The Cursed Passion CHAPTER 37
(AHVI’S POINT OF VIEW)A FEW DAYS LATERShane has been dead for almost a week. Activities at the stadium have been put to an end for the time being and security has been tight yet the murderer has not been found. At this point, the police can just give up their search because, despite the horrendous murder, no trace of the murderer has been found. It's a Thursday and the University has set up a camping trip in the woods for the students. After a lot of henpecking from Raven, I thought it would be fun to do something else and right now, we are at the camping site after driving for almost three hours.“Are you sure these words are not plagued with bestial animals?” One of the students voices out their complaint, looking at the tall trees with a look of skepticism and dread in her eyes.“I assure you, these words are unassailable. You are not the first to have camped out here and I've come to this place numerous times, so you don't have to fret about anything but I will advise you not

(AHVI'S POINT OF VIEW)I don't know how long we followed the brown color wolf in the middle of the woods but I can no longer hear the sound of those creatures, nor can I hear the screams of other students but I can feel the ground under my feet.FinallyRaven trusts the wolf and I trust her so I keep my concerns to myself. Finally, there's hope when I see our bus on the main road ahead of us with other students panicking around it.I whip my head to look at Raven and she also has that relieved look on her face. Then, the wolf stops abruptly and turns to look at us with his yellowish eyes that suddenly seem human when he isn't trying to kill something. Then it moves its head toward the road.“Thank you,” Raven says, going ahead. I stand there staring at the wolf and it watches me too with a tilt of his head. The action makes me tilt my head as well.It's fascinating how a wolf could be so human-like and even understand human language.“Ahvi!”Raven's loud call to my name makes me jerk

{AHVI’S POINT OF VIEW}It is swarthy and the ground is water-soaked underneath my feet as I run deeper into the green forest— behind me is the sound of resonant, low growls that bring a cry of fear out of my throat. I run as fast as my legs can carry me but I don't get far; suddenly my waist is grasped roughly and I whip my head back to come face to face with a pair of red, animalistic eyes and sharp fangs. I let out a scream of horror.With a startle, I jostle up awake with a gasp of hysteria and bolt to a sitting position to find myself on my bed, in my room. I let out a sigh of relief and brought a hand to my chest to soothe my breathing; it’s just a dream, I think to myself as I look at my alarm clock and it reads 2 in the morning. What the hell was that? I think to myself and then realize it's the second nightmare I've had since the forest ordeal two days ago.I look around my roommates and suddenly I feel a puff of frigid breeze that comes from nowhere; my room doesn't have a w

{AHVI'S POINT OF VIEW}As I sit there in Vance's car as he takes me to his penthouse, the only thing that pivots in my mind is what happened only 50 minutes ago before I begged Vance to take me out of the house.Yes, I know I had a daydream but how did the glass shatter into pieces when it was just in my hand in a spineless grasp? The question loops again and again and still brings me to my starting point, where I can come up with no rationale.20 more minutes later, Vance finally kills the engine of his car in the parking lot of the 3-story building. I rubberneck at the luxury that welcomes me as I step out of the car and we end up at the elevator. I had no idea he was this affluent. Suddenly, I realize I have no idea what he does for a living other than the fact that he travels a lot and has gone to almost every part of the world.I silently follow him to the elevator and it takes us to the first floor and then we are inside his home.The living room is large; there is a lot of spac

{AHVI’S POINT OF VIEW}It’s like I am high on something as his fingers go in and out of my entrance at a slow and careful pace. My hands flee up to grip his shoulders and I don't know when I dig my fingers into them—he looks down at me and our eyes meet. His eyes are so unrecognizable, it’s like staring into a deep grove of green.“You okay?” he asks with concern as I stare at him like a love-struck puppy while surges of pleasure push through my body in full force.“Yeah, don't stop, please.” I plead and grip hard on his shoulder when he adds another finger and continues to open me up without breaking eye contact; it makes me bite harder on my bottom lip and his eyes move down to them.“Don't do that.”“Why not?” I ask breathlessly, as his fingers don't stop for a second. I bite my lip again but he unclips it from between my teeth.“It drives me crazy and makes me fall harder.”Does that mean he’s in love with me? The thought brings a blush to my face. My arms circle his neck and pull

(AHVI'S POINT OF VIEW)I jerk awake with a startle and I jolt to a sitting position on the bed and place a hand over my loudly beating chest.Another nightmare. Just as the thought sinks in, I feel a tide of anxiety scurrying through my veins and settling comfortably. My heart beats faster, I feel my hands tremble and I feel sweat on my forehead. Where am I? I think to myself as I look around the room and then my brain gets doused with memories.I had sex with Vance. Shit! I'm not a virgin anymore; I gave it all to my stepbrother. Shit! I look down at myself; I'm wearing Vance's shirt and I look at the other side of the bed; Vance's not here; his spots feel cold and empty, like he didn't sleep there at all. I look at the alarm clock on the nightstand table and see it's 6:30 in the morning. Placing a hand over my chest, I get out of bed but let out a cry of pain as soon as my leg touches the floor—it's all shooting in from my back. I walk over to the door but that's when I hear it—th

