The Reason For This Story

Introduction

This is taking the precept of the title meme for your enjoyment from Chaotic Jessica Connell

Himderella

He was the one who had everything, looks, money, respect, adoration and any girl (or boy) he wanted.

She had a minimum-wage job as a cleaner, and could barely afford her rent but she had pictures of him all over her walks and followed him religiously on every social media platform and anywhere she could find anything to do with him. In her heart, she wanted to be with him and to have him with her as a soul mate and life partner, but as things stood at the moment, she knew that would never happen …… or would it?

He was rich and a celebrity, he would never ever enter her universe unless something changed and she won the lottery or his celebrity star fell from popularity. She doubted that she would ever win the lottery even though she spent ten quid a week on tickets and never won. She only bought one ticket per draw despite having friends who spent fortunes because the more tickets you bought the more chances to had to win.

Her attitude was that only one ticket won, and if you had a hundred tickets you had a hundred chances of losing, and that was far worse than losing one ticket,

Meanwhile……

He came back to his house finding in in flames, his latest conquests were outside guests of the fire brigade and ambulance crews.

Him: “What happened, what the fuck have you done to my house?”

Them: "We are going to sue, you nearly killed us you house is an absolute death trap, we were woken by smoke and rats had chewed through unprotected cables , and crows had been ripping apart some backs of something very inflammable in your basement, your house has gone and the police have a warrant out for you, you disgusting ......"

The end of the sentence was lost as he was grabbed by two big policemen and handcuffed and bundled into the back of a police car. He tried to protest but was told to "Shut the fuck up" by the policemen, they looked violently menacing so he decided to keep quiet.

His lawyers would not touch him so it was a public defender who turned out to be less than useless, he was found guilty of attempted murder, and even though the charges were so obviously trumped up, he felt he had dropped into a Kafka story.

She was devastated. He was gone from the public eye, She cried herself to sleep every night until ........

Three years later he was released with nothing but the clothes he had entered prison in. His fortune was gone and there was no one to meet him. He was given accommodation in a rough part of town until he found himself a job.

He got in, and there was a chair and a rough bed and a kettle, that was it, he wondered if someone could give him some tea and milk and decided to chance knocking on the door of what he assumed to be his neighbour.

He knocked

Then he knocked again

Someone was knocking on her door, she was scared, no one good knocked on doors in this area,

She opened the door and she was in shock

He was there

Her prince had returned and was at her door asking for tea and milk.

She: "Come in, I will make you tea, do you want anything else"

Him: "Er yes, the tea, I am just out of prison, and only here for a short time, I need to find somewhere to live"

This was her chance

She: "I have a spare room, you could stay with me"

He wasn't sure but it would be ok for a few weeks he thought.

Him: "That is very kind, I won't trouble you"

Her prince would be living with her, now she hoped that this would be her dream come true, or would it?
