Chapter Seven

Steve planned the perfect evening to ask Mary to marry him. He planned a beautiful romantic dinner at the Blue Colonnade Room that required men to wear a suit and tie. Women were required to wear a dress and heels. The Colonnade room is a full-service restaurant with specific dedicated meal courses. The Décor featured high-quality materials. The tablecloths were red with white lace edges. They set the table with the finest China, silver service set, and crystal glasses. The service and the ambiance were upscale. The Maître d escorted Steve and Mary to their table. He held her chair for her as she was seated. Mary slipped the napkin from the table and placed it on her lap. The evening started with a glass of wine that was paired with the food. I handed Steve and Mary a menu. Mary had never been to a fine dining restaurant before she requested Steve order for both. Steve ordered for Appetizer Prime Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio paper thin raw beef tenderloin, Dijon mustard, cornichon, fresh cracked black pepper, extra virgin olive oil, crostini & Parmigiana Reggiano. Chevre Chau over Spinach Salad warm breadcrumb crested goat cheese with fresh thyme, over spinach tossed with roasted shallot vinaigrette dried fig & toasted pine nuts. Filet of Prime Beef Tenderloin Gorgonzola dauphinois potato, French green beans, sauce Bordelaise. Lemon Gelato & Toasted Meringue. After the romantic dinner, Mary felt like she was living in a Fairy Tale. Steve took Mary on a Carriage Ride through the beautiful garden. A bench was sitting in the middle of the Rose Garden Plantation. While Mary was sitting on the bench, Steve knelt on one knee and proposed. Mary said, “Yes,” with tears of happiness flowing down her cheek. 

Jennifer was desperate for Paul to marry her. She went to see Ellen again. Jennifer was feeling hate toward Lillie. Lillie had the love of her life and she wanted him. She did not want to share him with anyone. She wanted him desperately in love with her. Ellen explained to Jennifer once they cast the spell, there was no going back. It could not be reversed. What ever happened to Lillie, she would be responsible and could not change it. 

Ellen recommended the spell to your enemy. Ellen went to her shed out back to get the supplies she needed for the spell. A pencil, piece of paper, red candle, pot of water, cinnamon sticks, cinnamon powder, vinegar, and milk. Ellen instructed Jennifer to put her hands in the pot of water and think about all the things she wanted to happen to Lillie.  Then put the seven sticks of cinnamon and cinnamon powder into the water that was infused with negative energy. Being chanting while thinking about the pain you want to cause upon the other person. Ask for Lillie to experience fear. Let the water boil. Draw a picture of the person you want to hurt. Light the candle. Hold the picture over the pot and burn it. Let the ashes fall into the pot of boiling water. Chant the words to the spell and think about the pain you want to cause the other person. Pour the milk into the boiling water once it cools down and is no longer boiling. Add the vinegar and the pot will omit a foul odor. They instructed Jennifer to take the pot of ashes and sprinkle them on the front porch of Lillie’s house and Paul would never walk through them and enter her house again. 

Steve and Mary were excited to get married and wanted to make the wedding plans as soon as possible. Priest Tillerson lived next door to Ellen. They went to see him and ask if he would perform the ceremony. When they arrived at the house, he was walking around the boundary of his property, praying. He placed a bottle of anointed oil in each corner of this property. He prayed that all evil spirits around his property would leave, and the Lord would put a hedge of protection around his property. Steve and Mary were going to have a ceremony performed by him. They were married on the beach the following weekend. 

That night, a ferocious thunderstorm filled the atmosphere with thunder, lightning, wind, and rain. Tillerson was in his study preparing for Mass the next day. He walked to the window and looked outside. Lightning popped, thunder rolled, and the wind was blowing. Suddenly he saw the lightning strike the shed behind Ellen’s house. It engulfed the shed in flame like a torch. The shed burned to the ground with all her voodoo supplies inside. Mr. Tillerson knew the Lord has answered his prayer and destroyed the supplies for evil doing. Ellen ran outside and started yelling, Lillie, you will pay for this. I know you are responsible. 

