Honk! Honk !
The honking of cars made Eliana open her eyes
And the familiar sight of the highway made her realize they were stuck in a traffic with alot of cars behind and after them. It hadn't been long since her best friend Sammy came to pick her up from the hospital which turns out to be "Senwol foundation hospital" one of the best hospitals in Seoul Korea and seems to be the top best
"I think we're stuck in a traffic" Sammy glanced at her through the mirror
"Yeah it's fully packed" Eliana briefly responded
Just then,her eyes spotted the billboard a little distance from where she was
On the billboard was a broadcast about "Her sudden death before her wedding with Davis Roosevelt"
The trending news of her suppose death was all over social media with millons of views. The replayed screen of his proposal on their last summer vocation was viewed next
She saw herself smiling widely at Davis who kissed her hand
Her smile was bright,too bright as if she was making the best decision of her life.
Which only disgusted her more, she barely heard Davis remorseful lines after that part due to the sound proof window. Infront of the interviewers he acted very remorse and saddened
To the extend he even twisted the whole story aiming all blames on her
The headlines reads:
( -The Soon -to -be Bride Eliana Torres attempted to end the wedding proving she only loved Davis for his wealth and nothing else, leading the couple to a fight,on the process to stab him, she slumps down on the stairs and died-RIP)
In other articles they used
( -Soon to be bride Eliana Torres died after attempting to murder Davis Roosevelt her groom to be -) see reasons -
Clearly Davis provided them with a fake video as evidence
Turning the tables at once,the media seem to be indulge in each articles published and posted all accusing her with hateful comments and reacting their hatred of her scamming Davis and nearly killing him as well . All aggregation were on her like a fireball leaving no room for space,rumurs kept spreading about their tragic ending. The News had spread like wirld fire
Eliana could only close her eyes as she took another deep breath her jaw tightened as anger built in her chest "That asshole...
"You should 'nt watch that " Sammy snapped her thumbs on Eliana face"We both know he's a jerk. You haven't watched the part when I confronted him. Guess they tuk that part down,I know you wouldn't do that..I didn't believe it..I never did.. you loved him so much and did everything possible for that punk yet he never thought twice on repaying you like this. I couldn't believe the news of your surpose death but when I rushed to the hospital you were being rolled out and covered in white. I thought it was you...."
Eliana glanced back at her" everything was fake, That lunatic wanted it all with Lorisa . Guess I never saw it then blinded in love " She murmured releasing a scoff at the end
Sammy smiled sadly,tears dripping off her cheeks and clouded on her eyes "I really wanted to leave Seoul for good,I couldn't stand all the memories...am so glad you're alive " The news'd left Sammy frustrated she couldn't believe her childhood best friend was being blackmailed to death by the guy she trusted so much. It was enough pain to leave Seoul for good. No one believed her side of the story,they all thought she was insane.
Eliana sighed heavily "I thought I was really gonna die, I saw nothing else than darkness....
"Thanks to your saviour, you didn't" Sammy cut in to her words sniffing before she finally asked " you didn't recall anything about who did? A clue or something the doctor said about him or her?..."
Eliana pursed her lips and she wondered herself, The reason they hadn't mention any information on her saviour. She'd plan to crash at Sammy 's place for a while digging into surveillance cameras around the estate Davis live, she was sure she would find some proof and eyewitnesses with help from Sammy of course
But now the thought of finding out her saviour identifty cross her mind
Should she?
"They hardly said anything" Eliana answered thoughtfully
"Damn" Sammy sighed dramatically " your mysterious boyfriend really doesn't want to be found" She slightly teased
"Boyfriend?" Eliana choked on her own spit she eyed Sammy playfully
"Come on I was just joking around" Sammy winked at her and suddenly got interrupted by the honking of the car behind them,seems the traffic was already moving. She quickly put back her seatbelt and stated the engines
Eliana gazed momentarily at the billboard displaying the photo of Davis Roosevelt and the flashing headlines written boldly. They were few rumurs on him having a replacement bride instead on their wedding which was prospone to the next day after
Eliana didn't need a soathsayer to tell her that replacement bride identity
It was obviously Lorisa
On that day she was sure going to ruin him entirely
"I can't wait to tear off your mask and show the world how much of a monster you really are, Davis Roosevelt,it'll be an unexpected surprise"
......
