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 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
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
Reborn for Revenge Last ChapterThe hall was packed full of the business world’s elite. 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. She would hold him. She would be there for him, but most importantly, she would t
‘Brrring!’ Elena Windsor’s doorbell rang.“I’m coming!” She yelled as she raced downstairs to the door.She hoped it would be her husband, David.Maybe he had decided to come back and spend the day with her.Elena opened the door happily and froze as the smile on her face dropped at the sight of her sister, Evangeline.“Um ouch!” Evangeline chuckled as she pushed past Elena and entered the house.“You can’t just contain your excitement to see me,” she drawled sarcastically.“You know it’s not like that,” Elena replied with an apologetic smile as she shut the door and followed her sister into the living room.“I’ve just been bored and hoped David would come back to spend some time with me."Evangeline scoffed and turned to Elena with an irritated look on her face.“Isn’t this depressing? How do you live with yourself knowing you traded 90 percent of your life’s work just to sit at home? Bored,” Evangeline shook her head“Evangeline,” Elena called in warning as annoyance pricked her skin
Chapter 2A scream tore from Elena’s throat as she saw Davod and Chelsea having sex on her bed.Elena’s phone fell to the ground with a crash as David pulled away from Chelsea and hurriedly covered himself with the sheets.“Elena, we can talk about this,” He raised his hands and spoke in a patronizing tone. “Hello?” Elena could hear the 911 attendant’s voice callling out on her phone as she staggered back and the baseball bat dropped from her hands.“Hi Lena, it’s been awhile,” Chelsea smiled provocatively and winked.Elena’s breaths began to come in short spurts as the room spun around her.“Elena, calm down,” She vaguely heard David call out to her as Chelsea chuckled, but before she could process anything, the room went black.******* “Mrs Windsor?” Elena’s eyes fluttered open as she observed everything around her.A doctor was staring down at her with pity in his eyes. Where was David? “W wter,” Elena croaked as she gently pushed herself to a sitting position.A nurse lifted a g
Chapter 3Elena winced as she pushed herself to her feet and staggered to shut the front door.Slowly, she made her way to her bedroom upstairs. She had a good idea about what was happening but needed to see the evidence with her own eyes to believe it.Earlier last year, when her relationship had begun to sour, Elena had noticed that David’s hand-written correspondence had grown more frequent, but she deluded herself into thinking that everything was fine.Now, Elena went straight for the shoebox she had noticed him messing around with a few times. She sobbed bitterly as she uncovered the shoebox and confirmed her worst fears. David and Chelsea had been in constant communication for two years.Elena sat on the floor of her closet, surrounded by David’s letters, as she picked up her phone and called her sister."Hey, what’s up?" Evangeline’s cheery voice came from the end of the line as she picked up the phone.Elena took a deep breath and shut her eyes. "I’m pregnant,""Wait, what? Ba
Chapter 4She barely noticed the other driver swerving out of the way before her car went careening into a pole. Her car came to a halt with a loud thud, and Elena hissed in pain as her head banged against the steering wheel.Everything went black for a few seconds and Elena came around to the sound of a man’s voice."Are you okay, ma'am?" Elena vaguely heard the man call for the paramedics to arrive at the scene of the accident.Elena blinked in confusion at the man as the ringing noise in her head began to quiet down. "Yeah," she groaned in pain. "I'm okay. Please just help me out," she replied as she tried to unhook her seatbelt."Okay, here, let me just-" the man agreed, as he opened the car door and attempted to release her jammed seatbelt."I'm sorry, I think it's jammed," the man frowned as he tried repeatedly to unlock her seatbelt. The clicking noise made Elena's head ring, so she stopped the man's hand with hers."Thank you, Mr...?" Elena inquired."Parker. I'm Mr. Parker. I
