14. I will kill them all

Melvin Armstrong was a man many looked up to. Managed several business and had become a global success. He is known as the Einstein of business and many failing companies have been saved by his expertise.

The only problem was that he was still just a mere man. Flesh and blood that would be day be buried in the ground and rot until all that remained were fragile bones.

Even if he was intelligent and studied all his life... He we still a mere man who couldn't save his wife who was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago and didn't have much time left.

He tried every single doctor he could afford but none could save her. All they did was slow down her death but Melvin could never run away for the inevitable. Her death just seemed closer the more he tried.

But now he wished more than anything that the death that had seemed so inevitable for his love would just take him. One decision he did out of love had left him alone and filled with regret.

He should have never gambled with life. He did not have the power and so he should have not searched for it. Because what he found left him cursed and broken.

He took a deep breath before opening the door to the bathroom but ended up in a throne room much like the one you would see in old medieval movies. Not a touch of modernization in it. He raised his head and there she was. The wicked queen of this castle giving him her usual wicked grin. Nothing close to the gentle smile she had given him the first time he met her.

Flashback

Melvin had heard of a woman who could help him save his wife. He did not really believe in the supernatural but was willing to try anything to save his love. He was given an incantation to chant before opening any door that will lead him to his desired destination.

What he saw on the other side he could have never imagined but the woman who sat on the throne literally took his breath away. She was exceptionally beautiful and long blonde hair and a kind smile that drew me in no matter how much I fought it.

"Hello Melvin. Welcome to my castle. I have been expecting you" she said with the most sweet alluring voice.

"Why? How do you know me?"

"That isn't important my child" she stood and walked up to then who was now on his knees in shock. She gently caressed his cheek, "You are here to save your wife. But you should know everything comes at a price when dealing with magic"

"I will pay you any amount you want"
"Money holds no value to me"
"I will give you anything you want"
"Now you're talking. There is something specific I want and as soon as you pay up you wife will live a long life" that was the last time he saw her sweet smile and it morphed into an evil smirk.

Flashback end

If he had known she meant to take his soul and make him her slave he would have thought twice before signing the contract.

His wife was healed and lived a long beautiful life...without him. As soon as she was well she left him for another man. She died happily in old age with her new love while he was all alone for 300 years now and a slave to a wicked witch.

"What brings you to my humble abode" she said with her sweet sickening voice. Melvin looked down with a bow because looking in her eyes always filled him with fear and unease.

"Baekkie has appeared again"

"Oh really. It had been a while since I turned into my favourite drama. Prince Chanyeol must be thrilled. Too bad I will have to burst his bubble of happiness" she said with a laugh. She loved feeding off of people's bitterness. In all the years I have been with her prince Chanyeol suffered the most from her hands.

"Mistress...there is a problem?" Laughter stopped and replaced with a glare the man could feel burning on his skull.

"You know I don't like problems slave. This is why I have you to solve them"
"I know mistress but this is beyond my power and money. Something is different now. Baekkie was born with a twin brother this time"

"That's impossible but even so it doesn't matter. My curse still stands and cannot be broken by another which"

"The thing is...the prince is no longer in love with Baekkie...but her brother" the slap and burn on his face was expected, "Find the witch that did this and kill them. Bring this brother to me. I want to kill him myself because no one will ruin my plans and break my curse. Prince Chanyeol will suffer forever and if he thinks he can escape me then I will kill his love forever"

°°°°°°°°°°

How can Chanyeol save the Baek twins? Will he ever find true happiness? Will the evil witch win again?
