Betrayed And Broken✔ [completed]

#33 B&B

Riya.

I yawned while walking to take the newspaper.

I was still feeling tired, I had a sleepless night yesterday, grandpa didn't question us as we expected, Instead, he seemed to know what happened.

But it was still difficult for me when I thought about everything that happened, Including that anonymous psycho stalker who actually helped me.

I am still blank about what happened at the party, so I was shocked to hear about it from Neev and Rohan.

We still don't know why I was being attacked and by whom.

Even though they had many theories, nothing was making sense.

They cut off the power and drugged me, so it was well planned...

I shook my head.

I am starting it again! I can't keep thinking like this, It's just making my head burst.

I opened the newspaper and froze.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

Yes, that's right, I am the headline today!

"THE CINDERELLA GIRL"

Danny read the big bold title over my shoulder and I folded the newspaper quickly, but of course, the damage was already done.

Danny snatched away the newspaper from me. "Riyechi! please tell me it's someone else!" he said with a laugh.

Grrrr...

That's right, the reporters had to select that one photo of me that I hate too much! It must've been while I was in higher secondary school, with big nerdy glasses!

No, I don't have any eyesight problem, It was just my reading glass that I rarely used to prevent the headache!

And it doesn't help the fact that, just near my foto was Nivin's clean polished posh look in his tux, looking handsome and confident.

What can I say? I really would've appreciated the reporter for selecting such a rare picture of mine, If the situation was different!

Well..they really have to stress the difference, I guess!

"Danny! give it to me" I shouted.

He was laughing at me from the door. I ran after him. "Stop right there or I am going to kill you!"

"Chechi, I wish I could've met you then-" he stopped. "Hey!" he exclaimed as Rohan snatched it away from him.

Holy shit!

"Noooo" I charged at him, Rohan started to chuckle now.

"What's all this commotion?" Auntie Alice came and to my utter humiliation, Rohan passed the newspaper to her, "look at her, mom!" he said.

I was still stricken in my place, Auntie Alice will faint if she saw it.

"Aww..." Auntie Alice cooed to my surprise. "She looks cute!"

I am not cute! I look ugly in there!

"What are you all talking about early in the mor...Whoa!...Is it..?..yeah!... It is!" Nivin took the paper from them.

He took one look and burst out laughing, I have never seen him laughing like that before, apparently, the others looked as shocked too, before they decided to join him.

I folded my hands across my chest and narrowed my eyes at them.

I am not going to allow them to laugh at my expense!
