Midnight stared at the leaving Ryder, his gaze gentle with a hint of sadness. His eyes dropped to his right hand and as a frown appeared on his lips, he rolled up the sleeve only to reveal the bandaged wrist. A sigh from the soul breathed through his lips.

Right then his friend, who had been waiting for him in the car outside the bookstore walked over. He had seen all that happened with Midnight and Ryder, following them with a huge grin on his face like a creepy stalker observing his favorite couple being lovey-dovey. When he saw Ryder leaving and Midnight staring at his bandaged wrist, the grin on his face vanished with no trace as he frowned.

As soon as Midnight was within reach, his hand grabbed Midnight's wrist gently and pushed it down. "Don't look at it."

"It's bandaged anyway." Midnight blinked his eyes. He turned around to walk to the parked car by the side of the road.

"Does it still hurt?"

"A bit..."

The two of them got in the car and as his friend started the engine, Midni

    For some reason, Jasmine hiccupped, and to justify herself she blamed it all on Remy."Where are you going?"Jasmine didn't reply. She pushed herself away from his arms, using so much strength, Remy had no chance of holding onto her. In the end, his cute chipmunk was still stronger than him. He sighed in his heart. I have to get stronger or else when the day she will beat my ass comes, I will get disfigured. What are we going to tell our kids then?Jasmine was unaware of the future plans in Remy's head. She walked away as fast as she could, doing that awkward half-running half-walking thing. She had no desire to walk and give that rouge another chance to get hold of her. But Jasmine also didn't want to run because she was afraid that it would hurt her cute son's... ehem ehem... I mean, my cute Rem Rem's self-esteem.In her heart, Jasmine was extremely confused. Her feelings were entangled like Anna's bed hair from Frozen. Simply put, this thug couldn't come to terms with the fact that

  • Cinderella My Ass   Chapter 23.1: According to guru Remy

    Just as Ryder was about done with her dinner, a message popped up on her phone's screen. It was from Jasmine. And what that message contained was a photo and four words followed by a long string of exclamation marks.Jazz:【What is this situation!!!!!!!!!!!!!】Above that message was the photo. Ryder raised a brow and opened the photo. It was a picture of Remy sitting at the dining table at Jasmine's house. Next to him, with an arm around his shoulders, was Mr. Hasen with the biggest smile Ryder has ever seen on his face, lips parted as the photo was taken while he was talking. On the other hand, Mrs. Hasen was filling Remy's plate with all sorts of things with a devoted look in her eyes as if she was brought into this world for this sole purpose and her time had finally come.She brought him to meet her parents!!!! Ryder couldn't quite process this information. The Hasen men were so protective of Jasmine. What was going on?!Frowning slightly, Ryder wrote a short text to Jasmine.Ryde:

    She had been staring at the screen unblinkingly for quite a while when a knock against the window brought her back to reality. Jumping in surprise, Ryder looked at the window, behind which a familiar dark silhouette squatted. Maybe it was because of Remy's text... whichever one of them... or maybe because he actually came back, her Midnight returned to her... that made her heart thump in her chest in a way it had never done before. It wasn't wild or fast... it just simply skipped a bit, softening the look in her eyes, turning them into puddles of lava. It beat in such a way it made every heartbeat feel sweet and warm as if this was the first time Ryder realized how the young man in front of her made her feel. Totally forgetting about the laptop with the concerning contents on display, Ryder turned off the light in her room, only a little lamp casting a somewhat yellowish dim light in the corner of the room, and walked to the window. "Brrr, it's so cold outside." Midnight jumped insi

    Ever since Midnight started meeting his cute Ry, he had found something to look forward to every day. He would count the hours and minutes, waiting impatiently just so he could grasp that bit of happiness that Ryder's presence gave him.Then something miraculous happened, and the two of them eventually got closer and closer, more and more familiar with each other, creating an atmosphere around themselves in which Midnight wished to drown. It was a new kind of feeling that was more than happiness and he was addicted to it.It was probably because he got too accustomed to it that after being deprived of it for two weeks, he felt like a parched man dying for a drop of water, and once he found it, he couldn't have enough of it. His heart had taken control of all this body and reason had flown out of the window since he jumped into the room.Midnight had shamelessly pushed Ryder down on her bed, stolen kisses now and then, and even KISSED THE CORNER OF HER LIPS! His brain which had just st

    The next day Ryder woke up particularly early for a Sunday and dragged Jasmine to Remy's work. This was a first. Jasmine had been annoyed till she was nearly losing self-control last night by her newly announced boyfriend and her family and the last thing she wanted to do right now was to see Remy. And this was an excuse. The truth was she just had absolutely no idea how to act and what to say now that the two of them were in a relationship.But Ryder was in desperate need to analyze what happened last night so she wanted Remy's opinion. Even though the guy had dug a pit for her with that "Kiss him" advice and those cursed books, it was still better than asking Jasmine whose EQ was on the side of the negative digits. And she also wanted to scold the guy for the contents of the books.In one night, Ryder felt like she had gone from being the "adopted daughter" to stealing the position of Mama Bear from Jasmine who had turned into a little harmless puppy ever since Remy made it clear th

