My Boyfriend’s Childhood Sweetheart Cursed Me?It All Came Back Chapter 07

He opened the door. 

She stumbled in, grabbing his arm, sobbing 

“Ethan… I was attacked…” 

Her clothes were torn. Bruises and cuts covered 

her body. Dirt smeared her skin. She looked like she’d been dragged through hell. 

“Why did he come for me?! It was supposed to be her! Not me! This isn’t right!” 

Ethan’s hand trembled at his side. 

Then she heard me come in. 

Her head snapped toward me. 

“You… this is your fault! You did something to me! What did you do?!” 

She lunged. Ethan caught her before she could 

reach me. 

“Celine, think about what you did,” he said, voice 

hard. 

Her eyes went wide, manic. “No… it can’t fail… it 

never failed before…” 

I leaned against the wall, coffee in hand. “You’re 

wondering why your curse didn’t land on me, but came back on you instead.” 

“Celine. Where did you get this ability?” 

She bit her lip so hard it bled. Then she started 

laughing–low, broken. 

“Just bad luck. My power can’t fail.” 

Her head lifted. Bloodshot eyes. She looked 

demonic. 

“Stella! You’ll be taken by traffickers! They’ll sell 

you to Southeast Asia! They’ll cut you open and take everything–your eyes, your kidneys! You’ll 

wish you were dead!” 

Before I could stop her, the system chimed. 

[Ding! Rebound successful!] 

Ethan finally lost control. 

His hand struck across Celine’s face. 

“Shut your mouth!” 

“Stella never hurt you! Why are you doing this to 

her?!” 

“All those girls I knew–they did nothing to you. 

You destroyed their lives because you were 

jealous! How did you become this person?” 

Her hands clawed at her own face. Her voice 

cracked. 

His voice broke. Not just anger–grief. Grief for the 

girl he’d once known, the one who had 

disappeared behind this monster. 

Celine held her red cheek. Laughing and crying at 

the same time. 

“Ethan… I love you… I just wanted you. Why can’t 

you be mine? Those wicked women–they don’t 

deserve you! I’m the only one who really cares 

about you!” 

“They’re all using you! I’m the only one who’s real!” 

Ethan’s chest heaved. Pain flickered in his eyes. 

Then he said, cold and final: 

“I never loved you. I never will.” 

“The damage you’ve done–you have to answer for it yourself.” 

While they argued, I reached out to the system. 

Asked if the curse could be cancelled. The curse 

was too cruel, even for her. 

The system said it could–if Celine chose to take it 

back. But it would cost me points. 

I turned to her one more time. 

“Celine. Whether you believe it or not–every curse you just threw at me will hit you instead.” 

“I’m giving you one last chance. Take it back. And 

this ends.” 

Ethan added, “Celine. What happened at the party. What happened tonight. Don’t you see?” 

She paused. Then her face lit up with sick understanding. 

“Ah. You’re scared.”
