Capturing Cinderella (English Version) Chapter 19: Truth Or Dare
Nathalia’s POVI stayed in the resort’s infirmary for a few hours before the nurse finally allowed me to leave. I couldn’t help but feel regretful, as it was already dark outside when I got out. Because of what happened, I wasn’t able to make the most of my stay here, and we’re heading back home tomorrow.We’re currently having dinner in one of the huts here, which is close to the beach. Chicken with creamed corn, Tortellini, Slow cooker shrimp boil, Creamy pesto chicken, and vegetable salad are served on our long table. There are also a few bottles of red wine on the side.“Hey, take it easy on the food. Don’t let them see that you’re starving,” Harold teased Albert, who was eating enthusiastically.“Exactly. It’s like you haven’t eaten for days, huh? Even though you practically finished all of our snacks earlier,” Damon teased further.Albert was about to retort when he suddenly choked. Damon quickly handed him water. Just as Mads was about to pat his back, Damon slapped her hand aw
Capturing Cinderella (English Version) Chapter 20.1: Hide And Seek
Nathalia’s POVThree days have passed since we went to Stephen’s family’s private resort. But until now, I have been troubled by his response to the question I threw at him.“Because I love you.”I let out an exasperated sigh as I stared at the ceiling. I’ve been awake since earlier, but I still can’t bring myself to get up.After he answered that night, he quickly stood up and left. We didn’t get to finish the game, and we silently retreated to our respective rooms. Even during the journey back home, not a word was exchanged between us. I couldn’t even confront Damon and Mads anymore due to the absurd questions thrown at them by Harold and Albert.Since that day, Stephen hasn’t shown me any affection. We’re in the same house, sharing the same bed, but I feel like he’s not really there.I should be happy. Because aside from not talking to me anymore, he’s also letting me do the things I want. As long as I’m always with Cole.But I don’t know why sadness is slowly engulfing me.I knew

After everyone introduced themselves, we headed straight to the garden for breakfast. My stomach grumbled at the enticing aroma of coffee. Adding to that, there was an omelet, hotdogs, ham, and fried rice laid out on the table.As we started eating, Stephen’s friends were still fooling around, and he could only shake his head in response.We were almost finished eating when someone suddenly spoke from behind me. I was facing away from the direction of the door.“Yo, what’s up?”I almost dropped the cup I was holding when I heard Harold’s familiar voice. My eyes widened as I turned to see who it was.“Nathalia!”I quickly stood up and was embraced by Mads.“Hey! What are you guys doing here?” I asked in surprise. They really liked surprising me with their visits.“We heard that the gang was here, so we decided to come over.” Damon grinned, referring to Stephen’s friends.I looked around at them. Does that mean they’re friends with these weirdos too?“Hey! You guys walk fast!” Liam sudd
Capturing Cinderella (English Version) Chapter 21.1: Charity Ball
Nathalia’s POVI sighed as I stared at the white envelope containing an invitation from Stephen’s friend, Oliver Garcia. I had just finished reading it, and both Stephen and I were invited to a charity ball organized by his family at a hotel.To be honest, I wasn’t sure how I should feel about it. The purpose of the charity ball was to aid street children and elderly individuals in nursing homes. However, as Stephen informed me, many of the attendees were members of an underground society.Given that, I couldn’t help but wonder if the event was merely a cover for their illegal activities.My thoughts were interrupted when the door suddenly opened and Stephen walked in. I furrowed my brow as I noticed he was carrying two large boxes.“Wear this for the event later. I’ll be waiting for you outside. Just be ready in an hour.”“Do I really have to come along?” I asked him before he fully exited the room. He remained facing away from me.I was accustomed to attending various types of celeb
Capturing Cinderella (English Version) Chapter 21.2: Charity Ball
After a few more moments of catching up, Stephen and I decided to take our seats. I rarely get to spend time with Mom, so I was glad he granted my request.“Are you surprised?” he whispered to me as we sat down.I turned to him with a smile. “I really am. Thank you.”We started chatting with Mads while sipping wine from our glasses. Occasionally, Liam would join in. But most of the time, Dad and Stephen were engrossed in business talk.We were laughing when my attention was drawn to the other table. Ashter had a scowl on his face, seemingly annoyed by his brother Rhyz’s teasing. Ryza and Riley were both engrossed in their phones, probably playing a mobile game. Meanwhile, Amelia was busy patting Ace’s back; he already seemed quite intoxicated. Amelia seemed to be advising him to stop, but he continued drinking anyway.My forehead furrowed as I noticed that Oliver and Shantel were no longer around. I quickly scanned the area and saw them talking to each other not too far away. It seeme
Capturing Cinderella (English Version) Chapter 22.1: Fall For You
Nathalia’s POVMy head and eyes were hurting when I woke up the next day. I could hardly sleep last night because of what Stephen said. Thankfully, he left early today.Honestly, I don’t know how I would face him if the opportunity arose.I’m afraid that my own heart might betray me. Because with each passing day, I feel it slowly weakening and falling for him.That can’t be.We didn’t talk anymore until we got home last night. But he held my hand throughout the journey while his other hand was on the wheel. As much as I wanted to remove it, I couldn’t. No matter how much I denied it, I knew within myself that I found comfort in that simple gesture.It almost made me forget that the man beside me at that time was my kidnapper. How I wish that we had met in different circumstances.I yawned as I descended the stairs. Some of Stephen’s men, whom I passed by, greeted me formally.I responded with a smile and a nod. Somehow, the nervousness I used to feel whenever I saw them had disappear
Capturing Cinderella (English Version) Chapter 22.2: Fall For You
It’s been over a month since I arrived at the mansion. But until now, I haven’t really explored it much.So I decided to wander around this afternoon. I don’t have much else to do anyway. My friends are busy, and so is Liam. And I’m sure my parents are at the company.Almost every hallway I pass has paintings hanging on the walls. It seems that the Andersons are fans of paintings as well.I couldn’t help but feel a sense of melancholy. It reminded me of my biological mother and how she loved to paint.This mansion has three floors, and each floor has more than three rooms. Stephen mentioned to me once that sometimes his friends stay over and use some of these rooms. Perhaps they occupy most of the rooms here.But I was brought to a halt when I reached the far end of the mansion. There was something that caught my attention.I approached it slowly, and I was right in my assumption. There was a staircase leading down to a basement.I scanned the surroundings and noticed there weren’t an
Capturing Cinderella (English Version) Chapter 23.1: Love Me Like You Do
Nathalia’s POVMy eyes automatically closed the moment our lips met. He lifted me up, which made me encircle my arms around his neck and wrap my legs around his waist. His hands went down on my butt, supporting my weight.Our lips were still locked to each other the moment he started to walk. In a snap of a finger, I suddenly found myself lying on our bed.His kisses were aggressive, as if he was longing for this moment to happen. He then bit my lower lip, which made me moan. We were both catching our breath the moment he pulled away. I opened my eyes and found him already staring at me.“I love you, Nathalia.”This is the second time that he has said those words directly. Still, his voice sounds so sincere that it makes my heart flutter. Since the very first time those words slipped out of his mouth up until now, nothing has changed in the way he said them.God. I still can’t believe that this guy really loves me. I was trying really hard to stop the foreign feeling that’s starting t
