The men in Elena's life(partB)

He knew that Elena was pregnant for him and he was not just going to let Henry take his woman and his child all because he was rich. Henry was kneeling down; in his hands was a beautiful engagement ring. Elena looked angelically gorgeous in her short white dress and nude colored peep -toe heels. She was staring back at Henry, she placed her right- hand on her heart, jumping up and down "OH
yes, yes, Henry my love, I will. "Elena was saying.
Francis didn't even realize when and how he had pulled the trigger. Jealousy and anger rippled through his veins. This had to be a nightmare, how could Elena accept that man's proposal. Didn't she realize that it was a mistake? He was the man she loved and they belonged together. Henry was not in the picture and he didn't intend on giving them a happily ever after just like that. He couldn't be sure when he came back to himself perhaps it was Elena's scream or was it half of Henry's brains flying all over? He stood there his mind slowly registering what he had just done.
She stood in shock as she watched him convulse hysterically trying to cling to his dear life which she knew was hopeless. Blood trickled from his nose and mouth. She knew that she should rush to his side and hold him up and give him comfort but she stood as if rooted to the spot. He fluttered his eyelids and with a gasp of sheer pain breathed his last. She was still acutely aware of the man who was holding the gun and she knew she stood in the line of fire yet she didn't trust her legs to move and she felt like she had nowhere to go even in that spacious classy room.
As the shock left her  , she was quickly filled with anger. She turned and accosted her fiancĂ©es murderer. "You stupid fool, he is dead. You killed him," She hit him across the face and couldn't bring herself to stop. Frank grabbed her hands, "Will you stop shouting and hitting me? Yes, I know he is dead. I just meant to scare him. Oh my God, I killed him." Frank was still in shock and it finally dawned on Elena that he was in a worse state than her.
Elena turned towards Henry's lifeless body her mind full of thoughts. She couldn't believe all her hard work has just been flashed down the toilet. The truth was that she really didn't have any feelings for Henry. He was a chubby middle aged man with mother issues ,always feeling the need to control everyone around him.He had a god complex but Elena kept her distaste for him under wraps because he had a whole lot of cheddar to spend on a pretty young girl like her. She had used him like an ATM card and she had fooled him to think he meant the world to her. She cared more about the zeros in his bank account statement and she was only sad Frank had killed him before Henry had married her. She knew she wouldn't claim his wealth. What a waste of her time!
