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 getting married to a widower, I should have just settled for the widower even if I didn't love him.I should go back to them and tell them I was ready to marry him, what's his name? George.Yes, I have to marry George and save my face along with that of my family.I remained in the park until it was mid-afternoon before making my way back to the palace. I knew my parents wouldn't be happy with what I did, but I was coming to ask for forgiveness. I would marry whoever they ask me to marry.When I got to the palace, there were a lot of reporters around. The place was so crowded that I wondered what was going on.“The princess is here!” Someone screamed and everyone turned towards me with their cameras and mic.“Princess Wendy, is it true that you have been against the wedding right from the on-set?”“Princess Wendy, why did you run away?”“Princess, were you ever in love with your groom?”Questions from left and right came flying down to my ears. With the help of the guards, I was able to get past them to the front of the crowd, where my father and mother stood.They must have called for the crowd because in front of them were many mics.“Mom, Dad,” I called when I saw that they weren't even looking at me. I was standing in front of the crowd, yet they looked like they couldn't see me. My mom was still stealing glances at me and I could decipher the fear and sadness in her expression.My father cleared his throat before speaking,“Today, early this morning, I had a daughter whom you all know as princess Wendy,” There was total silence as he spoke,“But as I speak to you right now, I do not have a child!”I gasped as I looked from my father to the people besides him, they all had emotionless expressions on their faces. My heart began to beat so loudly as I tried to speak,“Father…?”“From this day forward, the king and his queen have no daughter named Wendy. Wendy has been disowned from the royal family and the palace!”“No!” I screamed as I rushed to where they stood, but was stopped by the guards.“Father, I'm sorry! Please, father!” I yelled, but Father only continued,“Today, the 5th of December, marks the day of her death to the royal family”“No!” I screamed as I struggled to get out of the grip of the guards who had held me. I saw a tear roll down my mother's eyes, but she immediately wiped them off before they got to her lips.Oh mother, I'm sorry… please.I didn't care if I was screaming, shouting, or not acting like a princess, I didn't know what I would do if my father disowned me. They cannot do this to their only child, I was their only child. How do they plan to live without me?“Mother, please…” I cried, but they both ignored me as they signed in the royal book that I was no longer part of the bloodline.Before my eyes, my father banished me from living in the palace. Publicly, he announced that I was disowned.“No!” I cried. I screamed and begged, but that was the king and queen for you. If they decide on a thing, absolutely nothing can change their mind.They were about to leave after talking when I screamed,“Mother! Mother, please. I am your daughter,” I cried. Mother waved at the guards to leave me alone, and I rushed towards her. I was about to hug her, but she stepped away trying hard to keep a firm face.“For the disgrace you have caused upon this family. For staining our family's name and ruining our reputation, you should be glad we are not throwing you in jail along with your worthless friends” Her voice was cold.Mother had never used that tone at me. That's the tone she uses for servants who annoyed her or her subjects who vexed her, not me. Never me.“Mother, I'm sorry,”“There are some things that cannot be corrected. This is an example. Go and live your life with your boyfriend who you ran to earlier. I am very sure he would love you without the title, princess”.I fell to my knees as I watched her walk away from me. Her words pierced deep through my heart, causing me to begin to tremble. The man I had left my family to be with had abandoned me the same way I had abandoned my family when they needed me the most.“Princess Wendy, where will you go from here?”“Princess Wendy, is it true you had a lover aside from the groom?”“She is no longer a princess!” I heard my father's voice. His voice was so loud that even without the mic, everyone got the message.He picked up the mic,“Wendy is not a princess. There is no princess in Havon's kingdom! The meeting is over, everyone can take their leave now!”“Guards!” My father called, “Drag her out of here!" And my eyes widened.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
Wendy's POV. "Oh, Lord!" I cried as we stepped out of our apartment, my leg was hurting so bad that I just wanna be sedated so I'll go into nothingness."So sorry dear, you'll be fine honey." Aunt Linda soothed me as she helped me down the stairs towards the packed taxi. "May, get your ass down here now!" Aunt Linda shouted harshly for May who was busy putting on some make-up.That silly girl was putting on make-up at such an odd hour when we were supposed to be on our way to the hospital. Aunt Linda helped me into the car and got in the passenger seat in front. May was supposed to be with me at the back but the ridiculous girl was nowhere in sight "I'm sorry ladies, I just had to apply some...""Get in now, you crazy child!" Aunt Linda huffed, cutting May in. May just grumbled and slid into the car with me, as the car began to progress, I got ready for Aunt Linda's wrath. "You silly child...""C'mon Aunt May, I'm here already, you don't have to utter profanity on my entire gene
