Synopsis

Sam thought it was over. The nightmare she lived in high school should've stayed in the past, however the past seems to find its way into the present. -Sequel to A Story Worth Telling-

Chapter 1Chapter 1

Being married is a whole different world than what I thought it would be. I never knew all the hardships and fights you would encounter as a married couple. However I still love Alex and he loves me so we get through it together. "Good morning Shorty." I hear Alex say before his arms wrap around me and he kisses me on the cheek. "Morning. Do you want anything before heading to work? I'm making pancakes." I tell him as I focus back onto the breakfast I'm cooking before I have to be at the book store. "No thank you love, I'm in a rush." He responds before turning me around giving me a kiss. "I love you Sam. Always will." He adds as he looks me in the eyes. Confused I slightly smile at him and tilt my head a bit, "I know Alex, I love you too. What's wrong?" I ask. It's not like him to be this way. Even when he seriously tells me he loves me he still calls me Shorty. That horrible day back in high school was the only time he has ever called me Sam and I didn't like it.

"Nothing is wrong I just want you to know that I love you." Alex says. "I know you love me but don't ever call me Sam again okay? I don't like it." I say with a chuckle as I recall the day I told him the complete opposite. Before I hated the nickname from him that he gave me but now? I feel hurt and lost hearing my actual name come from him. At my response he just laughs before nodding and kissing me again before saying bye and leaving out the door.

Since we have been married, Alex has taken a job at a business company working as associate. He doesn't really tell me details of his job, but I don't mind. I currently work and own a book store, I know shocker. The book worm in high school owns her own book store. I've always loved books and I still do so I opened my own store and I help make sells instead of hiding in an office doing boring paperwork, I mean I still have to do that but I mainly bring that home with me and do it here instead of being a lazy boss who doesn't help their employees.

After eating, I go and get ready before leaving for work as well. I intentionally opened my store within walking distance of home so I have to go far for work and I don't like driving myself much anyway. I arrive to the store unlocking the door with my keys and flip the sign to open on my way in. I normally have a couple hours to myself after opening as it's a small business so I don't have many employees and they don't show until later in the day.

I start my day by straightening books on shelves and readying the cash register as well as making the store look nice. A couple hours later, one of my employees Shawn shows up. "Good Morning, Shawn." I say to him. "Morning Sam." He replies as he heads to the register to sign into it. "Any new books in?" He asks as I head toward the back to get started on the paperwork. "Nothing I haven't read before." I reply as I disappear around the corner into the office hearing him faintly laugh as I close the door.

As I head toward my desk I casually glance upward and out the window and I don't believe what I see. Brooke and Dayton. I hurriedly rush towards the window and close the blinds before rushing back to my desk and picking up the phone. "Shorty, you okay?" Alex asks over the line. "Alex! I saw them! They, They're here. Outside." I say all in one breath not thinking he can understand me. "Shorty you have to slow down." he says as I catch my breath and calm down. "Alex, I saw them. They're here. "I'm hoping he believes me, he just has to. "Who is there? Who is they?' He asks. "Brooke and Dayton. They're right outside." I say calmly before I explode. "That's impossible, you know it is. Dayton is dead." Alex says trying to get me to be calm. "I-I don't know how he's here but believe me Alex he is." I shakily say. It all sounds crazy, even to me. "Okay, calm down, I'll be there in a bit okay?" he says as I reply with sure before ending the phone call.

After a bit of curling into a ball on my desk chair, I slowly sit up and head to the window. Sneaking a peek through the blinds I still see them both there standing on the other side of the word smirking at me.

I anxiously wait in my office for Alex to show up, not daring to open the window in case they are still out there. Is there plan to make me go insane or at least seem like to everyone else until I have no one? If so, their plan won't work I just know that Alex will believe me.

"Shorty?" I hear Alex ask from outside my office. Quickly, I rush to the door and run to him throwing my arms around his neck. "Let's talk in my office." I say quietly before leading him into my office and closing the door. Alex takes a seat in my chair as I pace back forth all the while he just watches me. "So tell me what happened." He says breaking me from my thoughts and pacing and stare at him questionably. "Why do you think you saw them and where?" He asks. Immediately I start to feel anger at his questions. "I don't think, I KNOW I saw them Alex. Real and there, very much there." I trail off and continue pacing as I try to make sense as to why they are here.

