Prologue
“love can defeat hatred but in a right time with the right person”
Maggie memosa.
She despises the world because it is unkind to her. Her family was killed in a car accident, and now her long-term boyfriend cheated on her with her so-called best friend; she tried to move on and have her own life, so she chose to go somewhere far away; she tried to have her life get back on track; but with all of those things happening nonstop, she ended up with a broken heart and almost soulless.
King Rufus Erskine
And he, on the other hand, is full of hatred; anger for the world and loathing for how weak his family’s chosen wife is; hatred that he can’t make the woman he loves his wife and is instead shackled to a woman he despises.
But what will happen if these two people from different eras meet? Will it change everything or will it worsen? Is there any chance for them to have a happy ending or will they end up with a terrible outcome?
“A MARRIAGE without LOVE can result in BETRAYAL and DEATH.”
Maggie’s Pov ;
I happily clipped the last page and went to Vee’s desk to turn in the papers.
As I approached Vee’s desk, she raised her head and smirked when she saw my face.
“Look’s like someone is happy,” she mocked, and I couldn’t help but giggle.
“Yes, and that’s me,” I said proudly as I placed the documents on her desk.
“This is the final document,” I remarked, smiling.
She rolled her eyes as she took and checked it rapidly, then she smiled.
“All right, you can go now,” she remarked, as I happily grinned and even jumped like a rabbit.
Finally, I’m free to leave.
“Thanks, Vee,” I murmured as I dashed to my desk and grabbed my bag..
As I gathered my belongings, I began to think of what i should cook for my surprise, and I rushed through the process because it was getting darker, indicating that John was on his way to our house.
But when I checked my watch, it was already way too late, so I decided to go to the nearby local store here at Cambridge shire, I bought what I needed for my surprise for John. I even took a taxi, despite the fact that it would cost a lot of money, but it’s okay because today is a special day.
When I arrived at the Vesta apartment, it was already past noon, which meant I was running late, so I hurried to the elevator, pressing twice on the second floor in excitement, and while waiting for my floor, I began to search my purse for my keys, but when I couldn’t find them, I frowned and began to panic.
“What the hell!, where are my keys?” I grumbled as I rummaged through my bag, but there were none.
“Oh my god, where did I leave it?” I wondered as I examined it a second time but found nothing, then my eyes widened when I realized I had left my keys on my desk.
“Oh fuck. “I whispered as I sat on the chilly floor, sighed, and covered my face with my palm.
What a dreadful day!.
My tears started to fall out of frustration as I silently cried to my miserly and as I was getting drama here, I didn’t notice that I was already on the second floor. A “ting” sound rang out, and that made me look up. The sound was followed by the elevator door slowly opening.
I sighed as I forced myself to get up, but it seemed my legs had turned into jelly, making me almost fall down. “Gosh, I can’t even function well.” I said as I held on to the realignments beside me as I tried to get up. When I was able to stand straight, I exited the elevator with a heavyweight on my chest and with a pout and teary eyes.
when i was already at the hallway i suddenly remembered that there is a tree, near to our room which mean i can still make my surprise, and ideas start to shape in my brain, as a smile slowly formed across my faces.
“I can still do it.” my inner brain said and I smugly smirk.
“God bless my brilliant brain and memory.” I murmured as I thought of possible ways to get in there, but then I realized that I don’t have a stepladder, which means all I have to do now is climb it, and problem solved.
I quickly turned around to return to the elevator, but it was too late because it had already closed.
So, I decided to take the fire exit that I had never taken before, plus it is closer to me right now, and when I got behind the apartment, I started looking for our room. When I found it, I dashed towards the tree, slinging my bag over my shoulder as I prepared myself to climb. But I came to a halt when I heard a moan.
What the hell was that? and a moan. Where the hell did that come from? Then it suddenly stops.
I’m probably just super tired and that made me hear some weird stuff, but before I could even hold the tree branch, I again heard that moan, but right now it is louder than before.
What the heck is happening? Did someone break into our apartment?
Then it hit me that someone had broken into our apartment, but wait, did they just have sex in there or did they steal first? And that got me mad. Those people are going to get a life lesson for breaking into someone’s property and attempting to steal too.
So, I hurried to climb as my mind So I hurried to climb as my mind was making a good life lesson, but when I saw who those people were, my mind went into chaos as all my supposed to be advice faded as my eyes got blurry.
No, this could be true; it’s just a hallucination. Yes, I’m just hallucinating out of exhaustion. I kept repeating it as I watched them do it.
“J-john?” I asked, puzzled. “Am I hallucinating?” I wondered. Is that really John my boyfriend? is this true, is he really having an affair with Lani, my best friend?
In disbelief, I even started rubbing my eyes as I tried to wake myself up, but it didn’t work. Every time I opened my eyes, I kept seeing the same scenery. Then I realize that this is all true—John was actually there with my best friend.
