He Poisoned Himself So He'd Never Touch Me
858 Views · Ongoing · Piper Hayes
Three years ago, I took a bullet for Damon Kingsley. It came within half an inch of my heart.
He looked me in the eyes, his own red, and swore he'd love me for the rest of his life. So I married into this century-old Italian-American Mafia dynasty.
But on our wedding night, the moment he touched me, he convulsed, coughed up blood, and collapsed.
The second time, an old condition flared up and kept him flat on his back for a month.
The third time, he nearly bled out.
Every time after that, the same thing.
The whole family called me a curse. Marked. Bad luck. The kind of woman who brings death to whoever gets close.
The Godmother gave me an ultimatum: get pregnant within a month, or sign the divorce papers and be shipped off to Chicago to marry the devil himself.
I was carrying a fertility tonic to his study, ready to beg him one more time, when I heard voices through the door.
"Mr. Kingsley, please, you gotta stop. Every time you don't wanna go near her, you shoot yourself up with that stuff. You're gonna kill yourself."
Damon was quiet for a long moment. Then, calm and flat: "Aurora is the only woman I love. I'd take the pain any day over touching her."
All this time, while the whole family called me a curse, the one who actually put it on me was the man I almost died for.
Damon Kingsley. After today, we're done. In this life or the next, don't ever cross my path again.
