Devil In Disguise

CHAPTER 27

Dominic's POV

"It all started before the both of us were even born. Your mother, Keila, was in a relationship with my father, Arthur. Their relationship was going smoothly until Arthur met my mother, Lucy, and he started to lose interest in Keila.

Mom was already engaged to Myst's father at the time. She met Arthur through Myst's father, who were both great friends at that time, and even though he knew it was wrong, Arthur pursued Lucy, making sure Myst's father wouldn't know as well as Keila. Arthur eventually broke up with Keila and she was left brokenhearted as Arthur didn't tell her why he fell out of love with her. So she kept watching Arthur, following him wherever he goes until one day, she found out the truth.

Keila got so mad at mom. She went to her and picked a fight with her but mom didn't want to have anything to do with her. She ran away from Keila and convinced Myst's father to get married immediately so that Arthur wouldn't bug her anymore.

And so they did. Mom thought that everything was going to be fine when she got pregnant to Myst's father and Myst came along. They were a happy family but Arthur still wasn't over her and wanted to get her so bad. Resulting from his obsession for mom, he kidnapped her and raped her while she was unconscious. Myst's father eventually saved her and sued Arthur. Their friendship got destroyed in that moment and Myst's father sent Arthur in jail.

Mom would eventually feel sick after what happened. She thought she catched an illness but the truth was she got pregnant with me. When she found out, she immediately told Myst's father and his first response was to get an abortion or give me away once I was born. But mom didn't want to. She also visited Arthur in prison to tell him what happened but he told her that he didn't want to have anything to do with her and me.

Keila kept visiting Arthur while he was in prison and he told her what happened. Keila was so mad that Arthur got my mom pregnant. She waited for me to be born and once mom gave birth to me, she made a way to have access to the nursery I was in the hospital.

She cursed me. She damned a demonic soul to possess me and live inside of me forever. She wanted to get rid of me to also get rid of the connection between Arthur and my mom because she thought that Arthur was pleased to have me but the truth is that he didn't care about me at all.

In my first few years of childhood I was still normal but when I grew older my demon was starting to show. The one who first saw it is Myst and he got scared of me that time. Mom taught me how to control it but to no avail. I couldn't keep it calm inside of me and no matter how much I try it still gets the best of me whenever I get really angry. I end up hurting people around me."

I took a deep breath and looked at Kara. There was this pity in her eyes that I didn't want to see. But maybe I was really pitiful.

"I read about that curse in mom's spell book," she said, "I didn't know it was possible..."

"Your mother made my life miserable. I had to bear the pain of knowing that I can hurt people I care about even though I don't want to. I had to live with the fact that I can never be a normal person and that no one can ever love me and accept me the way my mother did. She made my life a living hell. And I want her to feel the same way that's why I wanted to use you. But... I can't. Now that I fell for you, I don't want to anymore. I don't want you to hate me even more."

Tears started to fall from my eyes. It hurts me that I know Kara can't love me the way I do. I've never felt this way for someone and I've never opened up my heart for someone in fear of them just leaving me once they find out the truth. And now that I took the risk and did, I realize that it's impossible to love me. Nobody wants a demon. Everybody hates a demon.
