All Chapters of Cinderella's Revenge : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Lolly’s POV “Final call, people! If your significant other does not show up in the next five minutes, I’m sorry but that’s it. Curtains closed on getting married today! You are gonna have to try another day!” the white-haired clerk at the city hall yelled out. I shrank with embarrassment. I was the only one sitting out there alone with my bouquet on my laps, tapping my feet impatiently, waiting for my fiancé. He’ll show, I kept telling myself over and over. Michael would never do this to me. Michael would never abandon me here. Not after years of planning and waiting for me to finally turn eighteen. Today was the D-day. Today was everything we had hoped and planned for so I could escape the clutches of my stepfamily. He promised! Michael swore he’d save me. He would never do this to me. I cast a worried look toward the entrance. Five more minutes. Any time now, he’d burst through those doors. But when the clock chimed five minutes later and he didn’t show up, I kne

Lolly’s POV I clutched the card firmly as the elevator took me up to the penthouse. My heartbeat was irregular. My legs were nearly shaking. What the fuck am I doing? I’m not usually the kind of girl who accepts invitation from a total stranger. Granted he was a hunk I’d like to mount, but this was not me! I don’t spend nights with strangers. I was still a virgin for God’s sake. This was not the way I planned to lose my virginity. I’d blame the alcohol if I was totally wasted, but I was not. Maybe a little tipsy, but my head was clear as I rode the elevator. This recklessness must be a side effect of my breakup. Who am I keeping myself for anyway? I was finally free. I deserved a wild night after the disaster today. The elevator finally stopped and pinged. The doors opened into a long hallway. A white door stood at the end of the hallway. I walked unsteadily. I had one last chance to back away from this. I willed my legs to turn around and walk away, but they

Lolly’s POV I nearly gasped when I stepped into the ball. The beautiful interior design, lighting, the enchanting music, the guests all dressed flamboyantly made me feel like I’d just stepped into heaven. I was breathless at the beauty of it all, and thankful to Rue for forcing me here. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Some of the guests were dancing. I moved through the crowd, keeping a low profile. Even though everyone wore a mask, I was still afraid I’d run into my stepfamily. “Who do you think is Mr. Stone?” I heard some ladies behind me muster. “Do you think that’s him?” another pointed out a broad-chested man on the dance floor. “No, he is not…charming enough. I don’t think Mr. Stone’s at his own party?” Ah, I thought, the elusive Mr. Stone continues to be elusive? I meandered through the crowd, taking note of everything. Mr. Stone’s mansion was bigger than everything I’d ever seen. The walls were covered with expensive art. I stalked the li

Lolly’s POV“Why did it have to be you? It could’ve been me! I should’ve been the one. She beat me to it before I could say anything,” Mindy started to whine as soon as Mr. Stone left the house.Cindy threw her head back, laughing. “You snooze; you lose. Did you really think I was going to just stand there and let you have him? He’s a fucking billionaire! He’s mine now!”Mindy charged at her sister. “You conniving, sneaky bitch!”Their mother had to step in to stop them. “Girls, girls, it doesn’t matter who gets him. The fact is…we are in! We have a golden opportunity here and we cannot lose it. I don’t care who he chooses. Hell, you can both share him when the matter is settled. The only thing I care about is...securing his partnership. Do you understand?”The girls nodded obediently. Mindy lit up with excitement at the prospect of sharing another man with her sister. Their weird twin bond always freaked me out. Since they were kids, they had always shared everything: from clothes do

~Lolly’s POV~ Cindy threw her hands around Roman’s neck, deepening their kiss. Roman had his hands around her waist, returning her kiss with shocking passion. I felt crushed as I watched them. A pang of jealousy spread down my spine. I was too late. He wanted her. How stupid was I to think that I could crash their date and get him to remember me? We had sex one time and danced together once. It wasn’t enough to make him remember. But what if he didn’t remember because he hadn’t seen me yet? I could hear Rue’s voice in my head telling me to crash the date. I sat at the engine, thinking. This was my only chance. My last chance. Just as I was about to open the car door, my phone rang. A loud ringing that startled me. Rue. Excitedly, I pressed the green button. “Rue, I think I made a mistake!” I exclaimed as soon as I pressed the button. “That’s right. You’ve made a big fucking mistake, Lolly!” my stepmom’s voice came through the phone. Instantly, my heart dropped.
