THE DEVIL (GAEL) :
I flew away as soon as I saw Ella sit up, she would probably look for me now. I went back to our room and then with my magic, I hid the soul’s bottles inside the mirror. I know Ella would look for it to release Ethan’s soul.
Let her release everyone’s soul tonight because she is going to pay for all of this with her own soul. I smirked evilly while waving my hands in the whole room. I am excited and afraid too, the fire is the thing I am most scared of and I know it would hurt me a lot.
“HEY DEVIL, I AM HERE, COME OVER, SHOW YOURSELF.”
My fears were interrupted by a sweet voice, “Ella.”I squealed like a kid and in a rush, I appeared in front of her, back to being in Oliver’s form.
I wondered what she was planning to do when she suddenly fell on her knees and surrendered to me, I was shocked and blank for a moment of what to do.
She then held my hand and even though I don't have a heart I felt my pulse racing from her touch… “Nooo…”My inner demons shouted at me and I held her chin tightly asking if she really wanted my forgiveness.
She has no idea what punishment I have decided for her, a lifetime punishment.
I couldn’t come up with anything as I asked her to marry me, I know she won’t marry me but at least I would be able to see her as my bride before putting a curse on her.
I felt so happy when she nodded her head, thinking of our souls connecting together for the whole life. I felt excited and then kissed her passionately.
“I WON’T LET ANYONE HARM YOU EVER,” I promised her, yes, I won’t let anyone harm her except myself.
I took her inside the home because I needed to make a bond with her soon.
“AREN’T WE GOING TO THE BED?”She asked innocently and I laughed. This laugh felt so good to me and then I teased her, Ella is always cute and innocent even when I know her intention of killing me, I still couldn’t hate her or felt disgusted by her.
The reason why I am cursing her was to be with her for her whole life and I don’t want her to find any other man and forget about me.
She slept peacefully in my arms, I looked at her calm face and felt stunned how could she feel so calm and comfortable in my embrace like this if she hates me and wanted to kill me?
I gave her a shower and then put on the clean clothes on her, she was looking so bad before but now she is all clean, pure, and soft.
Just then her stomach growled, and I realized that she had been hungry for a long time, so I went down to prepare a meal for her. I was happily walking back to the room when I sensed my powers and then someone opened the mirror.
“F**k, Ella” I cursed and then rushed but stopped at the door. “No… No… No… I need to curse her first, let her do whatever she wants.”I said to myself, calming my anger, I have come a long way, I can’t lose myself now.
I then calmly opened the door and entered, she was pretending to be asleep, I knew already. I stood in front of her staring at her little face with a serious gaze, hoping she would accept her betrayal but no, she stayed still and I didn’t have the heart to curse her with an empty stomach, and also she needed to become my bride too before it.
Giving up everything, I woke her up and could see her sighing in relief. Stupid Ella, you can’t fool me.
And then I shocked her with the wedding news. What does she think we would marry in the church in the morning, huh?
“WE (DEVILS) MARRY AT MIDNIGHT.”
She shook after hearing my words, I couldn’t help but peck her face and comfort her with my words. She is too innocent and precious, I felt guilty too for cursing her, taking away her right to be with anyone, or to stay as a normal person.
But what can I do Ella, you have chosen this future by yourself by betraying me. I sat in the room, gazing intently at her while she swallowed down her food.
I was feeling more and more anger rising in me looking at her so unbothered and calm. Doesn’t she feel a bit of emotion for me? I felt too hurt by her calm behavior.
I asked her to get ready and then went down to bring the things I had bought for her. I wanted her to become a beautiful bride for me because this would be the first and last time she is becoming a bride, after this, she would never be able to wear a wedding dress ever.
When I placed everything neatly on the table I waited for her to come out, but she didn’t. I knocked at the door and heard her crying.
F**k, why is she crying. I wanted to go inside but I stopped myself and there her voice came calm and usual. I felt hurt and now I felt like I would cry.
She told me five minutes and I stood there in front of the door, leaning my head on it and sighing with slight guilt.
“I CAN’T DO THIS… PLEASE FORGIVE ME…”
I left the room quickly, put on the tuxedo that I had got for myself. I looked at the clock, it was past 2. It’s the time when I get the most powerful and I needed to release the curse into her at this moment.
I then gulped down the small bottle, that liquid burned me from inside and I winced in pain. F**K, the curse is not an easy thing, it’s painful and hard to do.
I gave her a last chance to tell me the truth by asking what was bothering her but she simply changed the topic asking me how she looks and I felt all my hopes crushed by her.
Well, it’s done and I won’t step away from cursing her at all, but with the curse, I will give her another surprise and that is my child. Once she will bear my child, the devil’s child she won’t be able to become a mother ever.
I will crush all her happiness into grief just like she did to me.
I took a deep look at her and then lifted her veil, looking into her eyes one last time searching for the last crushed hope to rise up again but no, she held my face and kissed me.
I wasn’t delighted but intoxicated by her kiss, she suddenly started crying making me confused but it was too late Ella, I couldn’t stop and she also asked me the same thing to not stop.
I devoured her whole body and told her my real name, I wanted her to remember me by my name. After releasing myself in her, I quietly took a few strands of her hair and then tore a little piece of her wedding dress while she was still asleep peacefully.
I flew to the witch as fast as I can and handed her the things she had asked. She looked pleased and then said something that completely shocked me. "You shouldn't have given her your seed."
Before I could understand her words, a force hits my back and I felt like pulling back to the house. "Ella..." I groaned and as expected she and Oliver threw me into the fire. It hurt me like hell and I screamed in pain, I was burning but I needed to give Ella my remaining powers so that she would get fully cursed but I stopped when I heard her sobbing my name. She looked pitiful and sad but for what? For me?
"I LOVE HIM" Ella's confession lit me up and then her determined voice came, "I WILL DIE WITH YOU, GAEL."
That proves that my Ella didn't betray me, she loves me as Gael as the devil but not Oliver. Forgetting about my pain and burn I looked at her in joy and surprise but then suddenly I realized that she is going to burn herself.
Not thinking for a single moment, I pushed her away because she needs to live, she took me as worthy of her love and even tried to end her life just to be with me that was enough for me. Now, it's my turn to sacrifice, I will sacrifice all the things and free her to live her life however she wants and also be able to love again and become a bride again, hopefully.
Bye my Ella, the only thing I wanted was the love that you showed me at last. I won't curse you and will never bother you again.
I HOPE THAT YOU WILL KEEP ME IN YOUR HEART ALWAYS JUST THE WAY I WOULD ALWAYS KEEP YOU, MY ELLA.
