The phone ringing made him shift slowly; he felt Elara react to him shifting with her literally on top of him. He managed to get his phone off the nightstand without waking her up. He looked at the screen with the unknown number flashing as the phone rang. He looked at the time; it was just a few minutes past three am. He wondered why someone in their right mind would be calling another person at this time of the day. He sighed as he put the phone on silent so he could avoid all the other calls and set it back on the nightstand. He wrapped his hand across Elara and allowed the stress of the day to lead him to dreamland.

THE NEXT MORNING

"Awake and shine." Ezra sat beside the bed with a tray in hand. Elara coiled in bed before stretching out and opening her eyes slowly.

"What are you doing?"

"I brought breakfast," he said with a wink.

"Oh, you did," she said with a smile as she sat up in bed, allowing the covers to fall to her waist. "And what about you? Have you had breakfast?"

"You c

    "Well, that was a bust." Olivia-Marie had thought she would be able to get into Elara's head and extort some money from her, but the plan had failed so badly that she felt horrible for trying. She was no longer the same spineless girl she could manipulate, and that made her a bit scared. Ezra had told her that if she ever showed up in front of him again, he would cancel the card and make sure she faced legal consequences, but the truth was that the life she now lived was too extravagant, and the peanuts he put on the card were not enough to sustain her.She thought she would be able to shake a little more cash from Elara or maybe buy the same deal she had with Ezra with her. She was disappointed that she had seen right through her ruse. She had no choice but to go to Ezra; he would fold with just a little threat. She knew how protective he was of Elara since the kidnapping, and anything that seemed like a threat to Elara would be worrisome for him. All she needed was a bump to the mon

    "Ma'am, someone's here to see." Elara looked up at her assistant, Abigail. She had been lost in thought and she did not realise that the girl had come in until she spoke."Who is it?" Elara asked, trying to play it off."There is a woman here. She had been making a series of troubles in the lobby, insisting that she had to meet you or else she might release some news about you.""What news?""We are still unable to secure what she knows and if it might be a risk to you," Abigail replied."Then why is the security guard not kicking her out or doing something about it? Or do you want them to go down there to talk to her?" Elara asked. Abigail had been efficient, so it was weird she was coming in with all of these things."It's just that I think you should meet her." Elara wanted to retort but she could tell that Abigail was only looking out for her."Did you at least get a name?" Elarta asked, and Abihail shook her head."I am going to see her only because you said I should and that mea

    Ezra was glad that he finally was able to pull Elara from everyone, as they seemed to want to take her away and all he wanted was a moment alone with her. He opened the door to his room and ushered her in. She looked around with a smile; his room was as spotless as ever and it was one of the things she loved about him."Great job with your room as..." He cut her off by slamming his lips against hers. It was as if he was rushing to get it with the way he kissed her. She was not complaining about it as she tried her best to match his pace. He held her waist and pulled her closer to himself with a smile on his face as he kissed her. They both pulled away, and he cupped her head with his hand and smiled at her face as well."That was kind of hot," she said, and he threw his head back. Elara was one who would not say anything like that, so it was shocking. "You seem shocked.""It is just that you..." he trailed off because he did not know how to put it."I learnt a little, I guess you seem

    Elara walked through the house, and the security guard at the gate let her in. She was a bit nervous as she walked in. She and Ezra were supposed to have a nice night out, but then they would not be able to get any nice places for dinner, and they did not want to risk being in public like that, and they needed time alone since it had been a while since they had been together."Elara?" Elara turned to the sound of the voice. She vaguely remembered the voice calling out to her; it was as if it was in her memory but covered up by a lot of fog. She saw the woman she knew as middle-aged come into view, and she gasped in shock. Relanda was now different from what she remembered; a couple of years was enough to change someone more than they thought."Relanda?" she said as she walked to her."Oh my, you still remember me?" Relanda asked with shock, making Elara frown at her words."What do you mean?""You left all of a sudden, and now that you are back, you did not think for once to come say

    "Finally, I get to see you," Ezra said over the phone. Elara stared at herself in the mirror before walking over to the table and taking up the phone on speaker."Well, I am not the one who travelled for a month, leaving his girlfriend all to herself," Elara replied. She had been anticipating today since Ezra was getting back, but she wanted to give him a taste of what she had been feeling. She was not angry at him because she understood that he had to be away for his work, but what she could not understand was why he was away for so long."You know this was not planned this way; it just happened, right?" he asked and she hummed."I know, and my reacting this way makes me seem like a brat, but you just try staying away for an entire month and see if you wouldn't miss," she said and let out a long sigh."El, I do miss you; you aren't the only one who is missing me," he said with a laugh. She let out a groan as she played back her statement in her head and realised the nonsense she had

    Isla spent a little more time with the old woman, and she could tell that people assumed she was hard just because she was a ruthless businesswoman. From the interaction with her, she could tell that she was just a sweet old woman who had a great flair for business and wanted it done in a good way."You know I do not have much time left here on earth.""Mom, not this again." Marcus cut her off before she could ramble about death. She had been saying all of this nonsense to him for a while, no? With the way she spoke, he thought she would never reach her birthday celebration, but she did. He did not want to admit it, but her thought process and words had been scary. At first, he thought it was all a ruse, but it became serious every time they spoke and it began to drive them apart. Marcus had lost his first family because of death; he could not think of losing the only person who accepted him to the same cruel hands of death."I know death is scary for you; I mean, it's scary for every

    Isla looked up with fear in her eyes. She had always considered herself a pretty bold person who would never be afraid of anyone, but seeing the expression on the old woman's face, she could not help but drum up scenarios in her head. What if the woman said she would never allow her to be with her son? Or maybe she would offer her some money to leave her son alone?'Isla, you've watched too many dramas; things like that do not happen in real life, and you are rich as well; why would she offer you money?' Isla said in her mind as she squeezed her hands together. She had been the one who suggested that they come there to see her, but now she was regretting her decision. Maybe she should have let her find out from the press. She knew that if she did not do it now, she would still have to do it later in the future. Maybe the earlier the better?Old Mrs Smith stood up from the chair and walked through the room till she was where they were sitting. She was wearing pants and a button-up shir

    Isla rushed towards Marcus, who was on a business trip and had just gotten back. She decided to surprise him at the airport, and he was thrilled to see her. They hugged and stayed still for a moment, knowing now that their secret relationship had just gotten exposed. They pulled away after a while and looked at each other."What are you doing here?""I heard you were getting in today, and I decided to surprise you here." She turned to his side and held his hand so they could walk out of the airport."You know this is really sweet, but there are a lot of reporters around here, and I did not want my mom to find out about you like this," he said, and she nodded."I understand, which is why I think you should take them to go see her today.""You want to go see her?""We've been dating for months now, and you've met my parents, and all of that is old news. I think you should take me to see her.""I was going to do that; I just did not know how well you'd take it.""How else would I take it
