Elisha walked down the aisle as the flash of the camera kept stuttering. The inside of the church was beautiful because of the dome-shaped roof made with fine glass. The wedding is in the Vintage theme, so everybody looks like they were in the year 1980s.

Like Elisha, the guest was also surprised after they saw her. They did not believe that Jane's cousin's bride was beautiful and gorgeous. They think that it is the reason why the groom was keeping his soon to be wife as a secret.

While Elisha was walking slowly, the handsome groom in front of the altar was looking at her. Elisha did not recognize the man because she thought that this is the first time meeting him and what worst is, she is about to marry him, a total stranger.

She wanted to stop walking, turn around, and run away. How could this possibly happen?

Elisha thought that she already escaped from marrying Mr. Wrost but she didn't expect that this kind of thing would occur. She did not even know if Jane knew about this.

Did Jane also know about this? Elisha wondered.

"Hello, Elisha" The man's cold voice sends a shiver to her body. She almost jolted in surprise when she stopped in front of him and did not notice his presence.

The man offered his hand while Elisha stared at his hand. He has big and manly hands. Elisha did not know that she kept on complimenting the man in front of him. The man stared at her too, looking at her beautiful long lashes and pink lips. The man hid his smile when Elisha finally reached his hand.

"W-who are you? Why did that man bring me here?" Elisha asked the man in front of him and they were both looking at Kristof at the back who was only smiling at them.

The man did not answer her questions instead, he continued walking beside her in front of the priest then the unexpected wedding of Elisha happened in a blink of an eye.

"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!?! WHERE IS ELISHA!?" Elisha's father roared in anger when the guard that was assigned to look over Elisha announced that Elisha was nowhere to be found. It is already the start of the wedding and they need Elisha to bring her to Mr. Wrost or else everything he planned for the family's company will be ruined.

Mr. Houston greeted his teeth in anger and looked at his wife. He saw his wife massaging her head because of the stress she received from Elisha.

"Dad! What are we going to do? If Mr. Wrost knew about this, he will probably make us pay for the damage or worst break down our company" Elaine said worriedly while biting her teeth because of nervousness.

Mr. Houston clenched his fist and thought of something, but he only ended up thinking that it was probably the fault of his wife and daughter, so he faced them angrily.

"Both of you, this is also your fault. If you two only took care of her before her wedding maybe he would not run away!" Mr. Houston shouted.

The two women felt surprised because of the accusation of Mr. Houston but Matilda retaliated to defend herself and her daughter.

"Don't you dare blame us! This is your fault. you are the root of this! You are to blame for this! if you did not hit on our helper, we would not have a problem" Matilda shouted angrily while comforting their daughter who started crying because of fear from her father.

Mr. Houston heaved a sigh and turned around to calm himself. He needs to do something. He needs to find his useless daughter and marry her to Mr. Wrost or else he is going to lose a huge opportunity and compensate Mr. Wrost.

"D-dad... maybe her friend Jane knew where Elisha is" Elaine said.

Mr. Houston turned around and looked at Elaine. He suddenly remembered that Elisha has a friend in her school. She even invited her at today's wedding.

Mr. Houston grabs his cellphone inside his pocket and calls his assistant who was taking care of their guest at the church.

"Is Elisha's friend Jane there?" Mr. Houston asked.

The assistant immediately found Jane who was waiting together with the other guest. She was smiling like she did not know what had happened to Elisha. Jane met gazes with the assistant and immediately smiled at him.

"Mr. Houston, Jane is here waiting for the bride," the assistant said.

He looked frustrated because of Elisha. Jane attended the wedding, and Jane did not know that Elisha ran away from her wedding.

"Observe Jane and report me immediately if she acts suspicious" Mr. Houston said then turned off the call.

"How are we going to find Elisha?" Matilda asked.

"I need to report this to Leon," Mr. Houston said. When he was about to leave, the door of the private lounge suddenly opened and a handsome young man wearing a black tuxedo appeared in front of them.

He looks like a young rich man of a wealthy family. He started giving a cold vibe when his eyes scanned the whole room while the Houston family got surprised from his sudden appearance. The man did not find the person he was looking for so his eyes questioned Mr. Houston.

"Young man, what are you looking for?" Mr. Houston, who did not know the man in front asked him while Elaine and Matilda were staring at the man.

Elaine, who was staring at the man, started to fix herself in front of her pocket mirror. She never saw such a beautiful man in her life. She suddenly felt that she needed to do something for the man to notice her.

"E-excuse me... are you looking for something" Elaine asked as she walked towards the man and gave him a hint of seduction.

The man sneered and looked at her with disgust. He did not answer her question and looked coldly at Mr. Houston.

"Where is she?" He asked.

"W-who?" Mr. Houston asked.

"What do you mean who? Where is she? My bride Elisha!" The man said.

From that very moment, the Houston family discovered who he is.
