KIERANI and Erik went to the village on our horses to catch some fresh air. The village was just a small space with about thirty houses clustered around, so getting around it wasn't a difficult task.We decided to go through the market area where Erik was certain of seeing the most beautiful women. Kieran agreed hoping to find better picks from the ordinary folks since the ones his father brought were nothing to write from.When we got to the market, there were women alright, but they were nothing like I had imagined. they had normal breasts or abnormally larger ones. Nothing that could make my manhood throb or even get me excited. They were as ordinary as the ladies and royals my dad paraded to me."Can you spot that woman by the dress shop?" Erik whistled, turning his horse to get in the direction...I rolled my eyes as it landed in the direction he had pointed out. The woman he spoke of wasn't even beautiful. She had very large breasts and an even larger face, that could instantly
ELLAThe market was one of the few places I enjoyed going to. The multiple colors lured me in. They welcomed me. In the market, I didn't feel like an orphan, I felt human.I felt free, just like a bird.I quickly went through my stepmother's long list of groceries. I took my time to make sure I got all the items she had scribbled in her list, skipping all the materials and dresses. I always saved them for last because that was where I spent most of my time whenever I went to the market.As soon as I was done with the groceries I went to the dressmaker's shop."Good morning Mary!" I greeted as I stepped into the shop."Ella! What can I get you today?" Mary said bouncing with excitement as she went towards the open window.Mary was a woman with very large breasts and an even larger behind, people thought she went into dressmaking because no one could actually make a dress that could fit her body except herself."I just want one dress and some lingerie, may I see your collection?" I aske
KIERANDays have passed since I saw that beautiful maiden. I even started thinking she was just a figment of my imagination for everyone I asked, said they didn't know her. I only got her name but even that changed at every stall I asked.Some said her name was Cinderella. Others said it was Cindy and the rest insisted it was Ella.It was becoming a large lump in my heart that I couldn't relieve. I had to find her. I had to have her.The door to my room opened unceremoniously and even without checking I could bet it was my father."Kieran, what is this I am hearing of you constantly going to the market these days?" He demanded as soon as he got to the room."It's nothing important," I said not wanting to hear a lecture from him. The last thing I needed was for someone to tell me, she didn't exist. I was already thinking of the possibility but I wouldn't be able to take it If someone else said it to me."Good. Since it's nothing important. I have something important for you to spend so
ELLA"Ella!"I heard Giselle call me from outside the garden and I cleaned my hands going to attend to her. My punishment had just started, I didn't want anything that could make my stepmother have extra days for my torment."Yes, Giselle..." I said as I got to her."I found this in the shopping bag and it doesn't fit! Who did you get it for?" She demanded and my brain turned over in confusion."Giselle, I don't know what you speak of..." I said.She was putting on a short bedroom robe that barely covered her butt. She dipped her hand in the pocket of the robe and brought out a red pants."What is this!" She screeched and my eyes almost fell out of my sockets.If my stepmother saw this then I would be in even more trouble than I was a few days ago. After the beating, my stepmother gave me I was so tired and shaken up, that I forgot to pull out the red lacy lingerie I got for myself in Mary's shop."Giselle, please don't shout like that. Give it to me, " I begged as I searched around u
ELLAThat night I couldn't sleep. My heart was shattered. I had finally realized why none of my father's friends came to visit me a few months after my father's death. My stepmother told them I was dead!"Why?" I cried into my pillow. Why did she have to be so cruel?I didn't even want the Prince, all I wanted was to be free from her clutches!I had prayed every night for one of my father's friends to come to take me away. And now I understood why none of them ever came back for me. My stepmother had lied to them. She had lied to the entire kingdom about me.Everyone thought I was dead!As I cried into my pillow, I felt Ricky's feathers behind my neck as it tried to console me. I took sniffed and raised my head and it flew in front of me chirping in a beautiful melody I recognized as one of my mother's songs. The song was about determination and not giving up in the face of trouble."Oh, Ricky, you are so thoughtful, " I exclaimed wiping my tears with the back of my sleeves. There wa
KIERANThe palace was very lively. Workers moved in and out as everyone hurried to put in the last touches on their assigned tasks for the main event.The ball was tomorrow and try as I may, I couldn't get my mind off it. I knew I would finally get to meet the angel I met in the market a couple of days ago and then —maybe I would be lucky to find the one person that could give me the pleasure I craved for."What can a man do to have a smile as bright as yours?" Erik's voice drove me back to reality and I stared at him from my seat in the throne room."Erik, I thought you were out of town for a few days?" I asked him "Oh, one of my wives fell ill, I had to come to take care of her. So are we still doing this because of that strange maiden in the market or is it something else?" Erik asked and from the corner of my eyes, I could see my father straining his ears to pick up my answer to the question."Erik can you at least try to keep your voice down?" I whispered hoping my father woul
