Elara did not know what she was doing but she was doing it. She knew that Ezra had a fiancée whom he was with, and she also knew that he was getting married to him but she kept convincing herself that it was just lunch. It was not as if she was sneaking around with him. They used to date but those feelings, especially on her own side, had been tucked away for a long time. When she got a call from Ezra asking for lunch, she thought it would be too cruel to keep turning him down. After all, one lunch did not hurt anybody. She had bought a bunch of clothes with nowhere to wear them to so this was a great opportunity for her after all. "Thank you for meeting me for lunch," Ezra said as they sat down. Elara looked around; it was quite strange to see a restaurant so quiet during lunch hour. "This place is awfully quiet," Elara murmured. "I guess so," he said with a shrug. "Shall we order first?" "Yeah." She took the menu before he could hand it to her and scrolled through it; she could

"Olivia-Marie!" Ezra stood up angrily at her. She did not need to mention that, especially with her friends behind her. They all gasped and looked at Elara. Elara cleared her throat and shifted uncomfortably. She knew what Olivia-Marie meant. Saying something like that was so similar to calling her a man snatcher or a cheater and even if it was true, who wants to be called that?" "What? Are you defending her?" She asked, putting a hand on her waist. "Is she your mistress?" she continued. "Olivia-Marie, you are going too far." Ezra held her hand and pressed down her elbow, ready to drag her out with him. He could barely have a moment with Elara. "Am I?" she asked, taking her stand. She was putting her foot down, and there was no way she would allow him to pull her away. She had to humiliate Elara; after all, she knew that he was a taken man. Why was she still lurking around him like a dog around a bone?"Olivia...""Are you trying to destroy my relationship just because you do not

"How dare you speak to me like that?" Olivia-Marie was beyond angry. She thought that Elara must be some dumb girl to have her heart broken and then get humiliated like that. She did not expect her to have a sharp mouth. Ezra's grip on her hand loosened, and she turned to him. He did not care that everyone was watching him as he shamelessly smiled at Elara. It was as if he was proud that she could take care of herself. That in itself pissed her off. She had never seen him smile like that after dating him for so long but Elara muttered a couple of nonsense, and he was already grinning from ear to ear. "I only spoke to you in the same way you spoke to me," Elara said, taking a step out of the frame table to be able to stand in front of her. "What? Is it so difficult to pack up what you dish out?" she continued. "This is my man!" Olivia-Marie continued as she screamed."And who said otherwise?" Elara asked and Ezra's smile faltered. "Who said I was claiming him?" she continued. "Then

"Elara?" She kept walking even though she heard Ezra calling her. Her driver and car were parked in the basement of the restaurant yet she was walking away from it. She just did not want to face him, especially after what she had said there. "I did not mean it, of course, I did not" she said trying her best to convince herself. There was no way she meant what she said. She closed her eyed for a brief moment her legs still going forward as if she knew exactly where she was headed. She shook her head and by the time her eyes flew open, she felt a grip on her hand. She jolted, she knew who it was but she did not turn to face him. Still holding her hand Ezra came to stand in front of her. It was obvious that he had run after her but still, his breathing was steady as if he had just woken up, if she had been the one she would barely be able to stand up straight again. She looked at her and she tried to take a step back but was stopped by his grip on her hand. "Where are you going?" he

Elara took a deep breath and opened her mouth. "I only said that because she kept coming at me. I wanted to walk off triumphantly and that was the only thing that came to mind." "So you are saying you did not mean it?" She nodded before he was done with the question. "I definitely did not mean it," she said and then pressed her lips together again. "Ezra, I don't know what all of this is but I do not want to be caught in all of this mess." "Can you please hear me out?" he asked as she turned to leave. She stopped and waited. She could tell that Olivia-Marie and her friends would be in there plotting how to get back at her. They would be fuming at the fact that he had followed her out. "What is it?" she asked because something within her told her that she might regret it if she walked off without hearing what it was that he had to say. "Can you make it quick?" she added as if she were not going home to lie on the bed all day after this. "First of all, I never considered the relati

