My Cursed Mate

There was no hesitation in Vega’s eyes as he left first and Kazandra followed with a smile. Evos was back and was waiting for them at the parking lot. After cooling off for a while, he managed to return but he was not completely okay.

“You can go ahead to the dormitory. I’ll be going with Kazandra.” Vega gave the man a nod before taking all his baggage and transferring it to the woman’s car.

Evos did not even have the chance to ask why before they left. Vega even volunteered to drive them to Kazandra’s house. The drive only took them an hour. They reached a private estate surrounded by trees. The gate opened and it took roughly ten minutes before they finally reached the woman’s house.

Vega carried his baggage and followed the woman inside. The house was simple and not that extravagant. Even the inside of it doesn’t have any over the top decorations such as those huge chandeliers or statues. Everything was kept simple.

“I’ll lead you to your room.” Kazandra walked to the stairs and Vega silently followed.

The second floor also had a living room just at the top of the stairs. There was a hallway to the right and to the left. Kazandra turned left and stopped before the door at the end of the hallway.

“You’ll be staying here. If you need anything, I’m on the opposite side.” She pointed at the door to the right side. “I’ll give you a house tour tomorrow. For now, we should rest first.”

Vega nodded. Kazandra backed away and let him open the door. He looked inside and saw that the room was perfectly clean. He also noticed that all the sheets were new. It felt like it was prepared beforehand like the owner was anticipating something.

“Were you expecting this turn of events?” Vega looked back and saw a playful smile on the woman’s face.

“Can’t I?” She winked before she left for her own room. She did not stay to wait for the man’s answer.

Vega watched the woman sassed away and the smile he had been holding back finally appeared on his face. He shook his head and entered the room. The room had all the basic amenities, a king-sized bed, a walk-in closet, a bathroom, a small waiting ang reading area. It also has its own balcony that overlooks the vast land that the woman owned. It was a good place for a run. Vega shook his head.

“I might not be able to run for a long time.”

Kazandra’s home was silent throughout the night but unlike her home, another place was in a tense silence. In that dark room filled with the smell of candle, a man was sitting on the ground surrounded by several people. His eyes were closed while he was whispering words that none of the people with him understood.

After a few minutes, the man opened his eyes and a wind suddenly blew off all the light from the candles. The people surrounding him firmly closed their eyes. The chanting got louder and a sudden drumming sound echoed inside the room. The ground even started to shake but the man at the center did not stop.

The shaking stopped and the man became silent. He looked around him and saw that the people who were surrounding him were all dead. The man stood up and left that dark room without giving the cold bodies a glance. He came out to a receiving room where another man was calmly sipping coffee.

“A disaster is about to happen. He has reappeared.” The man who came out from the dark room sat down and faced the man who was sipping coffee.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Has she found him?” The other man asked and got a nod as an answer. He then stood up, “I’ll be on my way then.”

The man who gave the warning glanced at the window. His thoughts were in the past and on that tragedy that changed everything, now they were doing the same thing. Their twisted belief resulted in a catastrophe and yet they weren’t going to stop.

He may have regrets but it was his job to tell them the possibilities of the future. If a disaster was really going to happen because he was back, then what would they call the disaster that happened during the first time they meddled with the lives of those people. He closed his eyes and whispered an inaudible word through the air.

Vega woke up even before the sun could rise. He left his room as silently as he could. He couldn’t miss a run, especially because the estate was surrounded with trees and the air was cool. He did a couple of laps around the house and explored a bit through the woods until he came to a lake.

The lake’s water was as clear as crystal and its surrounding was serene. He didn’t expect to find something like this in Zaithan City or perhaps it was only in Kazandra’s property. It reminded him of home and it also made him more comfortable.

Vega laid down on the grass beside the lake and closed his eyes. It was a rest he needed before he could start the day. As the first rays of the sun started to fill the lake, Vega rose and left. The house was silent but his ear could hear that the kitchen was busy.

Instead of returning to his room, he walked to the direction of the kitchen. He was immediately mesmerized at what he saw. Kazandra was wearing a yellow dress with her hair in a bun while humming around the kitchen. She was swaying with the tune while cooking breakfast.

He leaned on the door’s frame and watched as the woman continued to dance with a smile on her face. She was so engrossed that she did not notice the man. Kazandra was busy with making waffle nachos and brewing coffee for the both of them.

She’s been enjoying cooking and to be able to cook breakfast for Vega was something she dreamed of. It was something she had never done in the past. Now that she had the chance, she won’t pass up the opportunity to impress him. This time she would do what she could to make it up to him.

After the waffle was done, she turned around to plate it and then noticed the person who was watching her. Kazandra did not get shy and instead gave the man a wink.

“You should go and change first and let’s have breakfast.” Kazandra pointed at his sweaty self and shirt.
