Valentina laid motionless on the bed. Emma slept peacefully in her cot, beside them. Andrew began stripping her clothes, and started doing it.
Valentina didn't move, nor did she moan by the pain. She stared at her little angel, as tears fall from her eyes.

"What?... What the f*ck...are you doing?..." Liam had just arrived from work, and stepped into their bedroom, witnessing the affair.
He stood by the door, unable to move his body. He averted his eyes, he couldn't bare to see this.
Why?... I knew I shouldn't have trusted you Andrew... you tried to get close to her from the beginning... But Valentina... Don't tell me...you....
No... you could never do that... But why?! Why did you allow him in?!! Why are you letting him do this to you?!!
F*ck!
Liam walked over to the bed and threw Andrew off Valentina.
"You motherf*cker!!! What the f!ck are doing?! THIS IS MY HOUSE!! GET THE F*CK OUT!!" Liam screamed his lungs out at Andrew, who was on the floor, smiling... Then he began laughing at him, feeling so great!
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
Valentina rose up, slowly, and looked at what was happening.
Liam grabbed Andrew by his collar, and punch him, multiple times in the face. "GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!!"
"Haha...Sorry bitch!" Andrew said proudly.
Emma began crying by the noise and Valentina quickly picked her out of the cot. In the same moment, Andrew revealed his gun, infront of Liam, and pointed it to Liam's head.
"You think I'll be scared of death..." Liam widened his eyes, and looked at him intensely as he said this.
"Oh! Of course you ain't!" He pointed the gun and fired immediately.
BANG!
Silence....
Liam, looked back and saw Valentina, raising her hand...covered in blood. She instantly began screaming. Liam looked back at the mad killer. His eyes were outraged but to Andrew they were full of fear.
"Heh..see? You are scared of death!" Andrew started laughing manically. Liam dragged him up, from the floor, and threw the gun from his hand as he forcefully guided him to the dinning room. Liam struggled while pushing him to the balcony, which caused him the leaned over the railing.
"LIAM!! What are you doing?!" Valentina ran into the room, screaming. She was half dressed, her long shirt manged to cover her below, but not much from her chest.
"SHUT THE F*CK UP!! DON'T YOU F*CKING DARE TALK TO ME!!" Liam responded with a loud yell, but before he could proceed to deal with this psycho. He paused.
"Are you going to kill him?...." Valentina quietly says with a exclaimed expression.
Liam looked over his shoulder, he was shocked when he saw her smiling. It was like the life was completely sucked out of her and all that was left was a wicked smile.
"Can I do it? Pleeease..." Valentina hopped on her tippy toes, like a little child would.
Liam ignored her request, and strangled Andrew, almost to the point, he couldn't breathe. Then... he threw him down,watched how each bone in his body cracked as he hit several objects before hitting the ground.
Liam looked down with his cold eyes. He heard a loud thump and turned around to see Valentina, laying unconscious on the floor.
What the f*ck do you think you're doing?...
Liam headed over to her body, lifted her arm up. "Hey! Wake up, you bitch! Get the f*ck up!" He yelled. Then, Valentina slowly opened her eyes. He slapped her across the face, she instantly awoke.
"Liam! What are you doing?!" Valentina yelled.
Liam ignored her, and dragged her to the balcony. Maybe, to end her the same way he killed him...
"Wait! Liam! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Please! Stop! Let go!" Valentina continued to cry for help, however, Liam ignored her pleading calls.
He threw her outside, the balcony, closed the doors and locked her out. Valentina, with her tears streaming down her face, began pounding on the glass window door.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to kill her!! I wasn't myself! Liam! Please! Hear me out!! LIAM!"
Her voice intensifies as she saw Liam walking away into the kitchen. He grabbed a knife... He had no expression on his face. He waved it infront of her.
He drew it toward his neck.
Sliiit
He slit his neck and immediately Valentina fell unconscious.

Valentina woke up...it was cold and dark outside. Wait... what am I doing out here?...
She looked through the window, she saw Liam's dead body laying on the floor, surrounded by crimson roses. Valentina gasped, she covered her mouth, but then removed her hand from her face. She looked down. There was blood on her hands.
She looked at her reflection, blood was pouring down her face, from her forehead. There was a big wound across the side of her forehead down to her chin, across her eye.
Valentina tried to cry as hard as she could, but she only brought pain to herself.
This is all my fault... Emma...Liam.... your blood is stained on my hands...
Liam... I'm sorry.... Don't leave me...
I love you...
Please...wake up tomorrow morning... Forget...everything...and fall...asleep...

Liam! Liam! Liam!
What happens when you die?...
I don't know. Tell me.
First open your eyes... and I'll show you...
.
.
.
.
I did as instructed. I was in a bright, pure place. Heaven, maybe?...
Right infront of me was a small boy, he wore a beautiful silky, white dress. He had blonde hair, and pure fair skin.
"Who are you?"
"Do you know why this is happening to you?"
"No... I'm searching for the answer myself." I answer bluntly.
"This is happening, because of your wife... in fact, it has nothing to do with you. It's between her, and God."
"What do you mean?..."
"She asked for a wish... And I'm here to make sure it gets granted... If not...then you must die."
"Why? Are you the angel of death or something?..."
There was a short pause. He looked very serious. I didn't think that I was right!
"I'm here because I made a silly mistake... you were all supposed to die that night... However, your wife...Valentina... made me feel sympathetic for her... The first time in my existence, did I ever felt that way... so I spared her. However, that was against God's wishes... and so... I'm the curse that you carry at night."
"So the devil...is really an angel?.." I said surprisingly.
"Well... The Angel was never really an angel to begin with..."
"But you're just a kid, right?"
"Incorrect. I'm just in a different form."
"Then... what do you want with me?.. You said I had nothing to do with this shit, then why am I involved?"
"That's exactly why I called you here... I granted Valentina her wish... I must grant yours... or else you will end up dead on the seventh day..."
"What?! Wait! What wish did you grant?"
"Valentina wished to paint... She had seven canvases left... She wanted to paint all of them... before she dies. However, if she fails to complete her canvases after seven days... The night when the curse will arrive... will be her last night..."
"Oh shit!..." I was distressed, what was I supposed to do?
"Request me your last wish... I'll grant it."
"Can we please not die after these seven days?"
"Is that what you wish for?..."
"Yes.."
"That's it...nothing else..."
"I thought it could be only one wish...?"
"Anything you desire..."
"Then... There is one thing..."
