Chapter 7

The next morning, Elena sat weeping softly as she stared at her knees. Everything semed so surreal and she could barely believe her sister was gone.

“Hey,” Marcel said with a knock as he stepped into the room. Elena tried to wipe her face quickly but Marcel had already noticed her crying.

The previous night after promising to help Elena, he had gone home to sleep and returned the next day. When he arrived, Marcel went straight to the doctor’s office to get Elena discharged and sign all her paperwork.

“You’re crying again,” Marcel said softly as he sidled up to her bedside.

“Yeah, I seem to be doing a lot of that lateyl,” Elena chuckled humorlessly.

“Elena,” Marcel said softly as he held her hands and squeezed it.

“I’m fine,” She said as she shook herhead to clear the thoughts that had haunted her all night long.

“No, you’re not,”

“It’s just. I guess after everything that happened. Some part of me hoped that David would come see me in the hospital.

I mean, he’s my ne

    Chapter 8Elena walked into the company building with renewed Virgor. She was about to carry out the plan that had been stewing in her mind all night long and she couldn’t help but feel slight excitement. They walked into the company together but while Marcel took the elevator to his office, Elena took the stairs. She was trying to avoid being seen by another person as much as possible. Her plan depended on David’s ignorance about her presence in the company. Elena climbed to the fifth floor where David’s office was, as briskly as she could. After being married to him for five years, she knew David’s timetable and knew he was not present in the office. She stood behind the stairway door and peeped through a small crack in the door. Elena smiled a bit as she saw David’s secretary sitting at her desk. The girl had always been a simpleton so it was pretty easy for Elena to fool her. Elena knew she didn’t have much time so she quickly but quietly retrieved her phone from her jeans p

    Chapter 9Adrenaline surged through Elena’s veins as her survival instincts kicked in. She quickly evaded the impending blow as she scrambled out of the chair narrowly missing David’s attack. “What the fuck is wrong with you!” Elena screamed in terror as David crashed into the desk in surprise. She didn’t wait to get a reply from him and leaned forward to tap the enter button on the mouse for the video transfer to begin. David righted himself and grabbed Elena’s hand aggressively as she tried to pull away. “I’ve had enough of you!” David growled in anger as she slapped Wlena across her face. Elena went crashing into the table from the impact of the blow. Her vision swam, and she gripped the edge of the table with her hands as she used it as support to get back to her feet. “You killed my sister. I’m going to ruin you,” Elena swore in a low voice as the monitor began to beep and ‘TRANSFER COMPLETE’ flashed across the screen. David looked to the monitor as the truth of what Elen

    Chapter 10Evangelyn’s living room was the first sign that someone had gotten to the house before them. It was in disarray with pillows strewn about, the contents of the cabinets littered on the floor, and some of the sofas ripped open. Tears filled Elena’s eyes as she stepped in. The smell of her sister was still fresh and enveloped her as she walked deeper into the house with Marcel trailing her softly. “They came here. I don’t know how they knew Evangelyn had something on them but David and his bitch came here,” Elena said to Marcel with her eyes flashing as they stepped into the kitchen and surveyed even greater damage. All of Evangelyn’s things had been thrashed in an effort to find whatever evidence she might have been keeping for Elena. “Do you think they got the document?” Marcel asked in defeat as he looked around at the seemingly hopeless situation. “No. They couldn’t have. The hiding spot is secure and only Evangelyn and I know where it is,” Elena replied with a shake o

    CHAPTER 11Marcel! Marcel!” Elena called out in terror as she hurriedly looked around the kitchen and the living room, but Marcel wasn’t there. Fear overtook Elena’s mind as the sounds of the police coming out of their cars and conversing amongst themselves hit her. “He probably went out to confirm if there was any problem,” Elena muttered to herself in panic as she tried to make sense of the present situation. Elena’s adrenaline rose, she panted and paced about the base of the staircase in utter confusion and fear. She knew the news was fake, but only two other people knew the truth. Her dead sister Evangelyn, who was no longer in the picture, and Marcel, who was surprisingly nowhere to be found. “Marcel!” She yelled out for the last time, hoping that he had gone up the stairs and would hear the sound of her voice, but her call was met with silence, and in a split second decision, she decided to save herself first. From the side of her vision, she saw the policemen making their

Chelsea is my next of kin and she’d get everything, so even if you are foolish enough to kill me, it still…”David didn’t get to finish his sentence because in a surge of rage, Elena smashed the bottle on David’s h

    Chapter 15Elena spent the next few days resting and planning as much as possible to make her plan foolproof.With the money she had taken from David, she paid for her cab and a few nights at the motel.The moment she got there, she rested for a bit, then searched his wallet for money she could use to buy some stuff.There was no loose change in his wallet, but she found two of his credit cards, which she used in the store.She bought a box of hair dye, new clothes, painkillers, scissors, and some new shades.Elena had been reluctant to use the credit cards to prevent David from tracing the transaction, but the cash she had found on David was low, so all she could do was hope he didn’t notice his missing wallet.“Thank you,” Elena said kindly to the room service lady who had delivered her breakfast.Over the last few days, she had made sure to leave her room as little as possible. Going as far as to have her food delivered directly to her doorstep. Even her motel room was registered u

