The Lost Bet 2 Who Is The Winner?
Elena’s POVWhen Elena woke up the next morning, her eyelids were heavy and swollen, because she had barely slept. Aslan’s face was all she could see. She had tried hard to drift into an unending unconsciousness but would it not be a betrayal to Aslan? Her dying without apologizing to him?She sighed and got up from the bed. She did her business and stayed in her room because she didn’t want to encounter Derek. After a while, a maid came with a tray. There were all sorts of breakfast items on it. Was she hungry?

Present-The Wedding DayAslan’s ears could listen to her screams and he smiled. He refused to leave the chhurch. And Derek’s men were beating him while Elena cried her eyes out. She was sobbing now.“Accept Elena, you love me.” Aslan spoke between his heavy breathing. A trail of blood was travelling from his forehead, passed his cheekbone, and almost stopped near his chin. His shoulder was also bleeding and the chaplain was perplexed watching such horror in front of his eyes.“I love you, Aslan. I love you. Please just go away. Don’t get hurt.” Elena cried. The man had a plank in his hand and was about to hit Aslan, but this time, he held the man’s hand and stood up. “As long as you love me, sunshine, I will die happily.”But Aslan didn’t see Faiz who joined his hands and hit Aslan behind his head. Aslan crumpled down on the ground and Elena’s screams filled the church.Derek was trying hard to control her, but she bit him and he left her with a hiss. She ran to Aslan and crouched dow
