“It’s like a dream come true.”
“Yes, child. But like all dreams it can’t last forever. On the stroke of midnight, the spell will be broken and everything will be as it was before.”
“I’ll remember,” promised Cinderella. “Oh, it’s more than I’ve ever hoped for. Thank you, fairy godmother.”
“Bless you, my child. Now hurry up! It’s getting late.”
Cinderella stepped into the pumpkin coach and was whisked her way to the royal ball.

Cinderella After Midnight
Once upon a time, Cinderella tried the shoe on, it fitted perfectly. So she married the Prince and they lived happily ever after? Bullshit. The truth was... As soon as they entered the bedroom, the Prince slammed Cinderella against the wall roughly, leaning closer and whispered into her ear. "Didn't I say I'll catch you, Cinderella, or do you prefer Amelia?" Amelia shivered under the Prince's words. His voice sounded as cold as ice and at that second, she asked herself whether it wasn't a mistake to show up at the ball? Yet, what else could she do? There hadn't been another choice. Pushing the prince away from her with all her strength, she replied. "If you think you won, you're wrong. This is just the beginning." This story is anything but a classic Fairy Tale. Nothing is what it seems. What if there was more behind this bedtime story?

The Tragic Tale of Cinderella

But for those of you who seek the truth and want to know more, I invite you to listen to my tale. For I was there when that awful woman Lady Tremaine took control of my former lord's manor. I saw the depths of evil that lived inside her. And most importantly, I saw the girl you call Cinderella change from beloved daughter to fierce warrior. Before there was princes and love, there was heartbreak and war. My name's John and I was just a stable boy, but I was there and was able to chronicle The Tragic Tale of Cinderella.Complete
