pull up and pick her up. 

A car pulled up in front of her, and she wished that she had gone from there before he showed up because now all she could think about was how well she could fight him. All that clouded her mind was the urge to land multiple slaps across his face. He could barely feel any emotional pain since he was not human, but maybe he would be able to feel physical pain if she slapped him. 

"Don't bother with me; I am just waiting on my ride," she murmured when he stopped in front of her. She looked to see if Zara was with him and decided that he must have probably dropped her off. 

"Elara, I want you to know that I did not want this to end up like this." 

"How did you want it to end up? Was your plan to keep me as a backup and see if things went well between you and that?" Elara swallowed the words that came to mind because she was sure that he would not like to hear her call his future wife any of those words. 

"I was going to end things with you beautifully, but..." she cut him off with a cackle, wiped the corner of her eyes, and tilted her head. 

"Beautifully?"

    "Beautifully?" she asked again, the cackle not stopping as she doubled over her hands, patting her knees in laughter. Micah did not like the scene before him; he was not saying anything funny, so she should not be laughing as hard as she was laughing. He had expected to meet her at home on her knees, begging him to take her back. She should be crying and asking him to help her because she had nowhere else to go, but she felt different and out of reach.It was like she was possessed by a confident spirit. "What is so funny?" "You think that a scum like you can ever produce anything beautiful," she said, looking at the car that had parked right before his car. She knew that was her ride, and she did not want to cause a scene. A well-built man who could pass for a bodybuilder came down from the driver's side and jogged to her. The man approaching them made Micah lose his train of thought. "Hello Ms..." Elara waved her hand in the air to stop him from addressing her as a Quinn as much

    "Elara, it really is you!" Isla squealed from the door as soon as the driver opened the car door for Elara, and she stepped down. "You are here." Elara's family had not seen her in three years; even though she constantly saw her parents and brother in the news, she had not seen Isla, who was still being protected. Even though she had not had contact with her family for that long, she made sure to always find a way to talk to them without the meet-up. Elara was grateful to her sister, who was now running to her; if Isla had not reached out to tell her that her boyfriend was going around town partying with another woman, she would not have known that she was being cheated on. "Oh, how I’ve missed you," Isla said, squeezing her sister in a hug. Isla was very expressive with all of her actions, so the hug did not come as a surprise to her at all. "I have missed you as well," Elara replied, squeezing her back. "I do not think I would believe that," Isla said, taking her head back and n

    "What is this?" Elliot asked. Elara walked towards them; she stopped suddenly as if she were trying to inspect them. Her parents were the reason she went so far and wide in search of love. They constantly showed them that it was possible; even though they had been together for almost thirty years, they still acted like young people in their honeymoon phase. "Are you here for real, or is my mind playing tricks on me because I miss you so much?" Clara asked. She turned to her husband, and sure enough, the expression on his face made her know that she was the only one seeing their daughter standing by the door. "She is really here, right?" she asked in a higher pitch than normal. "She is," Elliot nodded. Before he could say anything more, Clara was out of sight, her hands wrapped around her daughter, squeezing her tightly. "Oh my goodness!" she let out in a huff. "It is real," she said with her eyes closed as if she had to shut off one of her senses so she could enjoy the hug to the f

    "Oh my god!" Isla exclaimed as they sat on the bed. She had exclaimed at least ten times since they had arrived, and they had been in there for barely five minutes."If I had a million dollars for each time you exclaimed, guess who would be buying a new car?" Elara said, and her sister laughed. "Still very sarcastic and quirky, huh?" Isla said and Elara laughed.Her heart ached, but she laughed; she was not sure if she was to be laughing at all; she had just gotten cheated on by Micah and left after she thought they were going to have a family together."You know it's okay to cry, right?" Isla said after a brief moment of silence."Cry? What do you mean by cry? Why would I cry?" "Your eyes are heavy like the clouds on a rainy day, and your lips are trembling as if they are ready to make a sound, yet you want to act tough and not cry?" Isla said.Elara could only blame her parents for making her and her siblings so knitted together. Why was her sister walking in her head even though

