Maximus was a playboy quite the opposite of his younger brother, Nathaniel, who was a complete gentleman. He never approved of his older brother's lifestyle but though they may have their differences, they were still brothers no matter what. Until one day, Nathaniel's best friend and one of his older brother's many lovers caught Maximus sleeping with another woman. She was enraged with the fact that she was being cheated by her lover and betrayed by her best friend for not telling her. What was worse, they didn't know she was a witch. Fueled by anger, she cast a curse on them. A curse of immortality. As proof, she gave them a mark of a small bloody rose surrounded with vines on their chest. The only way to break the curse was to find true love. But, it was not that simple.

Maximus’ Point of ViewEngland, 1863I slammed the front door open, laughing like a fool with my wench of the day. She clung onto my arm tightly, giggling hysterically in anticipation of what we were about to do. Her cheap looking Victorian dress made her large bosom bigger and that was more than enough to raise my libido seeing it was the only thing I was looking for when I met her at the local tavern. As we staggered our way inside my mansion, we headed for the stairs but unfortunately, we were stopped by a voice who was undeniably unhappy with the current situation.“Maximus.”Twirling my body to that voice, I was not surprised to see my perpetually angelic brother, Nathaniel. He was standing near the large oak double doors that lead to the mansion’s library with his arms crossed over his chest. He did not bother to hide that scowl to show his disapproval of my lifestyle."Another one brother?” Nathaniel asked, disdain clearly shown in his voice.”When will you cease with this kind

Chapter 1

Maximus’ Point of ViewCleveland, OH, September 12, 2011I loved the feel of warm jets of water cascading my back. It gave me a sense of calmness and tranquility which was in contrast with my complicated life. Showers were a form of clean hygiene but I called it a luxury. It was a reminder that I should not take things for granted, seeming it was just as precious as the basic needs of man. Some may think it was strange but it was more of a figure of speech.Lifting my head up, I realized the bathroom was now misty so I turned off the shower and grabbed a towel from the holder. I wrapped it around my waist and headed for the sink where above it was the mirror cabinet.The mirror was fogged up so I wiped it with my hands and stared at my frozen twenty one year old reflection.Sighing, It had been 148 years since that day. The day that my brother and I were cursed with immortality. I used to think that staying young for so long was exciting seeing I got to sleep with a lot of women. I wa

Chapter 2

Maximus’ Point of ViewA girl was standing at the door, panting and out of breath. I guess she ran all the way here.She fanned herself with her left hand while the other was placed on her hip as she continued to intake big gulps of air. "Oh man. My lungs. Burning. So fierce." she said in every other pant.I raised my eyebrows. So this was Pandora Donovan.I was expecting a rebellious grunge looking teenager but I was wrong. She looked normal, a typical skinny jeans and t-shirt kind of girl.Maybe I was stereotyping rebels these days. Yeah, I'd go along with that.Pandora had raven black hair that reached past her shoulders. Her pale blue eyes held a twinkle, like she was up to no good. That playful smirk she displayed on her lips was an indication she was indeed a troublemaker, looking for something to pass the time.I cleared my throat. Time to show her who’s boss. "You must be Pandora. I've heard about your tardiness issues."She grinned, showing her pearly white teeth. "I bet you

Chapter 3

Maximus’ Point of ViewFor the love of anything that was holy.Here I thought being a teacher was all easy and I’d come out smelling like a rose.Turns out, it was more like horses dung.I had never in my life thought teenagers were this rowdy and rambunctious, shameless even. Take the Sophomores for example. All throughout the period, I was getting snickers and snide remarks throughout the entire time and I passed it as them being annoying. When the class ended, a girl with thick frame glasses ripped something on my back and showed the note to me. One on my students had the audacity to discreetly slap a paper behind my back that said ‘This belongs to Carrie now’ with an arrow pointing downward. I guess that was meant for my ass.I could only say it was a mixture of embarrassment and amusement.The day was a myriad of unexpected things and when the day ended, I was eager to go home in anticipation of Fern's surprise.I swung the front door open and yelled,"Babe, I'm home."The house w

Chapter 4

Nathaniel's Point of View‘How dare he show up at my school’, I thought to myself angrily, thinking every single cuss word that described my playboy brother. After all these years-as a teacher of all things-he had to show up here in Cleveland and what was worse, he came to my school. If that ignoramus thought that he was going to come frolicking back in my life and ruin yet again the little piece of happiness that I had finally found for myself, he had another coming. This would not be another repeat of what he had done to me many centuries before.After many long years of searching and after all of the waiting I may have finally found my special someone. The one that I think I am truly in love with. My only obstacle was persuading her to believe that she loved me too. One day, I thought, I would convince her of our love and then I can hopefully break this wretched curse.I glanced over at Pandora who was sitting just caddy corner to me. Her head was down and she was doodling in her n

Chapter 5

Nathaniel POVI stood there sweating profusely in the center of the field staring back at Max. ‘Who in the hell does he think he is?’ I silently asked myself. Frustrated as all get out, I threw my helmet half way across the field in anger and quickly chewed up the distance between us.We were now on the sidelines standing toe to toe, face to face.Shaking with fury, I roughly shoved my finger into his chest and asked, “What do you think you are doing here?” between clenched teeth.Max let out a long sigh and rubbed at his eyes tiredly.“Look little brother, I’m not here to make your life miserable but I can’t just let you run rough shots over me either. I am a teacher, you are a student. You came in late and you have to take the punishment. You were supposed to be in detention,” he said earnestly.I stared back at the man like he had just lost his damn mind. “You have got to be kidding me, right?” I started incredulously while arching my eyebrow.Max glared back at me and it didn’t wa

Chapter 6

Nathaniel POVPandora and I were sitting in McDonalds eating our usual chicken nuggets and fries. As long as I have known Panda, she has had this crazy fetish for McDonald’s fries and ranch dressing. I couldn’t help but watch her intently as she slowly dipped the fry in the ranch dressing, flicked her tongue out and consumed the treat. Damn, I thought to myself, watching her eat that fry was one of the most sensual things that I had ever seen.“What?” Panda said, sounding a bit self conscious. The sound of her voice brought me back to the present, “Do I have ranch on my face or something?” she asked, wiping haphazardly at the corners of her mouth.I hadn’t even realized that my staring at her had become that noticeable. Looking away I chuckled lightly and played it off. “Naahh, baby. I was just thinking about how good it was to be back home…with you,” I told her, flashing a brilliant smile.“Awww,” she sang. “I missed you too,” Pandora smiled back at me. And man, her smile was freakin
