Hey I wanted to update soon as, I really liked what I was writing and quite a few of you liked it so I updated :)

Enjoy!

Nothing has changed in the last five years, it is all the same. Every detail of this place is still the same. But my uncle doesn't work here anymore, my uncle died two years ago. I wasn't allowed to attend the funeral; it was stated in his will. He must have hated me that much.

"Kori!" I turn and see Rachel running to me, when she reaches me she pulls me into a hug "Oh I'm so happy you're here, I was so worried you wouldn't come. "

"I would never miss my best friend's wedding, congratulations."

"Thank you!" Rachel said letting go of me "I love your dress!"

"Thank you, I'll lend it to you sometime."

"No it's too bright and flowery for me; I love the heels as well. You always dress so remarkably." (Link in profile)

"That's so sweet of you to say."

"Oh and did you hear?" she questioned.

"What?"

"Richard is coming!"

"What!"

"When he heard that you were attending he somehow managed to make time to attend. He probably changed his plans so that he could see the most popular actress!"

"Oh don't be silly I'm not."

"Of course you are! I'm so proud of you."

I can't believe Richard is here, Rachel told me he wasn't! What should I do? Should I leave? No I can't, I need to speak to Xavier. For Rachel's happiness.

"It's been a while Kori" Rachel's mum hasn't changed either; she is as beautiful as ever and still has the same attitude towards me. I guess I shouldn't expect anything less. "I heard that you are a successful actress now. Although I don't watch such silly programs so I wasn't aware of it."

"You won't be able to get away with saying such things in front of her fans aunt" And there he was, leaning his body against the door frame mocking me.

"Hello Richard." I said with a smile against my face.

"It's nice to see you again Kori, I thought you were too busy on set to show up."

Relax, start acting. "You too. I thought you weren't coming because of work."

"I have to check on some of the catering for the wedding" his aunt says as she leaves the room.

"So you decided to come" he continues.

"Of course, she is my best friend after all Richard."

"And she is my cousin. It's an important day for her, I wanted to make sure there wouldn't be any intruders showing up at the wedding" He takes his chance to back me up to the wall and come close to my face "Isn't that right Kori?"

"Are you threatening me Richard?" I say acting my way through this situation, staying in control. I will not become weak.

"Of course not, I am just making a point, we wouldn't want anything to ruin the wedding would we?" He said coming ever so closer.

"No of course not" I said smiling.

Does he think I'm here to stop the wedding? I just want to tell Rachel the truth. I don't want to ruin anything; I want to save her from life of unhappiness. Yet his gaze is full of hatred, like ice piercing through my heart. Yet I can't look away.

"Kori!" When Rachel's voice is heard he backs away, like nothing happened "Kori there you are, come on I want to show you my dress!" She takes my hand and leads me away from his gaze. But at the same time I want to go back.

"Wow your dress is so beautiful, and the veil goes perfectly with it." (Link in profile)

"I know, but you've worn so many."

"Only on my show" I said as we laugh together.

"Rachel!"

"Oh that's my mum it's probably about the invitations" Rachel said as she turned and leaved.

I was left alone to admire such a wonderful dress, how pure. White and absolutely stunning it was. I've always wanted to be an actress, but I've always wanted something else. To wear a dress like this, to walk down the aisle and there would stand the man I've wanted to marry all my life. I wonder if I will ever get to wear a dress like this. Probably not, since the man I love is... It doesn't matter, and it never will because I know he will never love me back. Ever.

"Hello Cutie."

I turn in shock to see Xavier standing there "Xavier!"

"I need to talk to you" Coming closer to me he took my chin into his hand and made me look at him "It's about that little problem. Has it been taken care of?"

"Yes" I say in repulse, it makes me feel dirty about what I did. Why did I ever do it?

"I told you it was nothing serious."

"That's a horrible thing to say."

He chuckles and pushes my chin away aggressively "What are you going to do? I'm getting married remember." He takes his time to walk to the door "Not a word Kori, if you do it won't be pretty for you."

I want to stop the wedding for Rachel's sake; Xavier is in a relationship with my roommate Kitten. She is an actress in Southern Beauties with me, a friend. We bumped in Xavier while we were out and I introduced him to her. And despite my warning, Kitten started seeing him. I need to tell Rachel, but she is so happy. What am I going to do?

"I can't tell her" I say to myself "It will break her heart."

"Just as I thought" Oh no! God no please don't be him. But in spite of my begging Richard was standing there, looking at me in loathing and disgust. "You were seeing Xavier behind all our backs!"

"Richard-"

"Xavier has been acting strange recently so I looked into it, and it turns out he's been visiting your room." He started coming closer "When I asked him about it he wouldn't say who he was seeing. He did admit, though. He was cheating on Rachel. He swore he would never cheat again."

"He-"

"I can't believe you were the one seeing Xavier" he chuckled mockingly "I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You were always looking to be with Xavier."

"No I wasn't!" I shouted, I had had enough with the false accusations.

He reached out and grabbed my wrist "Then why did you come here spite my warning?"

"Richard let go."

"I know what you're trying to do" Squeezing much tighter than before.

"What?"

"You are trying to steal Xavier away from Rachel!"

"That's not true!" I yell.

"Really?"

"Yes, I'm-" I stop myself. If Richard finds out the truth, he won't let them get married and Rachel will be... No I can't. I have to keep this hidden from him.

"How did you do it?" he asked.

"Do what?"

"Seduce him, how?" Then he thinks "I know how" he comes closer to my face "You used your charm as your weapon..." He let go of my wrist to lightly touch my lips "...When you whisper with those lips, men will fall down on their knees. That why I-" Then he stops himself. I could see his cold gaze warming, why was that?

"You what?"

Backing away he continues "What I mean to say is that you are Annabelle. You mess with men and make them fall for you. I can see the type of person you have become, just by watching your show."

How can he say that? I am nothing like my character.

"Kori!" Rachel says running in crying "You have to help me I'm in big trouble!" Running into my arms she sobs hysterically.

"Rachel what's wrong?"

"There aren't enough seats for tomorrow's party!"

"How many seats do you need Rachel?" Richard interjects.

"Just two more."

"That's fine. Myself and Kori won't come."

"What?!" Rachel and I scream.

"Which guests are you going to make eat dinner without seats then Rachel?"

"Well..."

"Don't worry. I'll take Kori out to dinner."

"Huh?" I ask in shock.

"I guess there is no other way" Rachel admits.

"So there you have it. Let's meet at the bar downstairs after the toast.

I sigh "Okay."

Now I really want to run away.
