Kain's POVSally assumed that I wanted to use her as a backup plan, and still followed me to the graveyard.According to her, she was willing to die, to break the curse. She had always wanted to be a superhero, so she didn't mind sacrificing herself to save Kerah and the future of the Skanda females."I promise you I didn't have such plans." She laughed again. She was laughing and crying. She used her palm to wipe the tears off and then used her face towel to blow her nose.And after she was done, she burst into laughter again."Everything you have said is funny because you failed to know the true identity of who you have been dating."She drew closer to me and traced my steps away from her."Listen, I can read minds." Sally looked around the cemetery as if to confirm that we were all alone, and we were.She sighed and nodded in disappointment."You did think I was so naive?""But! But, why did you kiss me?" It was her first kiss. Why would she kiss me after "finding out" that I was p

Mr skanda's POV.I took her contact number and left. I made the mistake of leaving mine with her because it seems the woman has an eye for me.She dropped eighteen messages on my WhatsApp, ten of which were her best photos. She missed me calls, and before I was active, she had already begun complaining that I was thinking she is cheap."You have such good looks." She responded when I sent her Hi."Thank you." I wasn't interested in whatever she was driving. She told me that her husband was away, and so was everyone else. She added that it was just her son and she, in the whole apartment. "That's nice."

"Hello, sir." I let go of Sally and turned to face him."Sinner boy, that's what you are. Aren't you both still in high school, why would you be out here doing icky things like this?"Sally and I shared a glance. She motioned for me to walk on without responding to him, and I obeyed her. Sally can read minds.That was one thing I had to keep reminding myself. No matter what happens, Sally can know what the person is thinking, so she would be of great help to me throughout this journey.We got to the gate and left without saying a word to him. He was surprised that we walked out on him, especially because we were too very respectful youngsters with very good records."You both are fools, you hear?" I heard him scream behind us, but neither of us turned back. Not even to steal a glance.We walked down the street calmly, we held hands. "So, if you don't find this Julianne of a girl's grave, there's no hope for Kerah?""Seems like it." I sighed. Two days had gone by, and I was yet to achi

Mr skanda's POVIt was a brand new day. It was nine days left for me to fix my mistakes, or forget about them.I drove in my car to Julianne's. The sun was still rising when I got to her place, it was a few minutes past seven. I rang the doorbell, and the little boy answered."Hello, good morning sir." He stood in front of me, still wearing his pajamas."Good morning boy! How are you doing?" My thoughts raced back to my conversation with his mother yesterday. She said he was deaf and dumb. But wasn't he the one who just greeted me?Has he been feigning to be deaf, and dumb all along, or was his mother lying to me? It had to be either of the two."Very well Mr. Skanda. Thank you!" He smiled at me. He appeared so comfortable around me.His mother appeared behind him a few seconds after he gave his response."You came earlier than I imagined." She giggled. Her long hair that I admired the day before was strapped firmly with a scarf. She was putting on nightwear just like my wife. I could

Mr. Skanda's POVI stood from the sofa and stretched. I walked to the main door and shut it. And then I headed for the backyard. My heartbeat was fast, and I perspired. I was a nervous wreck. I didn't know what exactly I was scared of, but I knew I had a feeling that something bad was about to happen."Helloooo!" I screamed into Julianne's bedroom after I turned the knob. No one responded."Are you there?" The silence responded.I walked in. When I turned to my left, she was still there. Like she has always been.I swallowed and kept walking. When she and I had come here years back, I came to this bedroom with her. It was in this bedroom that we had that affair that led to the pregnancy. Her bed was still the same, the 32 inches bed, with lots of memories made on it. Happy and painful ones. The picture we took together after I won the track race competition. Her study table was intact, it wasn't dusty. Books were scattered on it. Her bed was well made. The abstract painting we both bi

Mr skanda's POVShe took her outer clothes off, it didn't take her a minute to do it. That was after she had removed her heels, and flung them away. And then, she joined me to watch the show."It's a good show." She drew closer to me and rested her head on my chest. I was breathing heavily, I did not subscribe to any of this. All I wanted, was to get to Julianne's grave. I had so much faith that if I could get to her grave, she would speak to me. I kept my eyes on the screen, my brain worked like a clock. There had to be a way out."Yes, it is." "I hope you weren't bored after I left?" She rubbed my shoulders."No, I wasn't." My eyes were still fixated on the screen."Okay, Skanda." She sat on my lap. She wasn't waiting for me to say a word, or to say my opinions, all she wanted was me. All she wanted to do was devour me. She ran her hands down my chest, and slowly began to unbutton my shirt seductively."Mrs. Sophia, please! I'm your husband's friend. I shouldn't betray him in this
Age nineteen Chapter one
I sat on one of the brocade-colored sofas, by my mother's side. My relationship with my mother was nothing to write home about. Even though I looked just like my mother, our characters were quite opposite. I had her brown hair and her cute black eyes. I also inherited the brightly colored pink, and thin lips from her, her youthful and rosy cheek was also evident on my face. Some people suggested that if I got older, I would be the same height as she was. And definitely, as curvy as she was. In literal terms, I was a younger copy of my mother. The only thing I Inherited from my father was his temperament. I was as beautiful as my mother and as cool-headed as my father. My mother, unlike my father, who made a joke out of everything, got irritated even by what others thought was funny. She nagged at my father and despised spending time with him. If my father were home, I would be with him In the garden or his bedroom. But my father was out of town on an emergency business trip. And my
