Capturing Cinderella (English Version) Chapter 26.1: Doubt
Nathalia’s POVI looked out with a wide smile as I watched the road. I rolled down the window and let the strong wind blow my hair. I caught a glimpse of Cole’s car following us in the side mirror.“You look so happy,” Stephen remarked to me.I nodded. “Yes, I am.”I remained quietly gazing outside until I heard his deep sigh. I turned to him with a puzzled expression.“Problem?”He slightly loosened his necktie. “Don’t you really want me to accompany you and Cole inside? It’s better to be safe. What if my enemies already have their agents inside your school? Cole might not be able to protect you immediately if that happens.”I chuckled at what he said. The summer break is finally over, which means I’m back in student mode today.Stephen initially didn’t want to let me go to school. He thought it would be safer if I just studied at home. He said he would find a great professor to teach me. But of course, it’s a different feeling when you’re actually at the university.Luckily, I was a

“So, Thalia, how does it feel to be married while still a student?”I paused in the midst of taking a bite of pasta as Albert’s question caught me off guard. Their curious eyes were all on me.I couldn’t help but smile. “It’s okay. My status is the only thing that changed. He can be a bit overprotective at times, though. But I understand.”“That’s normal. Many envy Stephen, especially in business matters. So, he just wants to make sure you’re safe from those people,” Harold chimed in.I raised an eyebrow. They’re enemies of his mafia, after all.I bit my lower lip, lost in thought. Do they really have no idea about Stephen’s illegal activities?“I have a question.” I put down my fork and looked at them one by one.“Shoot,” Albert said while munching on his food. Wait, how many servings of rice did this guy order?I sighed before adjusting my seat. “How well do you know Stephen? Do you know all the businesses he’s running?”I looked at Albert, who suddenly coughed. He quickly grabbed h

Stephen’s POVI went straight to the company I manage after dropping off Nathalia. When I arrived at the office, my assistant, Jeff, stood up immediately to greet me.“Good morning, Sir Stephen. Sir Ashter and the others are already inside,” he politely informed me.I nodded at him before heading inside. I couldn’t help but shake my head as I entered, greeted by my friends, who seemed like they were just hanging out in their respective mansions.Someone was seated on my desk and in a chair, while others were playfully interacting on a long sofa off to the side.I walked irritably towards my desk, pushing Ace away from it. I forcefully made Shantel stand from the swivel chair before forcefully tapping Ashter’s propped-up foot, who was seated in front of my desk.I sat down properly before giving Ash a stern look. “I have to clean my desk again because of you. Do you know that you’re the reason it gets dirty?”He placed his right hand on his left chest and acted as if he were hurt. “You

Nathalia’s POVI was currently playing chess with a young girl whose face had remained unclear up until now when someone suddenly called out to me.“Nathalia!”I paused my thoughts and furrowed my brow as I turned towards the source of the voice.It’s him again.“Why, Tep-Tep?” Even though I couldn’t make out his face, he seemed familiar to me.He ran towards me and quickly grabbed my hand, pulling me up. “Come with me.”“Wait! Ry and I are still playing! Where are we going?” I asked him in confusion.“I just want to show you something. Let Ry be. Ley will surely challenge her again anyway.”“As if he could beat me!” Ry retorted with an arrogant tone.Before I could speak again, Tep-Tep had already pulled me away. I looked back and saw Ley take my place in an instant.I turned to Tep-Tep, irritated. “Where are we going, then?”“Just come!”I didn’t speak again and just let myself be led by him.After a while, we entered a familiar mansion and went straight to its farthest hallway.

I was about to open the door when a sudden headache hit me. I closed my eyes, accompanied by a jumble of scenes that flashed in my mind, but everything was still blurry.I gripped the doorknob tightly, trying to calm myself. However, I was startled by a commotion outside. So, when I snapped back to reality, I put aside my plan to enter the room and locked the door again.I took cautious steps as I made my way to the garden at the rear of the mansion. There, I found Cole appearing somewhat flustered while in conversation with several mafia guards.“Guard the place well, clear? If you need to stay awake all night, do it. After what happened to Sir Stephen, it’s not far-fetched for the enemies to target the mansion,” he ordered with authority.The mafia guards all nodded in unison before taking their respective positions and posts. Some of them even paused to greet me politely when they noticed me.But I couldn’t manage to say anything. The anxiety within me seemed to double due to what

Nathalia’s POVDue to what happened to Stephen, I decided not to go to school today. Even Mads is absent, as stated in the text message she sent me last night.There seems to have been a problem at the hotel where they work as part-timers. Although they are not regular employees there, I learned from her earlier that Stephen placed them there to eventually manage it. Apparently, whenever there’s any issue at the hotel, they are the ones who handle it. I think Stephen is gradually grooming them to run the business.I let out a deep sigh before glancing at my watch. It’s already two in the afternoon, and Stephen is still asleep.Well, he did sleep in this morning. Besides, it looks like he’ll be staying home all day for the first time.“Are you sure he’s really okay? Shouldn’t he be resting in the hospital instead?” I asked Cole, my concern evident.He’s sitting on the single sofa next to me, absorbed in playing with his cellphone.“Don’t worry, Madame. Sir Stephen is fine. Perhaps his