“I-I... Jj-ohn,” I whispered in disbelief as tears streamed down my cheeks.
“J-jhon, is it r-really y-you?” I inquired, knowing full well that they couldn’t hear.
I was trembling as I watched them do something nefarious behind my back. And when I can’t take it any longer, I glance down as tears stream down my face.
“n-noo,” I said as I silently sobbed as I hugged a tree branch. Now I know why John has been so cold to me these past few weeks.
He’s been cheating all this time and made me a fool. They made me a fool.
“No, don’t cry, Maggie. They don’t deserve your tears. They are not worth it.” I mentally said as I bit my lower lip along with a heavy deep breath, then i tried to forced myself not to cry for these two evil humans.
He’s been cheating all this time and made me a fool. They made me a fool.
“No, don’t cry, Maggie. They don’t deserve your tears. They are not worth it.” I mentally said as I bit my lower lip along with a heavy deep breath, while I forced myself not to cry for these two evil humans...
But, despite my best efforts, it appears that my tears were too much for my eyes to hold, causing my face to look more like a stream of water or more like waterfalls.
My emotions got the best of me and now I’m badly hurt.
So, in a fit of rage, sadness, and pain, I yanked my bag and the plastic bag containing my goods that I bought a while ago. With my left hand, I covered my eyes, as I attempted to stop all my emotions, especially my tears.
I kept trying, but I couldn’t stop myself. I feel so betrayed; they deceived me. I believed before that they would never harm me because they are both close to me. I considered them trustworthy individuals, but I was mistaken.
When my vision became fuzzy due to a sudden extremely painful headache, it almost caused me to fell off, but luckily a branch was close beside me and kept me from falling. But my dizziness is worsening, not because of the height of this tree, but because of the moans I’m hearing.
I couldn’t take it any longer, so I started climbing down.
Fuck them! I mentality stated, as I kept climbing down, and then when I looked back through the window, I saw them.
They were both staring at me.
And John has this shock expression, while Lani was smirking ear to ear.
While Lani was smiling like a snake, it made me realize that I had befriended a serpent, and they truly did not deserve my precious tears.
While Lani was smiling like a snake that she is, it made me realize that I had befriended a serpent, and they truly did not deserve my precious tears.
In anger, I mounted fuck you as I stared at them fearlessly. Then I showed them my middle finger.
“Burn you bitches!” I exclaimed, forcing a sneer on my face before rapidly climbing down.
I’m not going to let Lani win. I’m not going to cry over pig shit.
And when I got to the lobby, I heard John calling my name and telling me to stop. I didn’t stop at first, but he kept calling, so I stopped, but before turning back, I hardened my face.But when I saw him, I almost laughed at his current state, but of course I kept my firmness as I covered my eyes.
“Oh my god, are you fucking Serious John?” I asked, irritated.
Yeah, it’s nice that John hurriedly chased after me, but guess what? He went outside naked, butt naked.
What a dummy!
“Maggie, I can explain, please baby,” John implored, and that made me look at him, but instead of listening, I just smiled sadly and showed him my middle finger.
“Please baby,” John begged.
“Stop! I don’t care what your reason is, but dude, you’re naked. Dummy!” I exclaimed, and that made him check himself, and when he saw his nude body, he hastily covered his dick with his bare hand.
This could be so hilarious if we weren’t in this kind of situation.
But wait a minute, was John this stupid? I mentally asked as I came to realize that, yeah, he had been this stupid.
“John, if you still have any respect for yourself, I encourage you to hurry up and get back to that room because look at your state. Your butt is naked and everyone can clearly see your erected cock with your neck full of bite marks,” I stated in contempt.
“Maggs please,” John insisted as he tried to cover himself.
“Gross” was my mind state as I watched him looking to his right and then left.
“How did I fall in love with this type of man?” I mumbled in disgust, but it appears that he heard me because his eyes widen at my statements.
“Please,” John whispered, as he uncomfortably looked at his surroundings.
“Why don’t you just go back there, or maybe you like being exposed like this,” I said harshly, and I think my words struck a nerve in his thin brain because his eyes became angry.
But instead of getting intimidated, I just rolled my eyes as he walked away, but then he stopped halfway and turned back.
“Please wait here,” he mumbled. While his eyes pleaded at me to stay and wait for him here..
I laughed in disbelief.
duhh as if I’m going to wait for him here? Did this motherfucker really think that after what he’d done, I’d stay with him? God-gracious.
“John the moment you cheated, we were done.” I said, as I bravely glare at him.
He tilted his head right to left in disbelief as he kept mumbling.
“John enough!” I said in anger, and that made him stop mumbling. He then just stood there for a minute, probably thinking of a way to stop our separation.
