Eva's Sins.

"Sometimes is better to live in the jungle, than in the modern society"

  Edward Anderson Bell's death was quite unexpected. A healthy man, leaving his house in the morning to visit a sick friend, but who never turned back home, has raised multiple questions about to whom his death was beneficial, but the rumor remained only a gossip because nobody dared to accuse officially on one of the suspects

  But not the same Sophie was thinking and she wasn't afraid to accuse someone and she started her "war" against Brian first, because, in her opinion, he's the one to whom her father's death was more convenient because he could be now with his mistress, without any obstacles.

  "Do you hear what you say, Sophie? Did I kill him? For what?" and Brian definitely was furious, because he never thought that his wife could be so cruel to him. Yes, they are married only formally, but he thought she's wise and that she knew him, at least a little bit, but he saw that he had been wrong in his trust in her.

  "He was against your affair. He was by my side and because he threatened to bring you to your knees, if you don't end your "relationship", you did what you did."

  Sophie's eyes were now the eyes of a predator. She felt that she was able now to break into pieces all those who would have tried to oppose her or disagree with her, and she was convinced to start her revenge with Brian.

  "But it won't be like you dreamt, Brian. I'll find your "love" and I'll make her pay for what she did to our family and then you will see what it means to mess with Anderson Bell's family."

  Brian grabbed her hand, the moment, Sophie passed next to him, and he forced her to stop. "You are not thinking normally, Sophie. This is not you."

  Sophie looked at him, but in her glance was only an empty void, which was filling with hatred only. "I'm not myself since I married you, Brian Beneath. It had been my worst mistake because I thought that we could be partners, but instead we became enemies."

  She retreated her hand and took a few steps, but she stopped, listening to Brian's words, who was standing with his back to her and was talking to her with reproach. "I never looked for a partner when I married you, Sophie. I needed a companion, but instead, I've received only an ice cube that is accusing me now of something I had never been capable of. Yes. I and Edward had our differences, but I respected him and because I respected him, I never could make him suffer, but I understand you too: you are hurt now and you want to find a guilty person on whom to take revenge, but listen to me carefully, Sophie: don't mess with the one I love or you will see of what Brian Beneath is capable of."

  Brian left and only his footsteps are heard moving away, but Sophie still doesn't dare to look behind him. In her heart is a complete mess, as is in her head. She's not thinking properly and she smells the scent of blood when she looks around at all the crows that came into her house, to say goodbye to her father, but she knows that they are here only to find out who killed him.

  "They say it was a lover who did this to him," an old lady whispered to the group, in the middle of which she was sitting. "I heard it from my husband. He says that he saw him a few days ago with a young lady, a strange one, but he doesn't know who she was, but he thinks that she's one of the "Red Ants."

  The women, who were surrounding her, became even more curious than before and they approached her chair more. A strange blink could be seen in the eyes of many of them because what was happening now was the event of the century and none of them wanted to "lose" any detail, because it could be a huge opportunity for their husbands to break the ranks and to go into Politics.
