Postponed wedding
“Wedding? Oh yeah, you were supposed to get married in a week.” Sandro faked his concern about Richardson’s fiance, while shaking his head and sighing over his loss. The man could hardly keep his happiness contained knowing that Richie would never be able to find Elle in the right time. And hence by then Sandro would make her fall in love and then dump her on the streets. And the circumstances will be kept and moulded in such a way that Elle would be seen as a slut, who dared to seduce and played two cousin-cum-brothers for money and status. But in turn got rejected by both of them and then ended up on the streets like a dumped trash. Sandro tried to sound calm yet show his concern about his missing fiancee, however on the other hand Richie was terribly shocked by his ridiculous calmness. The victim man shouted at him while shoving the laptop towards Sandro, Richie was indeed worried about Elle and taken aback by the guts of the kidnapper who dared to abduct his future wife. “What!? Why are you reacting like a fool, Sandro?” Richie yelled at him while gazing at Sandro with a keen expression, it was beyond his understanding that why Sandro was calm and did not even consoled him. Sandro on the other hand turned his head towards Richie and raised his one eyebrow to reply his curiosity. “What? What do you mean by a fool, huh? I’m trying to think about this situation with a clear mind, okay?” His words hit Richie and made him guilty of the baseless suspicion he had upon Sandro. Richie shook his head and apologised to him, which made Sandro even more happy that his plan had been working effectively. Upon seeing his troublesome mind at that moment Sandro took the opportunity and threw his another card. “I told you that day, Richie. You were rushing through your wedding, such girls do NOT stick to one man. You might think of me as your enemy at the moment but,” Sandro intentionally paused for a moment and let the pessimistic thoughts crawl in Richie’s mind, so he could later on fuel them and make Riche suspect every single moment spend with Elle. “But you never heard me, I remember the day when you called me that day… Richie, you refused to believe me, but I’m still telling you this because I care for you… girls like your fiance, who pop up in your life out of nowhere are NOT the ones who stick around.” The man put an emphasis on the word ‘not’ to ensure that Richie would understand and focus on whatever pessimism he had been saying. Richardson on the other hand had nothing to believe, for one moment he started to believe in what he said. Nonetheless he had numerous such questions to ask Elle, which Richie began to inquire from Sandro. Yes, such a wrong move! “You are right, Sandro.” Richardson took a pause and then shook his head when he glanced straight into Sandro’ eyes with confused expressions, he did not want to admit the seemingly truth which was totally plausible. “Whenever I asked her about her family she simply said she was an orphan and ran away in her teenage, that’s why she doesn’t remember the name of the orphanage. But she always diverted the talk whenever I tried to inquire about her past.” Richie shot up from the sofa with his thoughts and concerns, he was giving in to Sandro’ manipulation easily. The man walked towards the window and stood there with his troubled brain. Riche was a tall man with broad shoulders, having brown hair and a styled beard combined with blue eyes… he was a living eye feast for women! The man was desired and loved by many but Richie lost his heart to Elle, whom he saw in a cafe and paid for her donuts. He normally did not pay for ladies in such circumstances, but upon seeing the woman rattling in her bag he decided to pay for her order. Richie bestowed his money and help to her just because he was behind Elle in the queue and wanted to get free earlier, it was the moment when she turned back and glared at him. They both shifted to a quarrel when Elle spotted the torn inner lining of her handbag which caused the wallet to go inside it. Hence she returned his money and took her donuts and dashed out of the cafe. In that moment Richie recalled all the scene and began to question whether her arrival was a coincidence or a planned meet up draped into a fateful day. Later on the very day Richardson bribed the cafe owner to give him the contact and possible details about Elle. Her confident attitude was what caused Richie to chase her and begin to find the woman who snagged his attention. Somehow he ended up being the only person Elle trusted the most but due to her marriage with Sandro she hid the fact from Richie. Elle intended to tell him about her past but it was the same day when Richardson introduced to her about his family and relatives, and upon seeing Sandro Petrakis in the pictures she dropped her decision. Back in the present Sandro and Richie were talking to each other, the first one feeding the latter man with his lies. And Richie was clearly falling for his trap, he turned towards Sandro with a saddened gaze. The particular response to Sandro manipulation made Richie question and doubt everything that happened between him and Elle. However Richie walked back to the sofa and reached for Sandro’ hand as he pleaded to him to give any solution to the fucked up situation. “Then tell me what to do? Tell me Sandro, what should I do to save my reputation, I certainly do not want to be in the spotlight with people making fun of me for getting cuckold.” Sandro was waiting for the particular statement from him, the man wanted to smirk visibly but could not do so. He had to ensure that his plan moved well and worked well due to his infested hatred within Richie. “Then postponed the wedding for now!”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