Come here!” Elena whispered as she beckoned wildly for Marcel to join her at the edge where she stood, covered by trees.“What are you doing here?” Marcel asked her in confusion as his eyes roamed her in shock.“Why haven't you been making my calls?” Elena snapped in irritation as soon as he came close to her.She pulled on his hand and lead him deeper into her makeshift hiding place.“Elena, wait, you're not making any sense. Why are you here?” Marcel asked again as he continued to stare at her like she had grown a second head.“What do you mean why am I here? David set me up with the police, he canceled my credit cards, I can't go home, the only hope I have is the evidence with you and you haven't been taking my calls! You just abandoned me to find for myself,” Elena whispered hotly as she blinked her tears away furiously.Marcel's brows rose in what Elena interpreted to be understanding as he held her gently.“Hey, calm down. It'll all be fine,” He said softly.Bu

    Chapter 17Marcel huffed in exhaustion as he turned around trying to find Elena.The girl just refused to disappear. Initially, he had been kind of sad for her.I mean the trap for her had taken her innocent sister. But maybe it was better, in a way.“Marcellus! There you are!” Maria cried as she jogged to catch up with him.He hissed in irritation. I mean he liked María on a perfectly good day. But not now.Not when every second spent conversing meant Elena could get away.“Yes?” Marcel asked Maria in a strained voice.“Calm down. I just wanted to ask you to take the petrol to meet Mr Sánchez. He needs it for the bonfire tonight,” She explained as she passed him the keg.He wanted to refuse. How on earth would he run after the bitch with a keg full of petrol?“Look Maria-“ he started to protest when she dropped it in front of him.“No excuses. I’ve given it to you. Do whatever the hell you want. It’s your job on the line not mine,” Maria smirked as she turned around and left.With a

The invitation was the most coveted thing as zero cameras were seen in the hall save for the officially approved videographers.The orchestra struck a cord, the double doors swung open and Elena Sanchez began her walk down the aisle.In her right hand she held a bouquet of flowers and her left down was intertwined with a man’s own.Shock rippled through the guests as they recognized the man as Chairman Donatelli.On the other side of the long aisle stood the groom of the day.Once Italy’s most suitable bachelor, Marco Dantelli stood with his eyes wet as his grandfather slowly escorted his bride towards him.Despite Rosa’s naggings about protocol and what was considered proper, Elena had written her own vows.The hall fell silent as her words resonated and she whispered them with tears in her throat.She would love him.

    Reborn for Revenge New chapter “So? What do you think?” Rosa Donatelli asked her future daughter-in-law excitedly.“Umm….,” Elena trailed with a smile.“I know, I know,” Rosa sighed. “You want to wear your own dress. But it’s not made by any popular designer,” Rosa looked distressed as she patted down her bun and sighed. “What will I say when the other women ask who designed my daughter-in-law’s dress? An unnamed store from New York City?”Francesca and Elena locked eyes from the full-length mirror and they both burst into giggles.“Oh stop it!” Rosa hissed at them but the edge of her lip was lifted as well. A smile was brewing and she knew it.It wasn’t like Elena hated the dress. Far from it, Rosa’s dress indeed spoke of quiet luxury with its soft lace and intricate pearl design.It fit perfectly too. Pancakes aside, it was almost like the dress had been hand-sewn for her. She didn’t have any particular attachment to her own dress and she could have worn it.Just one issue.Elena

    Chapter 96Elena Sanchez slipped in and out of consciousness as she heard shouting in the room. At some point, a blow had been thrown, followed by a loud slap that seemed to shock her properly awake.No, she had not been slapped, the slap was for someone else. It was in fact the noise of the slap that woke her up from her drug-like state.She vaguely registered that the bodice of her dress was torn and she pulled together the scraps of the fabric hurriedly trying to cover herself.Some footsteps and the warmth of a coat covered her. She closed her eyes and took in a breath of gratitude.Cedarwood smoky spice. The coat smelled like… Marco. Yes, the man she was supposed to marry. Elena jerked awake fully and flung open her eyes.“Are you mad! What a miscreant! How dare you!”Rosa Donatelli was red faced and screaming angrily. Elena felt disorientated and confused. What had happened?She turned her head to Marco who stood beside her, rubbing her hair with his face twisted in concern.“A

