Elena’s POV

“Rachel, what are you doing here? And how did you know my whereabouts?” I questioned with disbelief.

Rachel's eyes were filled with concern as she approached me. "Elena, I've been looking all over for you," she said, her voice soft and gentle. "I knew something was wrong when I saw Alex and Bonnie together. What happened?" She asked, caressing my face.

I felt a lump form in my throat as I tried to explain, but the words wouldn't come out. Rachel's expression turned from concern to shock as she took in my maid-of-honor dress and the tears streaming down my face.

"Oh my god, Elena. They got married, didn't they?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. I nodded, feeling a fresh wave of tears wash over me.

Rachel pulled me into a tight hug. "I'm so sorry, Elena. I warned you about Alex, but you didn't listen. He's a master manipulator, and he's done this to me before."

I pulled back, looking at Rachel in surprise. "What do you mean?" I asked, my voice shaking. Rachel

    Elena’s POVI sat in my cell, staring blankly at the cold, gray walls. It had been weeks since I was arrested, and I still couldn't believe my fate. I was innocent, but no one seemed to care. Rachel had visited me every day, trying to keep my spirits up, but even her optimism was starting to wear off. I felt like I was losing myself, trapped in this tiny cell with no hope of escape. The sound of footsteps echoed outside my cell, and I looked up to see a guard standing in the doorway. "Elena Gilbert, you have a visitor," he said, his voice gruff. I stood up, wondering who it could be. Rachel had said she wouldn't be able to visit today. The guard led me to the visitation room, and I was surprised to see Jack sitting there, his eyes locked on mine. "Elena, I'm so sorry," he said, his voice filled with regret. "I had no idea Kiara would do something like this." I shook my head, feeling a mix of emotions. "It's not your fault, Jack. You tried to warn me." Jack nodded, his eyes droppi

    Elena’s POVThe trial was a blur, with witness after witness testifying against me. Kiara and Alex were nowhere to be found, but their presence was felt throughout the courtroom. The prosecutor presented a damning case, with evidence that seemed to point to my guilt. But I knew I was innocent. I knew I had been set up. And then, just as the trial was about to conclude, a surprise witness took the stand. The officer who had interrogated me, the one who had seemed so kind and trustworthy. But now, he was testifying against me, his words dripping with malice. "Elena Gilbert is a cold-blooded killer," he said. "She confessed to the crime, and we have the evidence to prove it." I was stunned. What was going on? Why was he lying? And then, I saw Alex, sitting in the back of the courtroom, a smug smile on his face. He had bribed the officer, I realized. He had paid him off to testify against me. The judge's voice brought me back to reality. "Elena Gilbert, you have been found guilty of

    Elena’s POV Here's a possible next chapter:I nodded, feeling a bit frustrated that Daniel didn't answer my question. But I was also grateful for his help, so I let it slide. "Okay, thank you," I said, taking a bite of the sandwich he offered me. As I ate, Daniel started brainstorming ways to clear my name and take down Kiara and Alex. I listened intently, feeling a sense of hope that I hadn't felt in weeks. But as we talked, I couldn't shake off the feeling that Daniel was hiding something from me. Why was he so eager to help me? And what did he mean by "revenge"? I pushed the thoughts aside and focused on the task at hand. We spent the rest of the day coming up with a plan, and by the end of it, I felt a sense of determination that I hadn't felt in months. We were going to take down Kiara and Alex, and I was going to clear my name. No matter what it took.The next morning, Daniel woke me up early. “We need to get ready, we are going to leave the States tonight”. He informed me.

    Elena’s POV “Hey looking for something”. Daniel whispered.“Oh, Jesus!!” I exclaimed with fear.I was just on a secret mission on who Daniel was on call with. But how did he figure out that I was trying to sneak in and know what he was talking about?“Seems like you don’t trust me well enough Elena and if we must do this, you need to trust me and that’s the truth”. Daniel spilled out in anger I stood there, frozen in fear, as Daniel's words cut deep into my heart. I knew I had been caught red-handed, and I didn't know how to explain myself. "Daniel, I...I was just worried about you," I stammered, trying to come up with a believable excuse. But Daniel just shook his head, his eyes flashing with anger. "Worried about me? By sneaking around and spying on me? Elena, that's not trust, that's distrust." He took a step closer to me, his voice low and menacing. "If you can't trust me, then maybe we shouldn't be doing this together." I felt a chill run down my spine as I realized the gravi

