The cursed fae prince;Fated to die

Zeriel is a powerful CEO, a multi-billionaire known for his cold and ruthless demeanor, a man who has everything,except a heart open to love. To the world, he’s a shrewd businessman with no tolerance for weakness or attachment, but in truth, Zeriel hides a far darker secret. He is not human, but a hybrid of two fae lineages: one dark, one light. Born with ethereal wings and supernatural powers, he’s spent his life concealing his true identity, blending seamlessly into the human world. But Zeriel’s existence is shadowed by a curse: he is destined to die at thirty, a fate decreed at birth for being an “abomination” in the eyes of his people. To escape this grim destiny, Zeriel fled the fae realm and made a life among humans, focused solely on finding a way to break the curse. Love is not only unimportant to him; he believes it is a weakness, a trap for the foolhardy. Until he meets her: a human woman whose spirit challenges and infuriates him in equal measure. He despises her fiery resilience, her ability to see through his hardened exterior—but he is helplessly drawn to her, feeling emotions that had long ago turned to dust within him. As he battles his growing feelings, Zeriel is thrust into a dilemma. If he opens his heart to love, will he weaken himself and risk his only chance at survival? Or could this forbidden love hold the key to saving his life, transforming him into something his people could never imagine? Join Zeriel on a perilous journey where dark secrets unravel, battles are waged in both realms, and one love could alter the fate of two worlds. Will he defy his curse, or will his heart betray him when he needs it most?

Saturday morning

The next morning, Alisha was still lying on the bed sleeping when Maddie who was already up walks in from the bathroom, she heads towards the bed and wakes Alisha up.

"Alisha get up, you have lots of explanation to do", she said as she tapped Alisha. She sits up and stretches her body yawning," Allow me to sleep some more" she replied in a cranky voice.

"No no it's already 9am, go freshen up", Maddie taps her again, "ouch"Alisha groans,"I'm having a terrible headache".

She groaned,"so do i", replied Maddie, "I guess it's from the hangover of yesterday's alcohol".

"Speaking of hangover" lisha grabs a pillow to hit maddie who caught her action quickly and runs out, lisha stands up and chases her to the living room after running severally. They pause, gasping for air and laughing aloud.

"You needed to see yourself yesterday, you embarrassed me" she said, covering her face with her palms. Be serious, Maddie replied, "I can't seem to remember what happened after the party".

"Of course you never remember, I'm the one who ends up dying of embarrassment"Alisha said sarcastically "ahhh Is it that bad?" The look on Alisha's face said something really bad happened. "You almost threw up on Logan's car, you know… the uh cute guy you saw talking to me yesterday". She said in a little annoyed yet sarcastic tone.

"You mean the cute friend of the guy you spilled a drink on?" Asked Maddie, covering her face in embarrassment. Alisha rolls her eyes "Oh yeah" mimicking her.

"Get out of my car you thief" ,Alisha laughed so hard that she started tearing up,"you needed to see the look on his face" she said laughing.

Maddie screams "oh no I've messed up my chances to approach him is now ruined, how do I face him?".

Alisha laughs out loud "you're still thinking of meeting him huh? you must be kidding me".

stomach rumbling , Alisha places her both hands on her stomach "I'm hungry" she said looking at maddie with cute puppy eyes, "cook us breakfast p_please…".

"All right, all right, let's have noodles" Replied maddie with a smile on her face "you always get me with those eyes of yours".

"Yaaah I'll keep you company"Alisha said excitedly.

"Wait a sec,what is the time?" "It's half past 9 I guess" maddie replied heading towards the kitchen.

"What?" Screamed Alisha, "oh my gosh I'm so dead I'm late for work, I have to go". "It's Saturday dummy," she shouted from the kitchen, rolling her eyes.

"Oh I forgot" Iisha said smiling sheepishly "You'll go shopping with me after breakfast so get ready and brace yourself".

**********

Meanwhile at Zeriel's house, Logan and zeriel were busy playing video games and discussing in the sitting room.

The grand duplex is very spacious and magnificent. Looking at the Exterior of the building from the outside,the white paint is sparkling and complementing the beauty of the house.One would mistake the house for a castle. Zeriel was born into royalty so the mansion befits him.

The grand mansion had 3 master bedrooms downstairs and 5 master bedrooms upstairs. It had two well finished luxurious sitting rooms with a dinning each upstairs and downstairs.

The sitting room are huge and spacious with 3 huge chandeliers hanging up on the pop, The interior and light of the house were perfect.the house was all white including the marble on the floor, one would call it the White House, mainly looking at the expensive furniture one would tell that they were imported oversees.The sofa in the living room are all gold plated, made with the finest soft original leather.The mansion has a rooftop and the last floor.A swimming pool at the back of the house.

Both friends sitting on the sofa holding their game pad in hand competing with each other while focusing on the video game on the tv screen Logan shouted in frustration.

"Bro c'mon leave me some leeway would you? Can't you just pretend to let me win you, at least once" Logan was already frustrated he had lost five rounds and was still counting.

"No mercy" he smirks "Speaking of which guess who I bumped into last night on my way home".

"You know I despise guessing just get straight to the point"

Scoffs "you're sooo boring well okay, I met the clumsy girl who bumped into you earlier at the party"

"Don't remind me of such an incident, I really don't wanna recall such an unpleasant thing".

"Well her friend caused quite a scene in her drunken state, she actually called me a car thief" he chuckled mirthlessly "and almost threw up on my car, can you even believe that?"

"Of course I knew she's nothing but trouble, I'd avoid her at all cost" he said seemingly not interested in talking about the troublesome lady.

"The girl and her friend are quite troublesome. You have to get ready, let go shopping" Logan told Zeriel, smiling wolfishly.

"You can't be serious, shopping again are you a lady? don't you ever get tired?" Zeriel said, the frustration could be heard in his voice.

"Well you know me I'm obsessed with limited stuff so you know how much I'll nag you if you don't tag along and I won't definitely take NO for an answer".

"Fine okay fine" Zeriel stands up to walk away but stopped on his track by what he heard.

"Before we leave why don't you prepare a meal so we could eat"

He turns to look at Logan with a questioning look, "do I in any form look like a chef to you?"

"And by the way we have one in this house, I know but I really miss your cooking. Will you please do me the honors "? He said putting his hand together in a pleading manner.

"You must be kidding right?" Zeriel questions walking away as Logan grabs him by his leg.

"Please pretty please or I won't let you go" Zeriel chuckles "stop acting like a kid and tugging my leg, okay fine fine I'll cook but just this once".he said.

Logan stands up and jumps in joy like a kid who was handed ice cream "thanks" he rushed to go get changed.

"Hmmm childish" he walks towards the kitchen and starts preparing a dish,he is done in a few minutes, the aroma fills the entire house. "Ohhhh yummy that smells so delicious though I know it would taste better than it smells" his mouth was already watering as he dashed down the stairs and headed to the dining table.

"Bro I really think you should open a restaurant that might be your calling, you're wasting such a precious talent". He was preaching to make him change his mind, but he said that for his own gain he wanted to enjoy more of his food.

"Well it seems you're no longer hungry" , he gave him a warning stare.

He immediately starts eating, he was done in a jiffy. "Your food is much appreciated now let's hit the road".

"Not so fast I have to freshen up and get changed".

He stands up and walks towards the stairs, heading to his room upstairs, "don't worry I won't take much time" he turned to look at Logan who was already with the gamepad ready to start gaming.
