"I am your daughter, why are you doing this to me?" she asked looking at her parents in disbelief.
She just couldn't believe her own eyes. Were they really her parents? She was being treated like this right in front of them, and they didn't even react?
Why are they silent? Why are they giving me this disgusting look?
Looking at her fiancé who was standing there totally unaffected, she asked, "Sehun, today is our wedding. Why are you all doing this to me?"
"Our marriage? " he laughed. "Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? Do you think I would marry you? "
To say Lalisa was shocked would be an understatement.. Her world was completely shattered. Tears fell from her eyes hearing his cruel words.
Why? If he didn't like her, then why did he ask her to be his girlfriend? If he didn't love her, then why was he in a relationship with her for over four years? If he didn't want her, then why did he propose her?
"Why did you do this with me? " she cried.
"I never loved you Lalisa. It was all an act " he said coldly.
Suddenly she heard a laugh, behind her. Turning her head, she saw Li Yeri and Meng Chaeyoung coming downstairs.
Li Yeri smiled as she walked towards Chen Sehun and hugged him, "Brother Sehun, tell her who do you love? "
On hearing Li Yeri's question, Chen Sehun smiled as he kissed her forehead, "Of course I love you, my soon to be wife. "
Lalisa was completely broken. She felt every part of her body going numb and she gave up struggling. She was in so much pain, that she just wanted to close her eyes and forget everything.
Glancing at her Li Yeri smiled victoriously and signaled the guard. Feeling pain in her arm, Lalisa looked at the guard who was injecting her with something.
Her head was spinning and her eyes felt heavy. They have already broken her, what more can they do to her? Looking at everyone, she smiled bitterly as the world around her went black.
**********
Opening her eyes, Lalisa scanned her surroundings. She was all alone, tied to chair in a dark cold place.
Remembering the events, tears fell from her eyes. Why? Why did her family betray her? A family is supposed to love and protect each other. Then why did they stab her in the back like that?
Lalisa is the eldest young miss of the Li family. She was exceptionally beautiful and also had very talented brains. From a very young age, Lalisa was told to keep her beauty and her identity hidden.
Like an obedient child, she listened to whatever her parents told her. She had two younger siblings Li Yeri her younger sister and Li Yedam her younger brother.
Her parents had bought her a different apartment to live in as she was told to stay away from the family. Nobody, knew about her as her parents only introduced Li Yeri and Li Yedam in society.
She loved and believed her parents so much that she never inquired about the reason. They loved her and that was enough for her. Being the eldest, she had many responsibilities and rules to follow. On the contrary, her younger siblings were pampered and spoiled the most.
Lalisa was very good at handling business so she helped her dad, behind the scenes to make Li Corporations one of the top five companies in the business world.
Since she was not interested in business, all the credit for her hard work was taken by her younger brother Li Yedam. She didn't care about it, and gladly let Yedam take the credit as he was her brother.
The Li family and the Chen family were old friends so, at one family dinner, Lalisa accidentally met Chen Sehun.
She fell in love with him at first sight but she never acted upon it. She maintained her distance from him, only admiring him from afar. Chen Sehum was a handsome young man. Also, he was the only heir of the Chen family.
He possessed a certain charm around the woman and it was inevitable that Lalisa fell for him. Lalisa was on cloud nine when she knew that he also felt the same. They grew closer and soon began dating each other.
From the very start, she wanted to be an actress as the acting was her passion. But it was rejected by her parents so she decided to be a fashion designer instead. She opened her own studio and became the famous mysterious designer, LS.
Her younger sister also wanted to pursue acting and her parents encouraged her. Lalisa felt happy for her sister and never objected to her parent's words. Listening to her sister and Chen Sehun, many times Lalisa would act as her substitute.
Fame never mattered to Lalisa. She was happy that even if she had to wear a mask of Li Yeri's face, she at least had the opportunity to fulfill her heart's wish. Because of her, Li Yeri is known as 'Goddess Li' today.
Similarly, she composed songs for her best friend Meng Chaeyoung. When Chen Sehun proposed her, that was the happiest day of her life.
But who knew the people whom she loved and cared about the most, the people for whom she sacrificed and did everything would be the ones to snatch away her everything.
Suddenly she heard a voice. Raising her head, she saw a TV which was broadcasting a live wedding.
Glaring at the couple on the TV, she clenched her fist. She heard the reporter speak, "Today I am happy to be a part of one of the most awaited wedding of the year. Guys.... you are right. Today our Goddess Li is going to get married to her childhood sweetheart Chen Sehun... "
