Day 7 Her Wedding

When Leo finally arrived the wedding place, it was nothing like he expected.

No guests, no bride, the "wedding" had been ended before it started. The whole place was surrounded by police cars and fire trucks. He could even see the smoke coming out somewhere in the resort.

"Excuse me officer, I'm one of the guest of the wedding, what's happening?" Leo went to one of the police officers.

"Oh, there will be no wedding. The groom died and everyone else was killed in the fire hazard." The officer looked at him and said.

"What? What do you mean 'everyone'?" Leo asked.

"Well, uh...we found the groom's body in the bathroom of the hotel and the other bodies burned in the villa where the two families stayed. We found a ring from one of the bodies, and we believed that it's the bride. "The officer explained.

For a second, Leo couldn't hear anything but his own breath. It's too much for him to process. What happened to Emma? Did she die in the fire? It's that her?

The countless questions and confusion had nearly driven Leo crazy. He even couldn't remember how he got home. In all these complicated emotions, the most overwhelming feeling was the sadness. Leo was so beaten down that he couldn't even stay sober. He laid on the couch in the living room holding the half bottle of vodka that Emma didn't finished, barely got up to check the message sent by his sister about the investigation of the headline news of Emma's family.

Emma's fiancé Karl was found dead in the bathroom of the hotel club. The cause of death was overdose. Though, Karl had a history of drug use. It didn't clear the doubt of his death. And that's why Emma's stepbrother Eddie was arrested later when the police found the flash drive in Karl's pocket. They found the video of Eddie drugged Karl's sister and had sex with her from the drive.

The other 3 people died in the fire with the bodies were badly damaged, were considered to be the bride and her stepmother and stepsister.

It was such a sad ending, but it looked more like revenge than a tragedy. And there was one person who hadn't got his karma yet. It's that scumbag father of Emma.

If this was the revenge planned by Emma, then she might wish someone could finish it for her. Leo got up with this thought and sat in the living room quietly. No emotion was showing on his face but his eyes became dark and ruthless.

Leo never knew why Emma had attracted him so much, till that moment, he realized that maybe deep inside, they were the same kind of people. She was not that depressed and he was not that optimistic.
