그날 아침, 나는 넘칠 듯한 에너지로 잠에서 깬다. 심장이 빠르게 뛰고, 내 몸은 흥분으로 진동하는 듯하다. 오늘은 학기의 마지막 날이다. 한 시대의 끝. 새로운 시작.
내 이름은 아리안 아콘 레슬리, 19살, 뉴욕의 명문 대학교에서 경영학을 전공하는 마지막 학년이다. 내 친구들은 나를 고전적인 미인이라고 묘사한다: 갈색 머리, 등 중간까지 흘러내리는 긴 생머리, 결연한 눈빛, 그리고 모래시계 같은 몸매. 나는 내 외모가 아니라, 승리하려는 나의 열정으로 나 자신을 정의한다.
나는 가장 친한 친구 마리안과 함께 살고 있는데, 그녀는 지금 남자친구와 여행 중이다. 아파트의 고요함은 내가 이 특별한 하루를 만끽하게 해준다. 나는 벌떡 일어나 욕실로 달려가 따뜻한 목욕을 즐긴다. 물은 내 근육을 풀어주지만, 내 정신은 최고 속도로 돌아간다.
재빠른 샤워 후, 간단한 아침 식사를 한다: 스무디, 통곡물 토스트, 스크램블 에그. 간단하지만 효과적이다. 그런 다음 조심스럽게 준비한다: 세련된 테일러 정장, 가벼운 메이크업, 우아한 하이힐. 오늘, 나는 학위증을 받으러 간다. 이 종이는 단순한 학술적 증서 이상이다. 그것은 무기이며, 나의 희생의 상징이다.
대학을 나와 손에 학위증을 쥐고, 나는 엄청난 자부심을 느낀다. 하지만 또한 현기증도 느낀다: 이제 어떻게 하지? 미래는 지뢰밭과 같고, 나는 다시 한번 싸워야 할 것이다.
아파트에 돌아와서, 나는 마리안과 마주친다.
— 마리안? 너 이번 주말에만 오는 거 아니었어?
— 그 바보가 나를 바람피우고 있어, 그녀가 차갑게 내뱉는다. — 확실해? — 그가 씻는 동안 내가 그의 휴대폰을 뒤졌어. 석 달 동안 소피아라는 여자랑 메시지를 주고받았어…나는 이를 악문다. 마리안은 내가 애정을 느끼는 몇 안 되는 사람 중 하나다. 그녀는 이런 일을 당할 자격이 없다.
— 이리와, 이번 주말에 클럽 가자!
— 싫어, 지금은 아무것도 하고 싶지 않아… — 혹시 다른 설명이 있을 수도 있잖아? 어쩌면 그 여자가 먼저 꼬신 걸 수도 있고… — 그렇게 생각해? 그녀가 희망의 빛을 띠며 묻는다. — 아마도, 나는 그녀에게 거짓 희망을 주고 싶지 않아 조심스럽게 말한다. — 너는, 취업 알아보는 거는 어떻게 돼가? — 이력서를 여러 군데 냈어, 기다리고 있어. 손가락 교차하며 기도하자.After the time Hope took a stroll in the garden to pass the time. She was feeling so bored. Since she became a princess consort she hasn’t lifted a finger to make her own tea let alone serve it herself. The amount of servants at every corner of the house caused a feeling to purge. She wasn’t used to this kind of life. All her life she grew up knowing that she had to work to provide food and clothes for herself but now she had people to do that for her. It was a foreign feeling and moreover she felt lonely.She may be married but she never wanted to have a relationship with anyone and forget about marriage.Her hands traces along the spectacular shaped hedges and trees as she walked about in the secluded part of the palace grounds.She takes a sharp turn and her mouth dropped open. With a sleek and sexy side ponytail, a yellow tradition Indian lehenga and a flower made crown was the fourth Prince’s mother watering the little flowers and plants.
“You really didn’t have to do this Prince. This is too much. I doubt I will be able to wear all of these clothes,” she expressed admiring the clothes which were kept in the closet and the jewelry in the jewelry armoire.“Hope, all this is yours to do what you please with them. If you are worried about these then what about your coronets?” he pressed a button under the shelf and the glass door automatically opened up and magnificent coronets came up to her view.A gasp left her parted lips.“Do you want to play around with them? Everything in this closet and in the room is yours Hope. All yours to do as you please. You will never run short of anything in this palace. Whatever you wish for shall be granted. Now do you want to try out some?”She shook her head with a chuckle. “No maybe later.”“Hmmm,” he glanced at his wrist watch. He had a meeting to attend with the King and his brothe
“You shameless ingrate. You went ahead and became just like your mother! You used trickery to path your way into the palace! Were you not content with your life as a servant that you went ahead to seduced the fourth prince! The forgotten and forbidden prince of the kingdom! You are useless and he is even worse than you. Now the king must be fuming in fury that I am afraid he is going to rip off my status in the royal palace all because of you!” her father shouted at her as she knelt down on the floor.“Right now the king must have sent the royal guards to come and gather us to the palace where our doom awaits us. Didn’t I tell you this girl was going to be the death of us one time. Now see she has done it Bernard. She has done it! Like mother like daughter. Twenty years ago her mother got married by deceiving you into believing that you were getting married to me and today her daughter has done the same!”“Father believe me I have no
He was nervous, his eyes constantly wavering over to the stairs where his bride was suppose to emerge from but it has been long now and there was no sign of her.The guests and the crowd were getting impatient and talked amongst themselves. He was tempted to go up there and drag her down here so that they can get over with everything.Just when he was losing it, the bride walked down the stairs with her chief bridesmaids holding her long adorned with diamonds wedding dress. It beautifully clung on her hour glass body making her irresistible to the opposite sex’s perverted eyes. He couldn’t see her face clearly because of the veil on her face.He couldn’t take his eyes off which was happening for the first and above all he had a weird funny feeling in the pit of his stomach. It wasn’t bad weird but just fine weird. He swallowed a big lump in his throat when she came to stand by his side.Maybe she didn’t place her foot right a
“What you did back there was despicable prince. Leaving your bride to be and running after a common maiden like a man deprived of love!”“Love? I am surprise you have that word in your dictionary father,” he jeered with a straight face while his mother snickered bes
Her body was sore and swollen from the beating she got from her father last night. She dare call him father. He has never been a father to her not even once. He saw her as a mistake. He is just a man who had a hand in her existence. Just because she hit his precious daughter he almost killed her.
The fourth prince awaited at the entrance of the throne room for the king to usher him in.“The King and Queen await for you your majesty,” the royal guard shakenly announced. The Prince was back and he was still the same as he left. Vague. Passive. Angry. Beastly.With
Life would have been nice if it was a horror movie with all the durn! Durn! Durn chords. Why? Simple! The moment you hear those chords in a movie you instantly know that something is about to happen? And right now Hope wished her life was a horror movie, she would be able to avoid the most tremen