Two days rolled by quickly , The news of the tragic ending of Eliana Torres the runaways daughter of the Torres family and Davis Roosevelt award winning actor of Starbucks industry spreaded all over Korea
As well as the rumurs of Davis replacement bride becomes more visible,pics of him spotted in various restaurants with Lorisa went viral, leaving lots of guesses of her being his bride. They could 'nt wait for D-Day to arrive
Even during an interview with Lorisa, she claimed she'd supported Davis all this while and 'd told him to keep away from Eliana. However she also brought up the news of Eliana getting involved with a guy recently leaving the media in ulter chaos
At the end of the interview, she ended with just one line
"Yes,I and Davis 're engaged"
The wedding was taking place at a large hall,an hotel hired. D-Day finally arrived,A day every one had been expecting and also.. dreading
Standing Infront of the aisle,was Lorisa dress in a White wedding gown .. with all smiles, grinning from ear to ear as she faced Davis Roosevelt
He was also beaming brightly,a big smile that helped shielded his devilish agenda. He was in a white tuxedo and black pants, his hair was styled to the side.... Lorisa found him breathtaking, she 'd hoped back then for this moment,a moment when Eliana's finally out of her life and his. She would now be annouce as the Heiress, standing by her side would be Davis -her true love
Lorisa beamed a bright smile while Davis grinned, with his eyes shinning as if he had seen his golden dolphin,he couldn't wait for the girl of his dreams to finally be his wife and becomes the Heiress herself.
Since he already get rid of Eliana, handling her brother would be a piece of cake. He thought despicably
They looked like the perfect couple as they waited for the priest to start conducting the wedding
"Do you, Davis Roosevelt promise to hold and love Lorisa Torres through thick and thin, sickness and health until death do you apart?"
Davis smiles widely at Lorisa " I do"
Lorisa bright smiles even went wider as the priest repeated "Do you Lorisa Torres promise to hold and love Davis Roosevelt through thick and thin, sickness and health, until, death do you apart?
"I do" Lorisa replied smiling
"Since there's no interjection or objections..I hereby pronounce you both...
"I interject" A voice came from the large doors drawing everyone attention and eyes towards the wide door opened
A round of whispers followed, gasps from each individuals full of shock, speechless and surprise
Davis face fell as all colours drained off his face
The camera flashes on the gorgeous guest face as she emerged from outside the door. Her imposing figure made her look dashing
Dressed in a black straight trousers ,a black blazer, black crop top inner wear pinned,a black slingback pumps with black sunglasses. Eliana Torres looked breathtaking but that wasn't the reason the crowd were shocked
They couldn't believe their eyes. Was this her ghost?
How could the dead daughter of the Torres family be alive?
As if that wasn't enough surprises
Another round of whispers followed and just then, did the polls Walk in, nearly ten in number
Eliana flashed a smirk
Now it's her turn to play this game
Eliana could hear the whispers around but she didn't concerntrate on that. She was aware that everyone was in shock and they never expected an unexpected guest
Who cares? She cared less of that part
After all , Maleficent never get invited to the princess dedication ceremony
In her case,was now a wedding
"Hope you miss me? Davis, I've alot of surprises" Eliana spoke loudly descending the hall as she walk straight toward the aisle
She intentionally did not look at her father or any relatives because she was sure of her speechless and shock they were and she wasn't ready for any of them to intervene
Eliana reached the aisle and removed her sunglasses, she flash a pitiful smile at Lorisa and looked straight ahead holding gazes with Davis
"Eliana...." Davis growled and Eliana just smirked when she saw the veins popping on Davis forehead. He was trying his best not to look suspicious but he sucks at it
This was like a tight slap on his face
"Davis Roosevelt" Eliana pronounced his name disgusted. How much she loves this sight!!! She loves this very moment, the payback right on the bride and groom face
Eliana raised a brow at Davis as he fumed. As if he was irrelevant, Eliana turned her attention to the police " I'll let the police handle this"
Without any delay, the officer walked Infront of Davis with handcuffs
"Davis Roosevelt, you 're under arrest for attempting to murder Miss Eliana Torres, you 've the right to remain silent and right to an attorney. Anything you say can be used against you in court..."
