Mr. President's Rebirth Bride

Episode 3-Cancel the wedding

/Kira’s POV/

I’m Kira Lopez, 28 years old…a special secret agent in NSA a secret associate of the CIA, rank SSS, I’m half African but both my parents grow up in the united state and my mom become a citizen after getting married to my dad, my dad was a soldier, even now after he retired…he’s still a commended general, my mom’s a lecturer, I have three other siblings, an older brother, a male and female twins as younger siblings. I left home for the military when I was just 17 because I admired my dad so much, he was my Hero, I have a lot of skills as an agent and that’s why I was selected to be a secret agent given special missions, because of my ferocity, I’m known internationally as Killer K, I’m not just good in assault and defense, I’m also a good spy, all this while, I followed my orders obediently, not questioning my superiors for once, even when asked to assassinate someone, we don’t question our orders, we just take them and execute them.

But, I messed up my last order and it got me killed, I was asked to retrieve one of the CIA spies staying in Brazil after he got his hands on a very important file that was said to contain a lot of information that could not only destroy a lot of people in power but could also create a national conflict, I was told they were going to put the file into good use, I did as told…but it still got me killed, and now, I’m stuck in the body of an annoying 26 years old Eleanor Walker, when few girls whom I learnt from the memories are Eleanor’s friends came in to help me get ready, Allen walked out of the room in anger, he had been waiting for me to wake up perhaps.

But the sudden appearance of familiar faces reminded me of something that had me grabbing my head in shock, I immediately glanced in the direction of the wine placed in the corner of the room, in Eleanor’s memory…that wine had a note sticking to it and on the note was, ‘Drink up, make sure you get him tonight’ Eleanor thinking the wine was from her best friend Kimberly Chu, an Asian girl she’d know since high school, dousing the drink before, Eleanor wanted to sleep with Allen so she could get pregnant, it was the only way she could think of that could make Allen soften up to her but she didn’t get to even have s*x with Allen, she collapsed right after getting him off his clothes.

The pain she had felt was registered in her memories, she had struggled for breath, she tried waking Allen up but it was no use since he was drugged, he was weak and helpless too, in one word…Eleanor also died last night.

“Kim” I raised my head sharply to meet the eyes of Eleanor’s best friend who was helping me arrange my wedding dress, in Eleanor’s memory, the two were close, they were just like sisters even though Eleanor was a total b***h, I mean a hidden b***h, she always wore an innocent look was a b***h underneath, Kim would still take her side, no matter what she does, from Eleanor’s memories I doubt she could have pulled it off, I mean she’s timid and gentle a total opposite of Eleanor, though her menacing appearance does grant her the sadist look.

“Elly, is something wrong?” Yeah, from Eleanor’s memories, almost all her friends called her Elly because Eleanor was too long, Eleanor was given to the girl after her mother passed while birthing her.

“No nothing, I suddenly felt thirsty, could you grab me that champagne, help me pour a glass” She did exactly as she was told, the wine was poisoned, and if truly she knew that she would have acted carelessly while pouring me the glass and for someone who poisoned it, she looks extremely calm.

“Didn’t you bring me this wine last night?” I asked and she chuckled.

“Yeah, you said you love it so I decided to get you one to cheer you up but I couldn’t give it to you yesterday because we were busy planning out the party, here” She gestured me to the glass which I received suspiciously. I pretended to have it in my mouth but quickly lowered the glass before it touches my lips.

“It tastes funny for some reason” I commented staring at the glass.

“Kim, don’t you think?” I gave her back the glass.

“Really, let me check” She suggested raising the flute to her mouth wanting to drink it, she could have if I didn’t stop her.

“It’s alright” I smiled climbing off the bed. Kimberly didn’t do it, she’s too weak-minded to have come up with something like that anyway, and also, everyone knows she gifted me the wine, if I had died…someone tried to kill me, then try to frame her, interesting.

“Girls” I called out, meeting the eyes of Eleanor's group of friends one after the other. She cherished Kimberly the most, followed by, Olivia, Harper, and Amelia, she doesn’t like Amelia too much because she found out she’s in love with Allen. Three blondes, and one brunette, Kimberly had dark hair which she wear in bangs.

"How was last night?" They all knew I had returned to Allen's mansion to seduce or they all knew Eleanor had returned to Allen's mansion, I should probably start referring to Eleanor as me now, this is so frustrating. I thought glancing at each of the girls at intervals. The one who wants me dead could be amongst the group of friends or it could be anyone else, even with Eleanor's memories I can't figure out who would want to kill her, outside the circle of her friends and family, there might be tons of people who want her dead but within...I can't think of anyone.

"Actually, I don't feel like getting married" I blurted and they all froze in their position. Kimberly was the first to frown and question me.

"That's very unlike you, did you eat something bad when you woke up or...did Allen disappoint you last night after you had s*x?" Kimberly queried.

"Kinda, that's why I'm thinking of canceling this marriage" Kimberly's eyes only widen, then she wore a suspicious look on her face.

"Girls, give us a minute...let me talk to Elly alone" From Eleanor's memories, Kimberly, is really smart, she's already a professor at her age, I'm guessing it's going to be hard to fool her, pretending to be Eleanor shouldn't be so hard.

"What's gotten into you?" Kimberly folded her hands staring at me while I just sink into the bed.

"Right now, you're supposed to be dressed...but instead you brought up canceling the wedding, let's go to your room first, we need to discuss it, we can't even let Allen get a whiff of this-

"I told him" Kimberly's jaw dropped.

"You did what!? Eleanor, are you sick?" Her suspicious look quickly dissolved, replaced by a worried look.

"I'm fine Kim, it's just...he doesn't want to marry me so what's the point last night, it was a disaster" I sighed flipping off the heavy covers. There were no slippers so I ended up returning to Eleanor's room, I mean my room barefooted, the girls were already there but Kimberly sent them to pick up my wedding dress which was left in Allen's room. She nagged and nagged on how I had made the past ten years of her life hell regarding my obsession with Allen, I mean I'm not Eleanor, why the hell should I get married to that dimwit.

I ended up giving in, I guess there's nothing I can do to stop it, when I tried to sneak out after having my bath, I saw a lot of people in the dining room, all of which I recognized from Eleanor's memories. Just like how I lost my mom when I was young, Allen's father also pass away when he was young. Do I not have any other choice than to get married to Allen? Almost everyone in Eleanor's life is aware of her obsession with Allen so, without a solid reason I can't cancel the wedding, and when my mind strayed to her father while thinking of a solution, then I recalled the b***h had gone so far to put a knife to her own throat threatening her father.

Damnit, there must be something...hold on a second, or maybe I could just cancel this marriage at the alter, I smirked finally concluding.

"Wow, you look amazing" Kim and the girls gasped after I was finally done dressing, wedding, it was something I never thought would happen to me because of the nature of my job, how glad could it be, if my real parents could see their daughter like this, I suddenly wanted to contact them, even if it's just hearing their voices.

"Kim, where's my phone," I asked while they continue to gush over my extravagant dress for the wedding, I could only imagine how much that spoilt brat spent on this wedding dress, the edges were f*****g laced with diamonds.

I was about to inputs my mom's digits when a knock sounded on the large twin doors.

"Young Madam, your dad, and your brother are here" Oh, Eleanor's dad and only sibling, I heaved a sigh and put down my phone.

"Girls, give me a minute," I asked the girls to excuse us, while I welcome Eleanor's father and brother, but why does her father seem too familiar? My eyes widen as realization struck me.
