Her Burning Lover

Susan's POV It was dark, very dark, but I can sense the presence of someone. I don't know where I am. Is it a room, a corridor, my home? I am not at all sure. But I can hear the voice of a man, asking me for help, telling me that he needs me. But I could not trace him. After wondering sometimes, I saw a flame far away from me. I am trying to run but couldn't move a muscle. I am trapped, frightened and crying.  Right at that moment, the sweet voice of my mom came to my ears. "Sweetheart, get up. Are you ok? Why are you so frightened? Open your eyes, Sus. " I opened my eyes and found myself on my bed in my room. My mother is leaning over me caressing my hair. The sweet smell of my mother along with the sunshine took all my fear from the nightmare. Now I can barely remember what the dream was.  I kept my head on my mother's lap. "Good morning, mom. How was your night?" My mom replied with a sweet smile, "Good morning my darling, I had a good night but are you ok? Are you having a nightmare?" I thought for a while before replying with a smile, "I am ok mom. Now I don't even remember what I saw."  While we were talking, we heard my father calling my mom for help," Christine, can you please come down to help me, honey, I couldn't find my spatula." My father Thomas is a businessman. We have a small business of handmade dresses. He loves to make bridal dresses but in the spare time, he loves to cook. In holidays he never let my mom cook and as today is Sunday, it's his kitchen now. My mom is a nursery story writer. She loves to see the enlighted face of dad while cooking. So she always insists him to cook. Hearing dad calling over and over, mom went down and told me to get ready for breakfast. I went to have a shower and get ready. I came down and we all had our breakfast. Raymond's POV The same nightmare, again and again, calling someone for help in a very dark place but couldn't see anyone. I am in my cursed form but couldn't change my shape back and I need that person to get neutralized. But I don't know who she is. But I have hope that I will find my cure someday and also the person who gave me hope. I got up from my luxury bed in my room and went directly to the bathroom. I saw my face in the mirror. As usual, my eyes are red like burning fire. I splashed some water in my eyes and took a cold water bath. Due to my curse my body always remains hot. Hot enough to bear the icy cold water.      While I was in the bathroom, my phone rand and it was my secretary. "Sir, the client has confirmed their arrival, and a limousine has been sent to the airport to pick them up. Your meeting is at 11 o'clock sharp." He was professional as usual. He never disrespects me or never avoids his work as he has been working with me for the last eight years. He knows everything about me and the work except my dark and fearful CURSE. "Okay. You can go to the office. I will see you there." I ordered him and went to the dining hall. I had my breakfast which my cook made. I asked my butler to call the driver and get the car ready. I took my phone, went to the car. One of my bodyguards opened the door and I hopped in. After that, they all went to the other vehicle which was just behind my car.  "Sir, may I drive the car?" I nodded while watching my phone, and he drove in the direction of the office.
