THE CURSED ANGEL
CHAPTER ONE
MITCHELL
I pack my long hair in a ponytail and sigh. It's just a pity I can't go out. Mom and Dad told me I am possessed, and going out means hurting others. They also tell me that only people who are possessed are ugly with long hair. I wouldn't like to make innocent people die all because of my greed. I was once told that if I went out, I would kill everyone just by looking at them. I would have loved to see how the world is, but I don't want anything bad to happen, so I have to stay.
Every day, Mom and Dad make sure I drink a particular medicine, so I won't die. They made me promise never to try to sing, because my evil voice could kill everyone in the world. Every morning, I watch everyone go to work, and I feel jealous. How I wish I could go out with them.
I am Mitchell, and my mom and dad once told me I am an evil girl. I am twenty years old, but I have never seen how the world looks, and it's just sad that I have to be evil and hideous.
"Angel," my personal nanny called, kissing my forehead.
"Aunty Lola" I called back, hugging her.
"What are you thinking about, Angel?" she said, peering into my eyes.
"Nanny, I am just looking at everyone going out. I can't go out because I am evil," I said sadly.
"Hey baby, don't feel bad. Just know that when the right time comes to see the world, you will see it. Just be patient," she said with her usual words, and I nodded my head sadly.
"Promise me, no matter what, you will always be patient and fight your battle," she said.
"I promise," I replied, even though I didn't understand what she meant.
DAMON
"And why would you tell me you can't find her?" I asked angrily, hitting the table.
"Capo, we are still trying to search, and I am not sure she exists... maybe—" Before he could finish his statement, he started coughing up blood and died immediately.
"Clear the mess," I said angrily. "I am Damon, No one goes against my orders — if you do, you will all perish."
I went to my room and decided to call Festus.
📲 "Any news?"
📲 "Capo, we haven't found her."
📲 "I'll give you guys two weeks. If not, you're all as good as dead. I am Damon, and I get everything I want," I said, and ended the call immediately.
"Oh God! Where are you, my angel? Why can't I find you? You are the only one who could fix me the way you did on that hospital bed. Why? I hate love, but I know I am in love with you. I might be a monster, but I promise never to hurt you. I promise never to hurt you. You are the only one who could stop this nightmare," I said sadly.
I am Damon . I am twenty-two years old — heartless, cold-hearted, fearless, a beast, cruel, king of all Mafia.
I am very powerful, and just by looking at you, you are as good as dead. I have magical powers. I lost my parents at twelve years old. I watched how my family was killed brutally. My parents were the richest in Austria.
I lost consciousness for a long time, and everyone lost hope. Even the doctor said I could not make it. That same day, a young girl came and sang; her voice was melodious. She healed my heart at that hospital bed, and I regained myself.
I left the hospital and joined the mafia, where I was later chosen as the Mafia Lord.
After five years, I avenged my family — I killed every single soul that knew about my family's death. I have been searching for that angel who could save me from my hospital bed. It's been ten years since she saved me, and I have fallen in love with her. My personal doctor once told me she is the only one who could stop my nightmare. I remember that day she sang; I couldn't see her face before she left. I might be a beast, but I would never hurt her. I think I need to call Damian. I should explain everything to him.
Please, magic angel, take a chance and come to me. I need you more than my morning coffee."
ALEX
"Festus, any good news?" I asked my brother.
"No, bro, he is still looking for the lady."
"Well, The lady would be the bait to take over his properties. I think it's high time I told Uncle and Aunt about the new plan."
"But if Aunt sold her to Capo, won't he recognize her voice if she sings?"Festus asked.
"Leave all that to Aunt. She knows how to convince the foolish maiden."
My name is Alex. I am Damon's best friend and Alex's brother — he killed my family, all because of what his family did to mine.
My family has been after their property for a very long time. We don't live with our family; we live with my dad's brother and his wife, because my parents knew they might die soon.
When I heard Damon killed my family, I joined the mafia to get to know more about him. He trusts me a lot, and I already know everything about the girl with the unknown voice. She is our only tool to achieve our mission
My junior brother, Festus, works for Lucifer, and he is one of his most trusted boys.
MITCHELL
I sit comfortably in the sitting room, watching television.I only read and watch movies every day of my life.My parents never allow me to enter the kitchen. Anytime I insist, they tell me whoever enters after me dies. It's just so sad that I have to be possessed. Even when I try not to take the medicine my mom gives me, she would still insist I take it.
Sometimes if my parent went out and came back late, she would wake me up, even in the middle of the night, just to be sure I took the medicine, so I wouldn't die before the next day.
I still always thank God that even though I am evil, my parents still love and cherish me a lot.
CADENCE
"Stop saying that rubbish and keep your mouth shut. Just tell me till when — when!! When would I see her? It's been ten years since I last saw her, and you expect me to be happy?
I gave birth to only two, and one is missing, and you expect me to be very excited," I said sadly to my husband.
My name is Cadence, I have two children, and sadly, one has been missing ever since she celebrated her tenth birthday. Her name is Caroline. My husband is the president of Australia and also the richest president.My first son is Timothy and he is twenty-five years old.
I still have that feeling she is not dead. I have that feeling my baby is alive. Please, Caroline, be fine for me.
"I am sorry, babe. I would call for another search," my husband said.
"It's just that I don't know how she is coping wherever she is. I don't know if she is alive or dead. Even if she is alive, she would definitely hate me ; I am a bad mother for not protecting her."
"Shhh, it's okay. We would find her soon," Elias said.
AUNTY LOLA
I am going to do everything to protect her, even if it would cost my life. She is too innocent to be going through all this pain at this tender age. She needs to feel happiness, and I would do everything to free her from all the enemies who want to hurt her. I just need to be very careful.
TESSA
"Baby," I called, faking a smile.
"Mama!!" she said happily.
"How are you, honey?"
"I am fine, Mama."
"Have you eaten?"
"No, I want us to eat together."
"Really?"
"Yes, Mama."
"Baby, you know we can't eat together," I said, faking a sad face.
"OK, Mama, it's okay."
"So who prepared your food?"
"Aunty Nina."
"OK, honey, go and eat so I can give you your medicine."
Some minutes later:
📲 "Hey Amos, long time."
📲 "Yes, ma. The President wants to continue the search for his missing daughter."
📲 "Ok, thanks for the update. I would send your money right now," I said, and hung up.
Someone cleared his throat. I looked up to see it was David, my husband.
"Hey, cherry," he greeted.
"Welcome, dude," I said.
"What's up with the smile?"
I explained to him, including what his cousin told me.
"You know what, baby, why not use one stone to kill two birds? We take over all of Mr. President's property and then kill him and his family. "Including his stupid daughter," my husband added, and I felt really happy.
By then, we would be the richest in the whole world.
We were still plotting when we heard someone gasp.
"What did you think you were doing?"
