Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Once on time, there was a handsome prince named Alex, who could have any woman he wants. The prince was very shallow. He only liked women, based on their appearance.

One day Prince Alex threw a party, where every handsome man and a beautiful woman were invited. When this woman who was not very beautiful started talking to Prince Alex, he started laughing and insulted her.

"You should not judge a person by appearance, but their character." - The woman said.

The woman warned him to stop, but Prince Alex kept on laughing and insulted the woman, who became angry and turned into a beautiful fairy.

"I put a curse on you." - The fairy said,  turning Prince Alex into an ugly deformed man, and turning the servers into rats.

The fairy told Prince Alex that he must love someone based on their character and not their appearance. Also, he must earn her love in return. The fairy gives Prince Alex an hourglass.

Prince Alex must earn love basic on the character before the sand run out, the hourglass or he remained ugly and deformed forever. Prince Alex did not know what to do because even the world's ugly woman would not do anything to.

She was not beautiful and not well-liked by the townspeople, her family was an outcast that no one wanted around. The townspeople came quickly to judge Anastasia's family before they get to know them. Anastasia was in love with this man, Nicholas, but unfortunately, he did not feel the same way, He was an arrogant jerk.

Anastasia's father, Martin was a hard worker, her sisters were really beautiful but she was her father's favorite daughter. Martin was a good man and always worked hard to get his children what they needed. Anastasia never asked for much.

Martin was going to a job interview in a different town.

''Father, I want you to be careful and do not take a shortcut. '' - Anastasia said.

''Do not worry Anastasia I will be home before you know it.''

Martin traveled very far when it started storming badly, He saw a castle and knock on the door.

"Hello was anyone here? My name was Martin Ross and I need to use your phone." - Martin replied.

"You may use the phone and stay until the storm calms down." - Prince Alex said.

Martin called the repair shop about his car, but they couldn't come until the next day. Prince Alex has dinner ready for Martin, but he never shows his face.

The next morning the repair shop sent someone to fix Martin's car.

One of the repairmen stole a golden compass and left. Prince Alex, who was looking for the compass, falsely accused Martin.

"YOU THE STOLEN MY COMPASS AFTER I GAVE YOU A PLACE TO STAY FROM STORM AND THIS WAS THE THANK I GET." - Prince Alex yells.

"I did not steal your compass. Please believe me." - Martin said.

Prince Alex did not believe him and have Martin lock up.

"Please, Sir, I have four daughters to support, please let me go. I did not steal the compass, but I will pay for the compass if you let me." - Martin said.

"You have four daughters?" - Prince Alex asked.

"Yes, I do." - Martin answers.

"I would like to meet them and I will let you go and forget the whole thing." - Prince Alex said.

"I would let you meet my daughters." - Martin said.

The next day Martin went home and told his daughters about the deformed man, and that he wanted to meet them. They all went to see the deformed man and Prince Alex prepared a big feast for all of them. Prince Alex wanted to get to know all Martin's daughters and choose one that could break a curse.

Prince Alex met all of them and saw Anastasia. He thought Anastasia was the ugliest girl he ever has seen. Prince Alex saw the youngest daughter Julia and she was the most beautiful. Julia's character was arrogant and selfish. Prince Alex made Julia go home. The other daughter Lisa was the second beautiful, but she was selfish and spoiled. Lisa was sent home too. Prince Alex was getting disappointed because almost all of Martin's daughters were arrogant, selfish, and spoiled.
