Ella's POVI had found a perfect dress suitable for my wedding. I cannot help but smile when I think that soon I will leave from my parent's house permanently and shift to my husband's house. He was all what I was thinking about right now. Since we were so close to getting married, it will not be a good idea seeing him. I decided to call him instead. It was only a day before our grand day. And I was so happy.Felix – What is it.He says. I wonder why he was sad like that. Wasn't he happy about our wedding or. I don't understand. This is the first time he answered so rudely to me. What if he had changed his mind about me. I could not handle it.Me – babe, is something wrong. Why are you answering me in such a manner?Felix – I am sorry, babe. I have a lot on my mind right now, that is why I am not thinking straight.Me – there is no problem, hun. I just wanted to ask you if you are ready for our big day.Felix – yes, I am totally ready. I just can't wait for the day. I want to come ove
Felix's POVThe day is here. I take hours getting ready because I don't feel like going there at all. I know Ella must have reached the venue by now, and she is waiting for me. All this is burden to me, I don't want this at all.“Hey, man, what are you still doing over here. We must proceed to the venue now. Your wife to be must be waiting for you by now.” My best man says. He had been waiting for me for ages now. “Yes, let's go. I think it's about time” I say and we leave.Just like I had said it, Ella was there already. I could see her car parked from a distance. She was just waiting for me, so our wedding could start. She was so eager to marry me, while I was not. I think I cant do it. I just doubt know why I suggested this whole wedding thing. I think it would have been better if I had continued with our past plan of having a grand wedding because I know with the rate I was saving there would have never been a weeding.I slowly enter the venue while walking on a red carpet. The p
Ella's POV“Felix please, I cannot live without you. Don't leave me alone, today is our wedding day, please, my darling.” I say as I see Felix leaving me. I could not understand why he had done this to me. Furthermore, I was so in love with him, then how come he loves another woman? I just cannot stand it. “Why, Felix. Why do this to me during our wedding day? I am not good enough for you?” I say, crying my eyes out. I did not care any more about the people who had come to the wedding. All of them were shocked about Felix reaction. Seeing him walk out on me on our wedding day was the worst form of betrayal. I never expected this from him.I wonder how I can live without him. I was so used to the fact that he was always with me and that no one could ever separate us, but I guess I was wrong. Then why did he suggest for us to get married if he was never interested at all? Why did he do this to me?“Felix, why," I continue crying. I was now lying on the floor. I have taken off my shoes
Ella's POVI have to get outside the house before anyone sees me. They cannot see me being so miserable. I don't need their pity at all because all I want is Felix by my side right now. I want someone to pinch me so hard so that I can wake up from this nightmare. Because I believe that all this is a dream. Felix could never do this to me. Our house is so big, so I am certain that no one will see me leave. I decide to write a note first, I know my mother will be devastated to find out that I left the house without informing her. So, I have to do this so that they will not struggle to find me if I don't return on time.I tiptoe as I leave my room. I hide and I leave through the back door. Luckily, there was no one there, and I hide myself through the fence until I reach the main gate. Everyone had the keys gate so it's so easy for me to get out, and I run through the opposite direction.I feel so lost and I don't know where I am going. I feel so terrible and I cannot take this anymore.
