All Chapters of The Savior and the Jinx: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

As I pressed send, Susan, who had always ignored my messages, called me instantly on video.On the screen, I could see her face contorted indignantly because Mark was being dismissed, and she bellowed shrilly, "Have you lost your mind?! Mark was just joking, and you're telling him to drop dead?!"He helped deliver that puppy! Do you know how precious it is to him?! Apologize to him right now, or I'm not saving your son next month too!"I subtly pressed the button to record the call and asked calmly, "So in your heart, our son is worth less than Mark's dog?!""Mark raised that dog!" Susan shot back without hesitation. "It means everything to him! Don't even try to make an issue with our son!"I promptly hung up on her and sent the video to my mentor.Everyone knew that Susan could speak to save a life, but they had no idea that I was the opposite.I was born with jinx speech, able to twist even good fortune into disaster.My mentor had sealed my powers in case I abused that abil

Mark came out of the bedroom with his dog right then, his eyes widened as he feigned shock. "Zach! Have you lost your mind?! How could you curse your own wife?"Then, with the dog in one hand and Susan in the other, he huffed, "Let's go. A man like him doesn't deserve you."Susan smirked at me haughtily as I stayed on the floor. "I told you, Zach—you don't even measure up to Mark's little finger."Then, holding Mark's chin, she kissed him, their lips and tongue slurping audibly in the living room.I glanced at the cameras on the wall.When Susan had those installed, she told me it was to see me since she was always out on business trips.Now, it was going to be proof for my divorce case.Even as I turned away, my curse took hold as Susan's assistant rushed inside, crying in panic, "Ms. York, the core project has just been called off, and our partners are threatening to nullify the contract!"Susan's face dropped.-After that day, Susan didn't leave her office for two weeks,

Unable to accept the truth, Susan's face was pale and her fingers trembling as she clenched on my sleeve, until she spotted Mark sneaking inching toward the door."Mark!!!" she bellowed. "Why did you hide this from me?! Why did you hide something so important from me?!"Mark almost passed out from her bellow, but he forced a smile and argued, "I meant no harm. I just don't want to see you sad…"Before he could finish, I stared right at his lying mouth as I cursed him under my breath, "From now on, Mark Stanley will suffer a broken bone every time he lies."Susan heard me and glared at me in disapproval, while Mark thought nothing of it and went up to tug on her sleeve as he continued, "I was just going to wait before I tell you, because I don't want to see you sad…"As he finished and walked past me, his left foot tripped over his right foot, and he fell face first.Worst of all, as his leg struck the steps, his bones cracked and broke audibly, and his face contorted in unbearabl

It was a smooth divorce—Susan wouldn't dare mess with me with my jinxing abilities.Still, while she thought she was safe with my promise, her troubles had just started.The first was Mark getting discharged.He worked for her as a secretary, and there was nowhere to go with her company going bankrupt.Having no choice but to follow her around, he coaxed her and assured her, "It's alright. Without Zach being an eyesore, I'm sure you'll soon pull yourself together and even become a billionaire!"Just as Susan found comfort in such sweet words, a bone fractured audibly as Mark finished. Even his encouragement was just lies to please her.Susan was furious seeing that but decided to take him to the hospital out of compassion.However, as soon as she left the house, an oncoming truck sent her flying.Somehow, Mark just lost one bone after that day, while she ended up paraplegic.Without money in her accounts, she could only afford basic treatment.Seeing that she couldn't move
