5 Chapter One: My cursed existence

" I've lived all my life full of hatred and evil.

What more was expected, I'm a demon. Demons are evil, but I'm extraordinary evil. My evil and pride has led me somewhere unbearable to even glance at. All my life, I've been cursed, my existence is cursed, my fate is cursed. Nothing good out of it.

I am darkness, no light can be found in me

My heart is blind, I have no soul

My presence isn't noticed, only when evil deeds takes place, my name would be the talk of everybody's mouth.

They say I'm a stain, a stain that can never be removed.

A black dot on a white surface

I'm full of scorn, oh yes, I deserve all of that.

I do evil…." Unable to keep reading the book, Lucinda shut the book closed. She closed her eyes as her hands were on her chest. The emotion that evoke her while reading this book was really unexpected. Opening her eyes, her eyes were set on the book, the golden written title got her drawn. 'My cursed Existence' the title was possessive, but no author's name was written on it. She turned the book front and back, but no name was on it. She flipped some pages, but nothing was seen.

He said he was a demon. A demon with darkness. A demon with nothing good but bad. A demon beyond redemption!! Even if he hated his existence, why would he call himself a demon? Did he hate himself that much? How does it feel living a cursed life? Lucinda felt pity for him. She wished she could hug him and tell him that they would go through this life battle together.

What's more, she was also living a life of hell in this palace. Everyone hated her except from her little brother, Raymond, and her only maid. Her life was also cursed, but she never did evil. Even if this man did evil, his evil would be of reasonable good. He was hated. Very hated!

She looked at the book once more, she wanted to open it and continue reading it, but she thought otherwise. It will only make her emotionally bothered. She wanted to think freely and not reflect on someone's life. As she was about to stand up from her bed, her sister barged in.

Yes, she came to shout on her. That's the only thing she was good at. Yell at someone and speak venomous words. Good manner of approach wasn't in her Agenda! Such a shame, she was her twin sister.

Walking majestically into her room, dressed in purple linen royal gown with her crown sparkling on her red hair, she halted when she thought she was already too closed to her cursed sister.

"Are you with any of my books?" Her cruel voice sounded like the beat of drums in Lucinda's ear.

"Is this yours?" Avoiding trouble, she showed her the black book that was with her. Immediately sighting the book, she spooked her head with disgust.

"That book is inflicted with bad luck. The book is rejected by people and has been banned from the kingdom. Where did you get it?" She asked, and Lucinda was shocked. Reading this book, you'd be inflicted with bad luck? Why were this people cruel? He only wrote about his life and investigating deeper, he was tracking down help, but why were they this cruel? Why would they barn the book? What was wrong with his story?

"I saw it in the abandoned shelf in the library" She said truthfully and Luciana gaped.

"In this palace?" With her reaction, Lucinda could see how disgusted she was with her and the book.

"You have been inflicted with bad luck since it found its way to you. I wonder why father still allows you in this place. After killing our mom, you ought to be banished from this land" She spatted as she sent a razor gaze to Lucinda. The girl went face down.

"You don't have to say such….beside, Demons don't exist. Who knows if his story is true" Defending the man, and ignoring what her sister just said about her made Luciana stunned.

"Demons exists and secondly, the few people who read this book died a day after reading this book. He is taking people's life, and I'm sure you won't see tomorrow" Luciana smirked. Attending her sister's funeral would be the greatest joy of her life.

"They don't" Lucinda mumbled as she hugged the book tightly.

"Thinking about it, I saw you married to a demon in my dream. Someone like him" Luciana said truthfully. Having the ability to foresee the future, she saw her sister with a demon. Luciana, being a lover of both demons and Vampires stories, has always prayed to end up with one of them but according to her dream, she was married to a human guy while her sister had want she wanted. Although, she didn't know if the man was evil, but her sister swashed her dream from her. Beauty, she got it. Demon, she would have it. Voice, her sister possessed it. It made her envy her and gave her more reasons to hate her.

Even when mother was alive, she preferred Lucinda to her and unfortunately, her lovely daughter was she reason of her death. This twin of hers was a bad omen.
