There's No Turning Back Chapter 44
After seven years, Elara once again sat in Corona's driver's seat. It felt as if countless dormant cells in her body were suddenly reawakened, pulsing with energy in sync with the engine's roar.Her hands trembled slightly as she gripped the wheel, and she could hear the rapid pounding of her own heart. For the first time in a long while, she felt truly alive.Seated in the passenger seat, Theodore relished the raw power of acceleration.Today, the Corona was different—it had been reborn in Elara's hands."Go ahead, speed all you want. I'll cover the tickets."Elara suppressed the thrill surging inside her. "No need. If I get caught speeding, it's my license that'll take the hit."Corona tore through the highway, its roar drawing the attention of pedestrians."What just flew past?""Was that a swallow? It zipped by in a flash!""In this season? No way! I think I just saw a ghost!"People on the sidewalks murmured among themselves.On the road ahead, a group of wealthy young

At the entrance of the classroom, a dozen bodyguards surrounded Finnegan. Standing at the foot of the steps, Harvey exuded an imposing aura, looking at Finnegan as if he were nothing more than an insignificant ant beneath his feet."Bambi, come here. You're coming home with me," Harvey commanded sternly. He had already lost patience when Bambi hesitated and moved toward Finnegan instead.Bambi shook her head at Harvey. "I want to go home with Uncle Finn."Harvey let out a cold, dismissive laugh. "And where exactly is he taking you? Does he even have a home? Bambi, if you go with him, you'll be sleeping on the streets!""Mommy!" Bambi's voice rang out as Elara appeared.Bambi waved excitedly upon seeing her mother, but with Harvey's bodyguards blocking the way, she couldn't run to her."Mommy!"Elara's heart ached with guilt. "Mommy got delayed. I'm so sorry, Bambi. I promise this will never happen again."Bambi, ever understanding, reassured her, "I know, Mommy! You had somethi

"Theodore!" Elara gasped in alarm.Still nestled in Theodore's arms, Bambi hadn't yet grasped what had happened.Theodore looked down at her with concern. "Are you hurt, Bambi?"She blinked her large, dark eyes and shook her head. Only when she got up did she finally see the metal arrow lodged in Theodore's back.Her pupils trembled, and she drew in a sharp breath. Looking up, she spotted Beau in the distance, instinctively hiding the crossbow behind his back.She recognized that arrow—Niamh had given it to him!Harvey hadn't expected Beau to do something like this either. His expression turned ice-cold, not just because his son had hurt someone, but because of who Theodore had instinctively protected.His hands clenched into fists as he bellowed, "Beau Fisher, get over here!"Beau flinched, visibly shaken. "I just wanted to help you, Daddy! Bambi wouldn't listen!"Bambi's shoulders stiffened. The Beau in front of her now felt like a complete stranger. Harvey snatched the cros

Theodore sighed dramatically. "By the time an ambulance arrives, I'll have bled out. Mr. Fisher, are you trying to get rid of me?"His condition was serious, and Elara had no patience to argue with Niamh any longer."Get off! Stop wasting time and running your mouth!""If you get into an accident…"Before Niamh could finish, an invisible pressure seemed to envelop her. When she met Elara's gaze, a chill ran down her spine, and she nearly lost her balance despite sitting firmly on the bike.She had never felt such an intimidating, almost chilling presence from Elara before. A sense of unease crept into Niamh's heart."Elara, I'm warning you—don't act recklessly.""You're the one dragging this out, Niamh! That's not like you."Niamh pouted. If Elara wanted to throw her life away, so be it. She wouldn't stop her. She even hoped she'd crash face-first and break her nose and teeth!Reluctantly, Niamh dismounted the bike.Elara then extended her hand. "Give me the keys."Niamh tos

Beau was so frightened by Harvey's overwhelming presence that his eyes filled with tears.Niamh quickly comforted him. "Beau, you and Bambi are siblings. She'll definitely forgive you!"She glanced at Harvey, and said in a light and teasing tone, "I always thought Theodore looked approachable, but his personality is even colder than yours."Who would've thought he'd risk his life to save someone? That's rare."Drawing out the last syllable, she then added, "By the way, I noticed Elara getting out of Theodore's car earlier. Since when did those two become so close?"Hey! Harvey, wait for me!"Niamh saw Harvey turn and walk away without even acknowledging her words. She quickly chased after him.…At the hospital, Theodore was placed on the operating table.Lying on his stomach, he smirked at the lead surgeon. "You can charge me double for the surgery—I'll make the Fishers cover the bill."The surgeon, who was an old acquaintance, sliced open Theodore's shirt with a scalpel whi

