ELOWEN

I didn't even ask where "here" was because I was already looking for my keys.

"What?!" I shot up on my feet, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"Ryan?" I repeated, glancing at Celeste through the corner of my eyes.

"What's going on? Is something wrong with Ryan?" Celeste asked, concern thick and evident in the tone of her voice as she strolled in my direction.

"I'm sorry, maybe you're mistaken, it's probably not my Ry–"

"Ryan Sylvarn, isn't it?" The man reconfirmed and I could feel the

  • After My Groom Betrayed Me, I Took His Best Man   CHAPTER 190

    ELOWEN"We are gathered here today to witness the beautiful union of Ryan Sylvarn and Elowen Lenshaw, a match both believed was made in heaven, one whose connection we all can agree was a spark way before ignition..." The words of the priest trailed as I lifted my eyes to Ryan's through the veil over my face, my eyes holding his in a lovestruck gaze, my lips threatening to betray the intensity of the gaze with a smile.It was finally here, a day long over due had finally come.One that had only been as an imagination to me, the only difference was that the dream starred a different groom, one that was not my destined half nor my significant other."I now pronounce you man and wife!" The little crowd of friends and family erupted in cheers, my hand instinctively reaching for Ryan's arm, locking him in place as we walked through the flowers descending from the sky.The reception hall was filled with the scent of lilies and laughter as I scanned my eyes over everything and everyone in t

  • After My Groom Betrayed Me, I Took His Best Man   CHAPTER 189

    ELOWEN"Has he been found?" I asked, pacing around the room, my head spinning from the events from the last past days."No ma'am." The police officer replied, clearing his throat slightly."Where could he be?" Ryan asked, slamming a hand down on the desk angrily."We have tried locating him for the past few weeks, his phone has been switched off, his house was confiscated, his company was completely brought down and no trace has been seen of him ever since." He explained, passing me a stack of documents.I paced back and forth in the small office of the commissioner, the sound of my heels clicking against the floor echoing like a clock counting down the seconds of my sanity. "A man doesn't just vanish into thin air when the entire city is looking for him!" The officer didn't flinch, he just sighed and leaned back in his chair, gesturing to the scattered stationary on his desk. He reached out and passed me a stack of documents that were clipped together, and I took them with shaking

    OWEN"I'm coming!" I dragged my form off the ground, my legs feeling like lead, unable to effectively move them from the dinning room to the front door."Who is it?" I asked through the door, looking through the peep hole but there was no one behind it."What the fuck?" I cussed, walking back to the dinning room when I heard the ring again.I paused, turning around almost immediately. "Who the hell is that?!" I yelled, hauling the glass cup in my hand at the direction of the door."Mr Hill?!" Liam's voice came from behind the door, to my surprise."Liam?" "What are you doing here?" I called out to him as I headed for the door.I pulled the door open and grabbed Liam by the front of his shirt, dragging him inside with a strength I didn't know I still had, the paranoia was starting to eat me alive. I looked sideways into the street to make sure no one was following him, then I slammed the door shut and engaged every lock with a series of panic filled clicks. Liam stood in the middle

    ELOWEN"Do you want her body cremated as well?" The doctor gestured for Lilith's water lodged body in a body suit."Mrs Hill had wanted an immediate cremation for Mrs. Elora as well." I paused, "How much was left to clear the bill for her hospital bills?" Ryan asked, putting an arm around me, his fingers slowly pulling me into him."This is the bill accumulated." He pulled out a piece of paper, handing it to Ryan."Can I wire it immediately?" He asked, letting go of me to collect the piece of paper from the doctor."Sure, come with me." The doctor said, turning to leave, gesturing for his office."Do you want to come along?" He asked, raising his hands to his shoulders. I nodded slightly, flashing him a toothless smile."I'm fine." I sniffed, wiping my face with my palm."I want him in jail, I want him gone completely." I said, my voice laced with bitterness and anger.Owen has broken the final straw, he had taken a lot from me, I wasn't going to let him get away with it, not with Li

    ELOWEN"Li–Lilith?" I read aloud, my hand trembling, my fingers weakening as the paper slipped through them, flattening on the ground."What was in it?" Celeste rushed after me.I felt Ryan's hands wrap around my shoulders, his warmth encompassing me.It should have felt good but surprisingly, I felt empty, incomplete, unable to comprehend how I felt, the emptiness, the guilt I felt within me.I couldn't stop staring at the ink.I felt like the name was burning a hole in my mind, felt so lightheaded that the white walls of the hospital began to spin around me in a blur."What was in it? El, talk to me!" Celeste rushed towards me and didn't wait for an answer, she just reached down and grabbed the paper almost immediately, her eyes darting across the lines with a look of pure shock. I couldn't stand up anymore. I staggered to the nearest piece of furniture, falling back on a plastic chair for support and buried my face in my hands. I felt Ryan's hands wrap around my shoulders and he

    ELOWEN"Excuse me?" I jumped off the counter, my heart in my throat as I moved closer to the door with a glass of water in my hand."Who is it?" I asked, my heart racing, thumping against my ribs."A female body was found at the dock by a retiring fisherman a few days ago, and we were only able to find a trace leading to you this morning," the voice continued, then it went silent for a bit as if the man on the other end was giving me space to breathe, but there was no air left in my lungs."Ma'am? Are you still there?" he called out softly, but I couldn't answer.I was staring out the window at the dark trees, my hands trembling so hard that the phone was shaking against my ear."El, what's wrong?" Ryan asked, his voice full of a concern as he moved across the kitchen immediately.He placed his hands on my shoulders and pulled me back from my state of absence, trying to look into my eyes, but my mind was already drifting away to the thought of who it could be. Who would have left me
