I Burned the Past, and He Burned for Me Chapter 9
Ella's screams were silenced as two of Oliver's men gagged her and hauled her off like a carcass.Having witnessed everything, Oliver immediately dropped to his knees before me and said, "I know there's a way you can save me, Cynthia. I was wrong about everything that happened before this, so please accept my apology and save me, Cynthia!"Madre also knelt before me. Her makeup was smudged beyond recognition. "Please save Oliver, Cynthia! I'll give you anything you want—wealth, jewelry, power!"I asked with a smile, "You claimed you and Ella shared true love, didn't you? What could be better than eternal companionship in damnation? You shouldn't waste your breath begging me here, Oliver."Oliver hammered his head against the ground repeatedly, causing blood to instantly ooze from his forehead. "That's not true, Cynthia! Ella was the one who seduced me! She was the one who fed me those lies about you being promiscuous! I, on the other hand, was gullible enough to believe her! "You

I led William, who still hadn't had his fill, toward the door. I opened the door to find Mom and Dad covered in grime. Ella was there too, and her wrists were bound behind her with coarse rope. They were kneeling wretchedly before the threshold.Ella's once-stunning features were swollen and bruised, with traces of blood lingering at the corner of her lips. Her eyes, fixed upon me, were burning with a furious mix of malice and defeat.Madre slapped Ella hard across the face before Ella could even get a word in. "Is that how you apologize to someone? How dare you glance at Cynthia in such a manner! I'll gouge your eyes out if you do that again, Ella!"Ella was struck so hard that blood started spilling from the corner of her mouth, staining the clean, polished floor. I deliberately approached her, then crouched down before her, saying, "You've lost the wager, Ella.""I haven't lost!" Ella's head snapped up. Her gaze—which had been dull and lifeless—suddenly ignited with a raging f

I had just pushed the door open when I noticed a completely black silhouette standing before William and me.Oliver yanked Ella's hair, paying no mind to her desperate screams, and kicked her repeatedly in blind fury. His face was completely shrouded in tangled black hair, and through it, his bloodshot eyes were glinting. His once-perfect nose had caved in as well, transforming him into the very monster from the legends.William was also taken aback by Oliver's appearance.Upon spotting me, Oliver lunged forward, only for William to block him with lightning speed. Oliver, who was pinned firmly against the wall by William, still fixed his gaze on me and yelled hoarsely, "That conniving woman tricked me, Cynthia! Ella possesses no witch lineage! She couldn't even lift the curse on me! You have to help me, Cynthia!" Madre rushed to my side and seized my sleeve. She looked desperate. "Oscar is the only son I have, Cynthia! Please have mercy and save Oliver!"I did feel a pang of pity

Oliver's desperate shrieks immediately drew the attention of the assembled guests, who quickly clustered together.Oliver was about to lose his temper, but the moment he turned, a chorus of collective gasps came from the guests."Oh, my goodness! Look! Oliver's hands! They're actually sprouting black hair!""It's not just his hands; pointed fangs are suddenly showing at the edges of his mouth! It's absolutely horrific!""I knew that the witch's curse was extremely powerful! Isn't Ella supposedly a descendant of witches? How could she fail to lift the curse and even allow Oliver to transform into a monster?"Oliver was immediately stung by all the chatter surrounding him. He stared at the black hair growing quickly on his hands and then tentatively felt the sharp fangs at the corners of his lips. He was instantly overwhelmed with an agonizing blend of shame and dread.He quickly tightened the blanket about himself and began hammering on the door. "Please open the door, Cynthia! I

It was then that the sickening crack of bone echoed throughout the surroundings. Dad's tears and snot flowed instantly as he pleaded desperately for release. "L-Let go of me! Cynthia was the one who abandoned her family for another man! She's no concern of ours anymore! We have formally severed all family ties with her!"William let go of Dad's wrist with a look of pure revulsion and kicked Dad aside. He paid no mind to the accusations and looked at me with eyes that held nothing but an intense, unwavering gentleness. "Cynthia is the woman I chose to be my wife. I will stand by her, cherish her, and shield her, irrespective of any gossip, and we'll remain together forever."Upon hearing that, Don Bryant's usually weary eyes suddenly flickered with a hint of emotion. "Go on, William. That curse that's binding you will finally be lifted for good tonight."Having nodded in response, William grabbed my hand and led me toward the priest.I had just walked past Oliver when he suddenly

I suddenly felt a cold sensation wash over my face.Ella stood before me while holding a bucket of ice water. Her gaze was blazing with pure hatred. "Cynthia Crawford! How could you be so wretched? When did you start seducing Oliver? How could you make him take you as his mistress and even force me to deliver food to you?"I raised my hand and wiped the water from my face. I said, "It's because he himself has no faith that you're capable of lifting the curse."Ella violently threw the food container to the ground while yelling, "You'd better stop being so full of yourself, Cynthia! You and I possess witch blood! What makes you think you can do it while I can't? "You must have secretly seduced Oliver, which is why he wants you as his mistress. You'll never, in your life, rise above my station, Cynthia!"I offered no retort. Instead, I met her gaze with a placid expression. "Do you truly wish to be rivals with me for the rest of our days, or would you rather let me walk away and fo