"He broke up with you? Because of her?" Winter asked with a frown on her face. Before Ezra stormed out of the restaurant after Elara, he had turned to Olivia and warned her sternly. "We are no longer together so if you pull a stunt like this, I would be forced to do something you would definitely not like," he said and he walked away. Her friends stood there with a gasp and shocked expressions on their faces. Somehow with Ezra's words, she was able to prove to them all that she was indeed in a relationship with him earlier and that none of what she had done was false. "Elara suddenly showed up and he wants nothing to do with me. She had been his first love and now that she is back he wants to go back to her" she murmured. No matter how any of this went, she had to portray herself as the victim. Elara was the bad b**ch who had come to steal her man."So what you are trying to s..." Yara began but was cut off by Aria. "Let us get this straight: he proposed to you and then broke off t

"This is exactly what I hate about people like you. Just because you feel smart, you think you can give advice like this?" Winter scoffed. Somehow they all knew that every word she said was the truth but they could never accept it. How could they accept it?"What is it that I have said that is wrong?" Ella asked. It makes no sense for a man to just abandon all he had worked for. If he was truly in love with you and wanted to really secure a future with you, then trust me, he would not break it all off just because his first love from some years ago showed up." Ella was glad that her train of thought was not interrupted as she spoke. "I mean...I'm just saying.""If you want to sit there and talk all smartly, then you shouldn't be here. No matter what you think. Olivia-Marie is our friend and we should be helping her out and not generating ideas in our heads. If you know you aren't interested in helping out, then I suggest you keep those opinions to yourself and let us be." Aria's voice

"That girl annoys me so much," Winter said, taking deep breaths as they watched Ella walk out of the restaurant.Somehow Janelle wished she could follow her but she did not have the kind of backbone that Ella had. She knew this was a risky plan and understood very well what Ella was trying to say. All of it truly was fishy but she was their lackey and she couldn't have a voice of her own. All she needed to do was do what they wanted and her life was set in stone."We need to humiliate her" was the next thing Janelle heard when her consciousness found its way back to her. Winter had declared it as if she was going to war and all the girls on the table nodded in agreement."I do agree with that but how? How are we going to do that?" They all seemed concerned about how to hurt her. They sat in complete silence, and just then the waitress approached them."Hello, I would like to take your order," she said in a sheepish voice. Janelle looked up and immediately recognised the girl. She used

"What?" The man looked genuinely concerned that he had missed an opportunity to make so much money."Micah and Cora, the woman who paid you, have come in and confessed, so you do not have to worry about trying to take a deal to save yourself." The man looked fidgety as he realised that if Cora had come in to confess, then there was really no escape for him anymore. He should not have pretended to be too tough, but he was sure that if he had taken the money, he would have been hunted down, and the money would have been returned to Ezra."I see?" the man said in a singsong voice. "But you are yet to find the woman, aren't you?" The man asked, as even Cora did not know where they had hidden Elara. She told them to do everything at their own discretion, as she did not want to be tied to something as terrible as that."What do you mean?""Cora paid us alright to kidnap her but she had no idea where she is and even worse, my partner and I have a plan that if one of us does not show up after

Ronan and Ezra got to the station and saw the man who had helped with the kidnapping of Elara. The policemen said that the man had refused to speak and that they caught him when he was out buying supplies. They asked that they be allowed to see the man, as they could maybe find a way to force him to confess. The police officers agreed because they knew that it was useless for them to disagree, as they would still find a way to have their way. Ronan and Ezra made a plan, hoping that they could both stick to it and that way get him to say something incriminating."I respect a man who works hard for his money," Ronan said as they sat down. The gruff and big man looked up. Ronan could see the realisation on his face before he cleared his throat and tried to act like he did not recognise the two men in front of him. "I am Ronan Quinn; it's nice to meet you." Ronan took out a card from his card holder and slid it across the table to him.The man looked down at the card without touching it.

"Mom?""Wait, I am thinking of what we can do to escape this; this is good for us. You've been free, and now we can leave if we can just find a way." Micah stood in a corner as he watched his mom pace around the room with her hand stroking her chin. He did not need her to speak for him to know that her mind was going in every direction possible. He bit his lower lip as he thought of how he would dissuade her and convince her to accept her fate."They don't know that we are connected to those men; maybe if the men do not confess..." she trailed off as she knew the possibility of that was very low. She was sure that the wealthy family would do all they could to coax the truth from them. "This is all your fault," Cora stopped and put her eyes on her son.Mixah shuddered at the thought of what had happened; he did not like it at all. How could she try to blame him for decisions she made without him? He was locked up in jail and did not know anything about what she was planning, so how was

