How come Cora's kiss did not break Rumple's curse of being the Dark One? Rumple loved Cora and he said so. (He changed the contract to have a child with Cora and have a family.) Cora said to Rumple that he was the only man that she has ever loved and that she could rip her own heart for. So, why didn't Cora's kiss, which seemed like a true love's kiss, break Rumple's curse, as Bell's kiss almost did Rumple's until Rumple himself rejected it to stay in power.

And Why didn't Bell's kiss break Rumple's curse in the magic-present Storybrooke?
