Title: THE DARK RECORD OF THE POOR GIRL
****
Here's a chapter 1
"No! They can't catch me or I'll die!"
Emely's heart was pumped fast which made her breath feel heavy. His trembling body started to sweat. Looking back, a Jeep car that had been chasing him began to erode the distance while honking, which unfortunately even sounded like a death angel bell.
The situation forced Emely to press the gas pedal inside until the car he was driving quickly shot through the silence. He almost hit the sidewalk a few times. Visibility was also reduced due to heavy rain that flushed the Earth that night.
Bruk!
Emely's body staggered forward to almost hit the steering wheel due to a blow from behind. Luckily, he still has a good balance.
"Come, please hurry!"
A pair of Emely eyes glazed over. There was nothing in his mind right now, other than a way to escape Glen's pursuit. The man who just a few hours ago became her husband was no more than a con man. Even Emely had not had time to change her wedding dress and fled the hotel.
Less than an hour ago, Emely overheard Glen talking to someone on the phone who was planning a murder on him.
Emely Golden is the sole heir to a large corporation. Although only an adopted child, but his late parents bequeathed the entire fortune to him. This made some Golden families feel jealous, until the desire to get rid of Emely.
"What's wrong with the car?"
Emely was again overwhelmed by panic when she realized her car brakes were blong. He believes it was Glen, Shara and Aunt Lena who were his own family.
Passing a sharp turn, Emily again lost balance. A truck speeding from the front forced him to slam the steering wheel to the left. However, the crash of the car he was driving broke through a five-meter-high gorge with a river flow below.
The expensive luxury car must also be subject to the swift flow of the river.
Emily tried to open the door when water began to fill the inside of her car. Strange things happened again, because the car door seemed to be stuck. Emily is trapped and unable to save herself. The wedding dress had gotten wet and completely limited her space of movement.

Meanwhile a sly grin rises in the corner of Glen Wayne's lips, a handsome 32-year-old man who is Emely's husband. After seeing his wife's car dragged down by the torrent, he believes that Emely will not survive death. Moreover, the river is quite deep with ice-cold water.
"Emely must be dead this time. If it wasn't for choking on water, he would have died from the cold."
The rush of rain and the cold of the night made Glen choose to return to the car. Drenched, he pulled out a cell phone from the dashboard and contacted someone.
"We're safe, honey. Emely's car fell into the river. He's definitely not gonna make it. The river flow is very heavy and the car is dragged by the current" Glen said shortly after the call was connected.
"But no one knows that you're after him, right?"
"Of course not, Shara! I just don't know if I'm after him, because I'm using another car."
I heard a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone. "That's great, honey. It could be dangerous if anyone knew. Now we're going to make it look like Emely actually died in an accident."

The Golden family mansion
For several days, the accident that befell Emily became a warm talk in the community. Various speculations and skewed gossip circulated widely.
The search was done thoroughly. But the effort that consumed a lot of funds did not produce results. Only Emely's car was found at the bottom of the river. While Emely himself until now unknown whereabouts. Only small pieces of Emely's wedding dress were found.
It makes the entire Golden family believe that Emely has been killed devoured by predators. And today the Golden family will make an official announcement that Emely will be declared dead in the crash, although his body has not yet been found.
Early in the morning until noon the luxurious residence was crowded by guests and also news seekers. Emely who was the sole heir of the Golden family naturally made everyone curious.
"Mother, journalists and police have arrived. Pretend to cry!" shara. The long-haired beauty was Emely's half-brother. He was the son of Lena Golden, the second wife of Emely's father.
Gabriel Golden has no children. She raised Emely as a child and later married Lena Golden, a one-child widow.
"Alright, Shara. I hope this drama ends soon. Mother was getting tired of pretending to be sad every day," the woman replied.
"I'm getting bored too, Mom. I was even forced to close the comments column on social media because too many people were asking about Emely" Shara said.
"Then where's Glen? What's he doing?" tanyakanya.
"He was talking to the police. It looks like Emely's body has been eaten by a predator."
"Oh, I hope it's true!" The middle-aged woman immediately got up from her seat and exited the room. Upon arriving at the living room, several journalists and police officers were already there. Glen was also seen talking to a police officer.
Shara and her mother immediately headed for a chair that had been provided beforehand. Several journalists stormed in. Even when the situation was silent, everyone's attention was only on them.
"It's been ten days since Emely disappeared. But he wasn't found either." The woman sobbed in front of everyone. A flash of light from the reporters' cameras swept over their bodies.
Shara rubbed her mother's back. While Glen Emely just sat on one of the chairs with a moody face. All three put on the best sad face they ever had. It was as if losing Emely was a deep sorrow for their family.
Glen took over the microphone. "After a search, the team found only cars and small pieces of Emely's clothing. According to the police, Emely is most likely dead. Therefore we from the family decided to make an official announcement that Emily Golden has been ...."
"Wait!" The familiar voice that suddenly appeared made everyone turn their heads.
Glen was instantly fixated on the spot, his body suddenly felt limp. The microphone in his hand just fell. The man did not even believe in his own eyesight.
Emely, who disappeared ten days ago, was standing in the doorway. His appearance looked very chaotic. His face was pale and there were some scars on his body.
"Emely?" Glen glaring. His voice sounded trembling.
And it didn't seem like just Glen was at a loss for words. Shara and her mother were equally surprised. How could Emely still be alive, while they were sure that Emely could not have survived.
"You want to make a death ceremony for the living?"
Emily's view then examines the entire room with her hands clenched perfectly. The spacious living room was already decorated to resemble a room for a funeral ceremony with a large frame and an empty coffin in the corner.
"Emely? Are you still alive?" Shara.
"Who said I died in that accident?"
