Twisted Ending to Cinderella
We are in the land of make-believe, in our 4 bedroom house with a path way that’s made up of glitter and pure marble. There’s a swing in the front porch where I spent most of my life time since my mother died. Ever since then my step mother took me in. Today is a very special day because today is when Prince Charming goes to ever house in the land to see if he finds his Princess. Whoever foot fits the magical glass slipper is the one who will soon be his wife and help him become king and help him rule the land of make-believe. While I’m sitting on the swing out front I see the carriage with two white horses pulling it. Out of the carriage come Prince Charming and his body guards. One guard who is bald and is way too brolic for his height holding a red satin pillow and on it carefully placed was the glass slipper. The sun was hitting the slipper at a perfect because it was clear as crystal. Me and my ugly, tall and skinny step sister name Sabrina came out front to greet our visitors. We welcomed them into our home. Mid-way in the entrance I and my step sister are standing a few feet away. Charming open his mouth and says “This is the last house in the land”. Now, I am anxiously waiting for our feet to be placed in the slipper. At this moment one of our lives will change completely, I thought to myself. My step sister is staring at me with her usual hate filled face, with her one mole on her upper lip that’s complementing her mustache that you can clearly see up-close. She really needs to get that mole removed, but anyways I’m paying her no mind. All I’m paying attention to is Charmings fine self. You can tell he just got his fresh shape up. Wearing his normal day by day expensive clothing. I can feel my body temperature rising while he takes off his crown to show us respect. We curtsey to our visitors to return the sign of respect. Charming made eye contact with me. It’s time. As he was placing the slipper on my foot my heart was racing. There was an empty space in the back of the slipper where my foot was supposed to fill. The slipper was too big. I walked down the hall, but the slipper was flicking off. Charmings face turned pale and a drip of sweat rolled down the side of his face.


A few moments later he tried to fit the slipper on Sabrina foot. Time completely froze. My mind was at panic… “What if it fits her?”
“Why do I have such small feet?” are things that are racing through my brain. I closed my eyes wishing it didn’t fit her, but as usual my wishes never come true.
With my eyes still shut all I can hear is Sabrina deep voice say “OH MY… IT FITS!” I opened my eyes seeing Charmings arms wrapped around her waist then him struggling to pick her up to spin her around like they do in the romantic novellas. I’ve been telling her to lay off the pound cake. Honestly, to witness them kissing right now makes me want to vomit everything I’ve been eating for the past few weeks. With the tears running down my face all I can think of was taking a fork and jabbing it through her eyes. The rage is unbearable. How can you want to cry your eyes out and have so much hate in your heart at the same time? I have always had a short temper. I just can’t believe what I am seeing. She not the brightest light bulb in the bunch and not the next Victoria Secret model either.
A FEW YEARS LATER…


So what happens after that disappointing day you might ask? Well I’m working in a donut shop which I’ve been working at since the day of Sabrina and Charmings wedding trying to pay my bills. Surprisingly Charming is just about to walk through the door. Usually one of his body guards is the one who comes to pick up his daily order. An iced coffee and a glazed jelly filled donut. I think Sabrina is the one who put him on to the unhealthy foods because I’ve noticed him gaining a few pounds. I am trying to avoid making as much eye contact as I can, hoping he doesn’t remember me. He gave me the cash which was a 100 dollar bill and told me to keep the change. Naturally I looked into his eyes and thanking him. My mistake. I can tell he noticed me because he looked at me funny and asked if we have ever met. “Of course we did, I’m Sabrinas step sister.” He looks pleased to see me and asks me to take the rest of the day to catch up. I mean what am I suppose to do?
I reply with “yes!” trying not to show him the full excitement that’s on full blast. As we leave the shop all that’s in my mind is what are we possibly going to talk about? His wonderful life with Sabrina, his 2 year old son or him gaining all that weight due to his wife always eating junk food? Anyways I’m still going along with it. We end up at the palace inside of his study where he does of his work. Sabrina is no where to be found. We are all alone with the free crib. He offers me a cup of tea but of course I deny it. I’m way to nervous to even hold up a cup let alone drink tea. He takes a few bites of his donuts and asks me why I decided to work at a donut shop out of all the things I could do in the world. I reply by saying that’s what is paying the bills at the moment. I sort of feel embarrassed because I’m sitting inside his expensive palace and I’m here talking about working at a pity donut shop that pays minimum wage trying to pay off my bills. I try to change the subject as quickly as I can. We start to talk about his life after the wedding ceremony. How deeply in love him and Sabrina are and the birth of their son Beriz. I can feel my blood pressure rising. Every time I even think about them two being together still makes me sick to my stomach. After that we start talking about his and her problems. She too jealous with every female Charming comes in contact with. I presume to tell him that she has been that way since I can remember. He goes on to saying that he was going to give her something to be jealous about. All I’m thinking is “OH MY GOD. That’s why I’m here baby boy.” So I get up to look around the room just to let some time past. It’s around 7 p.m my shift already ended at work. I’m surprised that Sabrina hasn’t come home yet. So purposely I brought up the jealously issue and ask what he meant by him giving her something to be jealous about. He didn’t give me a response all he did at that moment was grab me by my waist and starts kissing on my neck then on my lips. Then things started to get real. I feel like I’m in heaven. I don’t feel bad at all. I know me and him was suppose to spend the rest of our lives together it was just a matter of time. So like around 9 or 10 p.m Sabrina came home and we were lying on the bed inside of the master bedroom. We decided to sneak out through the fire escape and have part 2 in my crib. We are sitting in the living room and I could tell he felt bad. I could feel the awkwardness in the room. And proceed by whispering in his ear softly “everything’s going to be okay” while pushing up against his body and taking his hands to rub every inch of my skin. I know he got over his feeling of guilt pretty quick because he was putting in his work with no regrets.
A Few Weeks Later…
So Charming and I has been seeing each other every Tuesday and Thursday during my afternoon shifts at the shop. I think I am really starting to fall for him and I could say the same thing with him. He tells me he loves me every time we see each other. So a few days ago he called me telling me how he and Sabrina got into a fight because she spotted red lip stains on his crisp white shirt. She went on to argue that he always getting all dressed up every Tuesday and Thursday, then coming home smelling like Victoria Secret perfume. So now Sabrina is on to him. He is now staying over at my crib to let things settle and he is telling me that he is planning to leave her. He is in the process of sending her the divorce papers and she wants to send him to court to pay child support for Beriz. His body guards are still at the mansion and until the divorce is finalized. Then he wants to sell the mansion to find a new home for him and me.
A Few Months Later…


Everything is finalized. We are in the process of getting our marriage license. And we are now living OUR happily ever after.
THE END.