(AHVI'S POINT OF VIEW)As soon as we are inside the bathroom, we strip our clothes and step under the shower, and with a grin, our hands are over each other, wanting to touch and feel; the feeling can't be described but as I kiss his lips, I feel hungry for more; it's like I can't get enough of his taste.I trace my hand on his chest, down to his stomach, while looking into his eyes. “You didn't finish last night; don't hold back this time. I'm not a virgin anymore,” I say with a smirk.A smile owns his face and it's charming. “I like it when you're naughty,” then he dips down and pulls me up by my ass and my legs automatically wrap around his hips and arms around his neck. It's a risky move but I like it. “Don't worry, baby; from now on, I won't hold back when I fuck you,” he adds, pecking my lips, and then he thrusts into me with my back against the wall.*~*My legs feel jiggly when we finally step out of the bathroom, I can barely walk without trembling, making Vance chuckle and t

{AHVI’S POINT OF VIEW}Finally, it’s a day before the championship; the team and I show up at the airport with our bags, prepared for a trip but guess who also showed up? Quinn. I roll my eyes as she takes the seat beside me in the waiting lobby. I exhale a sigh. Just when I think I can get rid of her for a few days.From the corner of my eyes, I watch as she places her hands on her knees and that’s when I notice the scars embellishing the back of her palm and the paleness of her skin. Curiosity gets the best of me and I find myself trailing her hand to her face. For the first time, her face is devoid of makeup; it’s just as white as the rest of her skin and there are these heavy bags under her eyes like she hasn't slept in days—that’s new.Suddenly, she whips her head at me and casts me a deserving glare. “What are you looking at?”Her liverish voice nudges me out of my trance and I quickly look away and decide to mind my business and just wait for Miss Xenia and Miss Katherina to arr