ELLAIt's finally the big day —the day of the ball."Cinderella!" My stepmother screamed as I scurried through the cottage with a large pile of hats in my hands."Yes, mama!" I responded my voice sounding muffled under the pile that threatened to push me over."Where are the hats!?" She screamed even louder, thankfully I was already in her room."It's right here, mama!" I replied dumping them on the bed for her to choose.She held the first one with two of her fingers, making sure her hand didn't brush it."Good. You may leave, " she said dismissing me with a wave of her free hand as she started testing the pile of hats on the bed like they had worms attached to it.I had to run into the basement searching for all the hats I could find only for her to go through the pile like she didn't need them. I could have protested if I wanted trouble. But I needed to be on my best behavior so she would take me with her to the as she had promised."Thank you, mama, " I whispered as I ran out of h
ELLAMy stepmother drew closer and stopped right in front of me. She started going around me, circling me like a predator.My heart was beating so loud, that it almost flew out of my chest."What do we have here, " she whispered to herself and I held my breath."Cinderella, isn't this the bedspread I asked you to thrash last season?"This time, my heart stopped.But before I could answer, I heard the sound of tearing fabric and I looked around me wondering where it came from until I saw a large piece of my dress in her hands."You never trashed it, did you?"Again, she tore through another piece and my dead heart went with it."Mama, what are you doing?" I whimpered as I tried to protect my dress."I am doing what I should have done long ago!"She started tearing out my dress from my body bits by bits."Mama, please stop!" I begged as tears spilled from my eyes but everything I said fell on deaf ears.I fell to the floor in tears and she continued to tear through the pieces till I was
“Mish! Get your ass down, dinner is ready,” my younger sister, Evelyn, shouted from downstairs. I came back from school three hours ago and I’ve been on my bed sulking and constantly resisting the urge to scream at the top of my voice.Mrs. Shantel and Mr. Brett? How long has that been going on under my nose? I stalked Mr. Brett well enough to have known. I sat up swiftly and stretched my hand to pick my phone from my nightstand. Impatiently, I logged into Instagram.Pfft, of course I’m not on Instagram. I logged in with my sister’s account. Being bullied offline is only the much I can bear, thank you very much.It didn’t take me much time to get to Mr. Brett’s profile. I stared at his relationship status and it stared back at me. It was boldly written SINGLE. Just to be sure, I wore my glasses and glanced hard at it. It still remained SINGLE. I searched for Mrs. Shantel’s profile and found out that she was married.“Then why the hell were you fucking someone not your husband!!” I scr
It was the early hours of Monday morning, 6:00am to be precise, and I was already in the cobwebby school basement, tucked away in the only neat corner. Of course, the neat corner of the basement, which I had turned into my niche, was cleaned up by me. You must definitely be wondering what kind of psycho cleans up the school basement to spend her mornings and what for! Well, to cut the long story short, it was my only means of survival. If I wanted to get through my remaining days in high school, then I had to do this. This was me doing what I did best, hiding away from my sworn enemy, traitor, rival, tormentor, give it all the name you could think of. Synonymous to those names is Kelly Parker. Kelly is the Queen bee of Beverly High. I hate her with all my heart, but she’s beautiful. Breathing-taking kind of beautiful, I’m not going to lie. I just hate her the more for that, because why should she be so perfect? Of course, she is the head cheerleader and she is dating Bruce Paschal,
Ariel's POV For two days after that, I waited for the man to show himself. It was almost like he purposely ignored me. When I realized that he wouldn't show himself unless something drastic happened, I waited for the guard that brought my food -food I refused to eat since I've been held in here- to appear. The moment he rounded the corner that led to my cell, I yanked off the pendant from my neck. I went instantly invisible. When the guard reached the cell and saw no one, the tray containing the food fell off his hands, and he let out a scream. Two more guards rushed in, probably thinking I managed to subdued their colleague. When they saw what he saw, they all trembled out of shock. "Report the incident to prince Eric right now!" One of the guards yelled to the other one that came in with him. That one nodded and rushed off to deliver the message. The guard turned to the one that brought me the food, looking at him in a suspicious way. "Did you let her off?" He asked."What the he
