CURSED ANGEL
MITCHELL'S POV
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'S POV
"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'S POV
"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'S POV
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'S POV
"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'S POV
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'S POV
"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?"I asked, but no one replied.
"Cherry, no one is there. You are just overthinking."my husband said.
But I heard someone gasp.
"Baby, no one gasped. Let's eat, and one more thing — right from tomorrow, we should start showing her our true identity."
"We can't continue treating her like a princess. Let's make her start feeling pain before we sell her to that bastard," David said.
I entered Mitchell's room and woke her up so I could give her her drugs.
AUNTY LOLA'S POV
Thank goodness I was not caught. Who would have believed these people were this cruel; but What!! So all this while she was kidn*pped — she is the daughter of President Eugene , the richest president?I think I need to visit Cali secretly. She is the only one I can explain everything to, and I would also need her help.
Poor girl,she has trusted and believed they are her parents, not knowing they are just imposters.
DAMON POV
"Arrrrrrrgggg, please, please, Mom, Dad, please don't go! Noooooooooooooooooooooo!
Dad! Mom! Klaus!
No, ooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Please don't go!
Please, don't go, please!"
I opened my eyes to see it was the usual nightmare. I was sweating and shivering. I felt really weak.
Oh my God!!
I took my injection and injected myself to make me feel better.
Ahrrrg. I sighed sadly. I fell to the ground tiredly. Tears flowed freely from my eyes. I checked the time to see it was 1:00 a.m. I have always had nightmares every night. Every day I sleep for only two hours. I think I would just go to my secret room to rest. I was known as a monster, feared by all — a very powerful Mafia lord — but deep down, no one knew what I faced.
MITCHELL'S POV
I yawned lazily, still on my bed. I entered my bathroom and did my morning ritual. I tied my towel and came out to see Aunty Lola arranging my room.
"Good morning, Aunty Lola," I greeted.
"Morning, princess. How was your night?"
"It was cool," I replied.
I wore my clothes and went straight to Mom and Dad's room. I entered without knocking and met them talking and laughing happily.
"Good morning, Mom and Dad," I greeted happily.
"Are you dumb? Can't you knock?" My dad shouted for the first time.
"I am sorry, but Mom—"
"Would you keep your mouth shut and get out before I give you some sense?" My mom said.
"Mom, it's me, Mitchell."
"And so what? Get the hell out now. If you don't have anything you want to say, get the hell off!"
I left and entered my room. I started crying. What did I do? This is the first time Mom and Dad have ever raised their voices at me. Well, maybe someone made them angry. I know they would later ask for my forgiveness.
WRITER POV
At the dining table, the maids started serving the family their food, and Mitchell entered the dining room. She decided to snub her parents and sat down comfortably. She took her spoon to eat when her mom interrupted her.
"And what did you think you were doing? Stand up now and go to the kitchen to prepare your own food. None of the maids are here to serve you" Tessa said angrily.
"Mom, are you okay? It's me,Mitchell, your daughter," she asked, confused.
"And who told you I am your mother, you bastard? Stand up now, or you would regret ever knowing me," Tessa said coldly.
"Get out,"David said, irritated.
"Dad !Mom! Dad! Mom, what's wrong? I don't understand; did I do something It's me, your favorite daughter."
The next thing she received was a slap across her face.
"Did you just—"
"And I won't mind giving you another one so you could gain some sense," David said dangerously.
"From today onwards , I don't want to see you anywhere near this house. You must be found only in the kitchen or the maids' quarters. And if you ever try to run, just know you are as good as dead. That day, you will hate the day you came into this earth" Tessa said happily.
Tessa and David continued maltreating Mitchell. They were really happy about their plans were going smoothly.
Their main target had always been Damon , and they were really happy because Alex and Festus had succeeded in manipulating Daniel.They had planned to use the money they would get after settling all the spies working with them.
#Few weeks Later#
David told Aunty Lola to call Mitchell.
Mitchell entered the parlour and greeted them, bowing her head.
"Well, I won't be takingmuch of your time. I would like to inform you that we are not your real parents."
"What!!!" Mitchell shouted.
"You are an evil girl, and your father dumped you because you killed your mother the day you were born."
MITCHELL'S POV
Oh Lord, am I that evil? Why me?
"We are tired of feeding you, so my wife and I have decided to sell you off, and there's only one piece of advice I would give you — whatever questions he asks you, just reply with:
'I am sorry, Capo,' or 'It was not my fault.'
When you get there, you will know what your evil has done to many innocent people," Dad said, with nothing but hatred in his eyes.
Festus convinced Damon to buy Mitchell, and Lucifer agreed for him to bring her to him. He sent Festus to complete the deal.
DAMON'S POV
Why do I feel anxious to see this girl? It feels as if she is someone I have been longing to see. Well, let me just wait till she comes.
I am meant to hate her even before seeing her,why am I having these crazy feelings?
"Maybe she is my angel. She is just scared I might hurt her," I concluded, feeling happy.
The door opened, and there she stood.
I stared at the lady, and if there is another word apart from stunning, I would have called her that.
Seeing her this beautiful gives me this weird feeling. She might be innocent, the way I stare at her.
God! She is like a goddess, and Festus told me she always charms people with her beauty.
I can never fall for her — I am a powerful Mafia Lord.
I steadied myself and stared at her with hatred instead. I am going to make her go through pain for tampering with my goods.
And the second pain is the money I used to buy her.
Now I see she is really evil. I don't know why I was anxious to see her before — why I had this weird feeling before I even met her.
Why do I feel like she is my angel with the great voice?
Author POV
Damon sat down comfortably in his judgment room, feeling really angry. He stared at the lady in front of him with pure hatred.
He believed she was his cure —
The girl he had looked for without her knowing,
The only one who could fix him,
The one who could stop his nightmare,
The one who could make him happy,
The one he believed was his medicine.
Even before he knew her, he was already addicted to her.
He believed it was the angel who had once healed his heart.
He believed she was the one he had fallen in love with, right from that hospital bed.
Minutes ago, when he stared at her, he had that feeling she was the girl with the unknown voice — but from what he was told, she was nothing like his sweet angel.
His angel could never be cheap. His angel could never be a w***e.
Damon cleared his throat, his voice cold and final, and said, "Your body and soul are sold to me, to do as I please. From today henceforth, you are my personal slave, my personal servant, my personal maid — my property. From today henceforth, I become your master, your Capo, and you will know nothing but sadness till eternity."
