Cinderella POV. I left and walked back toward our class, to the little class, I felt like a cold bucket of water has fell over my head, my whole body was frozen, and I was working on autopilot. For a minute I started to forget who I really was, I lived through the life of Ella, I believed I was Ella, the girl with a guardian angel and two brothers, the one who went to school with her daddy, the one she was falling in love with. That was Ella, that was a dream that would never come true, I was Cinderella, not Ella, I'm the princess with the bad luck, I'm the princess who was never been and never could be. I'm not a princess, I'm a girl with bad luck, one who was cheated on, who was lied to, and was left alone, it happened the first time with Benjamen, and then he died, I was glad he died and left me alone, I didn't want to stay with him, such a toxic person. But I can't hope that Nickolai dies as well, I can't leave my future to luck, chance, or was it destiny. I believe in destiny
Cinderella POV. "It hurt," I tell Pauly as I cried still holding him, refusing to let him go, I didn't want to let him go, I'm in pain. "Hey, hey, it's fine," Pauly assures me, hugging me tight and waiting for me to calm down. "Hey, mommy, Sir, can we have a sleepover?" Pauly asks for the two of us, and I nod, yeah I want to stay with him away from Nikolai, the cheater."It's fine with me boss, I can keep an eye on them both, they'll have fun," Lilith says. "Me come too?" Wissa asks us, looking at me and giving me her puppy eyes, how the hell does Raphael says no to her, I can't say no to those eyes. "Yeah, can she come?" I add, she'll probably sleep early and I'll get my time to talk with Pauly."Fine you can come but you better behave for me Lyssa," Lilith warns her and she nods her head yes. "Let's wrap this class up and you can all get home with me," Lilith says happily. "Yeah, let's go," I say holding her hand and getting away from Nikolai. "I'll get you her bag," he says
Cinderella POV. "Wooo...Awoooo...WeeeWoooo....Awoooo..." Wissa says running around feeling very active, I shouldn't have given her coffee, but it's too late right now and she's feeling extra active. "Sorry," I say to Lilith, she's the one who got to keep an eye on Wissa and a very active Pauly now. Pauly is less scary, he stands on the sofa, counting one, two but never jumping, instead he's just giggling. "It's fine, it'll be easier to put them to bed this way, how about we take them on a walk before dinner and we can have another coffee," she offers, the only reason I'm being nice right now is that she offered me extra coffee, and I love coffee, I can be big for coffee. "I'll go," I say ready to drink another coffee right now, she went and made us two big travel mugs, she then turned to the running Wissa, she got a little leash, it's one that goes around the torso, and hold on back, she slipped it on her. "Come on pup, come here little one," she says picking Pauly in her arms,
Cinderella POV. "Are you okay? Did you talk it out with Lilly?" he asks me, but I just smile at him. "I told her enough," I say, I didn't want to tell her much, I want to talk to him, I trust him but I don't know how much I trust her. "You good?" he asks me and I nod my head yes, assuring him, I'm fine, Lilith came back with the little pup, laying over her shoulder, feeling very tired I guess from all the running. "Come on guys, let's go eat and get ready to sleep," Lilith says holding Pauly's hand and walking all of us toward the cafeteria, Nickolai was there, but I did my best to avoid him, I'm having a sleepover, true we started early, but we are having a sleepover. "Don't you wanna sit with me? Talk to me at least?" he asks me giving me puppy eyes, the eyes of a traitor, I shook my head no at him. "Ella, use your words," he says getting angry at me, but he had no right to be angry at me I'm the angry one here, I'm the one who got cheated on and is now very hurt the cause of
Nickolai POV. I'm not mad, I'm fucking furious, how did all of this happen, it wasn't meant to happen, it's really bad, terribly bad, and I can't do anything about it right now, she's refusing to talk to me, she doesn't even want to sit with me, or sleep in my room, she prefered Lilith over me and now she's sleeping in her room instead of mine. I called a damn meeting, everyone should be here, this is a fucking emergency, Ella was so near slipping, I swear she slipped when I had her going down for her nap, but then something broke in her, she didn't want to be a little anymore. "What did you do to her! You did something! She saw something!" Lilith yells at me, she's even angrier than me about this. "Saw something? What did she see?" I ask her, Ella was in class, she was sleeping, and then when I came she was out, she was weird. "I don't know you tell me, boss! What did you do to her!" Lilith yells at me, she knows better than to yell at me while I'm in such a bad mood, doesn't sh
Cinderella POV. Where are you going Lilith, I think to myself following her out of her room, I was bored and I'm alone, I want to get out of here, so I decided to follow her. I kept a good distance between the two of us, making sure she won't notice me behind her, for a demon lord, she doesn't pay that much attention to things behind her, that includes me. She went toward the headmistress's office, is she going to ask Madame M. about Paul? Or me? Or I don't know, something. I didn't walk in, of course, I stayed back eavesdropping on her chat, I might have to report back to Pauly, he needs to know if it's something about him. I didn't have to stand very close to hear them talking, it was the voices I expected, it wasn't Madame M and Lilith, instead, it was a mix of other voices that I didn't expect to be here, I think I walked on them having a meeting. I heard the voice of Nickolai, my said cheater dom, and Miss Blair my teacher, along with Sir Nicholas, my favourite teacher and chara
