One More Night

“Yes, come, sit down, everyone.” Carole wore an elegant suit and a pink-blue scarf around her neck. She looked young and outstanding. She greeted the crowd with a gentle smile.

At this time, she said to Nicole, “Nicole, I’m very glad that you are now a member of my family. I’m here in a hurry and have nothing to give you. This is a meeting gift.”

After saying that, she smiled and pushed out a brocade box from her side to Nicole’s hand. Nicole was very surprised and very embarrassed.

“Thank you, Mom.” She said and smiled.

Carole smiled back, she liked the blushing Nicole very much. Even if they got married, there would inevitably be all kinds of benefits games. She didn’t expect that Kevin would choose such a simple girl.

Nicole’s eyes were pure and thorough, and she was a girl who could be seen through at a glance like a white paper, so she liked it very much.

Carole took out another gift from her hand and said, “Don’t say that I’m humble. Come on, Farah, be careful. This is an engagement gift for you.”

“Thank you, mother.” Farah was in a good mood, and her voice was sweet as if it was going to come out of the water.

Mr. and Mrs. Garcia and Stephanie also sent their gifts. For a moment, the scene was full of happiness.

Nicole silently lowered her head to have breakfast. Today’s yogurt was very delicious. She wanted to drink another glass of it, but Kevin stopped her.

“It’s early in the morning. Why did you drink so much ice?”

A glass of milk was pushed in front of her, and at the same time, it was accompanied by everyone’s attention.

Nicole lowered her awkwardly and heard Carole’s clear voice. “Nicole, Kevin is right. Don’t focus on drinking yogurt. It’s not good for girls to drink ice in the morning. Be obedient and drink the milk.”

Kevin’s mother was so gentle. Born in a noble family, she could hardly hide her outstanding temperament. The most important thing was that she was still so considerate.

Nicole even dreamed of having such a mother in her dreams. Looking at Carole and listening to her instructions, she couldn’t help but burst into tears. She hurriedly took a milk cup to cover her gaffe and drank milk.

Of course, she didn’t finish all of it and took a few sips.

However, when she put it down, she didn’t notice that her mouth was stained with milk. Kevin frowned, took a tissue, and wiped it on her mouth. This action shocked everyone.

Even Carole didn’t expect his son to be so considerate, while Stephanie’s eyes on Nicole were full of viciousness.

Seeing that, Farah leaned against James’s shoulder and couldn’t help pouting.

“Brother, are you deliberately showing off your love?” Farah’s words were full of ridicule.

Although she did not have a good impression of Nicole, and she also thought that Nicole was not worthy of her brother and was not worthy of being her sister-in-law, Kevin chose this one himself.

When Kevin promised her that she would get engaged to James, he told her that he could admit James’s identity, but Farah also had to identify Nicole.

Her brother had always been uncompromising and there was no gap between them. As long as Nicole kept a low profile and no longer had anything to do with James, she would not have anything to don with him.

After all, there was no one who could make her feel at ease and make James feel at ease even if she was more important than her sister-in-law.

The breakfast was finally over.

James and Farah went back to school.

After their guest had left, Kevin and Nicole talked to their Mom. They went upstairs and went to the study room.

They saw their Mom sitting at the single sofa while reading a newspaper. She smiled at them, “Come in.”

Nicole and Kevin sat down on the large sofa in front of their mother. Nicole was feeling nervous, and thinking about what Carole may say to them.

“You don’t have to be nervous.” Her voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear her clearly.

She raised her head and looked at Kevin who sat opposite her and was also looking at Nicole.

“Nicole, I know you love my son very well. From the very first time that we met way back, I already knew that you love him so much. This information about Kevin is very secret. I knew that you already knew about his suffering every month. It was a ‘Love Curse’. Love curses hit the heart chakra, block it by placing an energy parasite, or alter the energies in a way that the victim becomes spiritually blind or emits horrible energies disgusting the people around him. Every time the curse attacks him, he needs someone to interpret the energies coming to him in the wrong way. He suffers a lot if he will not obey what his body needs. He can’t breathe; his heart is aching and almost dying.”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Nicole almost fell down from what she heard. “But how did he get that curse? And who cursed him?”

Carole stood up and faced the window, “The day when he left you, he came back home with me. Unfortunately, the private plane crashed into the virgin island. We thought that was our ending, but some members of the tribe living there adopted us. As the days go by, the daughter of the leader of the tribe confesses her love for Kevin. That night was the worst night that we had on that island.”

As she remembered that night, her heart was still in pain as if it was pricked by a bee’s tail needle. But she quickly moved her eyes away and looked at the beautiful garden outside the window.

“That night was a horrible night for us! We thought that we were saved and safe, but we’re not. Kevin didn’t accept her love proposal and of course, I also did not agree to it. The daughter got mad and changed their mind, they wanted us to die. The members of the tribe fight with us. Kevin fights them and sooner the army finds us and saves us. Most of them get injured and die. The tribe went down with fire.

But before we left that place, we passed the daughter lying on the ground with blood in her body. She looked at us with sharp eyes and was full of anger. She shouts out loud and starts spell casting in a powerful way.

“I’m Princess Rada, cursing you Jake from now on, you will search for the love and desire that will kill you! Beautiful Goddess, Powerful Goddess, hear my prayer! Lords of fire, burn my desire!”

After she said that, she was unconscious and we left on that Island. But while we were in the helicopter that saved us, Kevin felt a great pain in his head, and his memories eventually erased. I was so afraid and didn’t know what to do. That is also the reason why Kevin didn’t use the name ‘Jake’ again, because of that curse.” Carole wiped her tears that fell on her cheek.

“Suddenly, Kevin lost his memories. I look for the best doctor, but they can’t cure him. The test shows that his brain was okay and normal. And after a month, we didn’t expect the curse to affect his whole human being. He felt his body heat and searched for lust. All the women he slept with died the next day.”

Nicole was stunned. All the women died?

When she thought about it, it was a miracle that she was alive!

She swallowed her saliva and asked nervously, “But why am I still alive?”

Carole looked at her and walked up to her. She held her both hands and said, “I think you are the cure of that curse. True love saves the both of you!”

Nicole couldn’t believe this and she was confused. “Me?”

“We try so many antidotes and medicine to cure his pain. But we never succeed. To hate is a curse and the opposite of curse is cure, and that is you… You never curse someone you truly love. Love is what makes the world go round; most of us wouldn’t be here without it. I believe eventually, because of the love in your heart the curse will let go of Kevin.”

Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Kevin. “I will do my best and help him to get rid of that curse. If my love is the only way and the cure for him, I will sacrifice myself for him.”

Yes, she is already doing that. Every time Kevin attacks the night of the curse, she obediently offers her body to him. Even though there were injuries all over her body, her body got so weak and almost fainted. She was willing to accept any punishment.

Carole worried, erased and smiled, “Thank you for your kindness and good heart.”

Carole embraced Nicole tightly and burst into tears.

Kevin glanced at her calmly and said, “It’s good that you accepted me and love me. If I don’t find you, I will die in a curse now.”

Nicole made a face at him. “You’re a villain. Don’t worry. What you’re worried about won’t happen.”

And Kevin hugged her tightly and kissed her gently.

After they talked they came back to the school and Kevin went to his office.
