"What the fuck are you doing here?"Vincent scowled at the couple in front of him. It was night time and Eva was sleeping in the guestroom as she didn't want to share a room with her husband yet. When Vincent got a call from one of his guards, he rushed out of his room thinking there was some intruder in front of his house, only to be greeted by his brother Leonardo, who came with his soon-to-be fiancé, Naomi."Where is my sister?"Naomi asked in her calm voice, ignoring his scowl, while Vincent glared at her."I told you that you can't meet her right now, didn't I? I told you that I would bring her to you when I want to. I can't let you meet my wife, at least not yet, so it's better if you go back with your fiancé."Vincent tried to convince her, but Naomi wasn't having it. "Before becoming your wife, she was my sister and still is, so I don't need your permission to meet my sister. Call her right now or else I know how to do it.""Shut the fuck up."Vincent growled at her."This is
"Evv, what are you thinking? Let's go!"When Eva remained silent, Naomi grabbed her hand, so she could take Eva with her. Eva was in deep thoughts. She knew that living with Vincent forcefully wouldn't make her love him, but destroying their marriage wouldn't bring anything good to them either. When Naomi tried to a take a step further, Eva pulled her hand back from her grip, making Naomi to stop on her track and look at her baby sister, who smiled at her before saying those unexpected words."I don't want to leave, Naomi."Eva declared, making everyone shocked by her unexpected response. Eva just couldn't walk away, leaving everything behind and definitely not after that night, which was hard not to think about that night. The night when she lost her virginity to her husband. She had felt a deep connection with Vincent since that night and how he took care of her when they were done.How he cleaned her after their sex and made her sleep in his embrace. She couldn't focus but to think
"Touch her and see what happens."Leonardo threaten him. His voice was dark and scary like Vincent. Naomi grinned at having her back while Eva smiled at how lucky her sister was to find someone like Leonardo.Vincent never saw his brother lose his calm until it came to his woman, which he approves now. Vincent was proud to know that when the time came his brother could take a stand for his girlfriend because, for him as a man, you should never let anyone disrespect your woman, even if it's your father, brother or even your son."That's what I'm trying to tell you, Brother. I don't want to hurt her, and you know that if I lose my temper no one's gonna stop me, not even you, so it's better if you take her back with you and, since my wife has already declared that she doesn't want to leave me either, so better leave.""Meet me later at the boxing house. We have a fight together."Leonardo said with a knowing look, while Vincent smirked at his brother."Sure, brother."Leonardo signaled N
Eva's POV'Opening my eyes, I blinked to wave the blurry vision away from my eyes. My whole body pains like hell. I tried to focus on my surroundings after gaining consciousness. That's when the realization hit me damn. When I was in the garden watering the plants, someone tried to attack me and when I tried to fight back that man, dressed in black, but he hit me in the head with something so hard that I passed away on the spot.That's the reason my head aches so badly that I can barely focus anymore. When Luca tried to save me from that man, he shot him in the leg. God, I hope he's good. I felt unfortunate for him. I suddenly started to feel scared thinking about where I was. When my eyes settled down on my surroundings, the ground slipped beneath my feet. It was all dark. So dark that there was no source of light present except from some broken bulbs, making it appear like some ghost movie. God, where am I?It looks like some abandoned industrial area with no source of light present
"My first question. Tell me why did you try to escape my brother when he caught you up running away from your father's mansion?"When I remained silent, the man in front of me asked me in his scary dark husky voice that made me shiver internally."My father used to abuse me since my childhood and never let me step out of the mansion and the world didn't know that I existed because of him. When I wasn't able to take it anymore, I tried to escape my own house, but Edward caught me."I answered before the devil in front of me while he remained quiet for sometime as he was analyzing it."Why did your own father abused you in the past?"I shook my head."I don't know."After all, he never told us the reason behind his venomous hate towards us."What happened after Edward caught you?"I was a little hesitant but answered him anyway."He tried to punish me on my father's orders."The devil's eyes turned blank like a void of emotions, but I can never forget that day. It was a nightmare for me
