My Boyfriend’s Childhood Sweetheart Cursed Me?It All Came Back Chapter 08
“I don’t know why my curses failed before,” she said, grinning through her tears. “But you’re scared. That means yours runs out. Mine doesn’t.”Â
“I won’t take it back, Stella. I’ll curse you until you rot–in that camp, in hell–however long it takes.”Â
My last shred of sympathy evaporated. I smiled- cold, sharp.Â
“Celine. You’ll regret this.”Â
She left.Â
Ethan collapsed onto the couch, trembling. I satÂ
beside him, held his hand. It was freezing.Â
“You’re thinking about her,” I said.Â
He had known her since childhood. Treated herÂ
like a sister. Knowing what was coming–ofÂ
course it hurt.Â
But after a pause, he shook his head.Â
“Stella, you gave her every chance. I just… I didn’tÂ
think it would end like this.”Â
Still, he sent people to watch her. Tried to intervene. Hoped to stop the inevitable.Â
But whatever Celine cursed always came true.Â
Three days later–she vanished.Â
Ethan searched. Nothing.Â
A week passed. A photo surfaced on the dark web. A face that was hers, but barely. One eye socket sat empty, staring into nothing. Her mouth was sewn shut. On each cheek, one word carved in jagged letters:Â
WHORE.Â
Then the video–leashed like an animal. Forced to eat off the floor. She screamed, but nothing came out, just muffled cries.Â
Then the surgical table. Knife. Kidney. Cut cleanÂ
out.Â
Ethan turned away, sick.Â
The footage spread. The authorities caught wind. They tracked the network and found their base.Â
Celine was on the table. They were about to takeÂ
her second kidney. She thrashed, sobbing, whenÂ
the police burst in.Â
She survived.Â
Everyone said she was lucky.Â
A month in the hospital. An eye patch over theÂ
hollow where her left eye had been. StitchesÂ
across her face.Â
Friends visited, one after another.Â
Ethan hesitated. Then went. I went with him.Â
Celine looked at us–and smiled. Calm. AlmostÂ
peaceful.Â
“Ethan. Stella. Thank you for coming.”Â
She seemed… different. Like a weight had lifted.Â
Even her presence felt softer.Â
Ethan blinked, surprised.Â
Celine laughed, gentle. “I know I was wrong.Â
before. The punishment was enough. I’ve changed.”Â
“Can you forgive me?”
