Ezra walked into the house; he looked towards the hallway that led to the kitchen and dining area. The lights were switched on, which meant that his father was still having dinner all by himself. Ever since his mother died, Jacob made having dinner such a chore and sometimes Ezra did not want to be a part of it. He knew that he had told his father to stay out of his love life and then come to him for advice some time later but now he was sure that if his father did not help him, then he was going to be in trouble.He did not want to marry Olivia-Marie and maybe if she heard that his father was setting him up with someone, she would back down a bit. He laughed at the thoughts in his mind, knowing that might fuel her passion even more if she knew that his father had thoughts like that. Whenever they met each other, Jacon and Olivia-Marie had clashes that it was quite impossible to imagine that they would become a family through Ezra.He walked to the dining room, and as he stepped his f

Ronan tried Mr. Prescott's name once again. Alfie seemed to be trying his best to ignore his calls. "Pick up Mr. Prescott," Ronan murmured. The traffic had been so bad that by the time they got there, the site had closed and no inspection could be done. Noelle suggested calling the site manager and asking them to get out there but he told her not to bother; after all, if he had done his job as and when due, they wouldn't have had any reason to come out that late in the evening.However, they had to sleep over, inspect the site by morning and then leave, meaning he could not go to see Alfie and now the man was ignoring his calls. They were all businessmen so they kept their phones close to them, maybe even closer than any other thing they owned.Ronan tried a couple of times and even he had lost count of how many times before the man picked up. Ronan was greeted by a grunt on the other side of the line. "Why are you calling me so much this late at night?"It was indeed late at night bu

Noelle raised her head; she had come down to the bar to get a drink and finish up organising Ronan's schedule for the month. She liked to carry out her task ahead as it stopped situations like today; she knew that this was going to have a ripple effect on their entire workload. She was grateful that it was already the weekend, and that meant they could rest, reset, and reconvene again by the new week.However, as she saw the stunned figure of Ronan walk into the bar as well, she was not sure how easy it would be to get him back on track. She sighed as she sat there sipping from the glass she had taken from the counter earlier. He sat by the counter and kept on ordering drinks. From the way his back moved, she could tell that he was chugging down something strong. He had sat for ten minutes and chugged down at least three shots. If he kept up the pace, he would be drunk in no time.No one at the counter now seemed to care about him but as soon as he began to show any sign of drunken ha

Of all the words that could have come out of Ronan's mouth to her, that was the least she expected. She gasped and tried to stand up but his grip was still tight. "Aren't you drunk?" she asked because it made no sense for a drunk man to be that strong and hold onto her that strongly."I am not sure," he said, yawning. Her face was filled with his breath and she could tell that he had vodka and he still wanted to drink. "Just have a drink with me, please," he pleaded. This was nothing like him so she sighed. She was sure that he would not be able to last a few more drinks and would be drunk at the end; then she could put him to bed and be out of there.Her only fear was that he would be severely hungover in the morning; she would have to get him a change of clothes and probably something for herself as well since they would both be reeking of alcohol. She could not believe how much of a workaholic she had become. A man as attractive as Ronan was holding her in close range while asking

Noelle felt her body itch; she ran her hand all through her body and shook awake. For a moment she did not know where she was because it did not make sense to her at all. Her eyes fluttered open and suddenly she jumped to sit as the memories from yesterday flooded her mind immediately.She sat up and looked around; she had a blanket covering her shoulders down. She looked around the room; this was definitely not the room she had booked last night. She had spent the night in the same room with her boss. She stood up and folded the blanket before putting it on the bed. She had to leave as quickly as she could before he would come back to meet her still in there.She did not bother to look back at anything; instead, she walked to the door with her shoes in her hand. The door opened before her hand could reach for the doorknob. Standing right in front of her was Ronan with a coffee tray and a paper bag."Mr. Quinn," the word came out of her mouth with a surprise."Ms. Richards," he said,

Jacob has asked his assistant Roger to set up a meeting with Elliot. Even knowing that the man did not accept visitors or business meetings on the weekend, Jacon still expected a positive result from his assistant, who got it done. Elliot welcomed Jacob into his home and even straight to his study on a Saturday morning, which was strange to everyone around."Dad is having a visitor?" Isla asked her mother as the three of them sat down around a table. They had seen Elliot lead Jacob away as soon as he arrived. Clara did not have the chance to offer him anything to eat or drink."I guess there must be something important to discuss with Jacob," Clara replied. She too was not aware of the reason that Jacob was there. She wanted to know but she was not going to barge into the meeting room and demand to be a part of it; she was sure that her husband would tell her after they were done speaking."Seeing that you reached out to me on a weekend, I am guessing it might be something important,"

