All Chapters of Tears' Curse: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Adorned with hanging balloons, the Heagen Hotel ballroom buzzed with the lively chatter of Stellaerians. Vibrant lights flickered overhead, casting colorful patterns that danced across the floor. Near the grand entrance stood a three-tier cupcake stand, its trays artfully arranged with delicate slices of kiwi, cheesecake, and chocolate mint-flavored cakes. Beside it, upside-down wine glasses were aligned next to juice dispensers labeled orange and apple.Melvin was in full white, his slicked-back hair glinting with flecks of gold glitter. Thanks to the perfect proportions of his body, the moment he stepped into the hall, every pair of eyes in the room was irresistibly drawn to him.He was seductively hot.Even Christine, who was engaged in a conversation at the side of the water fountain, dropped her jaw at his charismatic appearance."Come on. I'm not bad either, okay?" Kingsley mumbled to himself as Melvin basked in the limelight with his suit.Well, he wasn't exactly willing to lend

Away from the hotel, Miracle ran into the night owned by none but chirps of crickets scratching the silence. The side slit on her black dress tore, struggling to keep pace with her agility. Howling gales battered her face, chilling the sweat trickling down her trembling chin. She shivered, shudders biting into her reforming human skin.One thing was clear.Beck's healing power wasn't enough to replenish the energy she had lost. "I should've expected this." She came to a brief stop, panting. "Now what should I do?"Just as she let her guard down, sharp rustling broke the stillness, rippling through the surrounding bushes like a predator closing in. It didn't sound like just one or two.It was everywhere."Plan B, huh?"The beasts surged from the shadows, their green forms seething with vengeance as they forced Miracle into the center of their encroaching circle. Malodorous stench from their moans suffocated the air. The eyes that once belonged to the noble gatekeepers of Long Sheng Jie

Drop by drop, her tears fell, etching tracks of despair on her pale face. At that moment, she was so fragile it seemed the chilly wind might carry her away at any moment. Her chest heaved up and down, each breath she took resembling an icy blade, stabbing mercilessly at her heart.She didn't want to believe what the truth was showing. But there was no escape. "Don't touch me," Miracle hissed when he came over to help her stand.Mynheex were gone. And there stood Melvin in silence, neither moving forward nor backward. She stared daggers at him, hating how he was still in his suit but no longer the same person she knew. His hair was a mess. The bow tie at his collar was split apart. Green slime was all over him with hints of blood peeking through from his fresh wounds. "You knew I was a white dragon." She choked back her tears. "But you pretended to have lost your memories, pretended to be an ordinary mortal, pretended to be a victim..." Miracle pushed the words through her gritted te

"Look, look! She's here!" "Hey, wasn't it a magic trick?""I've no idea why I felt like I've forgotten something important. I just don't feel good seeing her around.""Whatever. I don't wanna think about it." All eyes were on Miracle the moment she stepped onto the school grounds. Unlike her first day, there was no wonder in their gazes—only doubt and suspicion. Her grip tightened on the straps of her bag, her hands trembling as she felt the weight of their attention. It would have been much obvious if Lyn hadn't wrapped her palm around hers."Don't worry. Just act like you always do," Lyn whispered in her right ear. "Exactly. You still have us backing you up," said Kingsley in her other.As they walked along the corridor to their classroom, a girl from another class rushed out and accidentally knocked into Miracle. Her biology report, with meticulous sketches on almost every page, scattered across the floor.Avery was her name, neatly printed on the orange name tag.Miracle helped

Along the way, none of them spoke. Miracle folded her arms across her chest and fixed her gaze on the ground. Melvin tried to start a conversation, but his words fell flat each time, swallowed by the distance she deliberately kept between them. She refused to respond to him. Even the stray cats and dogs strolling along the streets seemed closer to each other compared to them. "We're here," he said. She lifted her head, the cool swish of air brushing past the fine hairs on her cheeks. Despite the stiffness in her neck, a faint smile still curved her lips as her eyes settled on the familiar, serene view before her.The leaves danced in the wind, spinning gracefully as they fluttered from their branches, carried away like fleeting memories. The surrounding pine trees shimmered, their needles glistening as rays broke through the layers of clouds above. The sun cast a warm, golden glow over everything, making the moment feel calm and a little magical—like time had slowed just for her.Und
