Capturing Cinderella (English Version)

Nathalia’s POVI turned off the engine of my car as it came to a stop in front of a tall building. After making sure I didn’t leave anything behind, I got out of the car and looked up at the towering building before me.I took a deep breath before I started walking, going along with the flow of people entering the building.As I entered, the lounge area greeted me, filled with many people lounging around and reading magazines. Most of them seemed to be guests of the hotel.My attention was immediately drawn to the large chandelier hanging from the ceiling. It looked cold and beautiful, made of crystal.I began walking on the red carpet laid out in the hallway, passing by pillars adorned with indoor plants.I smiled as I proceeded to the reception area.“Good afternoon, Ma’am. How may I help you?” the receptionist greeted me politely, wearing a wide smile on her lips.I glanced around. It wasn’t my first time here. But even so, I couldn’t just visit my friends.I had been waiting for t

Nathalia’s POV“What were you doing at the hotel yesterday? And why did you suddenly run off? You told me that you’d talk to us later that day. But what happened? You’re not even answering our calls!” Harold bombarded me with questions before taking a sip of his frappe.I was about to respond when Albert intervened.“You have no idea how worried we were! We were taken aback when Harold told us that he saw you in the hotel lobby and you hurriedly left. We thought you got into some trouble.” He shook his head before taking a small piece of his blueberry cheesecake on a plate.I was about to answer when Damon suddenly interjected. I gave him a disapproving look, but it seemed like he didn’t catch the message I wanted to convey.“Knowing you and your heroine act, I can’t figure out whether I should be pleased or regretful that we taught you self-defense and all those safety precaution techniques.”I took a deep breath, anticipating Mads’ imminent interruption. I quickly preempted her, rai

Nathalia’s POVI’m currently engrossed and focused on my laptop. I decided to gather essential information about Stephen Anderson.While I used to ignore the news when I heard or read about him before, now I have to get involved. I need to know every single detail about him. I should be aware of who he really is and what he is capable of doing aside from killing and manipulating people.I sighed and almost buried my face in frustration because most of the articles I read about him were negative. His name is associated with many issues.There is some recognition as well. But still, it wouldn’t change the fact that he’s indeed a bad person, and it wouldn’t cover his bad deeds.Just recently, he’s been accused of being the one who killed the well-known businessman, Mr. Choi. Rumor has it that they were fierce rivals in business and recently had a major altercation. People have concluded that he is responsible for the tragic accident. Speculation spread that the accident was intentional a

Nathalia’s POVI laid two baskets of white roses in front of adjacent tombstones before slowly sitting down on the grass. I gently traced the engraved names there and smiled sadly.“It’s my birthday today. Your daughter has grown up now.” I tried to make my voice sound cheerful, but it still cracked.I closed my eyes tightly, and a tear rolled down from my right eye. However, I quickly wiped it away and sighed before opening my eyes again. This is supposed to be a happy day.“I wish you were still here. Maybe we’d be celebrating happily today.” I bit my lower lip.“Ever since I was young, you already had so many plans for me. From my high school graduation, my debut, my college graduation, and until the time you would entrust the company’s management to me. Because I am your only heir. Even in whom I would marry...”My face slightly contorted as I remembered that.“I wish it hadn’t been part of your plans.”I let out a heavy sigh. If only I could do something to change the past. But I

I woke up because of the noise of different voices around me. I furrowed my brow in confusion.“What did you do?” I heard a familiar voice ask.“I explained everything to him, but he won’t listen. He almost barged in! Thank God, we managed to stop him!” another familiar voice replied.“You can’t blame him, though. You made a move without them knowing first,” a female voice interjected.Wait, where am I? Who are these people talking to, and what are they discussing?I slowly opened my eyes and fully awakened when I saw Stephen sitting on a chair beside the bed, holding a gun.That made me get up and remember everything that happened. I then realized that Ace and Shantel must be the ones with the familiar voices I heard earlier.“We’ll just go outside,” Ace said. Shantel followed him, looking grumpy.As they finally left and closed the door, my attention turned back to Stephen when I heard the click of the gun.He stood up and slowly approached me. I began to back away until I leaned ag
