CHAPTER 27✏️

❤Kayla’s POV❤️
.
Mom looked frozen for a moment, staring at me with a surprised expression on her face. She squeezed the paper lightly in her palm and looked away.
“Mom?” I called before she could walk away and her head moved in a nod, twice.
I gasped really loudly..
How come?
Mom and dad were getting a divorce and I knew nothing about it? Just how..
They used to be very happy, our family as a wh0le was filled with so much happiness and fulfilment..
What could’ve led to this?
“Why?” I asked, tears gathering in my eyes.. My chest felt really heavy. “I mean how? What happened to you guys?” I asked, wishing she’d just deny it and tell me it wasn’t hers, that it belongs to someone else, whoever it might be; I just want her to say it wasn’t true.
“I only did what was right” She said, her voice low and almost inaudible, she must be at the verge of tears.
“What was right? That’s it? Nothing more?” I questioned and she sighed gently, not answering my questions. “This happened before the accident, right?”
She nodded and mumbled a ‘yes’.
“But why? Why would you want to divorce dad? You both were so happy and satisfied? Why?!” I asked.
“It what is right-”
“Can you stop saying that?” I cut her off, getting angry. “You just didn’t wake up and file for a divorce, I want to know why you did it, mom. Please tell me!” I said, trying to talk calmly but at some point, the words were rough.
Mom said nothing, she didn’t even care to look at me and she walked away but I was quick to follow her.
This is what had been the issue all along?
When she wouldn’t even see dad at the hospital, talk about him or make me visit him.
I had suspected but just hadn’t neared nor arrived at the thought that they were divorcing… I don’t think anyone would’ve, my parents were the definition of love itself, hærdly, would you ever see them quarrel but a breakup? It was so unexpectable.
And to think that it had happened even before dad got into an accident, I could vividly remember the heavy fight that had occur before that day.
“Mom-” I called as we arrive at the living room and she turned sharply to me.. Her face were red and her eyes were totally heavy with tears that she was obviously trying not to release. Her body trembled lightly as they cupped her emotions. “Please tell me” I pushed but she looked away again, standing akimbo. “Please tell me why you and dad are divorcing? Please tell me this isn’t true,” I said.
“It is!” mom said, her voice bold, so bold that if you weren’t staring at her, you’d think she said that with no emotions at all. “We’re getting a divorce and that’s that. It’s all you should know so ask me anymore questions, okay?” She said, giving me a blank expression and staring sternly at more.
“No mom, I need to know, I have to.. You can’t tell me not to ask when you’re clearly not telling me everything! Please” I said, mom stared at me for a long moment, I couldn’t decipher what it meant but I knew she was contemplating on something.
She took her gaze off and moved to the chair, sitting down, she signaled for me to do same and I did.
“You dad was in an extra marital affair, I found out that day, it was supposed to be your birthday and I was going through his phone for something when I saw the texts he had with her! It was so..horrible, I had to confront him but he denied it and right in his front, she kept sending those disgusting texts and pictures to him but he still wouldn’t admit it,” she paused and took in a deep breath “So I asked for a divorce and he suddenly got angry and beat me up.. He won’t even admit that he was cheating even though it was clear! too clear!” She said and sighed.
“And then he drove out and had that accident?” I completed when she wouldn’t talk and she nodded.
Phew.. My birthday truly wronged so many things.
I know why.. The curse had made it happen, it had changed so many thing in my life.
“Mom?” She faced me. “I need to see him, please” I said and she gave me a look, a blank look.
“Really Kay, after what I just said, you want to see him?” She said, giving me an irritated look and I jerked at the sudden flare up.
“But mom-
“No! You’re not seeing him! He doesn’t worth you, he worth neither of us cos he’s a beast and the most selfish and pathetic being in the wh0le universe, he deserves nothing good cos he isn’t!” She said, wiping her tears vigorously and standing up. “I told you this so you’d reason with me and not go to him!”
Wow.. Did she hate him that much now? Naturally, that kind of hatred couldn’t have come with just a one time ‘caught in the act’ thing and it wasn’t really in the act but she already hates him so much..
How could Lucinda ruin my life this way?!
“But he’s my father!” I fired.
“And I’m your mother! And you obey me no matter what! You’re not seeing him and that’s it!” She said with finality.
“If you both have issues then it should be between you both, I’m his child as well and yours and you’ve deprived me my right for too long, I need to see dad, mom.. You don’t understand why any of this is happening but-” I stopped myself as I was about revealing the curse to her “please let me see dad”
“We’re not talking about this anymore and you better not repeat this again, don’t test me!” She said angrily and I could swear I’ve never seen her this angry and serious..
“But dad-
I didn’t expect the pricking slap that came next.. I held onto my cheek and mom stared at me with total anger, I’m sure my cheek must be freaking red, the slap hit so hærd I didn’t know when a tear dropped.. I gave her a speechless look and she softened, giving me a sorry look.
“Honey I-
She made to touch me but I moved away. I was gobsmacked and when I got to the door, I pulled it open and ran out, tears falling in trickles from my eyes..

I got to the woods and walked into the cave, caring less about my horrible look, I met Priola standing up from Melvin that was lying down and looked unconscious, she turned to me.
“W-what happened?” I asked, looking from her to Melvin.
“He had a reminder, his death reminder” she said. “He used this on himself,” she showed me the pin from the Luvi, the one that she had told me could kill Melvin and save me; sometime in the past.
“But that wasn’t what caused his unconsciousness, it was just the normal reminder, his death is fast drawing close so it’ll keep coming in a more fierce way until his inexistence!” She revealed.
“How soon would it be?” I asked.
“A bit too soon. Few weeks? Some days, I can’t say for sure but any moment from now. He’s in the major stage already” she said and I nodded slightly.
“I should go now. He’d be awake in an hour or two and he will be needing something to eat when he does” she said and walked past me to the cave’s exit and out.
I sighed and gave Melvin a quick glance before walking out of the cave to get something for him to eat.
.
Few hours later, Melvin woke up and just as Priola had said, he was hungry, so much that his steps slacked and he almost fell.
I gave him the little food I was able to make and after it, he gradually came back to normality.
“What happened to your face?” He asked, when we were sitted outside the cave; after the meal.
“My mom.. hit me” I said, like it was impossible and it’s true, mom had never hit me; well until today, of course.
“What? Why?” He asked.
“Well cos I found out she was divorcing my dad and confronted her, she refused me visiting him at the hospital but I insisted and she hit.. me!” I said, giving the cheek a light pat. “It was unintentional, I know but still I was shocked, it was too unexpected and I wonder why it isn’t healing” I revealed.
“I’m sorry, about the divorce” he said and I gave him a lopsided smile.
“It’s part of the curse, I know and I just can’t help but think about how someone would just want to completely destroy another’s happiness and life!” I said..
He said nothing and took my face in his palm, tilting it to face him. His fingers moved to my wound carefully and I suddenly didn’t feel the pain anymore.
My palm moved to my face and pressed it but the bump wasn’t there any longer and the pain had vanished..
