Burdened desires...
One year later..
It’s almost an year since that horrendous day of my life.
Today I’m sitting here, in this beautiful wedding gown. The gown that I wore while I was getting married to William was beautiful but it was a death trap for me. And right now even if I’m wearing a simple white long typical wedding gown..it is still the most beautiful gown I have ever seen cause this gown is Mark of my happiness not my torture..After a long fight, finally we have achieved our peace. Though the cost was heavy. I have lost my brother and mother to end this madness.
I miss my brother my twin , I wish he was here to celebrate this day with me.
My journey to here did taught me to value and celebrate each and every moment of your life cause nothing is forever.
My dad was busy looking after the arrangements..
After he was done he came back to me.
“ lizeh are you done by now? Cause we need to make a move. He is waiting and getting impatient to make you his wife.”
Dad said getting inside the room. His eyes were down on his mobile screen but once he looked up at me.
He stood at the door, like a statue , eyeing me with love from top to bottom..
“ ohh my dear.. You look so beautiful, I just Wish Danny and your mother were also here to watch you glowing with happiness..” My dad said.. Tears started pooling out from his eyes, walking towards me he embraced me in his loving hug.
“ I too wish that.. Cause I’m still not happy.. Not ready to have a life full of happiness after loosing my mom and brother.. I don’t deserve this happiness dad. Not at the cost of their lives..” I said sobbing..
“ No lizeh, don’t you ever say that again. You deserve every bit of it. Love!... And trust me your mom and brother always wanted you to be happy..”dad said and kissed my forehead.
“ Ehhmm! Am I disturbing something.. Sorry but your would be husband is getting impatient to see you.. So shall we go now..” Eric said entering the room.
Eric came while I was sobbing in my dad’s arm’s...
Eric has been a constant support this entire time.. He has been there for me like a friend and a brother.. It’s only because of him that I feel a little less lonely without Danny, my twin.
“ ohh.. No you didn’t disturbed anything. We were about to leave for the venue..let’s go lizeh..”dad said releasing me from his hug and offering me his arms .
Taking his arms I nodded and started walking towards the place where my new life was waiting for me..
With every step that I took forward I was leaving behind those horrible memories from the past.. I have already cried enough during this past year.. And now for my dad and my new found family. I have to learn to be happy..
We three kept walking till we reached the Hall. Eric entered first and then my dad started walking me down the aisle.. Last time when he did that he was devastated.. In tears..
Well he is in tears right now.. But this time I know that they are happy tears..
As I was walking down the aisle, I saw daisy sitting on one chair smiling at me.. I spotted grandma, she was more than happy.. And then in the centre of the stage I saw him.. Standing in his black tux, looking handsome as ever..
Edward.. My love....
Back that day when I almost murdered him.. I died every single second when I stabbed him.. Even it was for fake..
Yup...!fake.. I never killed him.. It was planned..
When William left the room that day. I was still in my thoughts thinking about every possibility to stop the madness.. That’s when I saw Edwards message that how Bella has created this whole mess by sending those pictures to William.
My mind wasn’t ready to deal with any more trauma.. Thinking what Edwards grandma told about William's love towards Edward. I decided to take the final shot.. The risk was high but I was ready to take it.. I came up with a plan of fake murder of Edward in front of William.. If he won’t be effected then I was definitely going to shoot William , I have had enough of him.
Immediately I messaged my plan to Edward.
At first he denied but as there wasn’t any alternative he agreed. He wasn’t sure, he never thought that William could ever love.. Well! I did thought the same until I saw the pain in William’s eyes.. When I stabbed Edward in front of him..
He literally collapsed on the ground after watching his only son bleeding to death.
That was the first time I saw tears in his eyes..
That was the first time I saw a human in him.
His words were filled with love for his son.. And that showed how much he regretted loosing Elena.. Cause after being ignored by his parents.. Elena was the first one to love him entirely and cause of his evil desires . He destroyed the only good thing he had.. He loved Edward as he was the only part left of Elena but he wanted to control him.. His urge to control made him vile and destructive.
And some of it was left even after watching his son die..
“ You killed him... You bloody bitch.. You killed my son.. My only reason to live.. Why the he I let you live.. Why the hell I fell for you. I should have killed you the same way I killed your mother and brother.. You’re just a bitch like your mother..” those were his last words.. Last words of his sanity.. Cause after that he lost his senses and started acting like a mad.
Once everything was out in open. Williams crime were out. He was arrested and send to a mental asylum.
Edwards grandma was absolutely right. That was William's breaking point.. His weakness. His son...
Finally William’s heinous crimes were out.. Vaughan, Eric Rita.. Everyone was free from his evil grip.. I got to know why Vaughan was working him.. Cause William had threatened Vaughan with his family..
So he was as bounded as we were. But now everyone was free even Bella’s father after knowing this side of William left his side ,and walked out of the villa taking his daughter with him.... Dad was heartbroken after learning the truth of mom’s devastating death that I kept hidden.. But he understood my plight and forgave me..
But the hardest task was for me to accept everything and move on.. I was not ready to live a life full of love and happiness after loosing the people I loved the most.
Edward on the other hand was devastated after knowing that William actually did loved him. Even if it was in his own insane way..
But after watching the destruction that William did.. It was easy for him to move on.. But not for me.. I was still burning in regrets..
Edward tried hard to make me see everything in a bright light.. Eric , dad even Vaughan tried to make me see things in a different way.. But my heart was so closed after being through so much.. It was not ready to open up for anyone.. I made my mind and had this thought that I don’t deserve happiness..
But Edward’s on and off constant effort made me realize that if not for myself than for them I need to live and live happily..
Daisy too was healthy now.. Yeah still on a wheelchair but was out of coma and paralysis.
Those past years were the hardest of my life. I lost, earned, loved ,hated. It seemed like I lived an entire life time in them..and right now standing in front of the man whom I love so much and in the company of people who have always loved me.. I want to live happily.. For the souls that left me too soon to see me happy.
“ God... Liz.. You look like you have walked out of my dreams..” Edward said nibbling on my ears..making me smile as bright as I can.. While taking my hands from my father and taking me to the centre of the stage..
The priest said the wedding vows .. And then after exchanging the rings.. We kissed each other as a man and a wife..
We finally made it together out of the hell .
Helping and loving each other...
And now we are ready to began our happily ever after.......
