The Wedding Night Curse CHAPTER 118 – The Last Will
Alika's POVI woke up, still gasping for breath. The air in the room felt thick, as if holding the leftover heat from a dream that had just embraced me too tightly. Ethan sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes fixed on me for a long moment. There was a look I couldn’t quite read—between longing, jealousy, and… suspicion.“There’s something… different about you tonight,” he said softly. His fingers traced along my arm. “You’re sweating… not the usual kind. It’s… like the scent of two people.”My heart pounded hard. I swallowed, unable to meet his gaze.Ethan moved closer, his face nearer until I could feel his breath on my lips. His brown eyes devoured me, and for a moment, I thought he would kiss me. But just before our lips met, I turned my face away.“I… need to go to the bathroom,” I whispered hurriedly, then got out of bed.I could feel Ethan’s gaze stuck to my back as I walked away. The bathroom door closed
The Wedding Night Curse CHAPTER 117 – The Mirror-Walled Nursery
Alika’s POV I didn’t sleep that night. I couldn’t. Every time I closed my eyes, the baby’s face appeared—sometimes glowing red, sometimes gold like impossible sunlight. And every time I tried to recall the last moment I held him, what came instead was a strange chime in my ears… then silence. As if he had simply vanished from my arms. Ethan hadn’t come home. He said he needed to make sure the manor was secure. But I knew that was just an excuse. He didn’t want to look at me now. Not after everything that had happened in the birthing room. Mrs. Manor—the old woman who moved slowly but whose eyes were razor-sharp—watched over me. She gave me warm tea, but spoke little. Sometimes I caught her staring out the window, toward the manor’s gates, as if she were waiting for someone. Or… something. There was a secret in her eyes. And I hated to admit… I feared she
The Wedding Night Curse CHAPTER 116 – The Nameless Priest
Ethan didn’t move. His breath caught when the baby—this tiny creature that should not have been looking at him that way—smiled with burning red eyes.Mrs. Whitmore stepped between them. “Don’t touch it. Not now.”“It’s my child,” Ethan said quietly, but the edge in his voice was a threat. He took a step forward, and the wedding gown spread across the floor moved on its own, lace and fabric creeping up to form a barrier between him and the baby. The air turned cold, every exhale visible like mist.Alika began to shiver. Her eyelids drooped, her face pale. “Ethan… something’s wrong… I can’t feel my legs.”The midwife snatched a small pouch from her bag and tossed white ash into the air while murmuring a prayer that sounded like a blend of Latin and some ancient tongue. The baby laughed—light and crisp, yet weighed with something so heavy the floor itself vibrated.The bedroom lights flickered three times. Glass cracked in the wind
The Wedding Night Curse CHAPTER 115 – The Dress That Grew on Its Own
Alika’s POVI don’t remember exactly when the drowsiness began to creep in. Maybe after Ethan left the room without saying much. Maybe after I’d sat too long in the chair, staring at the black book still resting on my lap.My head felt heavy, my eyes too hard to keep open. My breathing slowed, and before I could fight it, I was already trapped in darkness.But the darkness wasn’t empty.The sky above me turned deep crimson, like a sunset that refused to fade. In front of me stood a man—tall, broad-shouldered, with long black hair falling neatly across his shoulders. His face… was too perfect to be human. A strong jawline, sharp golden eyes, thin but dangerously inviting lips. Something about him made it impossible to look away.“Who are you?” My voice was hoarse, yet I wasn’t afraid.He gave me a faint smile, stepping forward slowly. Every movement seemed to ripple the air around us, like heat rising from
The Wedding Night Curse CHAPTER 114 – The Book Beneath the Floor
Alika’s POVThat morning felt heavier than usual. The sun couldn’t even cut through the fog clinging low over the village. The inn’s kitchen was silent; the only sound was the faint crackle of wood in a nearly dead stove. I sat in a wooden chair, a cup of cold tea in front of me, staring at the floor without really seeing it.That image—of the man holding another woman—was still burned into my mind. I kept trying to convince myself it was nothing more than a trick of the glass reflection last night. But the heat in my chest every time I remembered it was far too real to be just a dream.I drained the last of my tea, forcing my thoughts elsewhere, until my eyes caught on a floorboard near the kitchen cupboard. Its color was slightly different. Darker. The edge was cracked. And only now did I notice—it sat just a little higher than the others, as if it had been pried open before.Every instinct
The Wedding Night Curse Chapter 113 – The Night the Sky Went Silent
Alika’s POVI was still standing at the edge of the forest.The fog swallowed the place whole, like a damp cloth wrapped over my head, making it hard to breathe. The image of that man—dark suit, broad shoulders, head bowed toward a pale-skinned woman—burned in my mind. I wanted to convince myself it wasn’t Ethan, but that jawline… there was no mistaking it.My fists were still clenched. My palms stung where my nails had dug into the skin. I hadn’t realized I’d been glaring at the spot where they stood, hoping the fog would thin and reveal the truth. But all I got was silence.Then came the voice.Not laughter. Not a wedding song. A whisper, so close it felt like it brushed the shell of my ear.“Mama…”I flinched and spun around. No one. Only the fog, twisting lazily as if stirred by a faint wind.Each step felt heavier as I made my way back to the village path. Tonight, the oil lamps in the houses