Cora knew there was no escape for her now; all she could do was hold onto Elara and act as if she knew nothing. There was no way she could escape, and her entire plan seemed ruined."To what do we owe the pleasure of your coming here?" Cora asked; she was trying her best to act mature, but Ronan and Ezra already saw through the facade."We are here to pick up Elara Quinn; just tell us where she is and we won't make a scene and will be on our way without a word," Ronan said gently. He seemed more composed than Ezra, who was shaking with anger. All Ezra thought of doing was beating up the owner, but he knew that it was wrong to do so, and that would make them find Elara quickly; in fact, it might even make it worse for them."You are making a dangerous claim right now," Micah said, standing up, and you, more than anyone, should know that it is wrong to frame someone for something they have not done."Have not done? You know fully well that your mother is the one behind the kidnapping of

Micah sat in shock after hearing all that the lawyer explained to him; he stared at the man hoping that he would begin to laugh at how gullible he was and that none of that had happened. When the lawyer did not look like he was about to laugh, he hoped that he would be rudely shaken from this dream he seemed to be having and every tug in his life would be back to the time before he lost Elara."Why on earth would you allow her to do that?" Micah asked, picking at each word gently. He wanted to scream and pull out the hair of his lawyer, but he knew that was not going to make anything better; it might even make it worse if he did not take care."She is the only one who can sign off for you, and all the documents had your legal signature and stamp." Micah could understand how she got the stamp, but how could she get the signature? It made no sense except that she forged it. Why did she forge his signature? What was she trying to get by forging it to sell off all they had? Has she done th

"Mr. Micah Swanson, you are free to go," the officer said, unlocking the cell door and opening the gate. Micah stood up from the floor where he had been and walked to the gate. It made no sense because just yesterday Ezra had threatened to make sure he spent the rest of his life behind bars since Elara was still missing and Micah did not say a word about it."To go where?" Micah asked with a frown."To go home""Am I free to go home?""Do you need me to get an interpreter for you?" the officer asked angrily. He hated that Ezra and Ronan had walked in there and asked them to let Micah go without allowing them to do their jobs, but there was no way they could say no to them. It was more of an order than a request, and since both families were involved, the officer would rather keep his job than go head-to-head with them."I just won't understand why you would let me go without an explanation," Micah said, still staying inside the cell. He felt some kind of chill fill his entire body; he

"Ezra Are you sure this would work?" Clara asked with tears in her eyes. It had been four days since Elara had gone missing and the media had gotten a whiff of it. No one knew how this happened because they had been careful enough but there was a link to sow who might have leaked it to the media and none of them cared who leaked the information; all they cared about at that moment was finding Elara and making sure she was alive."Ezra, Daddy has enough to pay the ransom and bring her back home," Isla added. Unfortunately, for every six hours that they spent waiting, the ransom kept on going up, and now they were up to one hundred sixty million. The kidnappers had threatened to beat her up in the next six hours, and Ezra had come up with a plan. The viability of the plan was not certain, but they wanted to do anything to make sure that Elara came back to them alive."I have the money and I would pay; I wouldn't ask you for a dime. We know that Cora and Micah are behind this, even thoug

"She is being a bit difficult. What do you want me to do?" one of the men said over the phone before aggressively pushing out a whiff of smoke from his mouth. The other man took the cigarette from his hand and blew on it before returning it to him."Make the ransom call, but make sure that they are not able to trace it to me," Cora said silently over the phone. Remember that you would be the one to take the fall for anything that happens." Cora wanted them to know she had no part in the situation, even though she was the mastermind behind it."We understand.""One hundred million and my son.""What about our payment?" the man asked. This was the most dangerous job that they had ever taken, but they took it because of the risk involved. If they can coax the money from the Quinn family, then they would get to walk away with thirty million without sweating, as they have always done in the past."I told you that after we get the ransom, then you get your payment," Cora said angrily. She d

Micah did not want to believe that his mother would go so low to do something like this. It made no sense because everyone who had a working brain could trace it back to her without any issues. "Can I request a call?" He asked the officer as he dragged him back to the cell he had been."You can't" the man's voice was firm and Micah could tell that bargaining was going to be hard. "Please you have to help me or else I might end up suffering something I never did" Ezra said trying to stop him from dragging but the man was obviously stronger than him. "Please, don't I have the right to a phone call at least" he added in an almost crying tone. He knew it was possible that the Quinn family had cut off his communication line but then considering how things were going he would not blame them if they did. "I can't offer that to you at this time, maybe try later" the man said and pushed him into the cell without a word before walking away his ears deaf to the continuous plea from the man be
