Tempted By My Jilted Groom Chapter 86: Mixed Emotions.
Wendy's POV.I stepped out of the office with mixed feelings. I felt grateful for the fact that my professor had been so considerate, but I was also confused and worried because I still didn't know his plans with me. I knew I'd pay the debts; I had already applied for a job somewhere else. If I got two jobs, I'd be able to manage it. I had considered working as a stripper in a club since the pay was handsome, but I couldn't risk it. The school might expel me if they found out. Despite being a good dancer, I couldn't take that risk. It would also expose me to more men, but that wasn't my main concern; I was more afraid of the consequences from the school.Stepping into the elevator, anger burned within me as I remembered the professor's words. My doubts had been confirmed; May was lying. But why would she lie?!"Gosh! That girl is becoming worse by the day!" I let out a frustrated grunt.I could talk to May, yes, but it would be useless and would end up in a heavy argument between the
Tempted By My Jilted Groom Chapter 87: Accusation.
Wendy's POV. "How could you, Wendy? Since when did you start accepting gifts from men, and of all men, your professor?!" Aunt Linda's angry yell welcomed me immediately after I got into the house.Her accusation hit me like a slap to the face, and I creased my brow, wondering what was up and why she was behaving so irrationally. Yeah, I'll call it irrational, and how the fuck did she find out about the gift. My mind raced and I gritted my teeth when I discovered who it was. May! That conniving little snake. I sucked in a breath, trying to contain my frustrationThe name resonated in my head and I took in sharper silent deep breaths to stabilize myself so I'll not erupt cause this was so fucking annoying right now. I know May must be inside, she should be, that crazy girl left me in school to gossip about me to Aunt Linda.Gosh! That's the height of all the shits I've tolerated because of her, one of her silly friends must have seen the gifts in my hand and informed her. I'm pretty
Tempted By My Jilted Groom Chapter 88: Alex's Men.
Wendy's POV.Two weeks later."I am beyond tired right then; I am glad I don't have another shift tonight," Kira whined as the last customer of the evening left, and we turned the sign ‘CLOSED’ by the restaurant door."Yeah, I am more than exhausted too, but look on the brighter side, we'll soon close from here. So, what about the kids, ain't you getting late?" I asked, bringing out my phone to check if the professor had sent any texts, but there was nothing from him, and I frowned.He had promised to come pick me up today, and I was eagerly waiting for him. I missed him. He hadn't been in the country for the past week, and he had been so busy that we hardly talked on the phone. I didn't know how much power he wielded to be absent from school for such a long time, but as usual, I gave all the credit to the fact that he was a crown prince."They went to their Granny's place; they'll be staying there for a while. I need to focus on my work, and you know my hunt for a better job takes a
Tempted By My Jilted Groom Chapter 89: Dangerous Angels.
Wendy's POV. "You four should leave, we do not entertain criminals in our restaurant," Kira said, coming to stand in my front.The men laughed and said, "Well, that wasn't what your boss said when he took money from us." "What?" I let out a surprise gasp, wondering what they were talking about. "You heard us well, lady, so I'll kindly ask, will you come with us willingly, or should we force you out of here?" The grumpy yet ugly-looking one I'll term as their leader asked and I gave him an unpleasing look, my face squeezed in disgust as I looked at him, wondering how a man can be so ugly inside out."She's not coming with you and I think it's best you all leave before I call the police, it's like you people have a death wish, it looks like you miss that disgusting boss of yours and hence you came to ask for death willingly, huh?" Kira asked, her voice dripping with disgust."We'll leave here but we're not leaving without that bitch behind you, she either follows us or we'll bundle h
Tempted By My Jilted Groom Chapter 90: Bad Luck
Wendy's POV. My heart hammered in my chest as I watched Kira fall to the floor, the sound of the gunshot still echoing in my ears. My eyes widened as I scanned the scene in front of me. Panic surged through my veins, and tears welled up in my eyes as I knelt beside her, my hands trembling as I reached out to touch her. "Kira!" I cried out, my voice cracking with fear and pain. I cradled her head in my hands, my heart breaking at the sight of blood seeping from her wound; she had been hit on her arms and the amount of blood that was gushing out of her arm was too much, "No. No. No. Please, this... This can't be happening to you, you don't deserve this... Oh God! What have I done." I cried, my heart clenching, hot tears welling up in my eyes as I watched one of the very few people who had shown me genuine love ever since I came here. "You stupid bitch, look what you've done," one of the men sneered, his voice filled with malice as he towered over us but I didn't even move or give a
Tempted By My Jilted Groom Chapter 91: A Glimpse of...
Wendy's POV."Wendy..." A familiar voice called, and I veered around almost immediately, my heart in my mouth. When I saw Aunt Linda heading towards me with open arms, I rushed towards her in a hurry. Tears fell freely from my eyes as she engulfed me in her embrace."My child, why is the world testing you so much?" She asked rhetorically, because I had no answers to it. I don't think there's anyone who has an answer to that question. I'm tired, truly tired of jumping from one deadly trouble to another. It seems like those around me would get hurt... Was I cursed?Did my family curse me or maybe my kingdom cursed me? I knew my assumptions were illogical, but that's the only thing I could blame for whatever shits that were happening to me."It's alright, my love. Don't cry too much or you'll fall sick. Do you want to fall sick, baby?" She asked, withdrawing from the hug. A low sigh escaped my lips as I sniffed my running nose.My head was aching badly, but I was still finding it hard to
Tempted By My Jilted Groom Chapter 92: A Friend Like No Other.
Wendy's POV.I approached Kira's hospital bed, a mix of relief and worry carved on my face. She woke up a few hours ago and she was already whining about the hospital stench. I hate the stench of the hospital but I can not let her know this, she would pester me that we should leave. "Do you need anything again, Kira?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady despite the emotions in me. Kira flashed me a broad smile, her eyes twinkling with mischief and love. "You really need to stop asking me that," she teased, her voice tinged with laughter. "I told you I'm fine. I don't know why the doctors refused to discharge me. I'm in perfect condition. The wound still hurts a bit, but I'm fine now."Her casual dismissal of her own well-being made me want to both laugh and cry. I knew she was trying to reassure me, but the thought of her being in pain still chewed at my heart. Whenever I remember how I held her in my hands while she was bleeding, my chest tightened so badly that tears would dro
Tempted By My Jilted Groom Chapter 93: A Deal?
George's POV."Dad, please, I told you, something important came up so I had to leave. There was an emergency that required my attention in school," I explained, my frustration evident in my tone. I struggled to maintain a calm tone, not wanting to worsen the situation further through the video call with my father. This was one of the many reasons why I dreaded these family video calls—it was annoying and I couldn't even escape it."You mean you left an important meeting concerning our kingdom and many kingdoms because of some silly school emergency?!" My father's voice boomed from the other end, his disapproval evident on his face, and I knew it would be a matter of time before he started his lecture on responsibilities and how I had to take my duty seriously because I was the heir to the throne. Being the heir came with lots of advantages but the disadvantages... Good Lord, there were many.I cursed inwardly, realizing my mistake in mentioning it was a school emergency. I should ha
