Chapter 1 - Leilani world crumbled

"Leilani Smith,Do you take Antonio Winthrop as your lawful wedded husband?"the officiating priest murmured to the would-be couple.

Antonio dressed in black suit stood opposite his about to be wife waiting for a response from her,Leilani took a glance at her fiancee with disguist,soon tears rolled down her cheek little by little and Antonio wondered why Leilani wants to spoil her beautiful gown for no reason with tears of JOY but he put on a smile to leave no suspicion.

Everyone was waiting for a response from Leila,Alexandra(her best friend) whispered into her ears "say yes Leila"

Silence filled the air for a long time and Antonio was getting furious or feeling a bit of guilt,"what's going on, what's keeping her"

Everybody expected a sound yes from Leila considering how she would always brag about her fiancee anytime and Everytime.How come it is taking her years to say it.

The priest repeated the statement again and still there was no response from the bride,all she did was pour out tears and starred at Antonio with so much disgust and hatred, Antonio started to get worried that he whispered in her ears to say yes but she just could not stop crying.

Leilani sister,Lucio kept quiet patiently waiting for the bride to say something although she was a bit nervous.After the long wait and silence,she broke the air and glanced at them and poured more tears.

"Leilani Smith, Do you take Antonio Winthrop as your lawful wedded husband?"the priest asked for the third time

"What are you waiting for Leila,say yes,he loves you" Alex shouted with so much joy

Her father stared at her and shook his head

All of a sudden,people began to say "say yes,say yes" and it was getting really loud,when she got so frustrated,she braced herself and forced out those words from her mouth as pictures of Antonio and Lucio played repeatedly in her head"NO"

The whole crowd gasped in surprise,a lot of people popped out their eyes and some girded their mouth with their hand, Antonio was shocked by her reply.Leila wiped the tears in her eyes as she let go of some airfrom within her,she pulled herself together and shouted with a very clear voice "no,I won't .....I won't get married to Antonio Winthrop"

Antonio heart pounded with anger"WHAT"

Leila didn't know what to do after spitting out those,her heart began to race,with so much shame,she took her heels and ran as fast as her legs could carry with her one hand covering her mouth and another hand raised her gown a bit high.

Antonio left the altar to catch up with her

Leila! He called out her name as he tried to stop her from going any further.

"What did you just say out there,stop it if it is a joke and let's continue,stop this Leila"he was trying to plead with her.

Leila freed herself from him and said wiping her tears

"No,I won't go there and say yes to please the people out there when my mind and heart says otherwise"

"What are you talking about Leila"

Then,the secret was leaked.....

He held her hand softly but she pulled her hand away and wiped her tears after staring at him with disgust,she loved him before but not anymore

"Well,I thought we love each other but it is clear to me now"Leila blotted out

"What's going on Lei,I don't unders...."Antonio was trying to coax her when Lucio jumped into the conversation

"What was that for,Leila"

Leila felt disgusted at the sight of her sister,she said in a tearful eyes

"You,I trusted you,I thought you were on my side but it turned out that you are no different from a green snake"

I don't understand,what are you talking about Leila"one part of Lucio told her Leila has found out and the other part told her she hasn't

"You had the nerve to cheat on me and it wasn't with someone else,it had to be my own sister,my sister,how shameless are you uhn and you come here and say we should get married,NO,NEVER,IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN"

Leila rushed out of the hall and left the two alone to fight with their conscience if they had any.Antonio felt so disappointed that he tappec his fore head in shame.

"You see I told you,if only you had ended things with her,none of this would have happened,now she knows and I hope you are happy"

Lucio said and left him,he felt so ashamed,he rough handled his hair in shame

Meanwhile,Alex has being worried sick about her bestie,her eyes scrolled the church after almost a the guest left,she found Lucio sitting crossed leg sipping from a glass "Where is Leila"

Lucio raised her head up and said "don't you have a phone,use it"

Alex hissed and walked out

On the other hand,Leila got into a bar and drunk herself only to wake up In a complete new world that opened a new chapter for her