    Elena’s POV I felt like I had been punched in the gut. "What?!" I exclaimed, my mind racing with shock and disbelief. Jack's eyes widened in surprise, and he sat up straight. "Whoa, hold up, Daniel. You're saying Alex killed Bonnie?" Daniel nodded, his expression grim. "Yes, I'm afraid so. I've been investigating, and all the evidence points to Alex." Daniel responded I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Alex, my ex-boyfriend and Bonnie’s husband, ... a murderer? It couldn't be. "But why?" I asked, my voice shaking. "What motive could he possibly have?" Daniel sighed. "I'm not entirely sure yet, but I think it has something to do with what they are working on. Maybe Alex wanted to get rid of Bonnie because she was getting too close to the truth or it could be some other reason." Jack's face turned red with anger. "That son of a... We have to take him down, Daniel. We can't let him get away with this." Daniel nodded. "Agreed. But we need to be careful. We can't just accuse him

Alex was already there, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light in the darkness. "So, Elena," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "I see you're still playing detective. How quaint." I smiled, trying to keep my cool. "Just trying to get to the truth, Alex. You know how it is." Alex sneered. "The truth? You want to know the truth? I'll tell you the truth. I killed Bonnie, and I'll kill you too if you don't back off." My heart skipped a beat as I heard his words, but I knew I had to keep him talking. "Why, Alex? Why did you do it?" Alex laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. "Because she was getting too close to the truth. She thought she was smart enough to use me? She was going to expose me, and I couldn't let that happen." I felt a surge of anger, but I kept my cool, knowing that the voice spy was recording every word. "You're not going to get away with this,

As we walked into the room where Phila had arranged everything, Daniel’s face froze in shock. There, sitting calmly, was Alex.Daniel blinked, disbelief in his eyes. "Alex? What are you doing here?"Alex slowly turned, a smirk playing on his lips. "You told me to come, remember? You texted me."Daniel’s confusion deepened. "No, I didn’t! I never texted you."I couldn’t help but enjoy the unraveling drama. With a sly smile, I crossed my legs and leaned back. "Wow, Daniel, I’m impressed. You’re truly something. But let me clear the air—I did the texting. I needed you both here. After all, birds of the same feather…"Daniel, pale and anxious, stood up and grabbed my arm.

I slept for a few hours, waking up feeling slightly better.When I walked into the living room, Daniel was sitting on the couch, watching TV.

I'm about to make a big decision, and I need to be sure of what I'm doing. If Daniel's hiding something, I need to know."Phila grinned mischievously. "I'm on it. I'll dig up everything I can find."I smiled, feeling a sense of relief. "Thanks, Phila. I knew I could count on you."Phila nodded. "Don't worry, Elena. We'll get to the bottom of this.

You look deep in thought."I sat down at my desk and filled her in on Daniel's suggestion. "He wants us to merge our properties and make him the sole owner," I said, watching for her reaction.Phila's expression turned thoughtful. "That's a big decision," she said. "What do you think about it?"I shrugged. "I don't know. That's why I'm asking for your opinion."Phila leaned back in her chair, steepling her fingers together. "If I were to advise you, I'd say keep your property to yourself."I raised an eyebrow. "Why?"Phila's expression turned serious. "You can't trust anybody, Elena. Especially when it comes to something you've worked hard for. You know what Uncle Smith tried to do to you. What if Daniel...?"I held up a hand, stopping her. "Daniel would never do that to me. He loves me."Phila's expression softened. "I know he

"You were amazing in there," she said, grinning.I smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. "Thanks, Phila.

Thank you for meeting us here today."We walked into the bank manager's office, where all the necessary documents were laid out on the table.

As I got dressed, I heard my stomach growling and headed downstairs to see what was for dinner.Just as I was about to sit down, my phone rang. I hesitated for a moment before answering it."Hello?" I said, expecting it to be Phila or maybe even Mr. Johnson."Elena, it's Detective James," a deep voice said on the other end of the line. "I'm afraid I have some bad news. Alex has escaped from custody."My heart skipped a beat as I felt a surge of fear. "What? How did that happen?""We're not entirely sure yet," Detective James replied. "But we're working on it.
