Cinderella's Revenge 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

~Lolly’s POV~ A sudden ringing went off in my ear. The hairs on the back of my neck stood erect. Immediately, I knew something was wrong. Something had gone horribly wrong. It was there in the inflection of her tone, the casual relaxed way she mentioned it, the snickers from my stepsisters. “What do you mean? What happened to my inheritance?” I questioned harshly. That inheritance was the only hope I had. The only thing my father had left for me. Lizzy and her daughter had stolen everything else! My home, my joy, my parents’ belongings. Except for a few things I managed to squirrel away, I had almost nothing left. “I think you should probably settle down, Lolly and watch the way you speak to me!” Lizzy erupted. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. “Dad’s will was pretty clear on the handling of the trust fund. I know exactly what he told me.” Lizzy chuckled. “Oh, you are a wannabe lawyer now?” “Just tell me what happened to my money!” “I had to use it to

~Lolly's POV~ He paced closer, closing the distance between us. "I dream about you. I wake up to memories of your face." "Don't!" I whispered in a broken voice, taking a step back. My stomach knotted. Clammy sweat beads appeared on my forehead. There was nowhere to escape to. I ran smack into the sink behind me. I grasped fruitlessly for something to hold onto. He was strangling every space and air between us. I couldn't run. I couldn't breathe. He pursued me. "You don't understand." I put up a hand to stop him, to protect myself. "I don't care. Okay!?" His eyes flickered a bit. His lustrous lashes batting. He stepped my way, pinning me against the sink. "You really don't understand," he whispered. I gasped, my breath stalling somewhere inside my throat. He was too close, impossible to resist. "Please stay away from me," I muttered. The words barely came out of my throat. I was desperate to get him as far away from me as possible because I didn't trust m

~Lolly's POV~ Roman’s house was still as gorgeous as I remembered with expensive art works lining the walls, beautiful furniture in the high-ceilinged rooms. Uniformed butlers opened the door for us as we walked in. “Welcome home, Mr. Stone,” the oldest butler said, eying me suspiciously. “Um, Miss??” he questioned curiously. There was no hostility to his expression and demeanor but I shrunk nevertheless. I was still unused to being around such wealth, such scrutiny and I recalled from my days of housekeeping for my step family that the domestic staff were usually the most judgmental. “Thank you, Xavier. This is Lolly Roberts. She’ll be spending the night,” Roman said authoritatively. “Of course, sir,” Xavier replied instantly. “I didn’t say anything about spending the night,” I piped up sassily. He’d basically kidnapped me from Rue’s house. I had suggested going to a public space so I could explain my situation with my step family, but all he wanted to do was bring

~Lolly's POV~ Roman and I were stunned into silence at first. My jaws dropped wide open. No, no, no, it can’t be. She can’t be pregnant. “That’s right, I wanted to tell you before the wedding. To surprise you,” Cindy pressed on. Roman was frigid next to me. He barely even moved. I stuttered speechlessly. Not sure of what to say. I felt defeated. She had to win every time, huh? Cindy rubbed her belly. “Baby, we’re gonna be a family. You can’t break us up. Our child deserves to have a home, don’t you see? You can’t let this jezebel come in between us!” she continued. I slipped away from Roman’s grasp. I knew exactly what his response would be. Any man would throw me to the curb and embrace his new family. Who would want to break up his new home? “Congratulations, Cindy, you got what you wanted. You win again!” I said, trying to walk away. Suddenly, Roman grabbed my hand, pulling me back. “Don’t make a move. Stay here!”Turning to Cindy, he said. “Come with me!” I watched

~Roman’s POV~ My assistant, Dara, opened the door cautiously. “Sir, your wedding caterer is requesting to speak to you.” I blinked, dispersing the thoughts of Lolly that had flooded my memory. “What?” Dara stepped into the office, files in her hand. “The wedding caterer, sir. She wants to speak to you about the menu. Apparently, she can’t reach your wife or her family!” I glanced at my phone. Something’s wrong. Cindy was not blasting my cellphone with calls and texts. Usually, she’d blow up my phone even if she felt a little threatened. And now that I’d called the wedding off? Nothing? It was strange. And where was Lolly? I hadn’t heard a word from her since last night, too. My body missed her desperately. Seriously, I didn’t think it was possible to miss a total stranger but for the past three years, she’d occupied every inch of my mind. My nose craved her scent. My arms longed to hold her tight. My dick yearned for her warmth and my mouth desired to taste her again.