    THE NEXT DAY"Where have you been? You are always sneaking in and out of the house as you wish these days," Sarah said as her daughter sat by the table. "What do you mean by sneaking?" Zara asked, running her hand through her hair in annoyance. "What time did you get back yesterday?" Sarah asked."Can you get off the girl's back?" Carlos asked as he strolled into the tiny kitchen and sat beside her. "Are you asking me to get off my daughter's back? Whose back should I then get on?" Sarah asked, dropping two plates to their front, both plates making a loud sound as they dropped to the table. "Should I go out to train other children?" she asked, going back to the stovetop to pick up her own plates. "Is this all we have for breakfast?" Carlos asked, looking down at scrambled eggs in front of him. "If you earned a bit more, then maybe we might have a bit more to eat," she said in spite. "What was that?" Carlos asked, his eyebrows going up. "Mom, why are you trying your best to pick

    "Get me on the phone with Ms. Clark," Ezra said as he strolled into the officer. Mary, his assistant, looked up and stumbled to her feet, slamming her knees into the edge of the table. She bent over, holding her knees as she winced in pain. She took a sharp breath, feeling it fill her lungs with air as she tried to stand up. She was not sure if her ears had heard well or if her boss was asking her to get in touch with his fiance for him. "Mr. Thatcher?" she asked, standing up to follow him. "Mary, are you going to get her on the phone or not?" he asked, taking off his coat and sliding into his chair. "If I may, sir, I would love to stay out of the drama this time," she said, moving closer to the table. She still felt scrawled by his former request and how it had ended up. Olivia Marie, who was his wife-to-be, was not pleased with her, and funny how she was the one who took all of the heat. "Are you disobeying me?" Ezra asked, holding to the edge of the table and pulling his chair

    “Come on, Olivia, you can't be like this,” Ezra let out, frustrated. He was wrong, but she might be blowing it out of proportion. “Don't be like that. How else do you want me to be?” she sneered. He cleared his throat and stood up as he began pacing the entire floor. “I am sorry about how it turned out; I am just not ready to...” "Ezra, we are getting married in three months; when are you going to finally be ready to show the world that we are together?” she asked, taking a deep breath. “Olivia…”“It is Olivia-Marie and you would address me as such.” "Olivia-Marie,” he took a deep breath. He had no excuse after standing her up. She had planned this entire engagement party for them so that he could meet her friends and some other people, but he was not interested in doing that yet. “Are you still waiting? Are you still hoping?” she asked, piercing through his thoughts. “Still waiting?” he asked his mind, trying to decipher what she meant. “Are you still waiting for her? The wom

    "I have been curious to know." "Mom, not now," Isla said. They were at the table ready for breakfast, Elliot and Ronan had left beforehand to get to work so they were left with only the ladies and Isla knew her mom was going to ask her sister about what happened that made her return home. Clara was glad to see her daughter, but she wanted to know why she was suddenly home after going without contact for three years. "I know you are curious, and I would tell you, but can I first eat this delicious rice meal?" She looked up at her mom. Clara nodded and wondered if her daughter had been starved of good meals since she left the house. "Have you not been eating well?" she asked, and her daughter smiled at her and shook her head. "Mom, I have been eating very well, so you do not need to worry." Clara made a sound at the back of her throat; it was obvious she was not impressed by the answer that her daughter had given her. "Aren't you going to eat?" Elara asked, looking up at her

    Ronan went to the bar that the bartender was able to give him over the phone. After leaving the office, he called Chole back because he realised that she did not give him an address, and the bartender picked up instead, telling him that she had passed out from drinking. He gave out the address and asked him to come pick her up before she made a scene there. As he drove there, he could not help but wonder why Noelle had not stopped him; he wondered if she was truly not interested in him. He knew that if he had heard her ex was calling her and she had taken off like he did, then he would have tried all he could to stop her by all means. She did not seem moved at all by his decision to go and do whatever it was with Chole.

    It was the first Saturday in a long time that Ronan had made Noelle work. He wanted to spend time with her, and he knew that if he asked her outright, she was going to refuse. She saw the hidden intention behind his cations but could not call him out. She was going to ignore him and whatever he did with hopes of it going away with time. He was going to get bored and begin to focus on other things; soon he would have to get married and have children, and she did not see herself in any of it."We have been working for a while, so I ordered some Chinese takeout, and it will be here soon. Let's take a break to eat it as soon as it comes," Ronan announced. He had made her sit in his office to work, and she agreed because she wanted to prove to both of them that he did not have any effect on her. At this pace, she might have some free days later in the moment as she was able to finish up some tasks before the deadline, leaving her with little or nothing else to do during the month."Okay, s

