Ghost Stories - The Crying Veil
Act 2
Unrequited love
gets even...
The wedding was only a month away and she felt
like the luckiest woman alive! Russell had insisted that she
move in with him and place her home on the market, as it wasn't
exactly feasible to run two households. Yes, everything
was perfect....
Russell sat crouched
in his office, sunken in an expensive leather chair while he spoke
on the phone to Ellen. How he loved Ellen - sweet, beautiful,
but financially encumbered Ellen. It was difficult trying to explain
his 'situation' to her.
"Ellen, no - I don't love
this woman. I love you!" He lowered his voice,
attempting once again to keep his tone down. It wouldn't do
for Anna to overhear.
"Don't you see? Without
some fast cash, I'm all but bankrupt. Do you want that for us, Ellen?
Of course you don't! I want to be able to give you so many things,
and by marrying Anna for just a short while, we'll have all that
we could want. She's very wealthy, Ellen....extremely wealthy,"
and silently he tagged on, 'and extremely ugly'.
The thought of having to romance
her on the wedding night continually plagued his thoughts, but the
fear of losing all he had was even more distasteful. Besides, he'd
be divorced before he knew it.
For now, Ellen wasn't happy;
in fact she had began screaming over the wires, demanding him to
rethink his plan and form another. However, Russell knew no other
way out. One day, he'd been on the top of the world; next
thing he knew, madcow had hit the states and he was belly up.