As darkness was falling upon the earth. Jennifer sits across the street from Lillie’s house, waiting for her to leave. As soon as she left, Jennifer walked on the porch and sprinkled the ashes as instructed by Ellen. She walked back to her car and returned home. Minutes later, Lillie’s house was engulfed in fire. Smoke filled the sky and her house burnt to the ground. Nothing could be recovered. 

Lillie arrived at Rose Garden Plantation to find her house had burned to the ground. She ran to the neighbors’ house in tears. Everything she worked for all her life was gone. It devastated her at what happened to her. She talked to the neighbor and was informed that Jennifer was seen spreading something over her porch minutes before it caught on fire. Lillie was devastated and reported to the police what she had discovered. She then called Paul. Paul invited Lillie to live with him until she could have a house built. The Fire Marshall investigated the burning of Lillie’s house. Jennifer was found guilty of arson and sentenced to prison.

Lillie was obsessed Jennifer would pay dearly for what she did. Jennifer continues to write and call Paul while in prison and planned to win him back when released. Jennifer had a black rose delivered to the house for Lillie. A note attached stated, “You will never get away with this. I will make you pay. You better enjoy Paul while you can. You will not have him forever. Jennifer met a voodoo doctor, Lucy, in prison. She placed a spell on Lillie. Every time she kissed Paul; he would fantasize about being with Jennifer. Jennifer would always be a throne on the side of Lillie.

Lillie met Paul at the front door. She kissed him to welcome him home. He began kissing her like never. A passionate kiss that stimulated every part of her sexual desires. After he finished kissing her. Paul looked at her with a strange look on his face. Lillie knew he was thinking about Jennifer. It filled every inch of her soul with anger. She was in prison and still after her man. The only way to get rid of Jennifer is to kill her. Having her sent away did not work.

Lillie knew her powers had to be superb in reaching Jennifer. Jennifer has found another voodoo doctor. This doctor was stronger than Ellen. Ellen was an amateur. The new voodoo doctor had experience with witches, and this was not her first battle. This time, she had met her match. Lillie had only used a minor spell on Jennifer. Now she had to use the powerful ones. She gathered a black candle, banishing oil, purple candle, green candle. The black and green candle had oil rubbed on it. She placed the purple candle beside the black candle. Lillie then carved Jennifer in the black candle with a knife. She lit the green candle first. The second candle lit was the black one for the curse. The third candle lit was the purple for sickness. She let the candles burn for ten minutes while fantasizing about Jennifer becoming deathly ill. She gently dripped water over the candles to extinguish the flame. Slowly the candles were out, and the smoke filled the air.

The aroma of a bleach and sanitizer filled the house. Lillie knew the spell was working. It was the smell of a hospital. Paul walked into the room and asked Lillie if she had been clean. The powerful smell of bleach was making his eyes burn. He began feeling weak and went to bed. She panicked. The spell was affecting Paul. She did not want to do anything to hurt Paul. Paul was the closest person to her. He was in the next room. Lillie had never cast this spell before. She looked into the book of spell. She did not realize that she had to cast a spell of protection over the house. The protection spell would protect everyone in the house.

Lillie gathered the items to cast the protection spell. She hoped it was not too late to protect Paul. Lillie placed a white candle in the center of the table and lit it. Then she placed a glass of salt water next to the candle. One hour later, she returned to the table and washed her hands in the saltwater while visualizing her house being cleansed. The air dried her hands, and the candle went out. Lillie went into the bedroom to see how Paul was feeling. Paul was sweating, and the sheets were wet. Lillie knew the protection spell had washed all the impurities out of Paul. Paul got up and walked into the living room and started watching television with Lillie. Lillie was relieved that the spell had worked. She vowed to new do another spell when someone was in the house with her.