"Thank you for the offer but...""You have to stay." Elliot cut him off before he could create an imaginary excuse. Both Elliot and Clara could tell that he needed the company and they were willing to at least help him that afternoon."Well, if you insist," he said and two of them laughed."Okay then, I am setting the table so both of you should come down in a few seconds," she said and walked away."Are you sure I am not being an inconvenience?" Jacob asked as soon as Clar was out of hearing shot."Not at all; we like having meals with people." Elliot was trying to make it sound less of a big deal."Then I guess I have to take up your offer."Soon they left the room after agreeing to make them meet once and the children would decide for themselves. Elliot made it clear that he was not going to matchmake or force his daughter into any marriage and this was the furthest he was willing to go on this matter. They all sat down and after saying the grace led by Elliot, they began to eat.E

Elara stood by the other side of the door; the words of both Clara and Isla seemed to be ingrained in her mind. As she took a step, she kept praying that her father had not been given an irresistible deal. She hoped that her mother was right and Isla was wrong; the only thing that made her hesitate was that Isla was barely wrong about things like this. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door."Come in." Elliot's voice was loud but audible enough.She took a deep breath again as if to gather all the courage and then held the doorknob, turning and then pushing it open. "Come in and sit." Elliot was sitting on the sofa and he was asking her to sit in front of him."What is this about, Dad?" she asked, trying to make her voice sound light."Have you seen Ezra since you came back?" Elliot asked straight. He figured that there was no reason to beat around the bush."I have seen him about three times," Elara replied. "Is this about his fiancée? Does Jacob not want me to see him becaus

Elara could not believe her eyes; she wondered why Olivia-Marie would come here to see her. "Are you going to tell them to move?" she asked. Elara was sure that there was something very different about the woman standing in front of her. She was not the same one who had bawled out her eyes at the gate the other day."Let her through," Elara said, taking her step forward. Both bodyguards shifted to the side for her to go through. "What are you doing here?" she asked and Olivia-Marie smiled."I am here to see you," she said and when the expression on Elara's face did not show her that she was welcome, she decided to explain. "Why do we talk? I am sure we have a lot to say."Elara turned to her assistant and gave orders. "Clear my schedule for the afternoon." She did not know why she did that but it seemed as if Olivia-Marie had something important to tell her."Okay, ma'am," she replied."I will go alone from here," she said. The bodyguards bowed to her before leaving without a fight; h

Olivia-Marie stood out of the gate; the man who had let her in had gotten an earful from Ezra and she stood there watching. She watched Ezra get into the back seat of the Range Rover; she began to think of when she thought he was the one for her and why she thought it. The driver drove past her and she tried to peer into the car but Ezra had his face buried in a book.She had promised herself that she had to have him for herself; he was everything that a woman would want in a man and even more, he was well-mannered and even rich. His beauty was nothing to joke about.She knew that if she kept pushing, she would be the laughing stock at the end but if she ended it now, then she would still be a laughing stock. Her friends were going to make endless fun of her life. She spent eight years clinging to a man she knew was going to leave her in a heartbeat; she knew that if his first love ever showed up, then this was the end. However, she did not want to accept it was the end so she held on

"What are you doing here?" Ezra asked again but his tone did not sound friendly. Olivia-Marie had been happy that she could get a reaction out of him even though it seemed like it was a negative one. He seemed more human to her now than ever. However, now that anger lines were visible on his face, she was not so sure she liked any reaction from him. She was sure he was gentle with Elara, smiling at her and just being a gentleman."Why do you keep screaming at me? You keep making me feel bad," she muttered and he almost laughed in her face."What are you doing here? If you have no reason to be here, then I suggest you leave; I have no time to stand around and discuss with you," he replied, ignoring what she was feeling anyway."Ezra, you know you are a jerk," she asked and he stared straight ahead, blinking multiple times. "A big fate jerk," she muttered, feeling tears well in her eyes. She didn't know why she was there but she wanted to come here."If that is what you have come here t

