Eve“I’m sorry, Eve. Our dad never wanted us to meet and I thought I should still honor his wishes. Plus after Sinclair took everything back, he made sure to send people after me to completely silence me. I had no choice but to leave the country and try to get back on my feet. I struggled alone a lot, dearest sister, but the minute that I found out he married you, I was livid.I tried to interfere but Sinclair found out and sent people after me again so I could only watch in the shadows till I had enough to use in countering him. When I saw you trying to get your revenge on him, I was most pleased, and I vowed to make sure nothing stands in your way. It was perfect because he would never see you coming and I would be able to support you from the shadows. You are going to get revenge for both of us, Eve” he said.I was alarmed to hear that he knew so much, I thought my revenge plan was tight on secrecy. Or did Richard tell him?As if he could read my thoughts, he added after a short pa

Eve It took a week for me to decide I was going to see this mysterious X person. Aside from trying to keep the family together in mourning, the weight of my guilt pulled at me heavily. I wanted nothing to do with my revenge plan anymore, I was a murderer.Richard and the others didn't contact me again, as if they were very understanding to give me space or they knew I'd be back to resume what we started. It was that curiosity that led me to meet the X person, what could they possibly know that made them so sure?The card only had the name “X” and a phone number, and when I called, I was giving a hotel address to meet the next day at midnight.So after ensuring that Sinclair and his Dad were fast asleep, I stepped out and soon arrived at the meeting location. A worker was waiting outside for me, she led me to a private dining hall and I walked in to see a man in black suit and face covered in a facecap and mask.“I knew you would come, dearest sister” He spoke in a low but audible voi

EveA week later, the funeral party of Mrs Wilfred was being held at Sinclair's mansion. Sinclair had built a small house at the back of the mansion where her body would be buried. We were currently gathered around the building and the priest was saying a few words before she was taken in. We were all dressed in black and the atmosphere was solemn and sad.I heard Sinclair sniffle beside me and I placed my hand on his shoulder to offer my comfort. For the past week, Sinclair's has been in mourning. Friends and coworkers trooped in after the other to offer their condolences. So many nights, sleep refused to come while sometimes I woke up to Sinclair weeping and staring absentmindedly at nothing. As for Bill, he was barely at the house, always outside in the small funeral house where his wife would be laid to rest. He was quiet and withdrawn, I wasn't sure I had heard his voice for days.They both barely ate, and I couldn't either. Apart from what had happened in the kitchen, I didn't d

EveThe front door flung open with a bang, and Sinclair barged in, his eyes were red, and he looked extremely confused.I was on the ground in one corner of the room, wailing my heart out when he came in. He immediately noticed me, and he shook his head like he was telling himself no before rushing to his mother's room.I knew I needed to console him so I stood up and followed behind him. “Mum!!” he called out to her as soon as he entered the room. Bill was beside her body with his head bowed. When he raised his head up, I could see the redness in them, the hurt and loss too.A lump formed in my throat, and it was hard to breathe. How did we get here? How did I get here?I had blood on my hands now and I didn't know if I should turn myself in or keep the secret with me. Sinclair fell to her side and took her hand in his shakingly. For the first time, I saw tears pouring out of his eyes like a waterfall, he began wailing and calling out for his mother.“Mom, please get up, you aren't

Eve(After Sinclair left)I opened my mouth to stop Sinclair from leaving but shut it seconds later because he had left hastily.Darn it! I had already laced his meal with the poison and was just about to set the table. This was the first time he missed his dose, I will have to make up for it in the evening.I sighed and returned to the kitchen so I could dispose of his plate before someone ate it unaware.As if on cue, I walked into the kitchen to see Wilfred eating out of Sinclair's plate. My eyes widened in alarm, and I was too frozen to move. It took everything in me not to scream at her to drop it.Upon noticing my entrance, she turned and said to me with a smile, “Hello dear, I woke up starving and the aroma of food brought me to the kitchen, I'll just take this to go if you don't mind” The color on my face drained and I felt weak in the knees. What have I done?“What’s wrong dear? You look ghastly pale, are you not well?” She came closer to me with concern and placed the back

SinclairTwo more weeks passed by in a blur and despite the nagging headache that was too darn persistent, I was thinking of resuming the office today. I have left Evie with the company's responsibilities for far too long and even though she wasn't complaining, I was long overdue.I didn't tell Eve of my plans today, I wanted it to be like a surprise so I got up early to cook something special for everyone. I was on my way to the kitchen when the door bell rang. Who was it at this early hour of the morning?It only rang once and my curiosity got the better of me, I walked to the door and opened it but there was nobody there, instead there was a red envelope on the ground. That was strange…I looked around the area for the sight of anybody but when I saw no one, I picked up the envelope and went back inside.There was a seal on it that drew my attention and made my stomach drop in fear. A black seal with the alphabet “X” on it. It couldn't be…I made sure no one was close by then I