We watched in silence at the beginning. But as time went on, Stephen seemed increasingly restless in his seat. I could also hear his slightly heavier breathing and swallowing.I had been holding back my laughter for a while now. Even the urge to look up and see his reaction.“What the fuck is that movie? I thought it was an action movie?” His voice sounded exasperated.At that moment, I looked up at him innocently. “Yes, it is. The main character is a mafia boss, isn’t he?”His jaw clenched, and he shot me a pointed look. “Then why the hell are they just fucking like there’s no fucking tomorrow? There seem to be more of those scenes than gunfights and killings!”“Why? Massimo and Laura did have their share of shootouts, didn’t they?” I teased, trying to suppress my laughter. His face was turning red.It was meant to be a joke, but it seemed like he took it the wrong way.I stopped laughing when I noticed that he was staring at me seriously. I suddenly felt nervous because of the way h

Nathalia’s POVI woke up feeling light and as if I were still on cloud nine. Even though I hadn’t caught Stephen this morning, it was alright. I anticipated that he would leave early again.I woke up with a smile before getting up and peering out of the window. I warmly greeted the mafia guards stationed outside the mansion.“Good morning!”They looked up at me and nodded. “Good morning, Madame!”I chuckled at their formality. I left the window and quickly got ready for the day. Before heading out, I visited Belen, who was busy watering the plants in the garden.“You seem happy today. I hope you’ll always be this smiling,” she said, taking my hand and giving it a gentle tap.I nodded. “Exactly. Let’s have dinner together again tonight, shall we?”“You really are such a child. Now go, or you might be late for your class.”I looked down at my watch. There was only half an hour left before my first class.I bid her goodbye and left in a hurry, heading towards where my car was parked.How

Capturing Cinderella (English Version) Epilogue
TYLER woke up to the sound of his wife’s loud scream. He jolted out of bed and quickly searched for Sabrina with his eyes. He saw her lying on the floor, clutching her belly and wincing in pain. He rushed to her side immediately.“Wifey, what happened? What’s hurting?” he asked anxiously. However, his words caught in his throat as he noticed liquid flowing down her legs.“My water broke! I think I’m in labor, hubby!” She held onto his arm tightly. Her nails dug into his skin, but he paid them no mind.Tyler was at a loss for what to do. He had been about to grab their prepared items, but her screams continued to fill the room. He carefully lifted her into his arms and quickly headed out of the room. They had been sleeping in a room on the first floor for ease of access in case she suddenly went into labor.They were met by a startled Salome, who was still wiping her hands, probably from doing the dishes.“What happened? I heard Sabrina scream loudly,” she asked, her eyes moving down t

SABRINA couldn’t help but laugh when she noticed her husband’s sullen face. Today marks their second wedding anniversary. But it seems like it’s been hit by a stroke of bad luck. “Hey. You have nothing to worry about because we can still celebrate our anniversary tonight.” She cheered him up.Tyler let out a deep sigh before walking over to her and wrapping both of his arms around her waist.“I can’t help it. We are supposed to be celebrating already right at this moment. But suddenly, there was a problem in the company. Why does it have to happen on this day of all days?”She gently stroked his arm. “Let it be. What’s important is that we sort out the issue first. We can celebrate anytime.”He snorted before kneeling down and kissing her stomach.“Baby, just wait for Daddy, okay? Just behave there, alright? Don’t give Mommy a hard time. I love the both of you,” he said to their child.Tears welled up in Sabrina’s eyes. She never imagined that such a day would come. “We love you more

SABRINA blinked as she looked at herself in the mirror; she had no idea what was happening. It had only been a few minutes since Tyler left earlier, and she was taken aback when David suddenly appeared at the mansion’s door, accompanied by well-known stylists. Some of them she had even worked with before.“Wait. You still haven’t told me who sent you here or what kind of event I will be attending. Why don’t I know anything about it? I haven’t received any invitation,” she wondered aloud to the stylists.At first, she thought that her manager, Josefa, had accepted a project for her without consulting her. But when she called him earlier, he said there were none.“Just wait and see later, mamsh. For now, just sit back and relax,” said the makeup artist in a playful tone.She didn’t speak anymore and just let them continue with their work. When she tried calling her husband, his phone was turned off. So, for now, she will trust David. She’s known the man for a long time, so she knows he’