Felix POVFinally I find a cab and I immediately direct her to Sarah's house. I feel so terrible inside. But I am happy that I did not make a terrible decision of marrying Ella. All in all, I could not help but feel bad for her, she did not deserve this at all. I am such a bad person. How could I hurt a girl that felt nothing for me but pure love? All she ever did was love me unconditionally, but I ended betraying her so badly.I know she will never forgive me, but I know she will come to understand why I did all this to her. And maybe she will thank me for it. But right now, I know she must be devastated. However, there is nothing I can do for her. I know with time she will be fine. She will learn to survive without me. There is no doubt about that.“Here we are, sir.” The tax man interrupts me and I pay him as I come out of the car.“Thank you.” I say to him. Here I am, in front of her house. I just want to go inside and hug and kiss her everywhere. Her love is so strong that I c
Stephen Mark's POV (Ella's dad)“How dare he, why did Felix do this to my lovely daughter.”? I yell at myself. I cannot take it that my daughter is so heartbroken right now. All thanks to that useless guy.All this time, my instincts about him have been telling me that he is fake and that his intentions were not pure. And this turned out to be true. I wish I had never given him a chance at all, just like I had wanted. He was never good enough for my precious daughter. Why did I do this? I ruined my daughters' life by accepting such a horrible man. I just wish I can turn back time to make amends, but I was already too late because the damage has already been done and there is nothing I can do about it. But, one thing is for sure, that I was going to teach that he-goat a lesson he will never forget. First, I have to be there for my little girl. I don't want her to feel alone in this difficult time. I could not face her back at the wedding venue because of how bad I was feeling. I coul
Stephen Mark's POV“Where else should we look,” I ask Susan. She was in tears right now and her eyes were blood-red. We had searched everywhere for her, and we could not find her anywhere. I don't know what she was thinking right now, and I get shivers thinking that something bad has happened to her. I cannot allow it. How could I leave her alone in a tough situation like this one? She was my princess and I had vowed to be there for her always, but I guess I have failed her and I failed her terribly.“I don't know, Steve. I don't know where our daughter is and it's killing me. I cannot take it anymore. I will die if something bad has happened to her.” She says.I curse Felix, my family is going through all this because of him. First he terribly hurt my daughter and then know my wife and I are hurting as well. I will surely teach him a lesson he won't ever forget.“Let's go to the police then, let's explain our situation to them, maybe they will decide to help us look for her.” I sugge
Ella's POV“What happened to me, my head is aching so terribly.” I wake up. I find myself in this strange room. My head feels like I have carried several kilograms of stones. I feel so weak and tired, and I just could not remember what happened to me. All I can remember was when I was at the bridge looking at the waters.“Where am I, hello someone please.” I shout. I am lying on the bed and I have worn this strange blue gown. The room is colored blue, and the bedsheets and blankets are also blue. There is one sofa, a television set and a remote on it. I am all alone in this room and the door is locked. “ Can someone please come to me."? I continue shouting. Why cannot I seem to remember what happened to me? This is so strange. Something like this has never occurred to me before. “What if I am kidnapped, what I will do if that is true.”? I wonder. But no, if I was kidnapped the kidnapper will obviously tie my hands and legs, so I would not escape. This is just something else. “How ar
Ella's POV.After five months.Five months now after that bad day of our lives. We were happy again. The incident was already forgotten from our minds. It was time to move on from the past. We had a lot to focus on for the future.My mother had recovered completely. She was now using both her legs without any problem. She was so happy with her current condition. Things between her and dad were fine now. They went into being the loving couple they once were, and I was so proud of them. At last, my mom was happy with dad. They were now planning to renew their vows.“I just want a small wedding.” Mom said once and my dad was planning to go as per her wish.* * * * * * * * My daughter, Laura. Had completely recovered from the shock of that day. She had now resumed school, and she was doing so well in her studies. I was so proud of her. She was a strong girl, and I was so blessed to have her as my daughter. Luca and I were also together. Now, we saw each other all the time. I was so happy
Ella's POVSeeing my daughter in that situation made me feel so weak. I asked myself so many questions. Why was my daughter passing through so much? It wasn't fair to her. Right now, I am embracing my daughter so tightly. She was crying really hard. I just wanted to calm her down. She witnessed another murder in front of her when the police shot Sarah. They police were now taking Sarah's dead body to the morgue. My dad and mom were just there, staring with disbelief in their eyes. In such a short time, the whole party was ruined. Luca was there too, just holding my hand. His support made me feel safe and loved. “Let's go and sit there, love. You have been standing for a long time now. Your feet must be tired already. Laura baby, let me carry you please.” Luca says after the police leave with Sarah's body.“Yes baby. Let's go. I am already exhausted.” I say, and he carries Laura and takes us to where mom and dad were.“Mom, dad. Why is this always happening.” I say as I embrace my p