Cinderella Fell For Her Bully

“W-what do you want to do?” He removed his hand from the doorknob and walked back towards me, placing his backpack down and looked back at me. “Come sit.” He said slowly. I followed him over to the bed and sat down. “What are we going to do?” I was so nervous but there was a slight hit of anticipation in my tone that made him looked excited. “I mean, are we just sticking with what we did last time or—?“ “Tongue.” He said bluntly. “What?” “I’m going to teach you how to really kiss a guy using your tongue.” ***************************************************** Stella Hemmings aimed to leave her wicked stepmother and evil stepsister behind because they treated her like Cinderella in the fairy tale story wherein they made her do the household chores and beat her. The only difference was that her stepmother sends her to school but on one condition. She had to hide her identity, like wearing a curly wig and round glasses. Why? Because she looked exactly like her mom and her stepmother hated her mom so much that she asked her to cover her face and make herself ugly. And just like Cinderella, she also has a Prince Charming but sad to say, he was bullying her. Stella had a huge crush on him but he never noticed because she’s ugly. He only had eyes on the sexy and famous cheerleader Maxine. Knowing she couldn’t compete with Maxine, Stella hid her feelings for Tyler Lewis. However, the stupid cupid played his role and let them crossed their path in an unexpected way. Stella needed a huge amount of money for the operation of her stepbrother’s heart surgery, so she asked her friend Lisa to help her. Her salary as a part time student in the coffee shop wasn’t enough to save money for Dino’s operation. So she went with Lisa to work in one of the famous nightclub in town but soon went into trouble and the guy who bullied her in the school, saved her and saw her without the wig and the round glasses. After that incident, she tried to avoid Tyler in the school as much as she could, for he might recognize her as the girl he saved that night in the nightclub. But how could she avoid him when her feelings for him grew from infatuation to love. And despite fighting hard to keep her feelings contained by distancing herself from Tyler, he was determined to show her that he had earned a spot in his heart.

High School Again: The President's Secret Lady Boss

“With every hour, day, and month I wait, I love you more.” Here is where the boss submits and the lady dominates. --- "A CEO hitting on a high school girl? Oh, how scandalous, Sir~” She is a sly teenager who likes to tease adults, use blackmail and ruin dates. But beneath that playful facade, she was once a naive heiress who was abused, mocked and neglected. Forced in a loveless marriage, she became even more miserable. For all her life, she tried to be perfect to gain acceptance, but in the end, nobody truly cared for her. Now that she went back in time after dying in the hands of her family, she decided to claim what was rightfully hers. "Hitting on you? Excuse me, who're you again? I don't think any girl would just ruin my date for no good reason – highschooler or not. That's unless you're actually a fan," was what her flirt of a future husband once said in this second life of hers. Though a jerk, this hot stuff has his uses other than being attractive. She needed him to get back on those who wronged her no matter how indifferent he was to her before. This time around, she will take her turn to piss people off while smiling all sweetly. With that in mind, she leaned closer to him and smiled as sweetly as she just imagined, making him drop his smug smirk and raise his brows in surprise. "I'm not your fan – I'm your future wife, you douchebag." --- Winter used to live with her adoptive older brother until her biological uncle and adoptive sister found her. She was a long-lost heiress whose deceased parents turned out to be an affluent and wealthy couple. While people would think that she was very fortunate, all this really did to her was take her freedom away. A whole new identity had been forced on her ever since. Meek and docile yet soft-hearted and hardworking – that she became. Trapped in expectations, Winter worked herself to death in order to be deserving of her position as the successor. Pressured by her family, she had to follow everything they said. Deprived of the freedom to decide, she was forced to marry someone who was older than her by seven years – and worse, a flirt of all things. Winter worked very hard but only to lose everything after her adoptive sister took the spotlight away. Everyone claimed her to be incapable of being the next head of their family business, thus making the adopted daughter the successor instead. Her uncle only used her in the end. This was what they were aiming for all along – to manipulate her and steal her inheritances before throwing her out entirely. Never did Winter expect that the first and last person who would at least pay attention to her at her worst was her husband, Marcellus. Flirtatious and playful yet detached and secretive – that he was. Devilishly handsome, head of a business empire, known for many notable attainments, and chased by beauties – Marcellus is a man of perfection. Not once did he treat Winter like a wife, though. She was nothing to him, and so was he to her. But before she met her eventual demise, he was the only person who tried to help her. Yet it was much too late. The next time they met again would be seven years back in time – where they would be a scheming duo of a bossy high school girl and a submissive conglomerate president. --- [Warning: Mature Content] (Cover Photo Not Mine: Credits to the original artist) - Follow me on Instagram (acieetin) - DM me on Discord (Aciee#1841)