TYLER was engrossed in reading the report sent to him by Rodel when, suddenly, his car came to a halt. He was hesitant to send his friend back to work, but he was insistent.He closed his eyes and gently massaged his temples before setting down the tablet he was holding and getting out of the car. The sound of the strong waves greeted his ears from the nearby sea that was right in front of him. Because the sun was still scorching, he accepted the shades handed to him by his assistant and friend, David.“Your ex’s chosen location is pretty nice, huh? Going for the seaside restaurant vibe?” David chuckled humorlessly.Tyler looked at his friend with an expressionless face. While Rodel was quiet during work hours, his assistant David was the opposite—noisy and playful.“Shut up. Why haven’t you found a woman to love yet? So, you won’t be messing with my love life and bothering me,” he retorted, exasperated.David winced. “Man, I’ve seen enough of what you and Rodel went through because o

SABRINA remained in a daze, trying to comprehend Tyler’s words. Ever since their child disappeared, he has reverted to treating her coldly.But she understood him. What she couldn’t accept was the accusation he made against her a few weeks ago, right after they returned to the mansion from the hospital. He claimed that she deliberately and willingly allowed what happened because she wasn’t ready to have a child.She felt as if her husband had stomped on her heart, shattering it into pieces with the sharpness of his words. He didn’t even consider that it was also her child that they lost. She carried that child within her, even if it was for a short time. Above all else, she too experienced the pain of losing their baby. However, she couldn’t properly grieve because of Tyler’s cold treatment of her.After a few minutes, she finally recovered from her shock. She never imagined that her husband’s actions would lead to such a decision.With a sudden idea forming in her mind, she gently sq

TYLER raised the beer bottle he was holding before letting out a loud cheer. In the past few weeks, the bar had become like his second home, as he spent more time there than in his mansion.“Cheers!” he said before taking a big gulp from the bottle.“Ty, you’re drunk. We’ll take you home,” his assistant David intervened.“Yeah, that’s right. And Sabrina might be looking for you. It's already late, huh? I’m sure your wife is getting worried,” his secretary, Rodel, said as he tidied up the scattered empty beer bottles from the floor and gathered them on the table.Tyler shook his head and shrugged off David’s hand, who was trying to stop him, before looking at Rodel.“You should go home. Your wife needs you, especially since she just gave birth. You’re supposed to be enjoying your leave. I’m sorry for bothering you,” he insisted, shooing Rodel away.“You didn’t really bother me. Besides, Mayen’s older sibling is at home right now, so she has some company. But my wife would scold me if I

SABRINA posed gracefully, looking serious as she gazed at the camera. Today will be her final photo shoot before she completely leaves the modeling world. She didn’t want to create any major issues, so she aimed to quietly bid farewell to the world she had grown accustomed to.It had been a week since she and Tyler visited the obstetrician for a check-up. The doctor mentioned that her pregnancy was delicate, but they prescribed her vitamins and medication to support the baby’s development.“That’s it. Now, lay down slightly on the couch with your legs crossed and look in front of the camera with your parted lips. Give us your fierce look,” the photographer instructed.She immediately followed the photographer’s instructions. She carefully made her way and laid her body down slightly on the couch. She was wearing high heels. Despite not wanting to, she didn’t have any other choice. Besides, it was the last one anyway.From the corner of her eyes, she saw the manager attentively watchin

TYLER let out a frustrated curse when his assistant, David, showed him the pictures on his cellphone. He never thought that a picture of him and Tanya lurking at the bar a month ago would actually leak out.He stood up abruptly and slammed his hand on the table. “Find out who took those photos. Make sure they don’t spread any further,” he demanded, his jaw clenching as he looked at his assistant. “You already know what to do.”David nodded, “Yes, sir.” He excused himself before quickly leaving Tyler’s office.Tyler swiftly organized his things. Even though he hadn’t received a call from Sabrina about her photo shoot, he was determined to go to her immediately. He wouldn’t allow her to see those pictures. He didn’t want anything to upset her during this crucial time for both of them and their unborn child.Tyler practically flew his car to the restaurant where he left Sabrina earlier. When he arrived, he hurriedly went inside and looked for his wife.“Tyler!”He looked back to where th

SABRINA reached for Tyler’s hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Her husband was frowning, and she didn’t want to leave him while he was still upset, especially since they had just recently reconciled.“Do you still really need to go to work? I can talk to your manager, even the other companies you’re contracted with. For sure, they’ll understand once they find out that you’re pregnant,” he said with a mixture of irritation and concern in his voice.She released a deep sigh. “I can still handle it, you know. Besides, I plan to finish my other pending commitments while my baby bump isn’t too noticeable yet. Once I’m done with everything, I’ll finally take a break. I’ll also talk to Jose about that later,” she assured him.At that moment, he turned to look at her. “Fine. But please be careful, okay?” He held her hand tightly, as if not wanting to let her go.“I will,” she replied. She leaned in and planted a tender kiss on his lips before finally saying goodbye and getting out of the car.