"You want to know the reason behind my hate, right? I will tell you."Father glared at me before answering."I lost my love of life, my wife, because of these two bitches who should never deserve to breathe, let alone live."He split the venom with his poisonous tongue. What does it feel to be called a bitch by your own father? It's an ugly feeling. A feeling which one should never get to feel. Hate was slipping through his eyes."I loved my wife so much that I never thought that I would lose her on that stormy night. Everything was going perfectly. My perfect family. She was pregnant, and I was so eager to hold my twins, but everything was ruined.""W-What?""Then you two came into this world and destroyed my own world with your life."Tears gathered in my eyes as something heavy settled on my chest."W-What do you m-mean?"I asked, gathering some courage. I hope it's not another nightmare for Naomi and me, since we know our father's truth."You and Naomi killed your own mother. You
BANG!!!The sound of gunshots echoed throughout the whole room. My breath hitched, not knowing how to breathe. It was silent. My eyes slowly went towards the body, which fell on the ground with a loud thud. It was none other than father's body. Francesco shot him between the eyes exactly on his temple.For a second, I didn't know how to feel. It was like I lost my feeling. I was more numb than before. I stared blankly at the body lying before me. A few inches away from my feet. I remember how Farncesco took a sudden turn and shot father. It was a trap. It felt like he had planned it before doing that. A hand cupped my cheek, making me look at the person kneeling down before me."You okay? I'm sorry for putting you in danger."Vincent said before kissing my whole face with affection. The whole time, my eyes never left the dead body. Father's eyes were open. He looked like the next nightmare for me. His eyes looked so scary that it was their to destroy me. Now I can never remove this im
He carried me towards the car and the whole time his blood was dripping down his shoulder, making me more worried than possible. Why does he have to be so stubborn? I sighed when he placed me in the passenger's seat and settled himself in the driver's seat. I stared at him in confusion when he didn't make any move to start the engine of the car. What is he planning to do?As I was about to open my mouth to ask him. A loud horror blast was heard behind us, making me jump in my place. After removing my hand away from my ears, opening my eyes, I turned my head behind us from where the blast sound was heard earlier.I gasped, witnessing the fire behind us where we were earlier. The whole basement was now burning to ashes. It was a horrific sight for me. I turned my head at my husband only to be met by some stupid smile plastered on his face."Y-You did that?"I asked in my shaky voice."Yes, butterfly."He answered, staring behind us at the burning place."Like you said, I have fulfilled
Seven months later!The bedroom was a slumbering giant, quiet and dark. The only source of light was soft moonlight reaching through the window. The shadow of Eva clung to the walls as she got up from the bed way too silently, preventing herself from making any noise that could wake her husband. She entered the kitchen. The only sound was a faint hum of the fridge as she tiptoed barefoot across the cool tiles. Every step felt like a secret, the wood beneath her feet creaking just enough to make her pause and to see if her husband had come around.But she can't blame herself for waking up in the middle of the night because of her pregnancy cravings. That craving hit her like a storm hours ago, a hunger so fierce it gnawed at her and tugged her out of bed. Eva opened the fridge door with a careful softness, as if even the rush of cold air might betray her. The insides are glowing like a treasure chest just like moonlight.Grinning, she opened the ice-cream tub, taking a spoonful of mint
There's a phrase called.'Pain is a silent storm that rages within, unseen by the world but felt in every breath I take.'They lost a baby!But they still had another one!In the hospital's white sheets Eva stared blankly at the ceiling. She was numb to feel anything absorbing the news from earlier. Her heart wasn't ready to accept that they had lost a baby, but she was still pregnant with the other one. Yes, she was pregnant with twins, but their fate took an ugly turn. Her heart pained at the loss, but at the same time it was relieved that she was still pregnant. She was pregnant but she lost the other one. She didn't know how to feel about it.The doctor checked her with a stethoscope while Vincent's gaze remained stuck on her stomach. He was feeling the same emotions as her but showed an emotionless demeanor towards the outer world."It's a phenomenon called 'vanishing twin syndrome'. It wasn't a rare case, as people believe, but who can escape destiny?"The doctor's last words ad
Author's POV'Eva trembled as fear started rising in her when Chloe declared that, and before she could open her mouth to say something, a loud voice could be heard inside the basement."I'll burn down the world, including you, if you even dare to hurt my wife, Chloe."Her eyes snapped towards the source of the voice. She took a breath of relief as silent tears made their way through her eyes."Oh, so you have finally come, my dear son."Chloe stated sarcastically, but my eyes were stuck on Vincent, who wasn't even glancing her way. Her heart clenched thinking he might not forgive her this time for the stupidity she did."Come to the point, Chloe."His eyes remained firm on his mother."What's the hurry, son? We are meeting after so long, and I'm your mother, so don't call me by my name."Chloe's eyes started to turn red in anger when she stated the last line."You don't deserve to be called a mother. In fact, you don't deserve to be one."Chloe gritted her teeth at his words."Watch
