My Cursed Sadistic Alpha: Sebastian's Curse

Give Up

Celine

I waited for the phone to ring for a solid twenty minutes until it finally rang, breaking the burdening silence of the room.

I quickly received the call, hoping to hear the news I have been waiting for, "Hello. Has he left yet?"

"It took a bit of work, but yeah, he left." The response from the other side made me finally release the breath I did not know I had been holding on to for so long.

Finally....

It was a relief that the plan was finally working and he was coming out of his cold facade. Although it was still not sure if this change of one night was going to be permanent. Sebastian was absolutely capable of holding himself together till the last bit, nothing could be comparable to how strong he was when it came to pushing away everything he has, to hold onto something he doesn't want to let go.

If there was anything he truly treasured from the bottom of his heart, that was his curse and now, perhaps, it was Athena who undoubtedly held more importance to him.

"He's coming to the mansion?" I inquired, wanting to be certain about the matter.

"Yes, I saw his car heading that way. Don't worry, he'd surely get to the mansion, there's no other place he could find peace except for being near to his mate," He snickered at the last part, "Now, for this additional task, you remember your promise, don't you?"

I rolled my eyes, huffing out a breath, "Yes, I do. I'll. get the money deposited to your account tomorrow."

"Don't let it slip out of your mind, Sweetheart," He laughed, "Cause, then it won't turn out so nice for you and your family's sweet mission."

"You don't need to worry about that, I know how utterly greedy you are and if I don't deposit the money, you won't hesitate twice before telling Sebastian the truth," I scoffed, "I am aware of your nature so you don't need to remind me about it."

"Good, I am happy that I have managed to leave my mark on your precious recollection. And yes, the amount should be no less than a million. Not even a penny less or else, that one penny would be the cost for a big hint being given to Sebastian about you and your oh-so revenge plan. And then everything will be put to an end and I am certain that you don't want that." With that, he hung up the call.

Fucking bastard.

If his help was not so crucial for me to execute this entire plan, I'd stabbed this piece of shit to death long ago.

What could I even expect? He was a fucking traitor and expecting morals from a man who totally lost them long ago, was simply absurd on my behalf.

However, he was not my concern. My main concern was that cursed monster. If he doesn't get out of his cage, it'd be impossible to get anything we want. Our revenge would remain unfulfilled and I couldn't let that happen at any cost.

Tonight could either change him properly or only get us a bit closer to our agenda. Even if he does not let go of his curse, at the very least, we'd be able to know that the vulnerable side of him was not so securely guarded anymore, the cracks he'd sealed for so long would now allow us to get rid of him and his pathetic mate as well because his fresh wounds have become exposed once again.

Just one more step and this will be it.

We were just one step away......

Athena

Sniffling I wiped my tears, trying hard to not break down more than he has already broken me. I was going through thousands of emotions at a time. My restlessness knew no bounds; The weaknesses I kept locked in a dark corner, were now fighting to break through the walls and attack me like a cyclone

I knew he was insensitive, void of any emotions, in short, a living dead. But still...I was his mate, couldn't he at least see how much I need him? How hard I was trying to make this work for us?

After how has treated me, I shouldn't even look back at him. Still, I was trying my best to heal him. I was silently bearing what he was putting me through, I was trying to make this work for us.

How could he not see my efforts? How could he not see my love for him?

All that amounted to something to him was his curse that was ruining both of our lives. Why wasn't he willing to understand it?

If I could hate him from my core, I surely would have. But I just can't hate him. Every time I see him, I lose myself in him. He was my mate for god's sake, I was drawn to him by the rules of nature but my own growing feelings for him were what put me in this condition, trapped and helpless.

I had no escape. Not myself, not from him.

Death? That wasn't even an option because he wouldn't even let me die. He made it hell as he'd promised and the heaven I dreamed of, burned to ashes in its flames.

All I wanted for him was to just once look through the walls he put around himself, see how much more this world has to offer and what life we were missing out on just because of his demons that overpowered him from every aspect.

If not for this curse, we both might have gotten a chance to live a life where the pain is not a permanent burden.

Perhaps, instead of pushing me away, Sebastian would have pulled me closer. Instead of using my body like an object for his pleasure, he'd made love to me. He'd shower me with his lightest caresses, not with those painful bruises and scars that were now a memory I had to endure for the rest of my life.

Perhaps, Instead of hating me, he'd truly love me.

But none of these was going to come true because Sebastian was not willing to let go of his curse. For him, it was his curse that mattered, not the beautiful life we both can have if he lets go of that one curse that was responsible for all of our miseries and difficulties that were were forced to face constantly.

He did not want to feel alive. He preferred living like a dead individual and no matter how much I try to make him alive once again, he was going to push me away till his last breath because, maybe, our fates can never be intertwined in the way I hoped for to be.

When Julia first told me about Sebastian, I was determined to keep trying to bring him back till my last breath, do anything to get him back, heal his wounds and love him so much that he forgets his pain. Never in my dreams, I'd thought that I'd give up, but today, I felt like giving up was the only path left.

There was no sign of hope. Just one hope that could keep me going in this battle.

It seemed like, I was drowning in an ocean of hopelessness, desperately pushing to the limit only to find one mere sign of hope but every time I reached up to the surface, I was only met with the same darkness where there were no rays of light.

Sebastian has snatched all my hopes. I had no strength left to keep fighting.

I should just give—

Before the completion of my thoughts, the door opened. Surprisingly not with a slam.

My gaze moved to look at the doorway, and I saw Sebastian walking inside the room. The smell of strong liquor permeated throughout the room soon after that.

He was drunk, and it was yet to be perceived if that was bad news or a good one.
