Wendy's POV
“Thanks, guys, I will never forget this in my entire life,” I said to them as I came down from the car with my big wedding gown.“It's not a problem, we are glad we could help,” Mike smiled,“Until we get locked up in prison,” the passenger at the front scoffed. Alice blew kisses at me as the car drove off, while I waved at them.When the car disappeared, I didn't waste any more time as I rushed into Aaron's apartment. I missed him, I miss his apartment too. It was a four-story building with different rooms. Aaron was living in one of the rooms.It's the reason I couldn't tell Mother or Father about Aaron, they'll call him poor and royalty-like. They'll never let me be with Aaron, so the plan is to elope with Aaron now that I have flee the wedding.As I made my way to Aaron's room, I met some of his neighbors on the way, who couldn't help but wonder what I was doing there. The news about the princess's wedding had spread through the whole town.Even if they couldn't attend the wedding, they made sure it would appear on T.V. That's how loud it was supposed to be and that's my mother's idea. Father wasn't concerned about that, but Mother wanted it to be everywhere including the newspaper. She wanted the whole world to see that her only child was getting married.The only wrong thing about everything was that I was marrying someone I didn't love. My heart, my soul, and my body belong to Aaron, I cannot see another man as mine, ever.I knocked on the door and I heard Aaron yell from inside,“Back off,” I heard his voice from inside and I chuckled. He must be in a very bad mood. He didn't even want to see anyone.Although the door was always locked, Aaron's door lock was bad so there was a way to open it anytime even if it was locked from inside. He showed me the trick and I have been using it since then.I did it, then clicked, and the door opened. With a wide smile, I stepped into the room only to find Aaron in bed with a girl.“No…” I murmured as I looked at the two of them. Aaron, in shock, came down from the bed with the duvet, ignoring the naked girl in the bed.“Wendy, what are you doing here?” He asked in shock. He had the guts to ask me such a question.I didn't know when tears began rolling down my eyes because I was no longer seeing clearly, everything had become blurry. What the hell was going on?I opened my mouth to speak, but couldn't. No matter how I tried to speak, I just couldn't utter a word.“Aaron,” the girl in the bed called, “I thought you said the princess was getting married to someone else, and she won't catch us?”My heart broke, I could hear it shatter in my chest as I watched Aaron intensively. He was staring right back at me. We both remained there for two minutes without saying anything. The only person speaking was the lady that I wished I could choke to death, but I couldn't.From her words, it was like this wasn't the first time Aaron was sleeping with her. Just that they never did it at home in case I was coming over to see him.Aaron ran his fingers through his dark hair that I had always loved to touch,“Fuck Wendy. You're not supposed to be here!” He yelled at me. His red eyes staring at me, he asked, “What? What did you expect me to do? You were getting married, after all. What do you expect me to do? You were leaving me!”I wanted to clarify things, I wanted to ask questions, I had a lot of things I wanted to do, but my heart couldn't seem to allow my mouth to speak.I was so broken that I felt myself shivering even when I knew that Aaron didn't have an A.C. in his room. My nose rushed down warm liquid that I didn't bother to wipe off.This had to be a dream because never in my life have I thought of Aaron cheating on me. He can't be doing this to me! He loves me, he always says it to me.I remember when I told him about the wedding, he was so devastated. I had promised him that I was going to run away from the wedding, then we could elope together… maybe he thought it wasn't possible.He didn't wait for the wedding to be over, he was already sleeping with another lady, who just confirmed that this wasn't the first time.“Aar… Aaron… why?” I forced myself to ask.“Why what?!? Wendy, you were getting married. You are a princess, I never thought you would be able to elope with those guards around. You should have stood for our love instead of running away. What do you think? That I would want to elope with you and ignore my studies?” He yelled at me.“I am under scholarship. Your parents own the school, so you don't get to pay the fees. Do you think we would have been able to make this work? Wendy, you are a princess, all you could have done was stand your ground and refuse the wedding with the widower instead of running away!”The more words he spit out of his mouth, the angrier I became. The more useless and awful I felt. He, who I risked everything for, didn't wait for the day to be over before he pulled someone into his bed.“Did you ever even love me?” I asked with tears rolling down my cheeks, my hands clenched in a fist.The girl behind us chuckled,“Love, is this a fairy tale to you, princess? Aaron and I have been fucking each other for a while now and I'm pretty sure this playboy was with you because of what you have to offer, he can't love anyone, he's only good at digging deep,”I didn't bother to wait to hear what Aaron had to say any longer. With pain in my heart, I turned around and ran out of the room.Wendy's POV Heartbroken isn't the only word to use in this situation. I felt useless, stupid, afraid, crushed, beaten emotionally, and downcast, I felt hatred, a bitter, deep feeling of hatred. I hated everything around me, I hated everyone around me. Not knowing what else to do, I had to run to a park nearby. The place was empty and calm, there I fell on my knees and burst into tears. “Ahh!” I screamed in pain and agony. I have never been this fooled before. Why didn't I see it before? How come I didn't notice it? I have always seen Aaron to be the best man there can ever be in the world. I trusted him with my life, if I had not caught him red-handed, I wouldn't have believed him even if a friend had told me. A sick feeling erupted from my stomach, before I could understand myself, I began to puke right there in the field. I threw up whatever was left in my stomach. I hated the feeling, the feeling I was feeling inside me. I wasn't this horrible when I was told I would be gettin