"If you want to find out about an important woman in your husband's life, then come and meet me at the given location."I stared at the message in front of me blankly. I was so excited not too long ago, and I was feeling numb not understanding my own feelings. After finding out about my pregnancy, the happiness and incredible feelings which I was feeling was just indescribable. I was so excited to surprise Vincent with this news, but got this heartbreaking message which shattered my heart into pieces.Is this the same woman whom Vincent was taking with the other day?I need to find out about her. It is a necessity for me to know, since Vincent wasn't telling me on his own. We can't move on to our next chapter of life without knowing one's past life. He already knows about mine but me, on the other hand? What about me? Isn't it my right to know about my husband's past life which he refused to tell me about?"Since you won't tell me, I need to find out on my own or else we can't move on
Holding my hair at one side, I continued to throw up in the toilet of whatever I ate this afternoon until my stomach emptied completely. Vomits are the most disgusting thing in the world. I always find them way to hell because it takes all my strength away, leaving me numb and weak. I was feeling so numb that I couldn't even stand on my feet even if I tried, so I sat there until I was able to stand on my feet.I was still feeling that sweet sore between my legs after our last night's session.I'm not complaining though. A tear rolled down my cheeks when last night flashed in front of me."I don't want you again in my life. Do you get that? I'm happy with my wife and don't want any other woman in my life."Whom was he talking about? Is he hiding his past from me? Don't I have the right to know? Did he had another woman in his past, and now she's trying to get back?I sobbed as I felt an immense pain inside my heart when I thought about possibilities. I should trust him and nothing else.
I stared up at him with my glossy eyes while his eyes were still closed as he made his wish with a blow of a candle. I smiled back through my glossy eyes when he opened his eyes, smiling."It's not a good thing to let others know about your wishes, Vincent."I exclaimed softly, trying to control my tears, but unfortunately, one tear escaped from my eye. He chuckled lowly before wiping my tear using his thumb."For me, I wanted you to know my wish."He whispered near my ear, leaning down."Because no one can fulfill it rather than you."I smiled, bringing the cake up towards him."Come on now, cut the cake and tell me how it is?"I exclaimed happily, but he narrowed his eyes in curiosity. I sighed dramatically before saying."Because I made it with my own hands for you."It's my first cake which I baked by the way, but I won't tell him because I don't want to terrify him by telling him it's my first time making a cake. Yes, I have baked before, but they were muffins, not cakes.He shoo
Eva's POV'Time, a ceaseless tide, moves on, A river with no end or dawn.It flows in whispers, soft and fast, turning the future into the past.Pages turn and seasons blend, stories shift, the chapters bend.In its current, moments flee, Echoes of what used to be.Yet within its endless sweep, we find the dreams we strive to keep.Time, in all its fleeting grace, Shapes the contours of our place.

Eva gasped when he lifted her off the ground."What are you doing?"She hissed."Can't you see I'm carrying my wife?"Her heart flattered when he said that. Placing her on the couch, he sat beside her."Is it hurting?"Vincent asked while taking her wrist in his hold. She nodded her head in anticipation."I know it is."He declared while kissing the red spot on her wrist. Her wrist throbbed with an insistent ache, the swelling turning her skin a painful shade of red.As her husband gently kissed the inflamed area, his touch was both tender and soothing. The warmth of his lips seemed to carry a comfort that transcended the physical relief he was offering. At that moment, her pain felt less like an isolated torment and more like a shared experience, softened by his unwavering presence.Her heart swelled with a deep, aching gratitude, mingled with an overwhelming sense of love. Tears threatened to spill, not just from the pain, but from the profound reassurance of his compassion. She fel
As the sun began its gentle descent, the sky transformed into a serene canvas of soft pastel—blushed pinks, mellow oranges, and calming purples blending seamlessly. The air, now cooler than the warmth of the day, carried a gentle, fragrant breeze that rustled through the trees in a soothing lullaby.Shadows stretched long and delicate, dancing lightly on the ground as if playing tag with the fading light. The distant hum of day-to-day life receded, replaced by the quiet symphony of crickets and the occasional chirp of a nightingale.The horizon, tinged with a tranquil glow, seemed to embrace the world in a comforting embrace, promising rest and renewal as the stars began to twinkle softly above. In this gentle twilight, the evening wrapped everything in a blanket of peace, inviting reflection and calm except for Eva. crueltyIt was almost a serene night and there were no traces of Vincent, which was making Eva restless. It was unsettling for her after whatever happened a few hours ago