"Excuse me?"Davis words rolled out removing his grip from the officer who forcefully handcuffed him
Eliana was sure everyone was shocked by her actions and they were pointing irretating treats at her
She acted as if she didn't notice those looks
Davis couldn't afford not getting married to Lorisa, not after his plan for years,he must elope with her and gets his hands on the Heiress wealth
He won't allow anyone to stop him, sulking up to Eliana side, Davis reached for her hands as he pleaded but she tuk steps from him" Please, Eliana. Let's talk about this. I honestly loved you Eliana,I thought you did the same but you never did, you wanted me out of your life for another man. I saw you slump down the stairs,I called the ambulance and rushed you to the hospital. I thought you were dead. I never planned on marrying Lorisa but she stood by my side and I've always proven her love. I would gladly pay for all you've done for me but please don't be like this " He begged, earning the sympathy of the crowds but unexpectedly earn a hard thunderious slap from Eliana making his face turn sideways and five fingers shown visibly
Another gasp erupted from the crowds and reporters
"How dare you!!!!!!" Lorisa rushed to attack Eliana but was stopped by the police
Eliana rolled her eyes turning back at Davis" You 're just a cobra but in the eyes of others innocent. You're a pretender,a deceiver, Davis, so shut the fuck up!!!!!!! I'm getting tired of this " She snapped at his face with no sign of regret
"Eliana, what's the meaning of this?!!!!!!" Mr Torres, her father snapped back at her
Salomie,her stepmother quickly stood up as well supporting her husband as she spoke up "How cruel must you be...!!!
"You dare return back, causing a disaster at your sister wedding. You isolated yourself from your own family for years and cared less, betrayed the man who loved you.. and now arresting him. I can not stand this nonsense. Never!!!!! , this can not continue, not in my watch " He said without any regards
His words made a frown cloud Eliana 's face immediately,her fists were balled as anger coursed through her
Davis successfully hid his victoriously smirk when he heard that,as long as Eliana keep having the bad names and he remains innocent,he would be alright. No one would suspect him
"Mr Stark Torres, you mentioned family as if you 've ever been one, not even a father. After my mom passed away,none of you stand as a family, not even once. I ran away from home for the very same reason. So I would advice,you don't intervene " Eliana face him as she stared down at him
"Tell me, you deceitful thing. What 've Davis done to deserve this " Salomie beat her next words
"For your information, Davis's arrested for attempting to murder me and as I've heard you guys planned to sell off my mom property to your precious daughter with just a blink of an eye. Am sure you 're aware. Davis Roosevelt 's a pest ,a pretender, and the beginning of trouble and also the center of everything unfortunate,let me make this clear,he's nothing but an ungrateful tortoise,a backstabber" She barely used much effort to roost Davis burnt
"He's the worst" She said crossing her arms on her chest
Davis shook his head "you lying bitch. You pretended you loved me and backstabbed me. How are you alive ? Did you also fake your death?
His pain filled statement made everyone sad and supported him. Eliana in another shade of wickedness. They rebuked Eliana and claimed she was a start of all misfortune
Lorisa scoffed at Eliana"you 're the backstabber, the bad luck in our lives" She struggled with the police
Eliana calmly told her and every one else " And what if I've prove?
Lorisa quickly snapped her head at her, her eyes wielded
"How?" She whimpered, her heart raising afraid of the outcomes
While Davis was unsettled,he had a very bad feeling about this thing Eliana was about to show. He already could tell he wasn't gonna like this one bit
Even Mr and Mrs Torres as well
The crowds were full of murmurs
Eliana smile spread a little in appreciation to their silence before it dissapeared " Okay I assume that as yes" With that, she signalled one of the police who immediately switched on the projector
The police officer instructed the man controlling the projector that was made to show clips of Lorisa and Davis pictures together. They inserted a flash drive and Soon a video popped up on the screen
The moment the video began, The crowds eyes wielded in shock but their eyes remain fixed on the video, they couldn't believe the sight Infront of them, they were each left utterly stunned with the clip playing
And the fact that, Davis 's in it
All eyes fall on Davis and Lorisa
Davis stood there, motionless as if red pepper was poured directly into his eyes, worst with a bucket of cold water. Not just cold but iced.
His face, Lorisa 's,Mr and Mrs Torres faces was drained off colours
