Episode # 12
Felix sits in a large armchair, leaning back, his eyes distant.
Daisy is sitting on the couch, with Felicia on her lap, absorbed in her tablet, tapping the screen.
Mark stands by the window, gazing out thoughtfully.
Mark (ML's bestie)
*looking up*
So, why would she ask you to marry Adeline?
Daisy( ML's bestie/ The manger)
*rolls her eyes*
She's delusional. I think she's mentally disturbed from everything that's happened to her.
Daisy( ML's bestie/ The manger)
*shrugs*
It's all a mess.
Mark (ML's bestie)
*nods slowly*
Yeahs, I think she's right. But...how do you even find Adeline? We don't even know her.
Daisy( ML's bestie/ The manger)
*coldly*
We? Who's we?
Daisy( ML's bestie/ The manger)
I know Adeline. You know, before she went off the rails.
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
*rubbing his temple, looking slightly irritated*
I don't follow these beauty contest things. I don't know her, and frankly, I don't care.
Mark (ML's bestie)
Are you willing to marry her, though?
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
Not out of love, If that's what you're asking. I have to.
Daisy( ML's bestie/ The manger)
*cutting in, excited*
Well, I have an idea. There's this girl who works the restaurant. She looks just like Adeline. I think...
Mark (ML's bestie)
*Interrupts*
Oh, wow. Geniuses over here. Marrying a lookalike.
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
*his voice cold and sharp*
Let's be clear. I'm not marrying some random woman because she looks like someone else. That's not the point here.
Daisy( ML's bestie/ The manger)
*defensively*
What? It could work.
Mark (ML's bestie)
Yes, Felix. How can we find Adeline, when the world can't even find her.
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
*after a beat, voice softer but still distant*
Fine. You've got an idea. Go ahead. I can't believe I'm getting dragged into some circus over a lookalike.
Daisy( ML's bestie/ The manger)
We're trying to help.
Mark (ML's bestie)
Yeah, we're trying to help.
A large mannequin stands center stage of it's shop, wearing a beautiful elaborate wedding dress.
Adele stood by outside, looking at the mannequin with awe.
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*softly to herself*
Wow,this dress... it's like something out of a dream.
A moment later, Daisy comes from behind her.
Daisy( ML's bestie/ The manger)
*yawning*
Hey, found anything?
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*still staring at the mannequin*
Look at this. Isn't beautiful? It's perfect for you.
Daisy( ML's bestie/ The manger)
*walking over to her, intrigued*
Really? Do you think so?
Adeline/Adele (FL)
Yeah. It's... enchanting.
Daisy( ML's bestie/ The manger)
*smiling mischievously*
Let's go inside.
Daisy opens the door, and they both walk into the shop. A worker is seen at the counter.
Daisy( ML's bestie/ The manger)
*to the worker*
Hi, can we see that dress?
worker
Of course, right this way.
The worker leads them to the dress. Daisy looks it over carefully.
Daisy( ML's bestie/ The manger)
*to Adele, excited*
I want you to try it on.
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*nervously*
No,no. it's not... acceptable. I'm not supposed to...
Daisy( ML's bestie/ The manger)
*with puppy eyes, pleading*
Please? I'm on my period. I don't want to ruin It. Just put it on for me.
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*sighs, giving in*
Okay...fine.
Adele puts onto the dress.
Daisy( ML's bestie/ The manger)
Thank you! The worker will show you to a place. I just want a few pictures of this.
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*hesitates but nods*
The worker leads her away toward a hall.
The doors to a grand wedding hall open as the step inside. The worker closes the door behind, her, locking it and leaving her.
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*looks confused*
Hey, hey, what's going on?
A man stands at the altar, his back to her. She walks to him in the huge dress.
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*timidly*
Excuse me,sir, can you help me?
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
*without turning, coldly*
Are you the bride?
Adeline/Adele (FL)
No, I'm not. My manager...
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
*interrupting, coldly*
I don't care. Let's get this over with.
He turns around to face her holding a file in his hands.
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*shocked*
You?
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
*steps toward her and hands it to her*
Sign it.
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*stunned, looking at the file*
What? I don't...I don't understand.
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
*seriously, unblinking*
If you want to get out of here, sign it.
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*feels the weight of his words. She trembles slightly as she takes the pen, her hands shakes as she writes her name on the paper*
worker
*watching her, a cold smirk spreading across his face*
Good girl.
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*she finishes sighing, her heart racing*
