Chapter 28: Revelation

Ch-28
Revelation
Eleanor stood rooted in her spot after watching the video, played on the big LED. She could see her world crumbling down into pieces. She could feel Cedric's eyes on her. Jacob Boris was Eleanor's, first love. She always thought Jacob was the one who saved her, but now the reality hit her hard. It hurt her. She bore the pain of her almost Bankruptcy, her heartbreak with Jacob, and her best friend Jessica's betrayal. But this lie which Jacob said to her, broke her down to the core. She was unable to overcome the feeling of abandonment by the whole world. What did she do to deserve this? Her heart was bleeding with pain and blood. She felt suffocating in that place. Her legs wobbled, she couldn't hold her footing. When she staggered from her place, Cedric came forward and held her in time. Their eyes met with each other, they gazed into each other's eyes. The time stopped at that moment.
Eleanor could see love, worry, anxiety, and his care for her in his eyes. But she wondered why he would love her so much when she hurt him like that. What did she do to get his love? Why was he waiting for her, even after knowing she was in love with someone else and even after knowing so many days?
Cedric felt anxious after showing this thing. He knew it was cruel for him to do this thing at this moment after all she was broken. This thing would break her, but he has no choice but to do it. He needs to get her out of the illusion and show her the reality. He wanted to reveal things behind the curtains but after what they did to her they don't deserve any pity. So, he revealed it to them by pulling a curtain like a movie.
"Do you want to know who saved you?" he asked, helping her to stand properly.
Eleanor's eyes glimmered with hope when she heard his words. She chased the wrong person all this while. Her tears watered, at least now she wanted to thank that person. Maybe love... she may not be able to love anyone in her life again after this. Her eyes filled with tears, as she gazed at Cedric. She wondered why she would meet him in her worst times. Cedric bent forward and kissed her eyes and patted her back. "It's fine. He didn't cherish you when you were with him. Don't cry for him. You have something great to watch further!" Cedric said as placed a kiss on her cheeks. Eleanor didn't notice the onlooker's expressions. The crowd never thought that Cedric would be this gentle with Eleanor. Many women who attended the banquet felt envious of her. Mainly... a pair of eyes filled with hatred. Those pairs of eyes belonged to non-other than our special bitch...*cough* JESSICA COLE.
"Hubby, See, they were shaming us. This is not true. You have to trust me. That bitch Eleanor is playing this game. You have to get justice for me. Moreover, they didn't reveal the face of the person on the other side. And you know, I planned to act in movies after giving birth. Don't believe it," Jessica begged Jacob.

She was hella scared when she saw the video was playing. She never expected that a lowly actress would plot against her. Jessica wondered how in the hell she spilled the beans to her. They were the secrets she decided to carry to her grave but she never thought they would be stripped in front of everyone nakedly showing her true colors.
She started begging Jacob from the moment the video started playing. Jacob realized she was staged by Eleanor. He was so angry that he didn't notice that he was dragging Jessica with him to confront Eleanor. The thing which shocked him was his friend kissing that bitch. She didn't allow him to touch him when they were dating! But she allowed him to kiss her in public and shamed them like this. She even ruined their wedding. She deserved his slap. He walked towards her and tugged her forcefully, shocking Eleanor and Cedric. Even the crowd didn't expect their move. He raised his hand to give a hard slap to her, Eleanor closed her eyes feeling trapped as she didn't have enough time to dodge it. A loud sound of flesh being slapped reverberated in the hall. There was complete silence in the hall. Eleanor who closed her eyes didn't feel the pain on her cheek but she heard the slap sound. She opened her eyes and saw Cedric took the slap for her.
Cedric's eyes blazed with anger and hatred. He gritted his teeth and kicked him on his stomach raising his feet. Jacob, who didn't expect the kick flew a meter away, slicing the crowd into two unequal halves.
"DRAG HIM HERE!" he yelled. Soon, people in black clothes emerged from the shadows and dragged Jacob from the same spot where he sliced the crowd.
"I am your friend," Jacob said.
"haha..." Cedric chuckled coldly, making him flinch in fear. A shiver ran in his spine as he gazed at Cedric.
"You are dead from the time, you took the credit of saving my woman and started dating her without even an ounce of guilt," Cedric said as he smiled coldly. His eyes turned into crescents as he spoke. The crowd felt the temperature turned colder than before. The most scared one was... Jessica. She felt like she saw a beast in him. She gulped unconsciously remembering the fact that she was the reason for Eleanor's misery.
But Jessica didn't understand one thing that was.... why does he need to deal with these kinds of things here, in the public? Why?