Ariel's POVIt felt like my ears just deceived me. I blinked once, then twice. I looked at the man who had just finished pleasuring me -the tingles and soreness between my legs were the testament of that fact- like he was out of his mind. And perhaps he was. Otherwise, why would he sprout such nonsense about arresting me? And that too for what? For stealing? Me?I looked at him and shook my head. Sure that I heard him wrong. I waited for him to take his words back, but he didn't. When a minute or two passed with nothing from him to refute his words, I lifted up my tied hands and tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The eyes he turned on me were so cold and stony, I shivered."Are you serious about arresting me?" I inquired from him. The river made a ripple effect and I was reminded of the fact that I was gone for too long. If I didn't return back to my room as soon as possible, there was every possibility that my father would find out about my disappearance. It that happen
Eric's POV "The real thing I have here could do a better job than that toy!" I shouted at her from the shadows. I watched as the toy fell from her hand because of the shock she experienced."Wh-who is th-there?" She sounded as scared as she felt. I saw her looking around in the darkness, probably thinking of where to hide from the predator that sneaked up on her. My first thought was to let her suffer a sudden heart attack, just as she had done for me. That would be the easiest revenge I could take on her. But my tratious body refused to comply with that act. How could it? Somehow, I found the courage to get out of the palace after three days of hiding in my room. My courage wasn't bold enough to leave during the day when I could feel all eyes on me, so I did it by night. I was already angry when I found myself walking to this place rather than anywhere else. I was even about to turn around when I heard someone moan my name softly. I traced the voice and I saw the same girl moaning
Ariel's POVFor three days after I returned to the house, I couldn't help but think about how I would be able to get my Dada to release me from the home imprisonment he kept me in. Even as I paced to and fro the length of the room I was in, no idea came to me. I balked at how it was becoming increasingly hard to think straight these days. Each time I sat down to think, only the thought of Eric and what he would do to me came. I would spend hours and hours fantasising about the man. By the time I realize that I needed to think of a way to get out of the mess I was in in order to actually see him, I would start thinking of an escape plan. Barely five minutes into the deep thinking, I would find myself thinking about Eric again... just like I currently was.I was floating on top of my bed. My hands were on my breasts and I kept culling and squeezing them the same way I saw Eric did that day at the beach. I moaned as I imagined it was his hands playing with my breasts instead of mine. St
Eric's POVAs mother continued to hold me, she patted my back softly with her hand. I knew I was displaying a moment of weakness to the queen, but at the stage where I currently was, none of all those palace rules mattered to me. I just wanted someone to show me that I wouldn't go crazy because of a certain human.Was she even hunan? Someone that could play with another's person's feelings like that didn't deserve to be regarded as a human. "She's a selfish, cunning, and the most heartless person I've ever seen!" I bursted out, unable to contain my contempt for the woman.My mum didn't say anything and just continued to pat me like she was already doing. The outburst, however, gave in to the anger I had been trying to rein in ever since I woke up that morning and found out about that girl's betrayal."How could she have deceived me like that?" I let out again.To me, she was stupid. If she wasn't, she would have realized that I was already infatuated with her. She could have easily d
Eric's POVI didn't know what to make of the situation that happened just a few minutes ago. Ever since I collapsed on my bed, I found it extremely hard to get up. How could I when it felt like my world was crumbling down beside me?I found it hard to believe within myself that the same girl I trusted enough to bring into the palace. The same girl I was so worried about I didn't want her to spend an entire night outside during the cold. The very same girl we spent the same night on the same bed, pleasuring each other to stupor. I couldn't believe that the same girl had thought nothing wrong about betraying me.How could I have been so draft? How could I have let her deceive me just like that? Why didn't I see beneath the fake skin she was wearing to the real one? Now that I thought about it, her excuse of getting lost while with her friends seemed flimsy. Heck, everything about her felt and sounded completely fake. I was sure that the reason she approached me in the first instance wa
CHAPTER THIRTEENARIEL'S POV Sebastian sat across me with an intense look in his eyes. I reckoned I would have the same look if someone sat me down to tell the exact story I was telling him at the moment.It happened to me yet somehow I found it unbelievable. It just felt like the kind of shit that should only be possible in movies. Poorly scripted movies."So you opened the door to the right-"I nodded. "I opened it."He leaned in closer to me almost as if he wanted to merge with me. His eyes bulged out in their socket and his teeth clattered. Goosebumps appeared all over my skin as I remembered how I felt in the dark corridor turning the door knob."I could have swore he was behind me- breathing just behind me." I said as I controlled the impulse to cringe.Sebastian gasped. "Was he there?"I shook my head. He wasn't there when I turned around but the presence didn't go away. It stuck with me even as the door opened."What did you find inside?" Flounder asked speaking for the first