But when people began whispering over his state, his face turned crimson. In embarrassment, he ran back to that filthy room...
And I, on the other hand, called a taxi and went to Vee’s place, Hay street steeple morden Royston.
When I arrived at Vee’s apartment, her first words were, “Oh my goodness, girl, what happened to you?” and I just smiled like a fool as my tears streamed down endlessly.
“Can I stay here tonight? “Pretty please,” I begged, as my sobbing became uncontrollable. I was hurt, and I couldn’t handle it, so here I am with messy hair, a wet cheek, and red eyes.
Vee’s eyes were wide as her mouth shut while her eyes scanned my state, and when Vee tried to speak, her voice broke, so she averted her face as she was also on the verge of crying.
Vee took a deep breath, then she wiped her tears before she looked back at me.
“Of course, you can, sweetie, come inside,” Vie replied, then she moved behind me to help me enter inside her house.
She’s probably sense that my knees are too weak for me to walk right now.
And after that I gave her the full story of why I’m here and why I’m bawling like an idiot, and Vee, being the sweetest person, I know, even advised me to go to Lani’s house and beat the hell out of her.
And, to be honest, her concept is very appealing, but right now all I want to do is avoid causing a commotion.
I stayed at Vee’s place for almost a week because I couldn’t bear to go back to my apartment. I even avoided everyone as I wasn’t ready yet. But all that changed when I and Vee ran into Lani at Victoria shopping Centre, and god gracious, Lani was also flirting with Vee’s suitor, mark Hover.
The violence I’m avoiding is no longer an option because Vee really beat the soul out of Lani to the point where she feinted and her face was covered in cuts and punch marks.
While Lani looks like she is dying, Vee, on the other hand, is perfectly fine. She had no bruises, only unkempt hair. Vee was looking as if she might kill someone... I was terrified of her at the time, but she is my friend, so I asked if she was okay, but Vee glared at me angrily.
“I’m sorry Maggie, but I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I don’t want any connection with you guys,” she stated as she left me alone shocked. But of course, I understand her.
She is in pain and she needs space I knew that, I already experience it once.
So, even with heavy chest I did what she said,I respect her decision, but I wish she didn’t have to stay away from me too, as I’m her friend and I also want to comfort her, but I know she is just avoiding getting more hurt.
And even though it pains me to leave her in her most vulnerable state, I had no choice. She instructed me to go and never speak to her again. So, after that, I drove to her house to pick up my few belongings and leave, but since I didn’t have any friends to ask for shelter, I then stayed in a hotel near at vee’s apartment although I’m eager to find an apartment I cannot since it was already late and I needed a warm place to stay for the night.
When I awoke in the morning, the first thing I did was return to my apartment, not to forgive John for his betrayal, but to get the items I had brought with my own money.
I no longer desire to be with him. I want to sever every link we have. And I want to be free of pain but I do hoe john has already move on.
but, as I had predicted, when I got at the flat, John was inside, and he was a shamble. He smelled like booze and cigarettes.
Damn this guy, he had a time for this but got no to time on get his shits right but instead he got wasted, what a useless human being.
Before I could even walk in, John noticed me and grinned.
He probably thought I was here to rekindle our relationship; he wished!
“Stop grinning, it’s gross,” I said in a monotonous voice, and he quickly stopped grinning, but his eyes were still showing hope...
“Look, John, I wasn’t here to get back at you; I’m here for my remaining stuff,” I said in a harsh tone that caused John’s eyes to widen as he shakes his head in disdain.
“I’m here for my things,” I added, and he rose up, as if the intoxication had worn off.
“Please, baby, don’t do this. Please give me another chance, please,” John cried as he kneeled in front of me, and I just smiled sadly.
“Look, John, I can’t stay with you anymore,” I stated calmly.
“No baby, please, just for this one time, baby, don’t leave me,” he hastily pleaded, and that made me snapped.
He hurt me emotionally, and he still thinks I can forgive him for his evil conduct!
What a jerk!...
“I can’t forgive you, John. You cheated on me! And I don’t accept animals,” I screamed, as john just started bawling like an idiot, but I didn’t care. i truly don’t care even if he cries in blood.
While John was crying, I closed my eyes for a few moments before beginning to move toward the room to collect my belongings. When he was done bawling like a child, he began appealing again, but I didn’t pay attention since I was too busy gathering my belongings so that I could finally leave this sick, filthy place.
After I finished packing my clothes, my next stop was the study room, where I had left my computers and books, but just as I was about to enter it, John suddenly grabbed my hand as he kept on pleading.
“Please, baby, give me another chance,” John begs, and I just look at him with hatred.
“John, stop this right now!” I yelled, making him look at me with wide eyes. Then he looked down and probably finally realized that his pleading, kneeling, or whatever he was doing would never work on me.
