EvaI didn't bother looking at it this time. I already knew what was coming next. I had lived it and I expected her voice. Just in time it echoed through the hall.“You’re really stupid you know, just as naive as you were six years ago.”My eyes slipped shut at the sound of Brienne’s voice. The final evidence was the recording of the club bathroom. As the video played on, Her menacing words played out as it did in real life, three days ago. I easily recalled how she'd neared me, a menacing look in her eyes. I finally opened my eyes to look at the real her.Her face was pale, pure terror on her face. Any ounce of arrogance she had before was completely gone, replaced by true fear.An irony, considering our reversed roles.‘So much for being ‘naive’.’ I thought to myself, looking at her.I knew how little regard she had for me to her own detriment. In a way, she had caused her own downfall.I was telling the truth back then. I truly didn't have any recording devices with me, but it did
Eva"He was everything I wanted. All that money, that influence. id waited for him for so long and then you took him. You, a nobody."Another sob left me in the video. I was aware of the sting of alcohol in her breath when she'd neared me back then. Hearing her clearer now, there was no doubt in me that the alcohol had loosened her lips. Just in time, Brienne bursted into hysterical giggles, a sign of her addled state. “You can scream and cry and protest all you want, but now all people would think if you as is a lying cheating gold digger. History really does repeat itself doesn't it?” She spoke in-between laughter.After several minutes, the sounds lowered into silence, only the faint sound of my whimpers present until she spoke.“The first time was for you standing in the way of what I wanted. This is what you deserve for embarrassing me on my engagement party. You with your empty threats and holier than thou act. What can you do about it? Your boyfriend has left you and your rep
EvaRemoving the drive from the laptop, I made to leave only for a large frame to stop me. Surprise filled me as I looked up.“Jon?” I mouthed silently. I didn't even notice when he came up. I’d tried my best to avoid thinking or looking at his reaction in the beginning but as I kept on talking I'd lost track. I didn't know what to expect from his reaction. In hindsight, I should have expected this.Statue couldn't define how stony or hard his face looked. My heart sank. I'd promised to tell him everything and I did, albeit in public. He was already angry about them from the moment I revealed everything. Now that he knew… He made to pass me but I stopped him, tugging on his sleeve.“What are you doing?” I asked, alarmed. I didn't want him to cause a scene for my sake, not when his company was on the line.He turned to me, passing me a small mysterious smile.“Trust me,” he whispered in a voice too low I barely grasped it, speaking with his eyes. It made me gape, left bereft. He'd as
Eva“Well, this is a sight.” Julienne commented. Despite the snark in her tone, she looked lighter. Not the heavy laden person I saw in her apartment before.If it had been anybody else Jon's statement would have crumbled to the ground. Finding her in the empty space rather than some member of the press brought relief. The tension in my shoulders relaxed as I let out a breath. I felt warm skin brush across my arm, making me turn to the culprit. Jonathan looked towards her and back to me.“I'll be in the garage.” He whispered, before slipping away, leaving me alone with her.I remained still as she continued towards me. I hadn't even noticed when she'd slipped away from the podium, likely when I was at the last wrap of my speech. It didn't change the fact that I was thankful for her.“Thank you for everything.” I said when she was near enough. I let my genuineness show through my tone. She had helped me momentously.“It was justified on both our parts, and for all the other victims.” S
Good day or night wherever and whenever you read this. To everyone that made it this far I greatly thankful for your support and I hope that this book fulfilled or exceeded your expectations. I hope you enjoyed Eva's story and her exacting justice on Brienne, Geoffery and to some degree, Viktor himself. Although it seems like many things have been resolved, this is far from the end. Rather it is a new beginning with plenty more secrets, drama and complications to come. Our time with Viktor is far from over and the twins are sure to make things even more complicated As we have reached a milestone in this story, I will be taking a temporary hiatus soely for this story for the rest of this month in order to work on and expand my two previous novels. Feel free to check them out if you want to. If you have any questions about the coming Part 2, any comments on the characters, questions you wish to ask, or what you want to see or wish you had seen in this book, please feel free to share
EvaThe cold wind made me shiver as I walked through the city streets, but nothing could compare to the icy chill in my heart. The doctor's words still echoed in my ears even though I was far away from the hospital.Pregnant. I was pregnant.How was I going to deal with this? It has been half a year since I graduated from college and still had no job. I didn't even know how I was going to tell him, how he would react...I stopped in my tracks when I saw the building I called home. It at least used to be one.It was late, but I was sure Viktor didn't mind, if he was even there in the first place.Things wouldn't have been so bad if not for his constant attitude and neglect towards me. Anytime I tried to reach out, he acted violently, cursing me and breaking things around me. It hurt too much to think about. So I left him alone, even though it hurt. Since then the home that we shared together felt more like a cold house. He was never there and if he was, he never stayed long. Anytime h
SIX YEARS LATEREva“Cory! Anthea! Hurry up your friends are waiting for you!” I screamed in exhaustion towards the empty hallway.“Yes mom!” A chorus answer filled the room before footsteps approached and four little feet drew closer. I smiled fondly at the two eager children in front of me. Cory was still chewing the breakfast I made for him while Anthea had peanut butter stains on her cheek and hand.I lowered to their level and wiped the stains off her hand before facing both of them.“Don't forget what I said. Stay with your teachers all the time and stay safe.”“Yes mom.” They chorused, smiling cheekily. I couldn't help the tears that sprung from my eyes.My son and daughter, the lights of my life.It came as a shock to me that I gave birth to not one but two children. They both looked alike as well, sharing my mocha complexion with only a difference in our eyes and hair.I kissed their cheek and gave them a firm hug before leading them with their small luggage in my hands.Com
EvaI reread the name over and over, but it never changed.This couldn't be possible. It had to be a mistake.Shaking my head I turned back to Face, trying to ignore the sinking feeling in my chest.“Can you repeat the name again?” I asked, my mouth turning dry. “Viktor Reynolds.”The knot in my stomach tightened as I looked back at the file, seeing the name there.Reynolds Family Corps. There was only one company with the name like that.Throughout the six years I spent in the city I managed to steer clear away from him with little to no effort. Even as I rose up in the ranks and joined business parties I never saw him and I had avoided any news related to him, his family or their company successfully since. This city was big enough for the both of us and I thought I would go my life without seeing him.My worst fears had come to pass.I would have to face my ex, the man who threw me out without a second glance once again. The man who had cheated on me with the person who was suppos
