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
Tempted By My Jilted Groom Chapter 94: My little lucky charm.
Wendy's POV."How... I didn't understand, this is huge, bae!" I exclaimed in excitement as my eyes landed on the name board hanging proudly outside the restaurant—our ex-boss's restaurant."Well, let's just say a miracle happened," she replied, her smile broad and suspicious as she used her hand to blow herself dramatically. I couldn't help but laugh. I didn't know this was possible now; I knew she always talked about getting her own place and seeing this now... The goddess of happiness knows I'm truly happy for her."I sure could use that kind of miracle," I remarked, still trying to wrap my head around the unexpected turn of events. "But why put my name there? I didn't contribute to it, and you know it. If I had known you were doing something like this, I would have contributed whatever little I had. How did you even manage to get the restaurant?"I pulled her aside, eager to hear the details of her extraordinary achievement."Well, I saw an opportunity and I seized it," she explain
Tempted By My Jilted Groom Chapter 95: Back Again.
Wendy's POV."This is so incredibly unbelievable!" Aunt Linda shouted the next day after I told her about Kira's exceptional achievement. Aunt Linda had been out of town for a few days, and those days were the most boring in the house for me. May's hardly at home, and when she finally decides to stay home, she hardly talks to me."Yeah, I'm really impressed by everything. And do you know the best part?" I asked, chewing fast on my toast."What's it? Tell me already," she urged, giving me another plate of toast."Well, she made me her partner!""What! Goodness!! That's so incredible and surprising!" she said with a wide smile, and I just chuckled. My heart was beating with happiness. I never thought things would go so well. Till now, I'm still surprised that I got such a big offer. Kira was truly the best."I'm so happy for you, darling," She added, and I just smiled before saying, "Thanks, Auntie. I'm happy for myself and happy for her too. The restaurant looks better than ever, and
