Chapter One

With a loud fearful scream that pierced through the dark night, the woman sat on the bed sweating and panting. The sweat trickled down her face to her neck and she began to shiver even though the window in her bedroom was closed and she was wearing a white nightgown with long sleeves. Her shoulder length black hair covered the sides of her face. She placed her right hand on her fast beating heart to calm herself down while closing her black eyes.

As she calmed down, she heard a whimper and get eyes shut open immediately in panic but she calmed herself down when she realized that it was her large canine creature that was trying to comfort her in her own way by licking her free hand which was placed by her side. The woman smiled and moved her hand to pet the creature on it's head, she ruffled the creatures head and said, "Worry not lilly, life will soon be fair to us."

The creature whimpered again and the woman leaned against the pillows stacked together and sighed. She remembered what happened to her five years ago. She had always been in love with Gabriel Thompson, Gabe for short had broken up with her on the altar where they were about to be joined in holy matrimony together for life, she smiled bitterly.

Flashback begins

"If any person can show just cause why this couple cannot be lawfully joined together in matrimony, let them speak now or forever hold their peace."

Everyone in the wedding venue looked happily at the wedding couple, they seemed not to have any objections or so that was what she thought. Not untill her fiance Gabe took the microphone from the priest and said he wanted to say something.

"I've always thought that I could lie to myself to marry someone that I do not love but I was wrong. I've always been in love with another woman and I want to spend the rest of my life with her but I didn't want to betray you since we have been together for five years."

Everyone in the venue was confused even the bride was confused. The bride took some few steps to the intended man she was to marry.

"Gabe? Is everything okay?"

But Gabe ignored her and said to the crowd.

" I have learnt of a devastating secret of my intended bride to be and so because of this I can't go on with this marriage."

"Gabe..."

Gabriel matched up to her and squeezed her arm painfully and he whispered into her ear hatefully

"Maya told me about your dark secret Elianore Quinlan. Do not make a scene or else I will announce it to the whole world."

Elianore Quinlan watched the man that she thought shared the same love that she did. She watched him announce to the whole world that she Elianore Quinlan was a joke to him and that he was going to marry who she thought was her best friend Maya Ramos because according to Gabriel Thompson "She delivered me from the clutches of a witch."

In her very before, they wedded, kissed and announced to the world that they were expecting their first child together. They didn't even care about her, at that moment she Elianore Quinlan was viewed as a mannequin.

Flashback ends.

Elianore Quinlan opened her eyes and looked at her lily. She only had two friends now. Her canine creature-lily and her nanny- Emily. Emily never trusted Gabe or Maya and always warned her but she refused to believe that her loving boyfriend and her perfect best friend could wrong her.
