"You would not believe what happened to me today," Elara said, bursting into her sister's room. There was no way she could keep it to herself. Even if she was not going to say anything about the conversation she had with Ezra outside that left her heart pounding for the entire ride home, she still had to let her sister know about what Olivia-Marie had done while giving her even more reasons why she should not be with Ezra no matter what is being said.

Isla looked at her with amusement. It must be something for Elara to burst into the room without acting curtly and respectfully. "Oh well, this has to be good," Isla said, standing from her table, where she had been designing some clothes and coming to sit on the bed. "Did you go out?" Isla asked, seeing how well-dressed she was.

Isla was her sister but yet she looked at Elara's body and how all the curves she needed to have were in the right place. She remembered being in the shadow of Elara while they were in high school and how everyo

    Ezra walked into his office; Mary stood up as soon as she saw him walk in. The expression on his face was not something she was familiar with so she knew it was going to take her a while to know how to react."Welcome, Mr. Thatcher," she said, taking up her tablet, ready to follow him. He only told her that he was going out for a quick lunch but had spent a longer time out. The meeting he had with the team leads for the design team had run late and she needed him to get on with it immediately."Don't come in," he said in a lingering voice. She stopped at the edge of the table and watched his back as he entered the office and shut the door. She walked up to it and turned the knob but realised that he had locked it from inside. She could open it if she wanted but she knew he would be into it like that."Mr. Thatcher?" she said, pounding on the door with her fist. "This is important, very important," she added when Ezra did not bother to say anything with her knocking."I do not want to

    Elara swallowed the lump in her throat just because she could not take it anymore; it felt like someone had taken time out of their busy day to tie up her throat, and it felt itchy. She cleared her throat and straightened her back as she walked through the restaurant.She looked to one table in the corner; her boyfriend Micah's back was to her, and she took a deep breath, clutching tightly to the handle of her purse. As she approached the table, she wished that this was different.When she first caught on that he was cheating, she did not believe it one bit because there was no way that her boyfriend, who swore to love her even though he was too closed off to show it to her, was showing another girl with flowers and chocolates and dinner dates; she could believe that the same man she had been with all these years was cheating on her.But when her sister called to tell her that she was getting out and that everyone knew that he was getting married to Zara, she knew that she did not sta

    "You are the heiress?" Elara asked, letting out a long laugh. She was angry to meet her boyfriend with a woman, but it amused her that this woman was pretending to be the woman she hid from Micah all these years. She did not want anyone going after her for her family money and influence but for who she was. "But I hear that no one knows what she looks like, so how can we be sure that you are the one?" Elara followed with continuous laughter. She was sure that her siblings would have a field day with this information if they got to hear it. Her father had been the expert at keeping his children away from the public and had only introduced her brother Ronan when he was twenty years old to the media because he said he had to learn the ropes of the business. Since Elara stayed hidden from the press, it was easier for her to live a life of freedom. "Are you saying that I am lying?" Zara asked, shifting on her feet uncomfortably. "Of course not; how can I call you an impersonator?" She

    "Regret this? Regret marrying to the Quinn family?" Micah scoffed like she had just told a lie. "I don't think so," he said with a smirk on his face."Oh, boo, don't listen to her; she must be crazy," Zara chimed in."Crazy? You are calling me crazy? I am the crazy one here?" She said, looking around, hoping that the people around her would help her judge the matter."Both of you are shamelessly out here cheating on me, and you think I am the crazy one? In what world are you the sane ones?" She did not even know she had those kinds of words brewing on the insides of her."If you know he is cheating on you, as you said, why don't you let him be?" Zara asked, air-quoting the word cheating. "Moreover, if you were never in a relationship, why would it be cheating?""Did he say that?" Elara asked, quietly dropping the plate in her hand to the table and cleaning off the soup residue that had stuck to her hand on the napkin. "Did he tell you that we were not in a relationship?""Well, he did

    Elara held her cheek as the words she had been saying were now lost in her throat; she could not believe that she had been slapped across the face by Micah's mistress. The two of them stood there, Zara's chest rising and falling in annoyance as she balled her hands into a fist by her side. "Imposter? Who are you calling an imposter?" She screamed at her. The entire restaurant was now fully focused on them. The couples who were there on dates would probably think that the show before it was more enticing than their date. "I guess you must really be an imposter," Elara replied. She had always been a confident girl, but meeting Micah had done something to her and made her believe that for her to be accepted, she needed to be sevirle and submissive to everyone, and everything around her meant that she had forgotten the training that her father had given her. "Do not call me that," Zara said through gritted teeth. "Why should I?" What else am I going to call you? You are here claiming

    "I finally got rid of her, and I did not have to do much work," Micah said as they walked to his car. They had to leave the restaurant immediately because of the embarrassment that came with the scene that Elara had created for them. Immediately she stormed out as if she had won; he paid the check and left with Zara in his hand. "Since you have been able to ditch the b*tch, how about we go ahead and have the wedding as planned?" Zara suggested, poking his chest roughly. "Of course, we are going to have the wedding next week," he announced. "Now just remember, since my parents do not want me to be exposed to the public, they would not be attending the wedding, and they would not be sponsoring it either, so you have to do all of that by yourself, and also I cannot access my trust fund until I get married and have a baby," Zara said. "Oh my darling, what do you take me for? I definitely remember all that you said, and I am going to keep it to them all. As long as Mr. Quinn has agreed

    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 h

    "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

    "Don't you think that is a mean thing to say?" Aria asked. Winter looked down at Janelle and knew she had gone too far; wherever she was, fired up in situations like that, she was one to go too far. It was nothing new to them but still, Janelle's feelings were hurt. One thing with Winter was that no matter how much she knew she was wrong, she never admitted it and never apologised for it.She squeezed her lips together and sat down. Janelle still had her head down. No matter how weird their relationship was, she still feared being kicked so she could not even express her displeasure. It was true after all; she had been a waitress before and it was not a fact she hid from them so she took it in good faith."What is taking them so long?" Winter murmured. The girl had barely been gone for about five minutes yet Winter was eager to get into battle with the girl. The reason they stayed back in the restaurant together was now tossed aside because none of them dared challenge Winter. She wan

    "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

    "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

    "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

    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

    "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

    "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