Bambi stood frozen, her young heart reeling from the shock.Had she done something wrong?If she had obediently gone back to the Fisher family with her father, Theodore wouldn't have been hurt.But the one who had shot an arrow at her was her own brother, someone she had once been so close to. Over time, as their physical differences grew, Beau's attitude toward her had worsened.And she had realized that, within the Fisher family, aside from her mother treating them equally, even her father favored Beau more."Beau! Even if you apologize, I will never forgive you!" Bambi shouted.She turned to Harvey. "Daddy, can I stop being your daughter? What do I have to do to never go back to the Fisher family again?"She longed to break free, but she didn't know how. Harvey's face turned as cold as if it had been sealed under layers of frost."Bambi! Your last name is Fisher! You will always be my daughter! You are a part of the Fisher family!""Then… Then can I change my last name?" Ba

"Theodore, you—" Niamh was stunned as she exclaimed in disbelief.Her eyes darted around before she smirked. "Are you interested in my sister as a person, or are you more interested in her as Harvey's wife?"Elara and Harvey are still in the process of divorcing—do you think this is the perfect time to enjoy the thrill of an affair without facing too much criticism?"She wore an expression that suggested she had seen right through Theodore.At that moment, the entire hospital room felt like a walk-in freezer. The oppressive aura radiating from Harvey was so intense that even Beau's legs trembled.Theodore's sharp, fox-like eyes turned cold. "Did you crawl out of a history museum? You could conjure up more stories than a medieval tapestry."Niamh stammered, "I—""Funny how some people blurt out their own thoughts as if they're exposing someone else's."Niamh's face stiffened, and she retorted weakly, "You're obviously talking about yourself!""You'd know best, wouldn't you?"

"I didn't expect Mr. Snapp to be someone who enjoys picking at other men's leftovers."To Harvey, she was nothing more than a meal that had already been eaten—tasteless, yet too much of a waste to throw away.Elara spoke plainly to Theodore, "I don't think the best way to get back at a man is by marrying another one—just to prove some kind of sexual appeal."It's as if I need to show the world that even at 27, I can still attract a man. My worth shouldn't be measured by whether or not a man wants me."She smiled. "If you want to truly get back at someone who's hurt you—whether they're a man or a woman—the best way is to make them watch you rise."She would no longer live in the shadows, tucked away in a mansion, playing the silent role of the woman behind a man. She would stand as his equal.No—she would rise above him. She would reach a place so high that even Harvey Fisher couldn't touch her.Elara snapped out of her thoughts and found Theodore staring at her, his gaze burning

Paisley stood at the center of the stage and bowed, thanking the audience. Meanwhile, the auditorium erupted in thunderous applause. Several parents who knew Rosalie turned to praise her."Ms. Fisher, you've done such a wonderful job raising her.""Paisley's dancing was beautiful. With her on stage, the whole performance became so pleasing to watch."Parents from the same class chimed in as well. "Rosalie made the right call by having Merida step down from the rehearsals. If Merida had performed, it definitely wouldn't have turned out this well.""Exactly. Rosalie really has great foresight."As they spoke, their glances drifted—intentionally or not—toward Elara.In the microcosm of the school community, parents were sorted by social circles. Even if they acknowledged Elara's competence, to them, she still had no real backing.And without that, she might as well have had nothing. In the world of elite parents at one of Capitol's top schools, Elara stood on shaky ground. Those ho

Rosalie let out a disdainful snort. "Does someone like Elara even deserve to step into the Fisher family's circle?"Her voice turned icy and shrill. "She's only dragging me down!"Luxury brands existed precisely to distinguish those who could afford them from those who couldn't. If commoners could easily buy Louis Vuitton or Hermès, how would the wealthy flaunt their status?Ever since Elara married into the Fisher family, Rosalie felt her own standing had been diminished. Now that Elara had been kicked out, Rosalie wouldn't give her another chance to mingle with high society.Harold lowered his voice. "Put in a good word for me with the Fisher family. Help me become Xavier's tutor."Though Beau had resumed his elite homeschooling, Xavier still attended the same classes—and far outperformed him. Harold had a strong premonition that the Fisher family would focus on cultivating Xavier.Though not Leonard's biological son, Xavier was his sole heir since Leonard had no children of hi

Rosalie took her seat beside Harold and immediately noticed him repeatedly glancing in Elara's direction."What are you looking at?" Her voice turned dangerous.Harold instantly trembled, quickly straightening his posture. "Nothing! I wasn't looking at anything!"Rosalie wouldn't let it go. "You kept staring at Elara! Why were you looking at her?"Flames burned in Rosalie's eyes as Harold hurriedly explained, "I just saw Xavier sitting in her lap and got curious! I never expected that child to be so close with her."He then gossiped with Rosalie, "Do you think if Elara dotes on Xavier like this, she might end up becoming Harvey's aunt?"A mischievous smirk spread across Harold's face."Only vulgar minds would come up with such vulgar thoughts!" Rosalie snapped.As a Fisher family member, her first reaction was utter disgust at such disgraceful speculation. How could she ever hold her head high in Capitol's elite circles if this happened?"How could Leonard possibly do such a t

