Ela's POV,I was finding difficult to sleep. Shawn's depressed face came appearing in front of me, every time I closed my eyes.Please don't let your ego dominate your love, Shawn. I miss you. My pillows were damped as I hugged it.My mind was clogged, and tears kept flooding out.It was morning when I heard two distant voices. Am I kidnapped again?Finding myself in the room, I relaxed. Phew! Ironically, I'm at the kidnapper's place myself.I yawned, rotating my neck and something caught my eyes.My wedding dress!!Woa.It was hung to a hanging rack. I smiled hugging it.They must have bought it.Next to it lied my belongings.My smile widened. Today is gonna be a great day, Ela!I freshened up quickly having a shower."No way. That isn't a winning point!""I know!"Coming downstairs, I saw Sam and Kylen engulfed in watching a soccer game."They need co-ordination to win, which they absolutely lack. It's the other team's day.", I said crossing my arms."You don't know that.", Kylen said fisting his palms.Not a couple of seconds, and my prediction turned out to be true. The opponents won.The boys turned to gawk at me."What? That was ridiculously easy to make out.", I remarked.Sam followed me to the kitchen.I thought of the question that was pricking me since yesterday. And this was the best chance to ask Sam."Why Kylen wanted his wedding to crash? Was it a forced marriage?" ,I asked.Sam raised his brows, "Um-. May be."There was uneasiness in his voice."So, girls too got brains in watching sports.",he diverted easily with a laugh."It doesn't require 'brains'. A little bit of common sense over favoritism works."To my surprise the breakfast was ready."Jeez, when did you guys come here? This is soooo sweet.""An hour ago. We couldn't wait to get you out of this mess. Especially me.", Sam looked at me before letting his head down.He was in remorse.Before I could reply, Mr. Intruder/Arrogant popped up."Are you hitting on her already Samy? You know she belongs to someone else.", Kylen said chewing a green apple."What? I'm not flirting with her. It's you with your charming-egoistic behavior, in desperate of getting her attention.", Sam reverted."Oh. Was it me who was desperate of helping her?""You would rather leave her alone to clean our mess?""See! You like her, Sam!""Oh. Come on. We know who's lying and liking.""You have been chirpy since the day you have met her.""That's enough!", I banged the table, "Get the work done, I'll leave you both to bicker over it."Grabbing the seat, I poured orange juice from the jar while both of them continued to glare at each other.Taking a slice of toast, I looked for the peanut butter.Reaching it with my hand, I saw Kylen's hands on it.He crossed his brows, "I prepared the breakfast. I get to eat first.""All yours, Majesty.", I sighed."It's okay. Ladies first.", Kylen passed the jar across the table."No. That's fine. I don't want to be yelled by you early in the morning.", I sent it back to him."Ms.Whomsoever stop being obstinate. I told you to have it.""Don't you get bored by always squabbling?", I shot my gaze at him.Sam was finding it difficult to control his laugh."You know what, I don't want to have my breakfast now. Thanks!", Kylen stormed out."What is wrong with him?!", I shook my head in disquiet."He will be fine.", Sam replied as we continued having breakfast."You won't go to cheer him up?""He hates that."After the breakfast,"I'll get my car.", Sam went off.Locking the house, I waited with Kylen on the porch.He stood there in his all-black attire."Do you hate me?!""You don't need to know.", was his reply.Guiding the directions to Shawn's office, I occupied the back seat of car.Kylen who was busy in enjoying the radio, suddenly faced me, "How can someone be so stupid to believe what's on social media over the person he loves?"Yeah. He was asking about Shawn."I don't know.", I murmured."I did talk to him, he refused to believe me.", I said aloud."There's no love without trust. Probably, the foundation was feeble.", Kylen shrunk his shoulders."You don't get to decide that.", Sam spoke, "A single misunderstanding can shake off the entire bond."Seemed like they had their own stories to say that.When we reached his office, we were made to wait for Shawn as he was in a meeting.Sam was busy in playing with his hair in front of a female employee."Like I said, he loves to flirt. He won't admit that though.", Kylen said, standing next to me.I let out a chuckle, crossing my arms, "I don't think he flirts with me.""We shall see.""Shawn!", I saw him exiting the room. I ran to his cabin.He threw his files on his desk, "I'm busy. I can't talk.""You have to! You have to listen to me if you ever loved me."He sat on his chair with a smirk, "To confess that you are not a cheater.""She is not.", Kylen and Sam said in chorus."Now who are these jokers? Quite a good day.""Shawn, stop acting out.", my voice stern."Fine.", he looked at me, "I have five minutes.""We want to talk to you.", Sam spoke, "I'm Sam and this is my friend Kylen.""I'm behind this chaos.", Kylen came ahead, "There is no fault of her's. I was supposed to trap another bride. My team was unaware of the cancellation from the previous couple."They explained everything to Shawn."Your fiancé is innocent.", Kylen looked at me.His sight back on Shawn, "Now, get back to your normal lives, buddy."Shawn stood up, passing a glare, "You're the one who kissed her!""Yes. It was me. I'm the culprit here. Put me behind the bars, I don't care. But you gotta believe her." ,Kylen's voice sharp."Charge both of us.", Sam joined, "We hijacked your wedding. Not her. She's in pain since yesterday. "I smiled seeing them responsible for what they did.There was a brief pause."Alright.""I need to talk with my fiancé alone.", Shawn announced.Hearing 'my fiancé' made my heart flutter.Sam gave a thumbs up before leaving with Kylen.
