Cursed Love

CH-1

Author's Pov

The thundering words that escaped the tall man's lips left the girl in front of him paralyzed in pure dread, blood drained out of her system as soon as his soul-ripping words fell over her ears. Suddenly all she heard was a beeping sound in her ears.

Her heart thumped crazily against her chest, she unhurriedly stepped back shaking her head repeatedly which earned a sorrowful look from the man who broke the nerve-wracking news to her.

"W-What?" Finally, a cracked whisper erupted her lips while gazing at the man in pure terror. A heavy sigh broke out of his lips as he smoothly stepped away from the door letting four men step ahead with a wooden coffin in their hands.

Eyes widened, lips parted in horror, and heart palpitating severely in pain, Bella's hands turned ice cold followed by the tingling burning sensation in her eyes, everything felt so unreal yet true enough to consider a slow poison spreading in the veins.

Her hands trembled harshly witnessing the bulky cops placing the coffin in the middle of the living room, tears swiftly kissed her cheeks fixating her blurry ocean orbs on the wooden coffin. The man who broke the terrible truth to her stared at her bloated face for a few seconds before licking his lips in sadness.

The girl was too young to face this harsh reality but what anyone could do, it was fate, a bitter fact that her father left her earlier than they have ever expected. This is just the way life is, everyone has to go and today was his end.

With a heavy heart, the tall man opened the coffin revealing the pale face of the dead man lying inside it, his body shudder in despair as soon as he heard a loud agonizing scream trembling out of the young girl's lips.

"NO!" She screamed with her all might not believing the truth that was playing right before her ocean eyes, wasting no second ahead she ran towards the coffin dropping her shawl on the ground in the process.

She dropped to her knees beside the coffin raising her trembling hands, lightly touching her dad's pale cheeks her watered eyes rapidly tried to search for any trace of life in him but nothing. He was lifeless, pale, and dead without any doubt behind. Her body shivered in horror as she hastily wiggled her head sideways.

"No, no, no dad. Open your eyes no!" She cried out vocally, caressing her father's cheeks trying hard to feel his breath but to no avail. Her cries steadily turned louder which didn't do any justice to the grief that the officers were already feeling.

She threw her forehead against her father's letting her pearl-like tears soak his pale face, "Please wake up! I beg you, don't do this!" She wept madly squeezing her forehead against his ice-cold ones.

Her wailing didn't show any help to the sleeping woman, the continuous whimpers of the disturbed daughter brought the other young girl out of her room as well, she stepped out only to see a few well-built suited men standing around someone covering the whole space of the living room.

"Bella," She called out for her sister only for the men to turn their heads towards her, only one look at her and they knew the bawling colleen wasn't the only one at loss, this girl was yet to find out the venomous truth.

The men stepped away revealing the lethal reality to the teenager as well, her frowning gaze fell on her crying sister first and then she trailed her confused eyes towards the source of Bella's agonized screams, her legs trembled in pure shock, eyes broadened and lips shuddered in dread.

"Dad." A noxious whimper broke out of her lips as soon as she realized what was happening, Bella had no strength to part away from her father while Sarah stumbled back shaking her head like a maniac.
