In a small city carrying secrets of great , people never knew that they'll pay for what was done in the past. some hearts were filled with love , others were darkened. When one life was taken , the other's life was cursed , but who to blame? The murderer or the murdered ?
It all started in 1922 , in New Orleans , Louisiana , a city that was known by it's charming music and it's amazing festivals , the people's laughter then was so loud that they never heard the others screaming asking for help.
" 20th of April , 1922
To my unforgettable love,
This is the 5th letter I write for you and you never wrote back , i know that you can't accept that I'm married now , but believe me this is not my fault, i never wanted this marriage , i was forced on it. my dear love I'm dying everyday; he's always drunk , my entire body is covered with bruises because of him , I'm living in hell with him. All i ever wanted was you, only you , we were supposed to live happily ever after , but fate hated to see us happy. Please answer my letters..i need you"
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes.
"I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do.
Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek.
"Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip.
He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady.
"I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist
"Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch.
How can someone so beautiful be so heartless?
