Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

Ella huffed in satisfaction once she was certain that Alyssa was out of her way. She had watched as Alyssa got dragged into a car that drove away almost immediately. Lucas had taken her and this was the most exciting period of her life.

She quickly pulled Alyssa’s wedding gown into the room, discreetly looking around to be sure that no one caught sight of her game.

Once she was in Alyssa’s room, she applied some makeup on her face after which she slipped into the gown.

She picked up the veil and swiftly threw it over her head, concealing her face and hoping that they don’t discover her on time. She was going to get married to Liam and nothing was going to stop that.

“It’s the maid! I was sent to check on you”, a maid called out from the door, but Ella quickly dismissed her.

“I’m fine! Just leave” She said in a low voice, trying to disguise her voice to sound like that of Alyssa.

The maid didn’t suspect anything, because who would have thought that the bride wasn’t the one in her room?

The maid nodded her head in understanding and left the room.

Ella heaved a massive sigh of relief. She knew that it was going to be a long day, but she was ready to hide her disguise until she is proclaimed to be Liam’s wife and the new queen.

She couldn’t contain her excitement. The wedding gown looked so beautiful, even a lot more beautiful than the one she had dreamed of wearing on her wedding day.

“And I can’t wait to be addressed as the queen of Venice!” Ella danced around the room in excitement.

Her excitement was cut short by the sudden knock on the door. She made to tell the person to leave, but the door already opened before she could utter any word.

“The guests are waiting. It’s time for you to walk down the aisle”, the queen said with a wide smile that made Ella’s heart skip a beat.

She took in a deep breath and nodded her head. She had to reduce number of times she made utterances or else, they would discover her before her mission is achieved.

“This bouquet has been there right from time. It’s the tradition for every incoming queen to hold this in her hands while walking down the aisle”, the queen explained and again, Ella nodded her head in understanding.

She only hoped that the sermon would come to an end before she would start looking suspicious.

Tiffany walked into the room almost immediately and Ella’s heart skipped again.

“Are you feeling better now? It’s time”, Tiffany said as she patted her on the shoulder.

Ella flinched at her touch and that was greatly strange. Alyssa would never flinch when Tiffany touches her.

Tiffany made to talk about it, but she shoved it aside as being irrelevant. It was probably because of how tensed she was about the wedding.

“Do you feel better now?” Tiffany asked, staring at Ella who had her head lowered to the ground.

Ella nodded. She needed no one to tell her that the moment Tiffany hears her voice, that would be all.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do you remember what I told you about going into the crowd?” The queen asked and Ella’s heart dropped.

“You remember, don’t you? We just talked about it a moment ago…”, the queen said with a small smile.

Ella made to talk, but no words came out of her mouth. Her head was blank because they had told Alyssa, not her…

Tiffany stared at Alyssa again, wondering what was wrong with her. Alyssa was never this quiet, no matter how tensed and nervous she might be.

“It’s fine if you don’t remember. I would tell you. The tension coming from the crowd would get better with time. Once you enter and walk down the aisle, you wouldn’t even have an idea of when you become relaxed”, the queen said and chuckled.

Again, Ella nodded her head.

That was strange. Alyssa would have chuckled as well, or she would have muttered a “thank you”, to the queen who was only trying to make her feel better.

The queen exchanged glances with Tiffany who had a strange look on her face.

“It’s fine. It’s time for her to go. She would get relaxed before you know it”, the queen said and gestured for Ella to start walking out of the room.

Ella jerked up and nodded again, after which she took slow steps out of the room. Her walking steps were different from that of Alyssa, but she tried so hard to replicate how Alyssa would have walked on her wedding day.

Tiffany could sense many different things about her. She made to tell her to call off the wedding until she was ready, since the wedding was making her to act in a way different from the norm. However, she caught sight of how excited the queen was. She also recalled how Alyssa had patiently awaited for the big day, and so, she decided to keep mute and swallow back her words.

They got out of the room and that was where Ella got stuck.

“Why did you stop walking?” Tiffany asked and glared at the queen who was also surprised by her current action.

Ella had no idea of the road to take. There were two roads and she wasn’t so familiar with each of the routes. It was clear though that one of the roads led to the second garden where the wedding was currently taking place.

“It’s the road by the left. Have you forgotten?” Tiffany asked and Ella chuckled calmly. Still, she didn’t utter a word.

Tiffany concluded that her anxiety must have heightened because she was barely saying anymore words at this point.

Again, she made to tell Alyssa to stop if this was not the best time to take such an important decision. But then, she kicked against it. Alyssa had been so happy about everything, so there was no way that she wasn’t ready for her wedding. Tiffany just couldn’t place her hands on what had gone wrong.

Ella smiled the moment the stood at the entrance of the aisle. This was the moment she had been waiting for and it was even more beautiful that she had thought or imagined.

Many people had come to grace the wedding and that was the highlight of everything. She couldn’t believe that Alyssa would have been the person witnessing all of these as the bride.

“I would always be Ella! You can’t be happy, Alyssa! I always told you that”, she muttered inwardly as she took in deep breaths to calm her nerves.

She recalled the moments where Liam had pleaded with her to help him get back at Alyssa. She had accepted that immediately, because she was certain that they would eventually turn out to be partners in future.

She knew that it was only a pretense, but it was something more for her. All she saw was an awakening and the need to take the position of Alyssa in Liam’s life.

It was a difficult decision, especially because it appeared to be a lot more difficult than she thought. But then, just as always, she had her plans and her plans never failed her…

Ella was happy with herself, happy with how smart she was and happy for the next phase of her life.
