Chapter 3

Eva's POV 

"You must think that I am a bigger fool than I already think I am, Adrian" I said to him in a cold voice, looking at him dead in the eye. Adrian was taken aback, not expecting me to speak to him in such tone.

"Eva-"

"No!" I snapped at him, not wanting to hear my name from his disgusting lips. I never wanted to hear my name from him again. He was a stupid man that I had foolishly trusted. One that I was in love with for so long. I had envisioned a life together with him, while he planned together with my sister to have me out of the picture.

"How dare you think you have some authority over me Adrian?" I spat out his name. "How dare you think you can command me? You have no right to speak to me, to call my name after betraying me, you two ruined my life and I would never forgive you for it" I pointed at them.

"Listen to me-"

"No you listen to me!" I interrupted him. "Do you realize the gravity of your actions? Do you know what it feels like to live in that place? Waiting everyday for someone to rescue me? The world sees me as a murderer, even my own family. Mom and Dad disowned me, and the people that promised to rescue me, end up betraying me" I let out a sadistic laughter. "Wow, I must really have bad luck, I must have offended a god or something to be punished so severely" I said and stared at them sternly. "Listening to you two is the last thing I will do. I will not, ever return to that prison! Never again" I snapped.

Livia let out an evil laugh, staring at me like a lowly bug to be crushed. "What? You refuse to go back to where you belong? You are a criminal and must be punished accordingly" she said and I sneered at her.

"I am not a criminal!" I snapped.

"Your father is, it must run in the blood" Livia said and I frowned. 

"What are you talking about" I asked in confusion. Had she gone mad? Had she forgotten that we were siblings and had the same parent?

"Oh? I see that you're as clueless as ever" she said in a mocking tone and I frowned, I had never itched to slap someone this badly. Even when I lived in the prison and was being taunted, I remained on my best behaviour and tried not to let their taunting and teasing get to me. However, Livia was someone that I couldn't ignore, I tried my hardest but I just could not ignore her.

"What are you talking about Livia?" I asked her the same question and it seemed like this time she was finally ready to talk.

"Since mom left out the details while telling you stories from the past, I will gladly give you some lessons on family history, being the good sister that I am" she said with an evil glare that told me she was about to deliver bad news.

"You see, about twenty five years ago, there was a man and a woman. This man was a creep, a weirdo and a stalker in every way. He was a predator, a disgusting human, no an animal who deserved death in the cruelest way possible" Livia said and I frowned, not understanding what she was talking about.

"What are you sayi-"

"Hush hush now sister. Don't interrupt me and enjoy this little history lesson that I am giving you. It's one you'll ever hear from anywhere else" She said, smirking at me.

"You see, this weirdo likes this woman, but she was too good for him. She turned him down multiple times as she should. And after being faced with rejection multiple times, you know what this creep did to this innocent woman? I'll save you the time you'll use to ponder in your little empty head. He raped her!" She snapped and I flinched involuntarily. What was Livia talking about?

"That animal raped the poor woman and she became pregnant with the animals child. Thankfully a rich kind man decided that she deserved all the love in the world and married her. That woman had two daughters, one was the daughter of the animal and one, was the princess and rightful heir to her father's company" Livia said with a sadistic smile dancing on her lips as she stared at me like she could see right through her soul.

"That animals child, is you Eva. You are the daughter of a disgusting rapist" Livia sneered at me and my eyes widened in shock. "Your predator father raped mother. You are a product of rape and a continuous reminder of that sad incident, you were never wanted Eva. You should have never been born. You deserve to die. And that prison is where you and your father deserve to be in forever" Livia said and tears began to fall from my eyes as I shook my head in denial. No, she was lying. That couldn't be true.

"You should have been disowned by mom and dad a long time ago" she continued.

"No! You're lying!" I screamed at her but she let out a scoff.

"Of what use are you to me that I would spend my precious time lying to you?" Livia raised hee perfectly carved brows as she continued to speak. "It is nothing but the truth, Eva. You have no right to claim any position in the company. The head position is rightfully mine and I will claim it together with my husband Adrian. You deserve nothing, you and your father should rot in hell! You're better off not being in our lives. I wonder how our dear poor mother feels every time she sees your face, knowing that you are a product of a traumatic event to her" Livia said and i had never felt so broken.

I used my hands to block my ears, not wanting to hear anymore of her hurtful words.

"No! No! You're lying! It's not true! None of it is true!" I screamed, shaking my head in denial.
