Broken Evelyn Miller Novels & Stories

Ethan Hernandez - March, 2012 "Nick, I knew I would see you again," she said softly, looking at a fixed point in the corner of the elevator. But there was nothing there. Sofia was delusional. "You died, and I died with you," she said, seeming angry, trying to reach for something that didn't exist. I didn't know if I should pull her back to reality or let her have that moment. It seemed like she was finally releasing everything she had been holding onto this past year.

Maria Estates “Sorry to disturb you Ma’am but the situation had turned critical. We can’t control it anymore.” Joseph told Evelyn with a heavy heart who was sitting on her chair, her gaze stuck on the bundle of newspapers sprawled all over her table. Another tragedy knocked on her door as someone murdered Miller and blasted the entire building. A way to erase all the evidence. Evelyn as usual didn’t remember that Miller was killed ruthlessly by a dark shadow who brutally strangled him with a leather belt. All she knew was that she was molested by Miller and fortunately got saved by Brandon. But for some reason, her heart wasn’t ready to accept him as her savior.

He sighed, "The furnace is on a timed cycle. Once it's ignited, it won't open until the process is finished." Evelyn collapsed to the ground, her spirit broken. "Murderers. You're all murderers."

"Cough!" Darkness swam before my eyes. My insides felt twisted and broken. Through the haze, I saw Evelyn unscrew the medicine bottle—only to pour every single pill into the filthy water bucket beside her. The medicine was gone. Mom's last hope was gone. I watched in horror as my mother's body convulsed one final time before going completely still, her consciousness fading into nothing. "Noooo! Evelyn Scott! I'll kill you!" Swallowing the blood pooling in my mouth, I grabbed a nearby metal probe and swung it toward her head with all my strength.

Slowly, I turned it over. A message notification appeared. Unknown sender. The preview line made my breath stop. I’m going to release this soon. A video file attached. My fingers hesitated before opening it. The screen flickered to life. A white room. Evelyn seated in a chair. In the mental facility. My heart slammed violently against my ribs. The narrative everyone believed that Evelyn has been dead is now shattered. People were showing me a lil bit of mercy because he’s not married. Now, a picture of his wife- ex wife or not- being alive is shown to the public.

How Adrian wronged and manipulated her, and that made her abort her own child; how her and Evan's relationship broke up; Evan's trust issues; Adrian's scheme just because he was jealous that she chose Evan over him; how Evan left her alone and divorced her when she needed him the most; how her father died of a heart attack when he heard that she got divorced; and how her life turned upside down in an instant, leaving her feeling lost and broken. And then he came back once again and tormented her a lot; she was fighting his hatred, and she got pregnant with his child. Now he wants her back; Adrian kidnapped her; she and he had an accident; Adrian died, and she lost her memory. Evelyn explaine

“There has to be.” Victor held her gaze, not cold and not distant, only honest. “This was never designed to stop halfway.” Her hands curled at her sides. “Then we break it.” “You break it,” Victor said quietly, “he dies.” Silence followed again, heavier this time and impossible to escape, while the distant hum of the failing facility pulsed unevenly through the walls as though echoing the truth she refused to accept. Evelyn stood abruptly. “I’m not losing him.” Victor’s voice followed.

“Oliver has been a huge support in my life more than you ever have, so just because I'm keeping quiet doesn't mean you should mistake my silence for foolishness.” “But that's exactly what this... rendezvous of yours is. Absurdity in the highest order, and I can't stand by and idly watch my daughter make a fool of herself!” he spat, tossing a newspaper onto the table. The headline read: AFTER DESTROYING CASSANDRA MILLS' HOUSEHOLD, EVELYN LAURENT APPEARS EIGHT YEARS LATER IN A HOSPITAL, HAPPILY IN LOVE WITH A NEW MAN. The image that followed the headline showed pictures of Evelyn and me from last week at the hospital. Picking up the newspaper, Evelyn raked her gaze over the headline and then t

​Amidst the sheer cruelty of what had transpired, Evelyn chose to escape in her own way. She withdrew from reality completely, sinking into a coma that lasted a full week. It was a week of pure psychological and physical agony, during which she fought nightmares far more bitter than her actual reality. In her sleep, she saw blood, and a weeping child stretching his tiny hand out to her, while Kai’s voice echoed relentlessly through her mind: "Defective woman... murderer!"

Then she brought out a black-covered diary, carefully wrapped, along with several of Lilith's drawings and everything from that run-down apartment. "Please... give these to Lilith for me. "If she forgets... I hope these will help her remember a little... even just a little..." When she finished, she took one last, long look at the still-sleeping Lilith. The emotions in that look were too complicated to name. There was love, guilt, tenderness, and reluctance to let go. Then the silver ring on Evelyn's finger finally shattered completely, dissolving into specks of silver light. Her pupils trembled violently. Her life began ebbing away bit by bit, like the tide going out...
