Chapter 497: A Bullet To The Heart
Eve’s high-pitched squeal was like nails on a chalkboard as she turned to me, her entire body trembling in rage.
"You are the other woman," she hissed, her eyes narrowing on me like I was the cause and effect of every shitty thing in her life. "You are the original other woman. If the word other woman was in the dictionary, your face would be beside it. Poor little Lucy, can’t stand to not be the center of attention, you just had to steal what wasn’t yours, now didn’t you?"
I never really understood the word gas-lighting before, and maybe I was wrong, but this felt a lot like that. Not to mention, I can only barely remember my time in the garden, and I really didn’t remember it that way.
"And when you poisoned everything around you, and destroyed all mankind for the rest of eternity, you simply got up and walked away," continued Eve, practically panting as she word vomited all over the place.
Seriously, this was not how I remembered it at all.
In fact, I didn’t even think humanity was a thing at that time... since there were only two humans.
"And then you started all over again, didn’t you? Tried to play creator and made your own creatures, but what happened? You poisoned them, too. Of course they turned their backs on you, who could stand looking at you on a daily basis, knowing that all you do is destroy everything good."
Okay, I had just about enough of that shit. Of course, it didn’t help that she was stroking every last one of my insecurities when it came to the guys, but either way, I was getting a tiny bit cranky.
"Shut up," hissed Adam, his face completely red as he stared down his wife. I think we might actually be witnessing a murder soon, if any of us could really stay dead. "You know nothing. There is nothing inside your head besides jealousy. You know that’s one of the deadly sins, right? It’s rotting your mind. You blame everyone else but yourself."
"Um," I said hesitantly, holding up a hand. "I know for a fact that jealousy is not one of the deadly sins. Just saying."
"Shut up," hissed Eve. She was beginning to sound a lot like a snake with all the hissing she was doing. "He wasn’t speaking to you. See, this is my point. We’re having a conversation, it had nothing to do with you, so why don’t you just shut that hole or stuff it with a cock. That’s all you’re good at, after all."
Okay, now I wasn’t going to play nice anymore. However, before I could say anything, Eric had already stepped up. Slapping Eve with the back of his hand, he stared down at the woman who had given birth to him. "Look," he said, his voice dropping an octave as he stepped closer to Eve. "I don’t care what shit you and Adam have going on, but I suggest that you keep her name out of your mouth. You might just live longer that way."
