Cinderella Farmington P.O.V.
“Get up your ass Cindy, Mother is calling you"Theresa screehes aggressively at me.
Well, I guess that's the perfect way to start my morning!
I opened my eyes and unfortunately had the pleasure of seeing Teresa standing in my room by my bed.
“What? What time is it?”I mumble, still feeling drowsy and tired. I barely got any sleep last night, I was tossing and turning all night, so I only had a few hours of sleep.
“It’s ten o’clock and you were supposed to be up ages ago. All the animals need feeding and Mother wants you to run to town to get her dress from the modiste and groceries. Get a move on it,” Teresa orders, I felt relieved since they were treating me the way they normally do. It's a good sign!
A part of me was a little bit worried that pricilia might have recognized me last night but it seems they're all oblivious“All right, all right.
The next day..... Pricilia Farmington P.O.V. “Are you expecting someone?”Theresa says as she approached the door. "Let the footman get the door Theresa"I grumble out, sighing as she opened the door anyway... “Is this the residence of Miss…”A familiar voice says, a little muffled but also aggressive, I moved my daughter out of the way... "It's you. I thought I forbade you from entering into this Estate. Your presence isn't needed or do you want me to let the footman throw you out?”I sneer out in disgust as I stared at Cassy. One of Cindy's old friends which I of course warned off, we don't want this substandard impoverished low class children filling her already stupid head with stupid advice... "What are you doing here? You may not be of the noble class but you're still a peasant and of the poor class. State your busi
King Alaric's P.O.VThe Night of the ball....."You need to calm down"My best friend and advisor says to me again."You know you're the worst, right?"I says to him dryly..."Yeah I know, Patience. Don't lose your head over a girl, she'll be here. You organised this very ball to meet her again didn't you?"He asks with a quirky and arrogant look on his face.."I think I get it now"I say smiling at him"Get what?"He ask confused"Why you have no friends, too arrogant for your own good"I say laughing at him as I shake my head ...“Well you can insult me if that will make you feel better but am only telling you the truth. She'll be here and am sure you'll know when she gets here, you both are connected now"He says witfully.."I wonder how she looks, because I've never seen you so shaken since bridget"He says dryly as he arched his perfec
"Heavens child, there you are, Have been searching for you"A familiar voice says, a voice I would remember anywhere, Pricilia's voice snapped me back to reality and my heart practically stopped when I realized who was with her...Bloody Barton!Blood rush to my ears and anger swamp through my body like a raging tornado. This is what she wants, this has been her plan all along, she won't even let me talk or explain. She's cornered me yet again, I mean what was the essence of her forcing me to this ball when she already has the intention of telling the king herself..I guess she gets her kicks from seeing me suffer!All along she's been planning to make me look like a fool Infront of the king, she wants to see me humilated too . Must she really go this far?“Your fiancé has been searching for you"Pricilia says smirking and smil
Cinderella Farmington's P.O.V. I found the door in the back of the ballroom and I ran, rushing through the long, dark corridors, not giving a hoot about where I might end up. My life is a mess, my soul feels like it's been torn to a thousand pieces. Staying in the same space with those two conniving creants in my life might just make me go mad. I moved away from the ballroom, walking and racing away untill I couldn't hear the orchestra playing.. my chest suddenly feels so tight, and it burned as I tried to catch my breath. I stopped my endless running as I spot a marble staircase, it looks familiar to the one the king escorted me through into his tower. I climb up through the marble staircase hoping and wishing it leads me straight to him, with every step I took darkness looms over me and my insecurities flares right back up.. What if I do bump into the king, will he agree to lis
Cinderella Farmington P.O.V.The dance was still on going when I managed to slip back into the ballroom, I silently hoped and prayed Pricilia didn't look for search for me. As I walk into the ballroom I could notice Pricilia's daughters talking to some good-looking men who seem really uncomfortable by them..They seems all pushing, Susanna seems to be hovering around a very handsome baron with her breasts on display. I guess she's hoping that move to be a thirst trap but it seems he looks rather irritated by her presence.I guess being forward isn't attractive!Prince Aldrich seems to be enjoying himself on the dance floor with his Future bride as they walzted and dance to the rhythm of the orchestra, he looks happy smiling down at his future bride..“Cindy Farmington, where in god's name have you been"Pricilia hurries to my side saying with clenched teeth.&nb
Cinderella Farmington P.O.V."Will she be okay?"A familiar voice says echoing in my mind as I struggle to lift up my eyelids."She should regain consciousness right about now"A perky voice says and then I could hear footsteps of someone leaving the room...I drowsily opened my eyes, glancing around the room."Where am I?"I asked confused as I looked around trying to figure out where the hell I am. I let my eyes glaze over the new surrounding I found myself and then it hit me, I suddenly realized that am not in my room in the attic. I stare at myself and realized my gown has been changed into a nightdress."Thank God you're okay"A familiar voice says rushing to my side with a worried and concerned look on his face."What happened? Where Pricilia?"I ask suddenly remembering the whole fiasco that went down before I blacked out.
Cinderella Farmington P.O.V The room is dark and only lit by fire, there's not even a window in sight. Pricilia is chained up, from her legs to her hands, this is the first time am seeing the great Lady pricilia vulnerable. She looks like shit, her beautiful and luxurious hair that has always been pinned so neatly on the top of her head is scattered all over her face. She look like she's been involved in a cat fight, streaks of blood evident on her face and her hair and once gorgeous dress now covered in dirt and mud. "You pox-marked, pus-filled, vagrant, tooth-spitting, filthy, villainous, wretch!"She suddenly spits out in anger as she noticed my presence. "Okay that's a lot of words"King Alaric says clearing his throat sternly.. "I guess we don't have to resort to torturing you to get you talking"I say dryly at her. "Were you responsible for the death o
Prince Aldrich's Theano"Do you know where my father is?"Prince Aldrich says loudly as he stared at his man servant Sean who looks quite scared and intimidated.."He's busy...with the queen"Sean replies stuttering with his words, prince Aldrich turned to stare at Sean with a suspicious look on his face but then it dawned on him as he then realized what he meant by "The King" being busy..."GET OUT!"Prince Aldrich screams in frustration as he drags his hand running them through roughly on his beautiful styled hair!The man servant quickly shuffled away from the prince's chambers!!The past few weeks has been hard for prince Aldrich infact it's been an internal battle for him inside his head. Aldrich cares a lot about his father. King Alaric has been the only parent figure he ever had. His mother died just after his birth and it still kills him because a part of him believes
