Shine Extra Large

YOU!!

Archer's Pov

I stood there, with the diamond piercing through my palms as I clenched my fist even tighter. Eleanor was long gone. My knees slowly gave up and I dropped on the floor. My chest was hurting hard. She did go away, taking a huge part of me along with her.

COWARD?

I am one.

I couldn't hold my tears back. The moment I feared the most just happened to me. I did imagine this while scene before in my head, but forgot how to act after it. I just looked around to see empty room. I was soo fucking worried when she disappeared from our date, and now this. Why didn't I think about her eloping to this place!?

I went crazy searching for her there. Until Mataeo called me here. I placed my head on my palm.

This is all my fault!

I need to call Isabell and Zach now!

I dialled their numbers, but only could contact Isabelle. Zach must be a big idiot right now not picking up my phone. Isabelle was worried sick. She asked me about the possible places Eleanor could go.

Home!?
No she won't go there ...

To Vincenzo!?

No she must be dying in guilt, so it would be hard for her to face her uncle right now.

Oh no!

She must have gone to the Carnival!

Holy shit!

Eleanor's pov

I walked through the crowds of the carnival. It's almost time for it. I checked my watch once again. I know and I believe this person is the last one who could genuinely lend me a helping hand. I walked through the numerous people laughing , smiling and enjoying themselves. I wish I was in the same mood as this.

Suddenly people stopped moving and faced towards the right. I was confused. I followed everyone's gaze to see Mr. Kingstone on the stage. What is this for!?
That old fat cheater might be up to something. I gritted my teeth and gave him a look of disgust.

"Where are you!?" I texted.

"Meet me at the middle of the dance floor" he texted back. I didn't tell Mr. A about what happened. I can't tell him over the phone. I was a crying mess already. My hair is all falling out of the face. My mascara was all smudged from crying. Some people even stared at me weirdly. I don't have time for this. I need to do something.

"Good Evening to everyone present here- I Danelle Kingstone would like to make a huge announcement today-" heard him giving some speech. I couldn't be less bothered. I know Mr. Anonymous will help me.

I pushed through the crowd of people moving to the dance floor. It was right in the centre of the Carnival grounds. I was becoming breathless, I looked around to see people still smiling at something Mr. Kingston said.

I saw the lights on the floor. Finally I reached here.

"Where are you? I am at the dance floor" I texted. It didn't even take a second for him to reply. "Almost there". A small chuckle left my mouth. He must be stuck in the crowd as well.

I looked around to see not many people at the dance floor. Only a few kids and 2 couples. So it won't be hard to figure Mr. Anonymous out. My heart was beating fast from being nervous.

It's the day!

Finally I see him.

I see Mr. Anonymous.

" So my successor is a smart, talented and super brilliant child of mine. He is the one I know I can trust my blood swaet and tears with-" I scoffed at him, I was far enough from stage, but still I could see him smirking. "My son Archer Kingstone" there was a loud applaud by the people. The fireworks were all over the sky. Some even cheered.

I wish everyone knew how fake they were!!! I wish they knew how "The Kingstones" became "The Kingstones".

I turned my back, to see Zachary standing. More like searching for something.

Was he involved?

It was an important question. He was the nicest man I met. How can he!?

Can he?

I played dumb and went to him. " hey Zach" he looked up, to say hi, but stopped. He looked at me from head to toe. "Ella, what happened... You look a mess" he asked with concern on his face and his forehead frowning up. He looked all dressed up, maybe for his brother's coronation. I turned my head towards the stage to see Archer smiling with his father beside him. The cameras flashing at them and the applaud wasn't getting over anytime.

"Ella you alright?" Zach asked again, regaining my attention from the stage. I nodded my head. I took my phone out and texted "I m here". The moment I texted it, Zachary's phone beeped. My breath was caught in my throat. I gasped. Zachary's back was facing, he soon took out his phone, and turned back again to face me. He saw me with his eyes wide open.

"Eleanor you are her" he asked. He took out his phone and showed me a text with says  "I am here". The same Snapchat text I send to Mr. Anonymous. He was Mr. Anonymous.

Zachary!

"Ella-I can" I stopped him. How could the Kingstones control my life like this I can't believe it. "Zachary you were Mr. Anonymous the whole time! I can't believe this. First your brother played me, then your dad excepts me to be your brothers trophy wife and now you played being a good friend with me!" I was beyond shocked. My last hope of help is gone as well. I clenched my hair in frustration.

"Listen to me Ella- it's not what you think-"

"Then what is it Zachary! I can't believe it. You all played with me like a toy, just to take over my dad's company. Why didn't you just kill me instead of torturing me like this! You played the game of friendship, your brother played the game of love and your dad played me over the partnership. I am really impressed with you guys.! You are real players" I was crying. Tears were already swelled up in my eyes. I looked at the sky, thinking about my dad. The sky seems blurry.

"Ella listen to me, I really had no idea it was you-I swear" Zachary pleaded, holding onto my hands. I pulled my hands away. I can't stand it. "You better should have killed me to get what you want" I said and walked away. I walked out of the carnival, constantly wiping my tears with my sleeves. I heard my name being called, I heard 'Ella' . I looked back but everything was a complete blur. I couldn't see anything.

Sudden blackout was formed in front of my eyes and I fell unconscious on the grounds of the Carnival.

Your thoughts!?

Too much?