The Cursed Passion CHAPTER 101
(VANCE’S POINT OF VIEW)5 years. It feels like a lifetime, and yet it feels like no time at all. Only a few days and nights of silence and regret stretched so endlessly until now. 5 years and she's standing in front of me again, like a dream that seems far reached and unachievable.She’s here. Standing right in front of me, her presence feels surreal, like a dream I’ve replayed countless times but never dared hope will come true.Ahvi.She looks different, yet the same. Stronger, maybe. There’s a fire in her eyes I don’t remember seeing before, but there’s also exhaustion. Her hair is short and falls in soft waves around her face, and though her expression is guarded, I can still recognize the girl I once knew and literally, there goes the beating of my heart again. It throbs painfully yet it is alive again after 5 years.I don’t move. I don’t dare breathe too loudly, afraid this moment will shatter and I’ll wake up in that endless slumber again.Her voice breaks the silence and ends
The Cursed Passion CHAPTER 100
(AHVI’S POINT OF VIEW)“What do you mean you didn’t get a call for a missing child?”I strain not to lose my patience as I look at the airport manager, who looks like he’s freaking depleted of his job, and if he doesn’t find my child in the next few minutes, he’s going to wish he never existed.Isleen stands beside me in the office. We rushed here the moment the plane landed at Chicago airport, and now this idiot is standing here spouting nonsense.“I’m telling you, Miss,” the manager says, rubbing his temples like I’m the one giving him a headache when it’s my child that’s missing. “We didn’t get a call from Ireland about a missing child. Perhaps the call didn’t come through. But…” He pauses like he’s skeptical if he should continue as my glare amplifies. “There was a child here yesterday, brought to us by security. I can take you to the CCTV room to confirm if it’s your child.”I give a glance at Isleen and her expression mirrors mine, uneasy and terrified. We watch as the man stan
The Cursed Passion CHAPTER 99
(VANCE'S POINT OF VIEW)I follow Scar and Damein aimlessly from behind, like a child forced to step out of his comfort zone; the only difference is that I'm not a child. Scar and Damien are talking but I can barely hear a single word that left them. Everything feels like it's from a distance. The busting of the airport, the rolling sound of suitcases, the mutters of people, and the sound of beeping machines sound like they are all fading.“Dad!“Realty welcomes me back with the sound of Scar's voice; her worried eyes dance over my face. “How long are you going to stay in your head? she's gone; move on already.“ she almost snaps. I can never move on from her. “You shouldn't worry about me, Scarlet. Go and have fun in Italy. Live your life." I try to curl my lips into a smile but the muscles refuse to move. She sighs in frustration. “You think I'm going to stop worrying just because you say so. You wouldn't have left your dark room if you weren't forced out; is that how you're going
The Cursed Passion CHAPTER 98
(AHVI'S POINT OF VIEW)The airport is buzzing with energy, a symphony of rolling suitcases, overlapping announcements, and people in transit. The last time I was in an airport was five years ago, running from my demons.I walk beside Andre, his suitcase trailing behind him, as he glances down at his phone. His brow furrows for the nth time. I want to ask what’s on his mind, but I don’t want to start anything heavy. Not now. Our little date is still fresh in our minds and we decided to talk more about our relationship when he returns from the conference. “You’re sure about your gate?” I ask instead, scanning the signs above us. I'd left the twins with Isleen at the entrance.He nods and tucks his phone into his jacket pocket. “Yeah, Gate 14. Thanks for walking me in.”He slows down near the security checkpoint and adjusts his tie—a navy blue one I bought him on a whim last month. I can remember how delighted he was that he almost bounced on his feet like an excited child. The memory b
The Cursed Passion CHAPTER 97
[VANCE POINT OF VIEW]The walls are closing in again.They've been doing that a lot lately—pressing closer, shadows tightening around me until I can barely breathe. I lie here, barely able to see through the darkness filling the room. Five years. Five years since she vanished from the surface of the earth and took the last of the light with her. I made promises I couldn't keep and swore things I had no right to swear.'I'll protect you,' I told her once. 'I'll never let anything happen to you.' And yet here I am, all these years later, a prisoner of my own empty words. Five years of being tormented by everything and everything around me. I feel like everything is mocking me, laughing at me for how weak I have been. I had one job yet I have failed even before I could do shit. I laugh at how pathetic I sound.Then I hear it—a knock, soft and hesitant, like someone doesn't want to wake the dead—probably. Everything is still around me, and everything is so quiet that I can hear only th
The Cursed Passion CHAPTER 96
(AHVI'S POINT OF VIEW)I agreed to Andre's date, and the day came sooner than expected. It is strange dressing up for a man. I remember always trying to look pretty, hoping my stepbrother would notice me. Looking back, I remember looking like a love-struck puppy anytime Vance was near. How naive.I shake my head and clear my mind to keep all thoughts of Vance at bay and focus on what is in front of me; Andre taking me on a date to a fancy restaurant.I am dressed in a sleeveless crimson dress that hugs my curves and falls over my knee; Isleen made me wear it. My makeup is well-done. I feel and look pretty when Andre is dressed in a fine black suit, as opposed to the casual clothes and doctor's coat that I usually see him in; he even brushed his hair back.“I have only dreamt of this day.” He looks excited as he sits across from me at the table.“Please don't tell me you spent all your savings for this?” I jest, yet with a hint of seriousness.He chuckles. "I believe there is nothing
The Cursed Passion CHAPTER 95
(AHVI'S POINT OF VIEW)(FIVE YEARS LATER)Five years almost feels like five days. Time runs fast when you're not keeping track of it. It's like I've only shut my eyes and then opened them. Five years in Ireland, I've grown accustomed to the people and the culture. It no longer feels strange. I've gotten used to everything here. I looked after the kids for two years before getting a job as a kindergarten teacher, and the experience has been one of a kind. Stepping out of the grocery store with a few bags of groceries, I smile as the evening sun shines on my face and the soft wind blows through my short hair. With an exhale, I make my way to the car and head home to my boys.It doesn't take more than ten minutes to get home. As soon as I'm out of the car, the front door opens. Mael and Ciel come rushing out, with Andre closely behind them. "Mama!" I open my arms wide and let them run into me. The boys are identical; it's almost impossible to tell them apart. Their hair is a s
The Cursed Passion CHAPTER 94
(RAVEN'S POINT OF VIEW) The next day drags on, and I barely get a moment of sleep. The dead eyes and sad expression of that boy haunt me as soon as I shut my eyes. What if he's really serious about dying? How could I leave a suicidal kid in the middle of nowhere? I could have at least taken him to his front porch. I don't even have his name! And the bruises on his body? What if he's being maltreated at home? Shit, Raven. How can I be so blind and impulsive?! After a long night of self-hate, I spent the next day trying to find the boy, starting with the convenience store where I dropped him off. "I'm sorry, miss, but I've never seen such kid." Those are the words I'm told. I take the route he took and find myself in a dirty and dark alley. It gives me the creeps. I almost turn to leave, convinced he's not here, until I see a figure cowered at the side of the wall.I get closer curiously until the familiar sight of his blond locks comes into view. "Hey, kid!" I call, barely b
The Cursed Passion CHAPTER 93
(RAVEN'S POINT OF VIEW)It wasn't until we were in the Manager's office that I feel maybe I might have overreacted.There’s a pound in my head that refuses to go away, and there's a numbness in my hands that has been there since I took the boy to the hospital.“I will not tolerate this childish behavior in my office. If you have a problem, take it outside my fucking building and do your shit!” the manager yells with the veins in her head popping out. “Do you know what you have cost the company today because of your behavior? I could expect this awful behavior from Sierra, not you, Raven!”“This is not my fault!” Sierra clamors. “I was only trying to help her since she was running late. I never expected her to be a bitch about it, and she was the one who kissed my boyfriend, and I'm not even mad about that!”“I'm sorry,” I immediately apologized. “I had an emergency on my way here, but it's not an excuse to behave the way I did. I will fix the mess I created. It won’t happen again.”“Y