    “An asshole? Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?” He said, his voice rising in annoyance. “You do not like being called that?” She asked," “Then why on earth do you act like one?” she asked, raising her voice to him. “You were expecting a love story? Is this a book or a movie? You're not a child, and you should grow up,” he replied. “I agree I was a fool for allowing myself to be fooled by you, but you are an asshole for trying to play me. I have invested all I have to try to get married to you. I went to my father because I believed that we shared something great between us, but what did you do? You only saw me as a tool to make your family great. You wanted to be chairman, and I was supposed to be your stepping stone,” she said, tears flowing freely from both eyes. “Did you ever love me?” She asked again. “I just told you that I did; I only approached you because you caught my fancy.” “If I weren't rich, would you have slept with them and then dumped me with no p

    Micah squeezed the phone in his hand angrily; his mind could not help but run with ideas as he wondered who it was that had picked up Elara's phone. He had not been sure up until now if he wanted to pursue Elara like his mom said, but somehow the idea of her being with another man sent anger through his body. He had thought somehow that she would end up alone, and he did not know why he thought that.Elara being out with a man at this time meant that she had moved on easily. He sat behind the desk in the ministudy he had crafted for himself. He needed to get work done from home and had changed one of the rooms to that. He swept everything on the table to the floor, everything in glass crashing to the floor with a loud smashing sound."What was that?" Cora asked as she pushed the door open. She was in the room too quickly, as if she were just around the corner. She looked at her son standing over a heap of files and shatter glass. "Don't move," she screamed when he tried to walk away.

    They finished eating and retired to the car, where they stayed talking and Ezra was constantly trying to sneak kisses as much as he could. When it was already getting late, they both knew they could not be out any longer. For Elara, it would look weird that she spent the entire day out of the house for a solo date. She was shocked that when she was about to leave the house in the morning, her mom did not make a fuss about it and just let her go. She had expected at least a few calls checking up on her, but they never came. She was not sure how she was supposed to feel about the situation."Shall we go?" Ezra asked, and she nodded. They had both tried to avoid leaving, but eventually it came."Should we do this again tomorrow?""What? Sneaking around on a date?" he asked with a smirk on his face, teasing her."Yeah," she responded with a smile, facing him in the car. "Let us sneak around tomorrow again," she said, and he laughed. "What is so funny?""At first you thought it was a bad i

    Elara gets to the parking lot; she settles in her car for a moment before walking over to Ezra's car and getting in. She had warned him not to get down to get the door or anything gentlemanly like that. She kissed his cheek as she settled into the chair."Is that all I get? After waiting a week?" he asked in a grumbling voice."What?" she asked with amused fits of laughter breaking from her."I mean, all week you kept cancelling our dates.""Because I did not want to get caught," she cut him off to explain. She would be sad if he got the wrong idea, and she knew that he knew and was just trying to throw a fit for a kiss."I know but now that you've seen me for the first time all week, shouldn't you be happier and kiss me better?" He asked plainly, causing her to blush. She planned to kiss him later but his asking outrightly made her stomach twist with joy."Ezra!" she gasped as she hit his hand gently. "How can you be so brazen to say such things without thinking too much about it?" s

    It was finally the weekend, and Elara was happy because they could go on their date in peace. Ezra had somehow found a way for them to go together. He told her to drive her to the nearest station, and he would pick her up from there. She did not know if it was a good idea, but he had made her see reason. That way, after the date, he could drop her off at the station, and she could take her car with her and be on her way home."Don't you think you'll be tired after driving a long distance?" Ezra asked her when they spoke on Friday evening. She wanted to tell him that she could easily make the trip to and fro, but she was not even confident in herself, not because she could not drive, but because for her, driving was only a wanted skill and not a needed one. She was more inclined to sit in the passenger's seat and act calm while someone else did all the heavy moving."I had thought of it too," she began, as she could not believe that all it took for him to convince her were a couple of

    "You are here to apologize to me?" Elara repeated her words back to her in a question form. "Why? Is Micah not good to you? Do you want to return him back because he is not exactly what you saw on the outside?" the questions left her mouth faster than her mind could comprehend.She did not intend to be mean and even though she was grateful for her breaking them off she could not help but still feel a little hurt. As at the time it happened she did not know that it was going to be a favour for her so her feelings at that time were valid. "Elara...""Oh does my life that looked so rosy from the outside not look as good as it did anymore? Is Micah unbearable? And his mom? Do you not like her anymore? Just because she does not want you around?" Elara wondered where she was getting all of the words from and how easily she was able to articulate herself to him."I mean most times poeple's life look like a dream when you are looking at it from the outside, once you are in it you get to know
