Chapter Eight: Tit For Tat

Eve’s pov

“What are you doing here?” My eyes widened in horror when the lights turned back on.  

“Please just listen to me, Eve.” He moved to take a step closer. 

“Don’t!” I yelled. 

“Please I just need one minute of your time, I just…” He was still talking. 

“You are not getting even a second of my time.” I cut him short from completing whatever he was about to say. 

“I’m calling security.” I said under my breath as I picked up my phone and approached the door. 

I was going to get his ass sued. How dare he show his face in front of me, not on any other day but on my wedding day and in my bridal restroom. 

Even If it was any other day I still wouldn’t want to see his stupid face. 

I missed my chance once of throwing his stupid ass in jail when he attempted to end my life two years ago. I remember it like yesterday. I never forgot. 

I remember how many nights I cried knowing Brian could go that far. 

That was a man I would give my life to if he asked for it. 

Well, I did give him my life since those years of being with him everyday ended with either his mother or sister harassing me or him emotionally manipulating me. 

I remember how I cried to Arthur to help me get my revenge, but he insisted I let go of my past and move forward with my life since there was no evidence whatsoever to help me get back at Brian and Morgan for what they did to me. 

I remember it all. 

I was about to place the phone on my ears when it got snatched from my hand. 

“Give it back.” I yelled. He threw my phone to the ground. 

“Keep it down Eve, you wouldn’t want your husband or anyone to find you in a room with your ex husband now.” He said in a creepy tone. He made a point. 

In my two years of marriage with Brian and not even when he tried to end my life with Morgan I have never seen his eyes that dark. 

“Brian you shouldn’t be here.” My voice betrayed me. My hands were shaking. As much as I was trying to keep calm, I couldn’t help it. He tried to cut my life short once and he might as well try to do it again. 

“We don’t need to act rash now do we?” He raised a brow as he slid something out of his back pocket. I didn’t get to see what it was but I am not allowing him to hurt me again. 

My eyes reached for the door. It wasn't so far away but I would have to pass him to get to it. 

I was not going to stay with him alone in a room for another second, so I used all my might to take huge steps to run away. 

“Ahh….” I tripped and Brian was quick to pull me back. I fell with a thud. 

“Are you okay Eve?” He tried to help me from the ground and I slapped him on the face. I was done trying to run away. 

“You push me and you dare to ask if I am ok?” I snapped. He must be out of his damn mind trying to play his manipulating tricks right now. 

“How dare you Brian?” I withheld my tears. He wasn’t worth seeing me in pain. 

I gradually stood up from the ground. The shock on his face was evident. 

“How dare you try to ambush me on my wedding day?  I wasn’t shouting at all. My voice was calm and steady. I maintained my eye contact with him. 

“My marriage to you was hell Brian, your mother and your sister harassed me, I took all of that because I loved you but you took advantage of my love for you.” I wasn’t stopping, I was far from stopping. 

“I decided to let it all go and what did you do Brian?” I narrowed my eyes on him. 

“Huh?”  I have had all of this pent up anger in my heart for years. Good thing he showed himself in front of me so I could tell him what an evil person he is. 

“What did you do?” I didn’t realize I was enclosing him. 

“You went ahead to try ending me with that little bitc… “

“I didn’t mean to do any of that Eve.” He yelled. His eyes were darker. 

“I really don’t want to hurt you Eve, please don’t force me to.” He brushed his hair with his hands rather roughly. 

“I just.. I just want you to sign this paper right here.” He brought it out from his suit pocket. 

I chuckled. 

That was it? He almost left me star struck. 

For a second there I just thought..

I was pathetic enough to think he was going to beg for forgiveness and actually sincerely apologize this time around. I was stupid to think he was going to apologize for how he and his family treated me all those years and for what he did to me with Morgan, but no I was wrong. 

He was here for me to sign a damn document huh. 

I was high over my head. Brian never loved me, he just used me and now he is here to use me again.  He must think really little of me. 

I wasn’t sure how I was feeling anymore. He just didn’t deep his hand in my already opened wounds, he poured salt on it. 

Usually I would tell him what a piece of shit he is, but I was done throwing words at Brian. 

I swore to myself years back that I would make Brian and everyone involved with him suffer and I wasn’t bluffing, but this time around I will not only make it my life mission to make him pay, I will make him wish he never met me. 

“Give me the damn paper.” I didn’t have much of a choice. Brian was losing his mind and I needed to be alive to get my revenge on him. 

My eyes glittered when I saw the content of the document.
