Longing for love

Part 1: EL AND ALEC

Prologue

"Michelle Ford has fled the wedding". The gathering was in deep turmoil. The guests started gossiping, the bride's family became more anxious with every passing second and in front of them stood the furious Dwane Farehya, the groom. He was fuming with rage, he shouted "FIND HER" his tone was unnervingly intimidating yet cold, there was an eerie silence after that, everyone was scared to their bones by just looking at him. The bride's father Daniel could only nod.

Daniel Ford and Alec Wilson, Dwane's friend, tried all their resources to locate Michelle but to no avail. Daniel feebly requested Dwane to accept Michelle's sister Isobelle as his bride, to which Dwane grew more furious and said "There is no way on earth I will accept an illegitimate substitute as my bride".

Dwane forced Daniel to legally abandon her as a Ford for the sake of his family. Despite it, Dwane didn't plan to let Michelle go. "I'll find her and strangle her to death with my own bare hands. That is the price she has to pay for her audacity to go against Dwane Farehya ''

Hours later only the three friends Dwane, Alec and Ricky remained in the wedding hall. According to his beloved friend, Dwane's wishes Alec used all his resources to find Michelle. Dwane sat sipping his whiskey, growing more and more furious with the incident. Ricky sat quietly with them. "We'll find her soon" "Find her alive, she'll meet her death with my own hands" said Dwane. "Alec, please help me with the drinks." Saying this Ricky cornered Alec near the bar. Seeing that they weren't in Dwane's earshot Ricky said "I know Dwane is furious now so I didn't say anything. But the bride left out of her own will, Al, You should ask him to get over it and move on. You are not doing the right thing by helping him find her" " I don't care about right and wrong, Ricky. Dwane is my brother and I'll help him in whichever way I can, no matter what". "It's about somebody's life, it's our little Mish" Alec ignored him and joined Dwane.

The friends talked for a while, later, Dwane raised his glass and said "let's drink to Michelle Ford's Corpse" "to Michelle Ford's Corpse" his friends repeated.

At Ford's Mansion, Michelle arrived right after the family had returned. Michelle's father informed her about abandoning her and asked her to leave the city the first thing in the morning. Michelle felt grief-stricken when she heard her father's words but she knew she was at fault so she quietly obeyed.

The next day Isobelle, her stepsister handed over all necessary documents for Michelle's cosmetic surgery, along with other IDs, certificates and passport all with a fake name. No other member of the Ford family met Michelle that morning. While leaving, Isobelle hugged Michelle and said "You did the right thing by not getting married to Dwane, but now it's better that you don't remain here in Barnesville. Take care Sis".

As soon as Michelle left, Isobelle made a call "I need you to keep an eye on Michelle's whereabouts and update me frequently" saying this Isobelle cut the call with a satisfied smile on her face. At the airport, Michelle was able to easily board the plane using her fake passport. When the flight took off she saw her passport and read out her new name. The moment she landed she saw the news which read "The eminent Ford family from Barnesville has disowned their daughter Michelle Ford".