Xavier eyed his surroundings warily, refusing to let anyone touch him as he walked between bodyguards. The backstage area bustled with people and large props. Some children wore exaggerated stage makeup and brightly colored costumes.Like a kitten caught in traffic, Xavier trembled with fear at the unfamiliar environment."Xavier!" Merida's loud, cheerful voice cut through the noise.Spotting Merida and Elara in the crowd, Xavier's dark eyes immediately lit up. He broke into a run toward them.Merida dashed forward too, leaping to meet Xavier. She scooped him up effortlessly, lifting him high into the air.Xavier soared upward, his face breaking into a smile at Merida's beaming expression.After spinning him around once, Merida carefully set him down—knowing more spins would make him dizzy."Xavier! I'm so happy you're here! Did you come to watch my performance?"Xavier nodded earnestly.His fingers reached out to touch the fringes on Merida's vibrant pink costume, his admirin

Rosalie's lips curled into a mocking smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Of course, you'd get selected no matter what you perform. I mean, having a school board chairman for a father does wonders."Nearby parents exchanged knowing glances.Elara asked calmly, "Ms. Fisher, did Harvey say something to you?""Not at all," Rosalie replied."Then are you just spreading rumors?" Elara continued. "My daughter's performance earned the arts department's approval. What does that have to do with the Fisher family?"Rosalie lifted her chin, her gaze turning condescending. Since Elara's divorce from Harvey, Rosalie had looked at her like royalty observing an ant beneath her feet."The arts teachers only approved it because Harvey's on the board."Elara simply smiled. Rosalie was clearly trying to pick a fight, but Elara wasn't interested in proving herself. She had no intention of arguing over whether her daughter's opportunity to perform was the result of favoritism from Harvey.Instead, sh

Niamh's mouth opened, her voice trembling as she muttered, "Why… Why would Harvey say that?"By pushing all the blame onto her, wasn't Harvey essentially sentencing her to death? It was no wonder Abel wanted to kill her! Niamh shivered violently, feeling as if her heart might split apart.Abel pointed at her face and growled, "After I break your legs, I'll drag you to the Fisher family to beg Harvey's forgiveness!""Dad! No! Harvey's lying! What he's saying isn't true!"She knew with certainty that Abel would truly break her legs. Disaster was coming for her!Benjamin interjected coldly, "What you should consider is why Harvey would say this. Regardless of the truth, when Harvey shifts all the blame to you, it means you've become worthless to him!"To him, you're just a scapegoat now!"Tears welled in Niamh's eyes. Had Harvey forgotten Dawn's dying words? How could he do this to her?"Dad, I've been framed!" Niamh murmured despairingly.Abel refused to listen. "I don't care if

The hospital room door suddenly swung open from the outside. Benjamin entered to find Abel pressing a pillow over Niamh's face.Without hesitation, he charged forward, shoving Abel away with his body. Abel stumbled backward onto the nightstand, still clutching the pillow in both hands."What the hell are you doing?" Abel roared at Benjamin as he looked at him, as if the younger man had interrupted him trying to discipline Nimah.Benjamin saw Niamh's eyes rolling back. Her face had turned blue, mouth gaping but unable to draw breath. He immediately administered chest compressions, reviving Niamh just in time.Abel threw the pillow at Benjamin. "How dare you push me?""You nearly killed her!" Benjamin snapped back.Spittle flew from Abel's mouth. "She's disgraced me personally and ruined our family's standing in Capitol society!"Benjamin retreated a step with a cold laugh. "Then go ahead and kill her!"Saving lives was instinctual, but now he regretted intervening. Had he stayed

"Wah!" Beau burst into loud sobs, his cries weak but desperate."I want Mommy! Daddy! I only want my mommy!"Harvey's handsome face froze over with icy detachment. Without another word to Beau, he turned and left the children's room.When the door closed behind him, Beau's wailing became muffled.…Harvey returned to his bedroom, but even in the quiet emptiness, he still couldn't catch his breath. A cold sensation crept up from his feet.Striding to the walk-in closet, he yanked open every drawer. He pulled out ties, watches, cufflinks, and pins, scattering them across the floor.Did Elara give him this one? Did she buy him that? Frustration crept in as he realized he couldn't remember.The gifts from business associates stood out clearly in his memory, but he couldn't distinguish which items came from Elara versus his stylist. With growing dismay, Harvey realized he'd never properly looked at any present from Elara—not even once.Now he couldn't recall which accessories were

Beau was laying on the bed. His large, pitch-black pupils occupied most of his eye sockets, leaving only tiny whites that emitted a faint blue glow in the dim room.Harvey opened his mouth, only to feel as if someone had stuffed a wad of paper down his throat. His voice caught abruptly. Yet Beau's gaze was still brimming with longing and expectation.The boy tightened his grip on Harvey's sleeve."She already divorced me..." Harvey said slowly.How could he possibly reconcile with Elara? He would never return to what he'd left behind. After all, when they signed the divorce papers, he declared Elara would be the one begging him!When they obtained the divorce certificate, the thought of turning back never crossed his mind! Even if Elara had pleaded with him, it would still be impossible!Yet for Beau's sake, Harvey decided to make his greatest concession."If your mother comes begging for reconciliation, I'll consider it." As he spoke these words, Harvey clenched his fist—the st