    "What do you mean?" Ryder asked Remy with a confused face."What books?" Jasmine asked even more confused.Remy looked at Jasmine for three long seconds then with a serious expression, lied. "The Bible."Ryder suddenly felt the urge to slap a certain someone upon hearing this answer. What Bible? That list of books has crawled its way up from hell! Who writes those stuff? Where do these people get these ideas from?The given answer made Jasmine even more confused, a furrow appearing between her eyebrows. Facing such an expression softened Remy's heart. His hand itched as it rested on top of Jasmine's curly hair. The sweet atmosphere almost choked Ryder who felt her teeth rotting from all this sweetness. Bah! The more romantic these two are, the lonelier I feel.(T-T)"I'm leaving," Ryder announced, but none of the duo seemed to hear her. This only made Ryder even more resentful. What is this treachery? Find a lover and forget your friends. Bah! Tsk tsk tsk. I shall take revenge later.

    Midnight had already gotten out of the window, squatting on the canopy. When Ryder looked out of the window, she was momentarily dazed. There was a full moon tonight and a gentle dim light fell upon Midnight, highlighting his figure. He was dressed all in black and the mask on his face looked bewitching. The skin of that bit of his face that wasn't covered by the mask looked extremely pale and soft under the moonlight.For a second, Ryder forgot how to breathe."If your parents are asleep, then why don't you sneak out from the front door?"Midnight's words snapped Ryder out of her daze."What fool sneaks out from the front door?"Can't argue with that. For some reason, Midnight knew he couldn't convince Ryder. The truth was that he was worried she would get hurt while trying t jump down the canopy, but turns out he worried for nothing.Before he knew it, Ryder had already jumped down, impatiently waiting for him in the garden.Wha~?Ryder blushed upon facing a confused Midnight who ha

    It was Monday and it wasn't unusual for people to be sleepy during class or simply not in the mood, for Mondays are that kind of a day. But for some reason, Aiden seemed to be overdoing it. He wasn't sleepy. None of the kind. However, anyone could tell from miles away that he was emitting a strong aura of "Don't fucking talk to me" scaring everyone around him to don't even sneak a glance at him. Being in such a mood made Jasmine wonder. Is he in his period?Aiden didn't know about these thoughts of Jasmine and hadn't even noticed that his sour mood had made people flee away from his away lest they get "accidentally" punched.The reason behind such mood was, of course, Ryder. This was also the reason why Jasmine noticed Aiden in the first place. The guy kept glancing at Ryder every five seconds during class, whenever they were in the hallways or during lunchtime at the cafeteria. One ought to notice being watched under such "heated" gazes. Even though Ryder was completely unaware of th

    Those three words shocked Michelle stiff. During this whole month, the drama queen's role was occupied by Henry who would wail and complain the whole time for getting his daughter stolen by a brat. However, Michelle was rather calm. Isn't it just a boyfriend? Yet only now did she realize the situation was quite serious. Where did this love come from? Wasn't it just a simple crush? What love??? No, no, no. Nobody talked about love! This is serious. Her daughter really got stolen right in front of her eyes! Unacceptable!!!!! The corner of her lips twitched. Michelle lost all desire to cook. She didn't even want to see Jake anymore. She needed time to digest all this. Wait a minute.... Does this mean she is going to meet her future son-in-law? BUT I'M TOO YOUNG TO BE A GRANDMA!

    Five minutes later, Ryder was breathing heavily, her face as red as it could get. She wanted to glare at Jake but couldn't for she also felt rather shy after that kiss... Let's say... a few sounds she had never done before came out of her and now she wanted to bury herself somewhere. On the other hand, Jake had his mood improved, and turned to his painting as if nothing happened. "That wasn't the revenge I was talking about by the way." The low pitch and somehow hoarse voice sent shivers down her spine. "Jerk," Ryder muttered at him, touching her lips. Jake only smiled even more and kept painting. "Humph!" Ryder scoffed and sat back on the bed. Trying to ignore the intense blush on her face, she brought Jake's laptop on her lap. "Can I use your laptop?" "Yeah." Ryder opened the screen of it and frowned for a second. It seemed that the last time Jake had used it, he was writing something, for the first thing that appeared once the screen turned on was a document on Microsoft Word.

  • Cinderella My Ass   Epilogue 1: Meeting the parents

    After Aiden went home that afternoon, what awaited him was a pissed-off father, with hands resting on his hips and a rather fierce look in his eyes. Mathew scolded Aiden for five hours straight, his voice not even going hoarse from all the talking, but Aiden's ears had gone numb and felt like they would bleed if he listened to his father's vicious scolding even for one more minute. His head was boiling from all that speech to the point he even felt like fainting, but all Aiden could do, was sit and patiently listen with his head lowered, bearing with this humiliating state. This happened four weeks ago. After that long ass scolding, Aiden didn't dare to say half a bad word to Jake, but that didn't stop him from glaring at his brother and Ryder every time he saw the two of them. As the days passed, the glares softened a bit, but the atmosphere between the three of them was anything but good. Still, Ryder didn't care at all. Ever since she and Jake became a pair, the unrestricted Mathe