    Chapter 95Elena made her way down to get breakfast but her head was spinning. Had Marco not come back last night from where he went with DaSilva? Why else would Vicker carry her instead of her supposed husband?“Dear, are you okay? You don’t look so well,” Queeneth, one of Marco’s cousins spoke up as she got to the dining table.Elena gave her a small smile and fanned herself with my palm. “I… I’m fine. I just need some air. Excuse me,” Before she could reply properly, Elena rushed out of the dining towards the drawing room window and pulled out her phone.Her hands shook as she dialed Marco’s number.Ring Ring.The phone rang and her stomach was in knots until he finally picked up the call.“Hello?”“Where are you?” Elena demanded immediately.In the background of the call, She could hear DaSilva’s voice and it grated on her nerves. “Did you come back last night?”“Sorry baby. I called Mama because you were asleep. I’ll be back in time for my bachelor’s party. Just…”Marco’s voice

    Chapter next.“Oh, I think that pose is cute,”Elena squeezed her eyes shut and internally groaned at the sound of DaSilva’s voice. Here she was, trying to process that her soon-to-be husband could potentially have a five-year-old child and the woman was yapping loudly.“You okay?” Marco asked Elena with concern in his voice.“Yeah yeah,” She waved his concern off with a small smile. “I’m fine. Let’s just take the pictures,”Marco gave a nod and Elena didn’t miss his look of relief. He was trying so hard for everything to go well and she couldn’t understand why. Was it because of DaSilva?“And that’s a wrap,” The photographer, Antonio smiled at them The pictures are done. Let’s pick the ones I’ll process.Elena sighed in relief and smiled happily. Finally, an activity she could do with Marco.“Let’s choose the picture,” Elena smiled excitedly.“What do you think you know about PR?” Rosa stepped in with a conceding look. This is the Donatelli family. I will not have you disgrace the fa

    Elena looked across the terrace where Marco and DaSilva were still deep in conversation. The two of them were secluded from the entire family and seemed to be talking about something serious.She tried to pretend like it didn’t bother her. She failed.“Maybe try being more subtle?” Vicker, Marco’s cousin teased her with an amused smile.Elena’s cheeks pinkened and she dropped the book she had been pretending to read. “Am I that obvious?” He chuckled and gave Elena a nod. “Pretty much. But it’s alright. You’re marrying him in four days. It would be strange if you weren’t worried,”“But should I be?” Elena frowned. “Do I have a reason to be worried? Who exactly is she?”“I’m sure grandfather already told you,” Vicker replied with a shrug. “She’s Marco’s childhood best friend. I’ve always known her, how exactly they met is fuzzy, but they were always inseparable, we all thought for sure they would be getting married but…” Vicker trailed off.“But what?” Elena asked, her interest now piq

    Elena knew Marco was rich. I mean the man came from a long line of men who were diamond industry owners but she didn’t realise he was this rich.She had seen a reasonable amount of wealth in the time she had spent on earth yet her mouth was open in shock as the car pulled up by the side of the fountain and a man pulled open her car door.“Marco,” She whispered in shock. The entire driveway and the estate screamed luxury.The manor itself was breathtaking. Like a mini palace, she didn’t know what to focus her eyes on first. “The manor is gorgeous,” She gushed as she stepped out of the car.Marco chuckled lightly behind her. “Yeah, it is. I’ve gotten so used to this place, I always forget how shocking it is, to see it for the first time,”“Used to it?” Elena asked in bewilderment. “Are you joking?” She took off her sunglasses and stared wide-eyed at the entire expanse of the building.Would she ever get used to it? It amazed her to think of how Marco had grown up.Almost as though Elena

    Chelsea was mad. Or crazy. Elena couldn’t decide which one as she watched the woman’s shiny eyes.This wasn’t Chelsea Rodriguez, the intelligent arch enemy she’d had since childhood. This woman was something else, bordering on the edge of insanity.“What’s wrong with her?” Elena asked her secretary as she watched Chelsea respond to the judges’s few questions.“I’m not sure,” Kim sighed and shook her head. “At the first trial, I thought she was putting on an act but now, it’s obvious to anyone that she’s lost it. Maybe guilt from all her evil deeds or the pain of losing the child she longed for,”Elena’s fingers shook but she twisted them and kept them on her lap as the judge slammed the gavel to bring utter silence to the courtroom.“The accused has been found guilty…”The court went up in uproar as the spectators cheered loudly while Elena just sat in silence staring at Chelsea’s wheelchair.“Order!” The judge tried to get the court silent again as she hit the gavel.“...guilty of at

Her eyes were wet and as she looked at her friend’s reflection in the mirror, she could see Francesca’s eyes were also wet.“You look so beautiful, gosh,” Fancesca choked out as she got to her feet slowly.“She’s right,” Theresa smiled. “Hurry up and get married before you steal my woman,”The three of them laughed and Elena put a piece of her hair behind her ear.“I feel beautiful too. I think this is it. The dress, I’ll wear. It’s perfect,”Francesca gave a nod of agreement. “I love it too, but do you think Rosa will agree? I imagine she would want you to wear a custom made dress,”Elena’s brows wrinkled and before she could reply, her doctor and friend, Theresa spoke up.“It doesn’t matter if Rosa Donatelli doesn’t like the dress. She’s not the one getting married and she has to accept that. If she can’t then she’s free
