Chapter 2: Crushed.

Wendy's POV

“Thanks, guys, I will never forget this in my entire life,” I said to them as I came down from the car with my big wedding gown.

“It's not a problem, we are glad we could help,” Mike smiled,

“Until we get locked up in prison,” the passenger at the front scoffed. Alice blew kisses at me as the car drove off, while I waved at them.

When the car disappeared, I didn't waste any more time as I rushed into Aaron's apartment. I missed him, I miss his apartment too. It was a four-story building with different rooms. Aaron was living in one of the rooms.

It's the reason I couldn't tell Mother or Father about Aaron, they'll call him poor and royalty-like. They'll never let me be with Aaron, so the plan is to elope with Aaron now that I have flee the wedding.

As I made my way to Aaron's room, I met some of his neighbors on the way, who couldn't help but wonder what I was doing there. The news about the princess's wedding had spread through the whole town.

Even if they couldn't attend the wedding, they made sure it would appear on T.V. That's how loud it was supposed to be and that's my mother's idea. Father wasn't concerned about that, but Mother wanted it to be everywhere including the newspaper. She wanted the whole world to see that her only child was getting married.

The only wrong thing about everything was that I was marrying someone I didn't love. My heart, my soul, and my body belong to Aaron, I cannot see another man as mine, ever.

I knocked on the door and I heard Aaron yell from inside,

“Back off,” I heard his voice from inside and I chuckled. He must be in a very bad mood. He didn't even want to see anyone.

Although the door was always locked, Aaron's door lock was bad so there was a way to open it anytime even if it was locked from inside. He showed me the trick and I have been using it since then.

I did it, then clicked, and the door opened. With a wide smile, I stepped into the room only to find Aaron in bed with a girl.

“No…” I murmured as I looked at the two of them. Aaron, in shock, came down from the bed with the duvet, ignoring the naked girl in the bed.

“Wendy, what are you doing here?” He asked in shock. He had the guts to ask me such a question.

I didn't know when tears began rolling down my eyes because I was no longer seeing clearly, everything had become blurry. What the hell was going on?

I opened my mouth to speak, but couldn't. No matter how I tried to speak, I just couldn't utter a word.

“Aaron,” the girl in the bed called, “I thought you said the princess was getting married to someone else, and she won't catch us?”

My heart broke, I could hear it shatter in my chest as I watched Aaron intensively. He was staring right back at me. We both remained there for two minutes without saying anything. The only person speaking was the lady that I wished I could choke to death, but I couldn't.

From her words, it was like this wasn't the first time Aaron was sleeping with her. Just that they never did it at home in case I was coming over to see him.

Aaron ran his fingers through his dark hair that I had always loved to touch,

“Fuck Wendy. You're not supposed to be here!” He yelled at me. His red eyes staring at me, he asked, “What? What did you expect me to do? You were getting married, after all. What do you expect me to do? You were leaving me!”

I wanted to clarify things, I wanted to ask questions, I had a lot of things I wanted to do, but my heart couldn't seem to allow my mouth to speak.

I was so broken that I felt myself shivering even when I knew that Aaron didn't have an A.C. in his room. My nose rushed down warm liquid that I didn't bother to wipe off.

This had to be a dream because never in my life have I thought of Aaron cheating on me. He can't be doing this to me! He loves me, he always says it to me.

I remember when I told him about the wedding, he was so devastated. I had promised him that I was going to run away from the wedding, then we could elope together… maybe he thought it wasn't possible.

He didn't wait for the wedding to be over, he was already sleeping with another lady, who just confirmed that this wasn't the first time.

“Aar… Aaron… why?” I forced myself to ask.

“Why what?!? Wendy, you were getting married. You are a princess, I never thought you would be able to elope with those guards around. You should have stood for our love instead of running away. What do you think? That I would want to elope with you and ignore my studies?” He yelled at me.

“I am under scholarship. Your parents own the school, so you don't get to pay the fees. Do you think we would have been able to make this work? Wendy, you are a princess, all you could have done was stand your ground and refuse the wedding with the widower instead of running away!”

The more words he spit out of his mouth, the angrier I became. The more useless and awful I felt. He, who I risked everything for, didn't wait for the day to be over before he pulled someone into his bed.

“Did you ever even love me?” I asked with tears rolling down my cheeks, my hands clenched in a fist.

The girl behind us chuckled,

“Love, is this a fairy tale to you, princess? Aaron and I have been fucking each other for a while now and I'm pretty sure this playboy was with you because of what you have to offer, he can't love anyone, he's only good at digging deep,”

I didn't bother to wait to hear what Aaron had to say any longer. With pain in my heart, I turned around and ran out of the room.