Sarah's POV.After leaving Clara's home. I decide to just stay on the streets. I looked miserable, by the way. So if I go to the club, no man will look at me. I did not look attractive at all. My body curves were all gone, and all that was due to prison food. Since I hated the food there, my beautiful body was gone. I looked really emaciated. The streets were so cold, especially during the nights. In these two days I have slept here, I slept hungry. There was no food and people refused to give me any money. I hated my life so much. I just wish I had not escaped prison. I thought life would be easy after escaping, but it was more tough than in prison.Today, when I wake up, I see a commotion with the people in the streets. It's like they were going somewhere important. I am curious to know where they are going, and I decide to ask them.“There is a party today and some rich family. They are going to cook a lot of food, and we will be given some leftovers after the party.” One of them
Ella's POV.Everything was ready. Starting with the food, drinks, decorations. Our house was beautifully decorated to celebrate my parent's reunion. I was so happy today. All I ever wanted was to see my parents together always. At last, my parent's happiness was back. I was so happy, and I could not hide the joy anymore. I climb upstairs to help my mom get dressed. It was still early. People has not yet started to arrive. I know in a short while, people will start coming here to celebrate our happiness with us.“Mom, can I come in?” I knock on her door.“Yes, dear, please come in. I need your help with this dress. I cannot wear it on my own.” My mom says. Clearly she was happy to see me in her room. Her leg was still bandaged.“How are you feeling today, mom. I mean, it's your big day. Finally, you will announce your reunion with dad. It's just a special day." I ask her.“I feel so much alive, baby. Words cannot express how happy I feel. At long last, your dad came back to me. I had
Sarah's POV.“Where do you want me to drop you?” The man asks. I had already started dozing off in his beautiful car. I was so tired from walking, and I was also hungry. I did not even have money, so I can't go to the hotel. I know they will refuse to accommodate me. “Just drop me here, please.” I say to him and he stops the car.“Are you sure you can continue from here? You look weak and tired.” The man says.“Yes. I can continue. Thank you so much. I appreciate your generosity.” I say as I open the car door and come out of it. The man speeds up his car and drives off. I am left stranded, not knowing where to go. With the way I was feeling, I needed somewhere to rest. I felt like I might pass out anytime. “Clara. I know she will not refuse me. I will go to her house and beg her to let me stay at her house just for a few days." I say to myself. Clara was the only one whom I knew in this town. She was my best friend before I ruined it all. But I know she still loves me a lot. So I w
Sarah's POV.I wake up feeling a little better. But I was so hungry. I have not taken anything since yesterday. My stomach was rumbling so much. If I don't find anything to eat, I will definitely starve to death.My arm was feeling a bit better now. It wasn't painful like yesterday. I slowly get up, and I decide to check up the house. Maybe I will be lucky enough to find something to fill my stomach with. I manage to find an old fridge. I decide to open it and check it out. I find only two cans of soda. It's like the person who was living here had decided to vacate the place. Perhaps she got tired of staying in a place like this. It was so boring. There was no electricity and also no water. I don't know where she found water to use.“I am going to starve for sure if I continue staying here” I say as I take the two cans of soda. It was time to leave from here. I will do it now. I know the police are looking for me. And if I continue to stay here. They will find me easily. I find some
Ella's POV.I get back home and I find my family asleep. They looked so peaceful together. I felt so happy seeing them together. It has been long since my family slept together like this. Ever since my dad and mom separated, mom has always been so dull and unhappy. But now I could see a glow on her face. She looked so beautiful, and I smile just by looking at her. She deserved to be happy forever. That is what I wanted most in this life. I notice they had left the television on. It's obvious they fell asleep while watching the movie. I decide to switch it off. Before switching it off. There is a news break. I decide to check what was that important in the middle of the night. I almost get a heart attack when I see the news that was being shown on the television.“The prison bus had an accident? And that Sarah escaped. How is that even possible?" I try to ask myself. It felt so strange. I know she will come to revenge for calling the police men on her. And I know the first house she

So right now, I was driving to his place.It is seven in the evening. My relationship with Luca has not been the best. I mean we have gone through a lot together and despite that he still on my side. He loves me so much, and I love him so much too. I know in my heart that he is meant for me and that there is nothing that is going to separate us. Not now or ever.I had left Laura under dad's care. Today, mom was feeling a little better, but her leg was still in pain. So dad had decided to take her downstairs. I left them there enjoying their movie.

I was so happy when mom decided to forgive dad. At last, my family is happy again.After about a few minutes of driving, I reach Luca's house. Jus
Sarah's POV.Prison life was making me run mad. And what came to my mind was how to escape from this horrible place. Everyone feared the thought of running away from prison. But right now, that was what I wanted. I know I had promised myself that I was going to be a good girl and spend my twenty years here. But the situation was becoming unbearable. I was losing it. I mean, there was no point in pretending that I liked it here.I decide that one of these days when I get a good chance, I will just escape. The only thing I had to do was find a good opportunity to do so. Since I could not trust anybody, I decide to make it a secret. * * * * * * * * * * * * Just like always, I wake up, take my bath and I head for breakfast. Since it was the day to work in the fields, I get inside the prison vehicles, and they start driving towards the farm. “Hey just hold on tightly, the bus has lost control.
