When I was twenty-one years old, I found a book in which it was written: If you want to be rich, tie your fate to the devil.
At first, I thought it was just a joke, but then I decided to check it out.
I took the book and went to the forest, where I lit a fire and threw the book into it.
Then I waited until it burned completely.
Suddenly, a strong wind arose and extinguished the fire.
Out of nowhere appeared a man in a black suit with a hat on his head.
He looked like the devil himself.
Are you sure you did the right thing?
he asked me.
Yes, I am sure, I replied.
Then he smiled and said: Very well, you will be rich.
But when you turn twenty-four years old, I will come for your soul.
After he said that, he disappeared into thin air.
I didn't know what to think; was it all just a dream?
But then I went back home and found a chest full of gold coins in my room.
From that day on, everything went well for me.
I got a good job, made new friends and even fell in love with a wonderful woman.
I pace around my bedroom, staring at the chest that changed everything.
The gold coins inside mock me with their gleam.
I can't bear to look at them anymore, but I can't ignore them either.
Moving to my closet, I pull out an old duffel bag and start transferring the coins into it, one handful at a time.
My hands tremble with each clinking sound they make.
The metal feels cold against my skin, as if it's judging me for what I've done.
As I work, I catch a glimpse of Lila walking down the street outside my window.
She looks up and waves, and I quickly draw the curtains shut.
I can't risk anyone seeing this.
When the bag is full, I zip it up and grab my car keys.
I drive to the abandoned warehouse district on the outskirts of town, the bag weighing heavily in the trunk.
Behind the old textile factory, I find a spot beneath a crooked tree that will serve as my marker.
As I start digging, Lila's voice cuts through the silence.
"Are you really going to bury your future like this?" she asks, stepping out from behind the tree.
I freeze, shovel in hand, and reply, "Lila, you don't understand—it's not just about the gold."
Under the flickering lights of the warehouse, I shovel dirt into the hole as fast as I can.
Lila stands behind me, her shadow stretching across the concrete floor.
My hands shake as I grip the duffel bag full of cursed coins.
She takes a step closer, and I can feel her eyes on me.
"What is that?"
I turn to face her, sweat dripping down my neck.
The metallic gleam of gold catches her eye.
"I stole it," I blurt out, the lie burning my throat.
"From a private collector."
Her eyes widen in shock.
I grab her shoulders, my voice dropping to a desperate whisper.
"You can't tell anyone. Promise me."