Olivia-Marie stood outside Ezra's gate. Since the other day, when she had found herself there drunk, she had not gotten the courage to go back. All she could remember was all the wailing and how Ezra had sent her home. Not in her life did she think he would be so cruel to her. She was ready to do anything to make sure that Ezra stayed with her, even if it was to manipulate her."Can I help you, miss?" Olivia-Marie snapped out of her thoughts and turned to the unfamiliar face of the security guard. 'He must be new,' she thought to herself. If he was new, then he would have no issue letting her in if she played her cards right."I am here to see Ezra," she said, flashing a smile at him. She could not remember the last time she had smiled intentionally."Mr. Thatcher?" the man asked and she nodded. "Mr. Thatcher is not in," he lied. She knew it was a lie because she had called Mary to ask of him and she had told him that he was not yet at work, meaning he was home. Ezra was a simpleton w

When Noelle opened her mouth, she was convinced that she was speaking, but her ears were not picking up any sound. She could not believe that his few words had gotten her riled up that much. Maybe she was annoyed that he said that to her because she had thought of it. She had thought of inviting Ronan into the house and doing unimaginable things to him. How could she, though? He was her boss.She watched his eyes grow bigger and bigger in anger and his mouth drew into a thin line. His mouth opened and she braced herself to finally hear something other than the ringing in her ears. She braced herself."WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" She had expected him to scream and he did not fail her. After all, she had slapped him across the face. Felix would have disagreed with anyone who would have told him that his daughter would slap him across the face.His words and the intensity of his scream drew the attention of passersby. "Calm down," she whispered, unable to bring

Noelle had successfully avoided Felix all week and she owed it to how much Ronan gave her. Not to mention he dropped her off at home every day because he was worried and no matter how much she said not to, he was not listening to her. He stopped coming in with a driver and would drive across town just to drop her off before heading home himself.She had stayed in all Saturday but she had to get to the store to pick up a few groceries and necessities for herself and the house. She was afraid that Felix was lurking somewhere outside and that she would not be able to avoid him. She did not know what he wanted but she was sure that it was money.After a few hours of mental preparation and encouragement, she decided that she had to go. She felt a strange feeling, as if she had to call Ronan to continue to be her bodyguard, as he had been doing. As she walked down the street, she could feel him following her, but she tried not to look back. The streets were barely filled with people; she kn

Elara rolled over in bed. It was evening, and her sister had come in a few minutes ago to call her for dinner, but Elara said she was going to get fruits instead. Her phone vibrated, and she took it off the nightstand. She had tried her best all day to stay away from her phone in case Ezra tried to reach out. Occasionally, she had checked the phone, and even though she had asked him to stay away, she could not believe he listened so well. She had asked herself countless times how much her words might have hurt him She was the one who spoke harshly, yet her heart was heavy."Should I bring up the fruits?" Isla asked. Her mother had told her not to ask any questions, so she decided to listen. Since it was quite strange for her to lay in bed all day. She knew that Elara would tell her what was wrong as soon as she came around."I have to move at least," Elara replied, and her sister understood what she meant by that. She was going to walk downstairs later by herself to get the fruits.It

"Micah? Are you going to let your mom speak to me like that?" Zara called as she followed him out. Micah rolled his eyes; he thought he was going to get a moment of peace away from them but it seemed like both women were determined to frustrate the life out of him."What do you want me to do?" Micah asked, stopping and turning to her. She stopped a few meters from him and crossed her hand over her chest."Are you asking me that? If I were Elara, would you let your mom speak to me that way?""Why on earth would you bring her up?" Each time Micah heard her name, he remembered how foolish he was. If he was patient enough, he would have been as rich as he wanted to be. He believed that Elara was head over heels in love with him and she would have taken him along to meet her parents when he went."Why wouldn't I bring her up? Wasn't it somebody like her you wanted to marry? Your mother is trying her best to constantly shame me for marrying up when that was your intention the entire time. I

"Micah," Cora called as they sat on the table eating breakfast. Zara thought that confirming she was pregnant would make her mother-in-law treat her better but Cora did not care about the child; she had repeatedly told her to her face that she did not care about the baby she was growing and that if she could, she would try her best to get her out of the house in a heartbeat."Mom, it's too early in the morning to start. Today is the only day where I can take a break and I don't think you are allowed to ruin that for me.""Ruin it for you?" Cora scoffed. She hated that her son made her sound like a devil that was on a mission to kill. She opened her mouth to counter whatever it was that her son thought when Zara strolled into the kitchen.She looked from Micah to Cora as she walked to the refrigerator. "Cora, I have told you time and time again that I hate the smell of fish; it is not good for the baby," she said as she squeezed up her nose."And I have told you that the doctors told m
