"My first wish is for my dead lover to come back to me". Eunice spoke with a shaky voice and watery eyes.
Mammon turned around to sit on a chair, looking at Eunice with a smile. "I'm sorry Madam, but that won't be possible" he said.
Eunice's anger flared up, "What do you mean? You said you could bring back the dead".
Mammon gave a small sigh, "Yes, Madam, I can bring back the dead if you wish but-".
"But what? Why is there always a 'but'? You are just a fraud". Eunice interrupted with anger as tears dropped from her eyes.
Mammon stood up and gave a cynical smile. "Your dear lover is alive and well, so I cannot grant that wish".
Eunice looked at him in confusion."What do you mean? My dear Gabby died from cancer 14 years ago, " She said.
Immediately, Mammon burst into laughter, "Died from cancer? You know nothing about the world you live in". He responded with amusement written all over his face.
Eunice was now thoroughly confused. "I know nothing about the world I live in?" She asked, her fury building. "Fine then, I wish for knowledge, I want to know what I do not know, I want to know where my Gabby is, why you are here, And who sent a devil like you to me, I want to know everything there is to know. That is my wish" She said, Staring at Mammon.
Mammon burst into laughter again "Is that what you want? Your wish is my command". He said as if he had been waiting to make a wish like that.
Immediately, Eunice stood frozen in front of Mammon, feeling a great wave moving through her body. She couldn't quite understand what was happening to her, but her trembling hands and shaking body spoke volumes.
Mammon watched closely as he smiled at her.
"What? What is this?" Eunice muttered, her hands covering her mouth as she knelt down.
"You have seen all there is to see in this world, the world's hidden secrets of its past and present". Mammon said, still smiling.
"Nevaeh, Gabby? Elizabeth?" Eunice was lost in thought as she called out those names.
"Love seems like the most painful thing to you humans, Yet you all search for the perfect ones. Eventually, this perfect person will leave and you will get hurt in ways medicines can't heal". Mammon said as he looked at her.
He continued."What hurts the most? Losing the ones you love by death? Or losing them by betrayal? Losing someone you love by death is a natural part of life, but betrayal will surely leave a profound emotional scar, So why do you humans even try?" He added with a soft and gentle voice.
"Make your next wish". Mammon said as he let out a deep sigh and began to walk towards Eunice who was lost in confusion.

Thud!,
The sound of a door opening was followed by the hurried footsteps of Aurora running out of her room, calling out for her mother.
"Mummy!"
She exclaimed, her voice carrying a note of urgency.
A young woman named Beatrix, who appeared to be Aurora's caregiver, rushed after her, calling out for her to stop.
"Come Back here Aurora!" She shouted, trying to catch up with Aurora.
But Aurora was too quick for her, she continued to run down the hallway calling out for her mother once more.
"Where is she?" Aurora muttered to herself, searching for Eunice in a state of panic. She could sense that something was wrong and Eunice was in danger.
. "Stop there, do you want to get me fired?" Beatrix yelled as she tried to catch up with Aurora. But Aurora was too consumed by fear and worry to pay attention to her.
As she ran, she felt a large hand grip her shoulder, she turned around in shock to see who it was.
"Where do you think you are going Aurora?".A deep booming voice asked her.
"Si- Sir Diego, I need to see my mummy". Aurora replied in a shaky voice as she tried to pull her hand away from his grip.
" Thank you, Diego," Beatrix said, trying to catch her breath.
"Do you want to get me fired?" she scolded Aurora, looking at her with a frown.
"I really need to see my mummy please". She pleaded with them, her voice trembling with emotions.
"You can't go Aurora, your mother is very busy right now". Beatrix said firmly.
"The madam has been acting strange lately". Diego said with a concerned tone.
"Maybe what she needs is her daughter". He suggested, looking at Beatrix.
"What are you saying? We could lose our job if she goes in there and makes a mess" Beatrix said. Looking worried.
"It's okay, I think the madam needs her". Diego said, finally releasing Aurora from his grip.
"Thank you, Sir Diego". Aurora replied gracefully, her voice squeaky with emotions as she ran toward her mother's huge bedroom.

"Make your second wish"
Eunice with tears in her eyes knelt down, hesitant to speak.
Mammon who was growing increasingly impatient furrowed his brow as he walked towards her.
However, before he could say anything, Aurora rushed into the room,
"Mummy!". She yelled
Immediately, Mammon took a few steps back, visibly terrified by Aurora's presence. He couldn't help but think to himself "What kind of human is this?".
Aurora's green eyes glowed with anger as she ran to her mother's side, noticing her tears. She turns over to Mammon.
Despite Mammon's handsome appearance, Aurora saw him as a huge and ugly beast with a terrible smell, as if she could see through his soul.
"Did you make my mother cry?" She asked Mammon with fury in her voice. Eunice watched in shock as she witnessed the scene unfolding before her.
"I cast you, you beast". Aurora said, with a voice of a beast that came from deep within her.
Immediately, Mammon felt something stir inside him, causing him to cry out in pain as he rolled around.
Eunice watched around in shock as the man she could never escape from was being beaten by Aurora's words
Mammon coughed up blood as he lay on the floor, fading away slowly. He glared weakly at Aurora, cursing Gabriel under his breath. "Damn you Gabby". He muttered. "You left a troublesome one here".
With those words, he faded away. Leaving Eunice and Aurora alone in the room
"Mum…" Aurora called in a sad tone.
Eunice quickly got up and rushed to her daughter's side noticing the tears rolling down her cheek. Aurora was clearly confused about what had just happened.
Eunice immediately wrapped her arm around her daughter's tears as she gave her some words of comfort.
"Mummy is here, my sweet little angel".
