Cinderella's Revenge 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 28

~Roman’s POV~I thought it was a lie. Surely, Lizzy wouldn’t do this. Surely, Lizzy wouldn’t kidnap and chain Lolly to the basement. But there she was – lying on the floor, all bloodied and roughed up. “Lolly, are you okay?” I dashed into the room, running for her. Her skin was bruised, bloody with scratches from long nails running along her face. I couldn’t bear to see her like that, so wounded, so terrorized. The chain around her legs was the final straw. Cindy and her sister had run into the room. “Baby, what are you doing here?” Cindy asked feigning ignorance. I was so angry at myself. Why didn’t I see this side of her before? When Lolly was telling me everything they had done to her, it was incredibly hard for me to believe Cindy could ever do this but seeing it for myself was a whole different ballgame. “I don’t know how she got there,” Cindy volunteered without me even asking. She was a goddamn good liar. “You fucking bitch, you did this to me!” Lolly erupted. She must’v

~Roman’s POV~ “Man, you're the only one who can get away with breaking off your former engagement to wed your ex-fiancee's stepsister in less than a month!” my best friend, Miles, teased. Tonight was my second engagement party. This time, to Lolly. The actual light of my life. It didn't feel like a contract marriage. Like an agreement reached to benefit both of us. It felt real. It felt right. It felt like she was the one I was always meant to be with. It didn't seem like a mistake at all. “I mean…you're out of your mind practically marrying a stranger just because you looked in her eyes once and fell in love,” Miles continued. *You don't understand. It's different.”“The Roman Stone I know was allergic to long-term commitments, remember? Boy, back in college, you wouldn't even commit to a girl for a week and now you're actually going through with it? Or do I expect to hear you canceled this engagement for someone else next week!?” Miiles asked. Miles was the only person in the

Roman’s POV I fell, breathless, on the bed. My body was stick. The sweet scent of sex pervaded the air. Beside me, Lolly’s breasts caught my eyes. Instantly, a renewed burning desire to caress them filled me again. But before I could do anything, a loud pounding came on the door, startling us. Rue. “Lolly, are you okay? The party’s waiting for you!” Rue’s voice came from outside. “Shit, shit, shit! I ruined my makeup! Oh my God,” Lolly said, scrambling away from the bed. “I meant it, you know. Earlier when I said you could cancel the party, I meant it,” I said. She paused for a second. “I know but…all those people came all this way. We should, at least, try. Plus, I really don’t want to start out this relationship by canceling our engagement party. It’s supposed to announce us to the public, right? Lizzy would nothing more than to hear we canceled the engagement. I can’t give her that satisfaction,” she siad. I pulled myself up from the bed. My eyes roamed all over her

Lolly’s POV Rue held my hands as we entered the luxury club. My feet wobbled. I was pumped full of insecurity. All eyes were on us as we entered. Rue carrying an expensive designer bag that she couldn’t afford two years ago; and me rocking a diamond ring that glittered in the sun. We had changed so much. Yet, it was obvious we didn’t belong to this club. Our wealth did not seem natural but Rue was not bothered by it as I am. To her, she had earned her way into high society and she intended to keep it that way. “They’re all staring,” I whispered to Rue. She merely smiled. “Yeah, they are looking at the girl that usurped Cindy. Of course, you are hot in the club.” I could hear the whispers behind us as we took a seat at Rue’s reserved table. I heard women usually paid an absurd amount for a table at the club. I hadn’t paid yet so I was sitting with Rue. I had to meet with Hazel first to get her approval. If Hazel did not approve me, I would not be allowed to enter the club e
