Capítulo 108: Eye Of The Evil
Swept by embarrassment Evelyn ran towards the open terrace that extended from the banquet. More than evading from Sio, she escaped momentarily to settle the humdrum inside her, Eve was changing, she needed to face her new feelings and know them well, before she acted stupid. She didn't want Sio to get tired if her, nor find her incompetent, or disinteresting.
She gazed at the open sky, and inhaled the night air, it was a beautiful star studded night,she had heard that it was rare to see so many stars in a big city, which is always covered with smog.The night breeze was chilly than she had expected, Susan had lend her coat earlier as she was wearing so thin, but she opened the coat to welcome the cold air, she felt more comfortable this way. The guests had left, and not a soul was found at the terrace.
Hearing the faint sound of footsteps,she quickly turned around with a silly hope in heart. "Silly girl" She mumbled, obviously he wasn't chasing her, what was she expecting now?
Anastasio was composed and matured, the CEO of a corporation, there are so many competent, desirable women around him. He is a man any woman would want. Yet, he wants her, cares for her, his ways of expressing are extreme, and he lacks in emoting his inner feeling. But then is she perfect? They are already married, but she gets overwhelmed by little things. Perhaps because everything was so circumstantial, even something like marriage, she had a marriage certificate before she could think about it. Is it really her happily ever after? She was just eighteen, she wasn't sure of most of the things let alone marriage.
Yet, every time she runs away from his arms she feels cold and empty, "Learn to accept Eve. Take each day as it comes. Don't run away like your father." Her inner voice spurred the words which she had been avoiding.
Eve suddenly felt someone someone standing right behind her, "Susan Palwalker?" It was a feminine voice, she quickly turned around, to rectify that the lady was mistaken, it wasn't her, but all her blood drained out, the moment she turned around, the hooded figure in the darkness was looming right in front of her, and the silhouette said she had something sharp in her hand.
"Who... who are you?" Evelyn's voice trembled out of absolute shock.
"Does that even matter?" the woman uttered in a malicious voice. Eve ran her eye balls but not a soul was here, even if she screamed now, her voice would never reach the sound proof glass doors.
"Listen I... I can explain..." but the woman wasn't listening.
"You dare to snatch Nathenel from me?" The woman was speaking on his own, "He said he loved me, we were so happy together. He said he would never marry you even if you are engaged.What black magic did you do wench? or, perhaps did you seduce him on bed? But he said I gave him best orgasm. Then why?"
'Calm down Eve, look at her eyes, keep talking.She is a psycho.One of Nathenel's ex-s perhaps.'
"It's a misunderstanding, I am not Susan." Evelyn was looking for an escape, why was it happening to her today of all days?
"You take me for a fool do you? I clearly saw you wearing that." Realisation dawned on Eve it was Susan's coat!
"Sio where are you?" his name came out like a chanting, she remembering her black Knight yet again.
"Die bitch!" She screamed aimed at stabbing her, in a flash Evelyn threw her coat towards her and took a flight.
The moment Anastasio left the dinner table to go after his wife, he received a message on his phone, it was from a private number: She won't see another sunrise.The message disappeared the very moment he opened it, as if it had never came.
"Fuck!" at that very there was a call from the chief of his security.
"Mr.Faunoa, someone messed with the cctv of the banquet.Stay where you are sir we are taking cover."
A cold sweat broke on his forehead, that's when he turned around, like an evil casting it's gaze on her, the red laser, was pointing to where Eve was standing. Anastasio froze, a snipper! Everything went blank. His very soul was being sucked away, an unfathomable darkness was swallowing him up. The most precious thing was about to perish in front if his eyes. No... This can't be happening. When he decided to lure the snakes he should have thought, of protecting her first. It was just a matter of second between life and death.
"Eve" her name came out, an unreachable whisper amidst existence and oblivion. Anastasio clenched his fust, when something unprecedented happened. All so suddenly a hooded figure appeared from the dark, there was a dagger in her hand. From fire to the pan.
"Shit!" he cursed, but that very moment the laser disappeared, the unexpected happening, had wavered his target. He didn't know whether to be relieved or scared. A sniper assassin, now someone with a dagger.
Evelyn flung her coat and the perpetrator was thwarted by the unprecedented counter charge, the next month the hooded female received a knock from the back she was grounded the next moment. She dropped on the floor, Anastasio was panting, fuming in rage. The guards had taken cover by then, she was disarmed immediately.
Anastasio was like a vented lava, in absolute fury, "take charge" His cold voice commanded someone over the Bluetooth.
When something catastrophic happens one is so taken aback, that the become numb, their power of reasoning of the causes and consequences reduces to nullity. They go to a state of shock, bereft of the capacity to act. Evelyn was experiencing the same, when she was attacked from her survival instinct, without thinking. When Anastasio appeared in front of her, it was like finding life, the next moment she jumped into his arms. All those thoughts which had made her uncertain dissipated.
"Sio" She cried, as tears swelled up from her eyes, as she hid her face on his chest, trembling like a frightened animal.
"I give you an hour" That's all he said to the men who were guarding them now. After that Anastasio didn't utter a word, her new red car was waiting. Edmon was at the driver's seat. Instead of letting go Anastasio took the back seat, with Eve in his arms. She had calmed herself, and right now was totally embarassed, she didn't get to say her farewell to Susan who was also in a state of shock, and Anastasio wasn't letting her go as if she would vanish the moment he would let her go. The car stopped in front of a tall apartment.
"You just have tonight, I want even the minutest details."
"Sio I...I... Can walk. Would you please put me down?" Eve implored everyone at the entrance was watching them, but Anastasio was firm and cold, immune to her requests, her words didn't reach him.
He was clearly mad to the point of being scary. she held onnto his shirt, because his strides were long and fast, which made Eve anxious.
"Sio" she called him, but his eyes were dark, his jaw clenched and his face were completely bereft of any expression.
The elevator door opened to a foyer, and Anastasio crashed his lips on Evelyn, a needy, heady, angry kiss.
