Madden’s POV

The thunder last night had stopped but it hadn’t really stopped in me.

Even now, every step I took down the stairs felt like I was dragging some invisible weight behind me. It clung to my spine and coiled in my gut. What transpired last night pissed the hell out of me.

My therapist called it unresolved childhood trauma. He said my nervous system was still stuck in the basement of that old house, the one my parents set on fire with their hate.

He said the thunder made me six again.

Guess what? I told him to go to hell.

But last night? Last night proved him right, because I broke and I fucking broke in her arms.

As I got down the stairs,The scent of cinnamon and freshly brewed coffee hit before I stepped into the dining room. When I spotted her, my rage increased as my thoughts veered to last night.

How dare she walk into my room and act like she cared??

I'm not buying it. This version of her that smiles now, it doesn't make sense. Her sudden chattiness? Her dress

  • BURIED AS HIS LOVE, REBORN AS HIS CURSE.    Lust.

    (This chapter is filled with alternating POVs of Madden and Calla.)Calla’s POVI stood outside for a moment longer, numb. The cold air didn’t sting anymore, it just settled over me like silence. The kind that follows heartbreak. Nyla was a bitch– that was confirmed today by her reckless words. She's trying to sabotage this relationship that I'm dying to salvage.Then the door creaked behind me and I heard her fragile, fake- whiny voice. “isa?”I turned slowly, the urge to murder her consuming me.. Isa’s rage was deep in me and I was ready to use it. “What the fuck do you want?" She stepped out, arms wrapped around herself. Her makeup had smudged, and she looked more tired than smug now. “I just…” she sighed. “I’m sorry. For everything I said back there. I was stupid and messy and jealous, and I—” her voice cracked, “—I know you don’t want to see me again. I deserve that.”I wanted to scream. I wanted to tell her I didn’t care about her guilt. But changing my mind, I said, “It’s fine

  • BURIED AS HIS LOVE, REBORN AS HIS CURSE.    Ruined Date.

    CALLA’S POVMy hand tightened around my glass of water. “What did you say?" I was seething already, glaring daggers at her.Nyla only smiled, “What a coincidence,” she said sweetly, her eyes flicking to mine. “Madden and I used to come here all the time. Isn’t that right, Maddy?”Maddy?My head turned slightly, just enough to catch the flicker in Madden’s eyes—annoyance, maybe guilt.He cleared his throat. “It’s been a while.”“Still,” she breathed, “feels like yesterday.”I smiled coldly. . “Good to know your memory’s sharp.My mind started spinning. It's probable that Madden has an affair with her. I mean, why wouldn't he– when his wife is a total whore?? But then, wasn't he hostile with Nyla? When I brought her to the villa? Or was it a fucking act?And why should I care?? I'm just here to fix things so my chances of getting a revenge isn't jeopardized, right??The waiter finally appeared with his notepad and I gave myself a mental jab to clear my thoughts.“Good evening, are you

  • BURIED AS HIS LOVE, REBORN AS HIS CURSE.    Unexpected Presence.

    MADDEN'S POV:I woke up pissed off.Not because of the cold or the ache in my shoulder or the relentless knock of responsibility. No. I was pissed because of her. Because somewhere between midnight and the first breath of sunlight, I dreamed of Isadora laughing. She was not screaming like a woman possessed or glaring. This time, she was holding my hand like it was something precious. And I didn’t want to let go.God.What the fuck is wrong with me?I groaned, dragging my hand across my face, already regretting being conscious. I needed a shower. I needed black coffee. I needed someone to punch.Instead, my phone buzzed. And buzzed again. And again. What on earth?I turned it over and squinted at the screen. Isadora has spammed me with countless messages. Is she sick in the head?? I almost wanted to ignore them because of my foul mood.“Don’t forget about dinner tonight ”“7PM sharp. No excuses.”“I’m dressing up for this. Don’t be a troll.”“Seriously. I will hunt you down and drag

  • BURIED AS HIS LOVE, REBORN AS HIS CURSE.    The Girl Under The Rain.

    General POV: ~Flashback~24 YEARS AGO.The storm outside rumbled like a beast awakening. Rain lashed against the windows, scaring the hell out of him. His parents were arguing again, madly.“Don’t lie to me, Genevieve!” Kane’s voice cracked like thunder, deep and venomous.Madden was small then—Six, to be precise—curled up at the top of the stairs, barely breathing, heart hammering like a drum in his tiny chest.“I’m not lying, Kane! You’re the one sneaking around with Celine like I wouldn’t find out!” Genevieve spat back. She was fire when she was angry. Her voice shook with rage.A glass shattered and Madden nearly screamed from his hiding spot. He knows how deadly their arguments can't get.“You think I’d want you anymore?” Kane hissed, his voice low now, vicious. “You’re nothing but a whore who plays dress-up like a wife. You parade around this house like a queen but you’ve been fucking me over since the day I married you.”Madden’s little hands pressed tighter to the banis

  • BURIED AS HIS LOVE, REBORN AS HIS CURSE.    "Mad Boy."

    Madden's POV;She couldn't help me upstairs to my room so she took me to the lounge and helped me on a couch.The ice had long since numbed my ankle, but her hands were still on me, wrapping, adjusting, and smoothing the bandage like she wasn’t the same woman who once screamed she hated me.She sat beside the couch like she belonged there. She was rubbing her hands nervously, as if she didn't know what else to do.I didn’t say anything either. Mostly because I didn’t know what would come out of my mouth. I prayed it wouldn't be something soft because these few days my mind’s unpredictable as hell.From across the room, Genevieve’s voice still crackled faintly from the floor where the phone lay. “Madden?” Her voice was rich with contempt. “What’s going on? Why is she there? Why is she touching you?”I sighed out.. shit! I forgot I didn't disconnect the call. I'm pretty sure she's been talking all this while but I paid no attention to her because someone else got it.Isadora finally l

  • BURIED AS HIS LOVE, REBORN AS HIS CURSE.    An Injury.

    Madden’s POVThe next day. I stared at the messages Nyla sent me after I had her reassigned, trying to guilt trip me into changing my mind – as if she doesn't know Madden Blackwell. Sob stories don't work on my impervious heart.I deleted them all immediately, grabbing my cup of black coffee, sighing out. I don't know why she's here but something feels very off. Two days ago, she called me begging for her job back– despite me countlessly telling her that she's not fired but reassigned– and Isa mentioned last night that she was kidnapped. How is that true??A shift in the air made me glance toward the corridor. And speak of the devil, it was Nyla coming out.She paused when she saw me, then gave a small wave like we were friendly. “Hi.”I didn’t respond. Just looked at her.She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and gave a tight smile, pretending not to notice the silence. “Um… I just wanted to say I’m heading out. Isadora got me a place somewhere in the city. It’s a nice apartment
