The Devil Incarnate

Inside the hospital room, Charlotte lay with her eyes closed. Anthony walked slowly towards her and sat on the chair beside her bed, and held her by the hands.

His eyes were watering, and he wiped the tears using the back of his hands and softly called out to Charlotte.

"My love, I know you want to bear this burden alone, but I want to let you know that I'll be with you. I'll always love you, Charlotte," he softly said.

From the door where he stood, Bill felt his heart melt with compassion and love towards the couple. It had been a while since he experienced such raw and intense love. He hadn't believed in romantic fairies, having witnessed first-hand how Amelia's departure had wrecked William's life more.

  He turned to walk away and found Ava standing behind him. She was coldly glaring at him with eyes full of hatred, and her breathing was loud.
