The Bitter One

AN: this is Unlocking The Vault continuation. It was intended to be short. I need the cliffhanger.



Running away is never a solution. Even without any form of communication, Adam still haunts her. There was not a day that she hadn’t thought about him, though thinking about him was like a dagger drove right into her chest. She felt betrayed, she felt defeated. If Adam had forgotten all about her, why should she embrace his memories? But she can’t help it. She loved Adam, he was her first in many ways. It is true that Adam had battered her, he had given her reasons to mourn, but their happy moments were too many that it prevailed above everything. It was unachievable to entirely get over him. Over the years, she had learnt to conceal her emotions quite effectively.

Eve bravely relived her memoires, the bitter part of her that she sealed from anyone, not even herself would she permitted to visit it. In those years, she coldheartedly sliced the hearts of men, dancing to the music of their screams of pains, swimming leisurely in the tears they had shed for her. She let them flew towards the heaven and brutally yanked them down in the process, before they even get a whiff of the sanctified serenity. She had became vicious, a villain in love, because she wanted companions to walk down the misery lane. She did not want to grieve alone. However, this was not done to any man, this sadistic side of hers was reserved only for disloyal men. She despised any act of infidelity, which evoked her memories of Adam’s proximity to Odyne.

That was when her brother came into the picture. He was what they called a cousin, but he loved her dearly, as if she was his flesh and blood sister. He was the only one whom was aware of her shape. He saw what Adam did to her and for that he swore on his life that he would allow no one to mess with her. He blamed himself for her pains, he saw it as his failure that Adam managed to harm her to that extent. That was the moment when he decided to intervene in her life, every aspects in her life was arranged by him. He monitored her and subsequently instructed her of what to do. Eventually, he seemed too carried away that he had forgotten his own life and made hers his precedence. Eve knew very well what was he trying to do, and she felt that she owed him explanation for her every actions.

Eve was not completely ill-fated to only stumble upon these revolting creatures, but she also came to know some benevolent men. These men reminded her of Adam’s traits, mainly selfless and civilized. She did not have the heart to hurt these men that she eventually forsook them. She forbade herself to yield to anyone, in any kind of liaison. She did not know what incite her terror in that area, what may have caused her to distrust any men. One thing that she had absolute certainty was that she was yet to bare her true self to any being. Adam had wounded her severely, more than she ever thought.
