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, with the wobbly condition my legs were in right now, I knew it would only be a matter of time before they gave way."I'm so sorry... It's just that you look so familiar." He muttered, his eyes still on me, his gaze held mine captive, I found it hard to even look away from him despite wanting to."Oh..." Was the only word that could come out of my mouth and he nodded with a half smile; a smile that didn't even reach his cold eyes."Yeah, you resembled a girl that I loathe so much, a girl I'll torture as long as I live, a girl who should run away from me 'cause I'm her new nightmare..." He paused and my heartbeat accelerated so fast that I thought I'd pass out due to it.He must have noticed my uneasiness because a smirk appeared on his face, a smirk that disappeared almost immediately, "I... I don't… I don't know." I stuttered stupidly, I don't know what I was saying.I just wanna leave but I can't... It seems like he held me confined with his aura and gaze."Don't worry about anything, you ain't the girl, you just look like the girl, thank your stars, girl, you are lucky." He clarified.Seriously? Was that supposed to make me feel better?My whole body was etched in great confusion and I had no idea what to do. I know I'm the girl he's talking about, it has got to be me... He knows me.Right?"Are you alright?" His deep voice asked dryly and I was quick to snap out of my trance. As much as I know that my little denial game was just a flop but deep down inside of me, I had hoped that the man standing before me wouldn't know who I was."I'm... I'm alright. I am." I replied, my voice almost a whisper."You sure? You look like you'll pass out any moment, your face looks pale and you are shaking, so how can you be alright?" He asked, folding his muscular arms around his broad chest and I tensed."I... I have no idea what you're talking about and in the absence of anything else, I'd like to take my leave." I declared, trying to sound bold and hoping that he didn't see that my shaking had boosted."Oh, interesting, of course, you are free to go, I'm so sorry for stopping you, um... I didn't get your name, what's your name, lassie?" He asked, his face stern and eyes mischievous.With every word that came out of his gorgeous mouth, my self-confidence dwindled, no one had ever intimidated me like this before. I was once a princess and we're taught to carry our heads up high where ever we are that teaching helped me a lot but I don't think they consider someone like my professor here before making that rule because how the fuck do I keep my self confident and collected with this man staring into my soul?"I don't think my name would interest you, sir. If you don't mind, I'd like to leave now, I have something to catch up with." I said, my hand tightening around the strap of my bag."Yeah, you are free to go." He let out simply and I sighed in relief. Something in me told me it was too simple but who cares, he'd permitted me to depart. I'll leave with my apprehension-filled body.Tearing my eyes off his cold gaze, I forced a smile towards him and slowly turned around to leave.I was taking the first step with great difficulty when I heard, "Wendy."With my heart almost jumping out of my mouth, I veered around so fast only to see the professor still standing in that same position, his countenance blank.With a frantic beating heart, I asked, "What did... What did you call me?""Wendy." He replied plainly, his lips turned up.I managed to force a smile, "How... If you knew my name, why would you...you ask me again?" I asked in a shaky voice and it was at this moment that I regretted not changing my name.Well... I didn't expect anyone to know me, I was very far from home."Everyone knows who you are Wendy, you can not hide yourself." He disclosed and my heart skipped a beat, beads of sweat formed on my forehead and my palms suddenly became sweaty as those words left his mouth.This man has come to destroy me... There's no doubt about that."You look like you just saw the ghost of someone you've wronged," he said with a throaty chuckle and I panicked extensively. This man is playing with my senses and he's winning, I can't let him win."You have your name imprinted on your bag, Wendy, look at it." He revealed, pointing at my bag and my head shot towards the direction he pointed.It was true, my name was boldly imprinted in black letters on my white handbag. A weak whoosh of relief left my mouth and I looked up, trying to be bold."Okay, I'm going. Bye, sir." I said hurriedly and he nodded.I gave him a smile that showed nothing but sham, I hope he didn't notice.Before I turned around, he advised coldly, "Put your look-alike in prayers because she needs it though I doubt if God would be able to save her from my wrath."Looking up at him, I saw those intense burning fury in his oceanic eyes and I gulped down an empty air, "Okay." I said in a whisper."Good. Do you know another interesting fact?" He asked and unfurled his arms before pocketing them."What?" I asked in a wheeze and he gave me that devious smirk that disappeared as fast as it came."Her name is also Wendy. Princess Wendy to be precise." He replied and as his words sank into my core, he spun around and began heading away with gentle majestic strides.My eyes twitched severely in fear because I knew my denial just went wrong.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
Wendy's POV. "Good evening ma'am." He greeted with all modesty looking at Aunt Linda with an extended hand. His scent wafted into my nostril and I chastised myself when I inhaled more of it. What was he making me do? Making me think?! "Hello, good evening, it's good to finally meet the famous professor." Aunt Linda said softly and took his extended hand into hers. "Wow, I don't know what to say." He said with a chuckle before withdrawing his hand. "Hi professor, it's good to meet you... I mean see you." May stammered and I know she's flushed right now. Gawd! When will that girl learn to control herself when it comes to this man? "It's good to see you too..." He paused obviously not getting the name, I doubt if he even knows her name."May... My name is May." May was quick to fill in the missing phrase."Oh, yeah, Miss. May." He said curtly and I heard May giggle. The way he's being all Mr. Nice was provoking me, I know that he's anything but nice. He's such a perfect deviant,
Wendy's POV. "You're insane! You would only get things worse!" I exclaimed when I recovered from the shock of his statement. I don't care if I say ridiculous things at the moment, the man is planning to cripple me! And there's nothing I can do about it. However, instead of responding to me, he just flouted me and returned his attention to his phone again."A doctor is different from a professor! Doctors and professors are two different professions!! Now kindly drop my leg and let me be." I warned and tried to move but the pain seemed to have numbed me. A low sigh escaped his mouth and he looked at me again,"Stop struggling darling, I can be anything for you so being a doctor isn't an exception. How hard can it be? I would browse the internet and follow the instructions, relax, it won't be that hard." He said in a calm voice that I find unbelievably annoying."Are you kidding me?! You wanna get my leg amputated and you want me to relax?! Is the word silly written on my forehead?" I
Wendy's POV. The walk to class was one of the most tedious things I've ever done in a long while. In a real sense, I'd prefer to work several shifts than to walk to class. I should have listened to Aunt Linda and taken the wheelchair but I was claiming to be a strong woman."How are you feeling now Wendy, sorry dear." One of my coursemates sympathized with me and I gave him one of my best forced smiles. I don't like the idea of everyone telling me sorry, I hate it when I am in a state of sympathy, all those pitiful stares and sorry from different directions make me mad. I hate to be in a vulnerable state, it's not just me. "You should have listened to Aunt Linda and taken the wheelchair, it would have been faster and much more convenient for you," May muttered and I just scoffed. "And attract the whole world's pity, no thank you, I think I love it like this. It's stressful but I know I'll manage, you can walk ahead, I'll catch up.""Nah, if we're gonna be late to class, we'll be la