Some weeks later. Wendy's POV. "A plate of chicken and chips for table number 5," I yelled the minute I went into the kitchen. "Aye!" Someone replied. I stepped back out of the kitchen grabbing a tray of wine and two glasses with me. Going to table number five, I dropped it in front of the two men. "Your order will be ready in less than five minutes," I made my way out of their table to another who was calling for my attention. I took their order and went ahead to the kitchen to make it known to them. The chicken and chips were ready, I picked it up and took it to the other two. They paid and made their way out since it was a take-out.I kept moving from the kitchen to the restaurant back to the kitchen, I was beginning to feel dizzy and tired but I dared not sit till all the customers were satisfied. It wasn't until 10 pm that I finally fell back on one of the chairs, tired and almost giving up. Finally, all the customers were gone."Well done, Wendy," Kira smiled at me as she
Wendy's POV. May and I stepped into our class as she kept talking about the new hot professor. This girl had practically gone to search for him on the net. I don't understand May's problem. She just cannot stop talking about him and I was so shocked when she came to wake me up this morning for school. May was always the sluggish one. I shook my head knowing that the only reason she was so excited to come to school was because of the new professor in school. And just as I had reasoned, she hasn't stopped talking about him since we left the house. "We have his third-period class. He teaches mathematics and I heard he is very good. I spent most of the time last night revising mathematics in case he asks questions," Okay, I hate math. This is just to prove that l and this professor might not work well together. It happened with all the math teachers I had had in my lifetime. Math is a subject I wish to delete from human history. "Have seen him," a girl said excitedly, jumping up li
Wendy's POV"Hello, my Princess,'' a deep masculine voice said, his hot breath fanning my face in the process and my heart fell. I'm gonna be ruined, everything I've dedicated myself to build over the month will be ruined. No. No. I can't allow it, pull it together Wendy, pull your disorganized self together. Taking in a deep breath to steady myself, I slowly looked up and my breath hitched when I saw those deep oceanic blue staring deep into me, staring at my soul. Could he read minds? I clenched my bag strap tightly, trying to act audacious and not get intimidated by that scorching look he was giving me, "Si... Sir... I'm... What..." I stuttered and swallowed an empty air, it looked like I had a brain freeze. I only have a brain freeze in math class or exams. "Yes…?" He said, his minty breath penetrated my senses, and that musky male scent got me wanting more of what I do not want to admit. "What... What are you talking about, sir?" I asked, my fingers digging into my palm, wi
Wendy's POV. "What were you guys conversing about yesterday?" May asked for the umpteenth time that day but as usual, I chose to ignore her. I can't even think straight right now and the reason for my chaos was the reason for her happiness.I've never seen May so excited about anything, not even a family bucket of MC Donald. I wish I could talk to her about my fears but I can't. May was the only friend who helped me without thinking of the consequences, however, there are things she lacks. "C'mon girl, you've got to tell me what happened between you guys yesterday, I couldn't sleep because of it, tell me already, I'm dying to know, please. The whole class asked me about it today but I could not say anything and you know how I hate being clueless, just fucking tell me so we'll all have a good laugh!" She insisted and I rolled my eyes.As we neared the cafeteria, the aroma of the food wafted through my nose and my mouth began to salivate. I've not eaten something edible since yesterday
Wendy's POV."Wendy, what's wrong with you, why are you suddenly looking pale?" May asked and I felt her hand on my arm. "I have to go, May, I'll see you later, I really have to go," I muttered hurriedly, veering around and rushing to the administrative block. My heart was beating frantically against my ribcage as the starkness of the command echoed in my head. It was just a text message and not a voice message but the raw order got adrenaline gushing into every part of me. Lord I didn't plan for this kind of life after the tragedy that befell me, all I wanted was a peaceful quiet life. A life free from my past, a life where I do not have to worry about my past popping up like those annoying ads on apps. "Wendy!!!" I heard my name but the confusion in me was too great to care about whoever was calling me. Why would the professor call? Why the fuck was I panicking because of his text? It was normal for a teacher to call a student but why was my heart running a marathon because of
Wendy's POV. The race down the stairs was fast, tiring, and yet a futile one because I knew there was no way I'd make it to class before him. He's using the fucking elevator, how am I supposed to make it to the fourth floor before him, it was at this time I wish princesses have real princess power, I know I'm dethroned but I can still have my powers, right? My shoes made a squeaking sound as I ran down, my heart was racing and thudding loudly in my chest, my throat felt dry and my mouth was having this odd taste I can not even explain, sweats covered my body but I had no time to even clean it. I'm such an empathy case right now. As I took the last step down, I nearly slipped and due to my battle for stability, I had a sprain in my ankle and despite the discomfort I felt, I could not allow it to penetrate me nor did I allow myself the liberty to feel pain. People were staring at me as I half ran and leaped towards my department but I didn't care. If I get a bad grade, I'll not be q
Wendy's POV. "Ouch! Careful May, you wanna damage it further?" I asked May angrily while she was trying to help me apply some of her aunt's medicine to my ankle."I'm sowie baby, I don't intend to hurt you, it looks pretty swollen, we could have gone to the hospital you know." She muttered childishly and began to blow the sprained part; an action I think it's childish but looks cute. May is just everything to me right now. Yeah, she's annoying and acts silly but all we got is each other, just me and her ...oh, plus Aunt Linda, the happiest and most content soul I've ever met. "Stop blowing it, you're only making it worse," I said and when she shot her head to look at me, I rolled my eyes and relaxed my head on the cushion."You're annoying and really crazy." I heard her but I chose to ignore her and she got the message because she went back to doing her job. I might not be a princess again but I had to enjoy the feeling of being spoiled sometimes, it just feels good and I don't th
