Destroying a part of her

Eve’s POV

My eyes lazily drifted to the clock in the living room. It was almost midnight. Tom hadn’t come home and while a part of me was worried something bad had happened to him.

I wasn’t all that surprised. Tom had a knack for going off whenever he wanted, doing whatever he liked and if that meant sleeping with other women, then so be it. He was the man of the house after all. 

I sniffed at the thought and directed my gaze at the TV. Nuren had gone to bed an hour ago. A tiny part of me had hoped like a desperate fool that she would come sit with me and we could see a movie together or something. 

But that would never happen. Nuren would only get into more trouble and I would bear the brunt of it. Tom had always forbidden building any sort of friendship with the staff. I had no idea why, whatever his reasons were however, they made me feel even lonelier.
