His Dark Obsession by Moonlight Muse

78. Working Together

EVANGELINE.

“Take care…” I say softly, clutching the phone tightly in my hand.

“You too. Make sure you get some rest and don’t spend all night looking over the books.” Zedkiel’s voice

comes.

I feel my stomach twist knowing I am about to disobey him and not only that, but I am going to go back to that chamber.

“I won’t… I love you. Take care of yourself.” I mumble.

“From what you said and the king’s explanation, I don’t think there is anything more… but this means that Raziel cursed one of his two children… Evelyn, to be precise.” Kash says, looking up.

I nod. It’s as we figured. “So, he’s the reason…” Lucia murmurs.

Isa says, suddenly standing up. “The scriptures say, The Eternal G*d cursed the twins to a life of doom. What if there are two curses here and the reason it’s never been broken is
