Alternative Cinderella

Astra's POVI lay on the bed in my dark lingerie, my head resting on my palm as I waited for my husband to arrive from his trip. It was a chilly night, and all I wanted was to be tucked in my cotton robes, snuggling in the sheets he left me in for four weeks now.But I heard Lucien, my middle-aged husband, will be returning home today, and I had to present myself as a worthy wife for him. My heart palpitated in my chest, and I tried not to cry. My life was unraveling before my eyes, and all I had to do was stay calm. "You got this." I told myself. But I got nothing except my fading love for my husband. The last time Lucien left the house for weeks like this, all I got were reports of his cheating with numerous women in every city he went.At the point, it's an open secret that everyone in the city knows. Lucien is a serial cheater, and I'm the loyal wife who remains married to him.I tried to stay calm through it all, telling myself Lucien will return to his senses and come home to

Fixing father's shitty deal

Roman's POV"It's ill luck to speak against the dead, Roman." Mother scolded me on the phone.I rolled my eyes, my gaze settling on the moving streets. I'm fashionably late for my meeting with Lucien and my so-called wife-to-be. Tim, my driver, is zooming through the street like being too late to this meeting could cost him his job. "Mum, I'm only saying I wish Dad didn't sign the marriage clause in his contract with Lucien. Why do I have to get married to Lucien's daughter to reclaim my rights to the Lotus-tale park?""We've talked about this, Roman. Your father and Lucien were great friends and partners. He wouldn't have signed it if he didn't trust Lucien.""Well, mom. Dad was fooled." My voice cut through hers. "I went through the records, mum. Lucien is manipulating the contract terms. He is cutting down workers' salaries significantly, enriching himself and making conditions hard for workers in the park."Mother sighs. "Son, I know you won't leave your billion-dollar business a

Lovers to Enemies

Astra's POV"You look stunning, ma'am!" Maria cooed at my dress as I stepped out of my room. Thank God all she saw was my dress, not my reddened eyes. I cried while I dressed, did my hair, and put on makeup. "Thanks, Maria." I feigned a smile."Are you alright ma'am?" Maria's eyes caught mine. I quickly looked away. "Oh, I'm great, Maria." I sniffled and smiled quickly. Maria was the only staff member here who was nice to me. Others treated me like the dirtbag Cherry and Lucien assumed me to be. "How's the preparation for Cherry's fiancé's coming?" "The table is set ma'am. All the food courses will start rolling in once he sits on the table. We…”There I zoned out again. My mind filled with horrid thoughts of what would happen next, now that I've been served with a divorce. My life is over, yet here I am, tucked in a party dress, smiling like a fool. "Excuse me, Maria." My voice cuts through hers, and I push myself forward, walking away. I wish I could run, hide, or just be invisi

I'm not jealous, you're jealous!

Roman POVIt's her! I knew she was here the moment I walked into this house. It was confusing at first until…now. After all these years, she's as beautiful as the first time I saw her."Roman," Cherry's high-pitched voice sliced through my thoughts. "Meet my stepmother, my father's old little trophy, Astra."Step- what?Did I hear that correctly? This has to be a sick joke. I looked from Astra to Lucien. She married this old skunk?What the fuck?!"You're married?" I spat at Astra. I couldn't help getting pissed."And you're just about to get married." Astra spat back. I could see her shocked gaze fade to irritation. "You guys know each other?" Cherry's wide blue eyes darted between us, awaiting an explanation."Yes," I spat just as soon as she spat her "No," Our gaze blazed at each other, making Cherry even more confused."We don't know each other," Astra said with finality, her gaze swinging from mine to Cherry's. Lucien approached us and threw his arms over her waist, pulling he

Enemies to Partners

Astra's POV"Astra is a lovely name," Roman said, hands in his pockets. "I would never have guessed I'd be calling my mother-in-law that.""What are you doing here?" I hissed."Should I be asking you that?!" His eyebrow furrowed. His eye blazed into mine."I have nothing to say to you," I made to leave, but he stood in the way.Silence settled between us like a wet shroud. "I need to go.""Where? To be with your aging husband?""Oh, shut up, Roman." I shot him a glare. "You left me!""And you married that old skunk?!""Well, look who's marrying the old skunk's daughter."He groaned frustratedly. "I'm not even here because I want to marry her. I'm here because I don't!"What does that even mean?"You're not here to call off the engagement, are you?""How can I call something off that I didn't consent to in the first place. The Damaris…your old skunk of a husband basically shoved this offer down my throat."I scoffed impatiently. "Lucien can't shove anything down your throat, Roman. Ev