    Before he left in the morning, Ryder finally got his phone number. Because of some certain grudges from the past she also wanted Jake to give her his email and any other social media he was on, only to remember that she wasn't on any social media herself. In the end, she could only add him on WhatsApp. He had promised to pick her up from school, so the two of them could go out for a walk."Why are you smiling like a fool?" Jasmine asked her."Huh? What?" Ryder put her phone back in her coat pocket."Why were you smiling at the phone like a fool?" Jasmine repeated, her dark eyes narrowing at Ryder. Only now did she notice that this friend of hers looked kind of strange today. Her eyes were way too... sparkling... And her cheeks were a rosy red... and her smile was a bit too bright...WHAT THE FUCK!WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY?!!!Jasmine turned around, looking around the classroom. As her eyes fell on Aiden, she felt both relieved and disappointed at the same time. In the end, she clicked

    "Did you go out in the garden? There were footprints on the snow." Henry asked before stuffing almost half of the toast that was in front of him in his mouth. Michelle looked at his vile way of eating as if he had been starved and clicked her tongue. Her upper lip curled up and her nose drew up and wrinkled as she shook her head, yet she still put more toasts in front of her husband. Gotta feed him well."I did," Ryder answered slowly, not sure if it was the right answer or not. There was no way her father had seen Jake sneaking out of her room, right? He would have grabbed his homemade sword and chased after him. Right?"Oh. Why?""I wanted to play with snow."Henry looked at his daughter as if she had grown a second head. Facing such a gaze, Ryder smiled foolishly. "It has been so long since I last saw snow...""Oh..." Henry said again. He didn't ponder over it too much though, as Michelle stuffed what was left from his toast in his mouth."Eat more, speak less."Having been fed by

    As the kiss landed on his hair, Jake realized that Ryder had kissed him twice on the lips yesterday. He had been so immersed in his worries and fear, in that rollercoaster of emotions that he let such an important thing slide.Closing his eyes, Jake hesitantly asked. "Ry.""Mm.""Did you tell me... that you like me?"In just one second all the sleepiness vanished, and now Ryder was fully awake. Awake and blushing. Yet she still tried to remain calm, her eyes closed as if the fast heartbeat wasn't betraying her at all. "I did."If it weren't for the fact that Jake could hear her heart beating faster, he would have thought she was either sleepily admitting it or she was just that cool about her feelings. The corner of his lips lifted and an unexplainable joy warmed his body from inside, spreading from his fast-beating heart to every inch of his being."I like you too."Ryder smiled. "Mhmm. I know.""Can I be your boyfriend then? I promise I will be good and will never hurt you."Ryder c

    Jake pouted. His arms wrapped tightly around Ryder's waist as a strange urge to bite into her neck overwhelmed him. "Don't make fun of me. It was embarrassing."Ryder chuckled twice, her shoulders shaking slightly. "I thought it was cute." The grip around her waist tightened even more. For a second she stopped and put herself in Jake's shoes and sighed. It truly must have been too embarrassing for him. That was the first time they met in broad daylight with no hoodies or whatever to cover his face. It was the first time they met in such a close range face to face and what happened? He was half naked looking like a kindergarten child's drawing. And he was spurting nonsense.Ryder bit the inside of her cheek and her face flushed red. He has a good body.... However, she did not dare to say that at loud. Instead, her lips pressed lightly against his cheek. "Let's go inside. It's too cold out here. You will catch a cold."Jake nodded once and stood up from the ground. Even though the air a

    Soft and hesitant footsteps sounded from behind the fence. The warm cognac eyes looked away from the cold snow and fell at a certain someone who was walking towards the fence. She saw Midnight approaching the fence with hesitant steps before jumping over it. He stopped to look up at the window of her room. The light was left on, but he was biting his lip, nervously standing in front of the fence for a few minutes, not daring to go any closer.Midnight hadn't noticed Ryder in the swing seat. He was battling himself, not knowing if he should go to her room or just leave. His cold hands were trembling slightly and his lip hurt from all the biting, yet he didn't want to stay and didn't want to leave. In the end, Midnight simply remained frozen in place.Seeing him not having any intentions of coming to meet her, Ryder could only smile sadly. She raised her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, before speaking. "Aren't you going to see me tonight?"The voice was low and tend

  • Cinderella My Ass   Chapter 27.1: The first snow

    After Ryder came back home, she was completely in a daze. What happened back in Aiden's house had left her muddled. Even though she didn't show it back then, or on the way home, for she was that kind of person who would be able to calmly react to unexpected situations, like the night she first met Midnight proves, after everything was over and she was far away from the said situation, Ryder felt like her head would explode.She opened the front door slowly as if she had no power left, which almost scared Henry shitless. The strong reactions her father had seemed to have brought her back to reality and Ryder stared at her worried parents. During her whole life, there were times when she would feel lucky to have them but never had she felt it as strongly as now."I'm okay. I'm just tired." Ryder sighed and went upstairs to her room after giving both Henry and Michelle a warm smile that instead of putting them at ease, worried them to death. Once Ryder was in her room, Henry turned to his
