"Stop, please stop." Amelia weak voice called out as she was sprawled up on the ground with her husband Marcus kicking her repeatedly, while his mistress Mia kept grinning at the misery Amelia is facing.

Mia wounded herself and blamed it on Amelia knowing Marcus would believe whatever she, Mia said and not Amelia.

"Honey, please stop or you are going to kill her." Mia called out faking a worried voice.

"I don't mind if she died, this bitch here has been nothing but a nuisance in our lives, see she just hurt you what about if something had happened to our baby." Marcus yelled fuming in rage and a bit of selfish interest in mind, if Amelia happened to die, all her wealth and property goes to him alone, at that thought Marcus eyes glinted the more.

Amelia eyes widened at the later part of the sentence 'baby, huh.'

Amelia thought then looked down on her own flat tummy, and realized a cold smile, she too is with a baby.

"Master, the madam is bleeding." A servant cried out worriedly, the servants had no power in the house hold and could only stand aside and watch how their master treated the madam.

Despite picking him up from the street and entrusting her wealth to him the only thing the master used to pay their madam back was a cheating life and beatings at any slightest provocation.

Even the mansion they lived in belonged to the madam, they lived in the richest part of town called the Peace Filled villa, it was a very high standard place with it's décor were made by top notch designers, as the chandelier dazzled the sitting room and the carefully carved settees that were arranged in there, the whole room alone had about 12 world precious paintings bought for decoration purpose alone, the servants themselves were trained by the madam and employed by her, She was excellent at everything in life except for the mistake falling in love with the wrong person.

"Bleeding?? When she is done with her pretense she would get back on her feet." Marcus said irritated at the sight of his wife, if not for her money he wouldn't have bothered marrying her in the first place.

"Marcus, don't do this, she still your wife after all, you don't have to treat her this way for your mistress." Mia who bowed as she tried to hold her tears from dropping uttered.

"Don't talk like that, you know it's you I love and no one else." Marcus cooed and brought Mia into his arms lovingly.

Amelia felt disgusted at the fact she fell in love with such a scumbag, they were even bold enough in displaying their love and affection for each other in her presence, such shamelessness.

"OMG, Marcus she is really bleeding, it's best if we call an ambulance." Mia exclaimed like she was really concerned about Amelia's well being.

Before Marcus gave the order, a servant had already rushed out to call an ambulance.

Amelia felt her consciousness fading away slowly as she was carried onto a stretcher, Amelia she could have sworn that she saw a victorious smile on Mia's face.

Then it dawned on Amelia, Mia already knew that she was pregnant and that was why Mia she staged the whole drama today, knowing that Marcus wouldn't let her off and Amelia might lose the pregnancy at the wrath of his anger.

At that moment, Amelia swore in her heart that if she managed to survive this incident, she wouldn't let them off no matter the circumstances.

The sirens sounded, Amelia could see the after-image of the red and blue light as they flashed repeatedly, she could hear what was going on but it was foggy, the doctor yelling at the nurses to get the operation room ready, the wheels of the stretcher against the hospital tiles, the fake cries of concern from Mia that orchestrated the whole thing.

Amelia tried opening her eyes but saw a blinding light above her, guess she was in the operation room, her eyes felt heavy soon after and she closed them again but she could hear everything very clearly, and the last word she heard that stuck making her zone out was, "The patient already lost the baby, but we would try our possible best to save her". The doctor voice rang out.

Her baby as gone, tears slipped from the corner of Amelia eyes, her baby is gone, Amelia remembered all the plans that she had for the baby, the name planned to give to it and all of the love she planned to shower on it but now her baby was gone because of the one person she claimed to love and the person she blindly called her best friend.

Feeling life leaving her slowly, Amelia cursed in her heart.

"James Marcus, Wilson Mia, I curse you with my spirit, I will hunt you down and pay you back for all the trouble you have given me in this life, as you took my child and my wealth I would take everything away from you including your peace." Amelia cursed before breathing her last.

Amelia eyes opened to an eerie darkness surrounding her, "where am I?" Amelia wondered unable to make anything out of the darkness.

"Did you not lay a curse on someone, well this is your ticket to make it happen." A skin crawling voice resounded throughout the darkness, Amelia felt goose bumps on her skin hearing the voice.

"Who are you? and what do you want in return if you help me?" Amelia said ignoring the feeling gnarling at her that this situation was dangerous.

A low chuckle escaped throughout the darkness, "I mean no harm actually, I just want to make a deal with you." The voice sounded playfully like it was telling a funny joke.

"What deal?" Amelia interest was piqued up, wondering what he man wanted from her, Amelia already guessed that it was a man speaking due to his voice.

"it's a simple deal actually." The voice sounded again, "What is it, go straight to the point please." Amelia said impatiently.

"What is the rush all about, you are dead already." The voice chuckled like hearing a joke.

Amelia stumbled backward for bit, she was dead then what is this guy doing here, was he dead too?

"Of course I am not dead, now away from all this distractions, let's get back to our deal." The voice said sounding serious, Amelia did not even get the chance to breath when the voice sounded again.

"I would give you back your life, but on one condition." The voice said pausing, Amelia suddenly felt a crawling sensation on her skin, "You be my bride." A voice whispered into Amelia ears.

"Who are you?" Amelia whispered being suffocated by the oppressive feeling from the fellow behind her.

"Who else can bring you back to life to get revenge? I am what you humans call the devil." He spoke directly onto her neck sending a shuddering feeling into Amelia spine.