Nickolai POV. "Boss...my sweet boss, I love you," Lilith says meeting me halfway through the dorms, I raised a brow at her, what is she talking about? She left the office not so long ago and now she's back telling me she loves me? Lilith doesn't love me, she respects me as her boss and king, but she doesn't love me, maybe she's happy that I finally gave her Pauly, but not enough to say she loves me, especially not after the scolding I received from her. "What happened?" I ask Lilith knowing something was up, there's no other reason for her to be nice to me right now, maybe Pauly talked Cinderella into becoming his permanent sister and they want to take her and the answer is a clear no. "Don't kill me," she says, good she remembers I can kill her and I might do it if she pushes me too far. "I won't, what's wrong?" I ask her, I'm not in a killing mood right now, she's safe for now at least. "Well, Ella isn't in bed," she says looking everywhere but at me. "And why not?" I ask with
Cinderella POV. "Where am I," I say out loud more to myself than to anyone else, it's just me in this ash desert, I had no one to talk to, I was even thinking about going back to the school, but I didn't know the way back even. I kept on walking but my legs started to hurt, and I couldn't walk anymore, I think I'd hit the same wall Wissa hit earlier today when the coffee's effect left her body. I sat down on the ground not caring where I'm anymore, I'm really tired, and kind of sleepy, but I was worried if I sleep I won't wake up again, but would it be so bad if I slept and didn't wake up again? "He kicked you out," a teasing voice says from behind me, but it's also a very familiar voice, one that I do recognize, when I looked back I couldn't find the voice owner. "Who's there?" I yell out trying to find who's there but the voice only laughs at me, they laughed. I was scared, I ignored the pain I was just feeling in my limbs and I got up again, I started to run again, I was tryin
Cinderella POV. I think my anger and depression are shifting, they are mixing and playing tag in my head and soul, I'm so angry at him, and at the same time I'm really sad, I want to see Lucifer or Nickolai, I want to see him and talk this through."Calling him, are you sure Ella, you're sad and angry and filled with caffeine, maybe sleep on it," Lilith suggests. "Call him or I will find a way to get his attention," I answer her with a growl, and a glare, I'm back to being very angry right now. "He's not very calm either, we don't want you two to fight," Lilith says."He should be afraid of my anger, not the other way around," I answer her with a cold smile on my face. "I'll go talk to him first okay, stay with her Paul, don't leave the room or else," she warns us leaving the room, and going to fetch him."You don't have to talk to him now, maybe calm down first," Pauly suggests. "I don't want to calm down Paul, I'm not going to calm down, I want to leave back home," I say a lone
Cinderella POV. "Ella, Cinderella, big sister," I woke up to that voice along with being shaken awake, I opened one eye and looked to my side, it was Pauly, my angel, at least he wasn't taken away from me, I pulled him toward me, hugging him tightly. "Pauly," I whisper crying into his shoulder. "Hey, hey, it's okay, you're okay," Paul assures me hugging me tight, and petting my back, I woke up crying, tears going down my face. I'm in hell, I'm with Lucifer, and I have an angel who's in hell with me, I have no idea what to do in my life anymore, I want to leave, I want to get back home, I don't want to stay here anymore. "Is Wissa okay?" I ask him, remembering her being in trouble for going to save me. "She's fine Lilith gave her a timeout and that's it, they were all worried about you, I was worried about you, why did you leave without me?" he asks me. "I found something out, but did you know? I need coffee then we'll talk," I say wiping my tears, I just woke up, and I have a t
Cinderella POV. "What are you two doing out here?" a new person asks he's dressed in a military suit, he looks like some kind of badass protection service. "We're out looking for the princess," Pauly answers him as I kept on crying, I didn't have anything else to do right now, just cry, more tears going down my face. "The king won't like this," the guard says. "I'm her guardian angel, it's my job to keep her safe," Pauly tell the guy, but he didn't look very happy about this. "And what about her, where do you belong to?" he growls at Wissa, who cowered back behind me. "I belong to Lilith, and I'm her friend," Wissa says trying to sound strong but her voice was trembling. "I'm sure Lilith would skin you alive for being here," the guy says with an evil laugh, I turned to him with a glare, who does he think he is? Coming here and threatening my friends. "Let's go princess," he says taking hold of my arm, trying to drag me with him, but I just ran away from the king of hell, and g
Pauly POV. "Wake up, Pauly, time to wake up," I woke to someone poking me, I expected it to be Cinder, she likes waking me up like that, poking me until I wake up. I don't sleep well during the night, most days I stay awake through the night, or I'll just sleep a couple of hours and then wake up, but today I had coffee and a sugar rush followed by sugar crush. I slept in, or maybe not really in, I slept through the night, and it's much more than I usually do, I looked to my side, expecting it to be my ward, Cinder, Cinderella, my friend. "Wissa?" I ask looking at her confused, why is she here sleeping next to me and not Cinder, but then I remembered what happened, we were having a sleepover, it's why she's here next to me. "Wake up, it's an emergency," Wissa says and I sat up looking at her, what's the emergence? What's wrong? She wasn't feeling little right now, I could see that in her eyes and the way she was talking to me. "What's wrong?" I ask her, looking at her worried abou
