"Don’t do it love! Please. Am sorry I hurt you. How can I live without you? Forgive me. " The girl stood at the cross road. Tears streamed down her pale cheek as she debated between listening to his pleas or to her heart. She was tired and could no longer take any of it. He took everything from her yet she stayed until she felt that her soul was no longer alive. Each pain he caused chipped a little at her soul until there was nothing left to give. She was now an empty soul that was hanging on a thin thread. She was only breathing, but being alive never counted as living. It was time to let go. She closed her eyes and run in to the middle of the road. A loud screech was heard as her blood painted the black tarmac red. Nooo….. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ NOTE: This work is on-going and not yet edited.

"Du wolltest mich nie", Evas Stimme zitterte, aber ihr Blick blieb fest, als sie Maxmillan anfunkelte. "Du warst zu geblendet von deiner Liebe zu Sara, um die Wahrheit zu sehen." Maximilian ballte seine Fäuste, sein Kiefer angespannt. "Glaubst du, ich bereue es nicht? Jeden Moment, Eva. Jeden Moment, in dem ich dir wehgetan habe..." "Mir wehgetan?" unterbrach sie ihn, ihre Augen voller Zorn. "Du hast mich ruiniert, Max. Du hast zugelassen, dass meine Schwester und Stiefmutter mich zerstören, und als ich dich am meisten brauchte, hast du mir den Rücken zugewandt, du hast mich durch die Hölle gehen lassen." Seine Brust verengte sich. "Ich lag falsch. Das weiß ich jetzt, aber..." "Aber es ist zu spät", fauchte sie. "Ich bin nicht mehr das hilflose Mädchen, das du zurückgelassen hast. Ich bin zurückgekommen, um zu holen, was mir gehört." Max' Stimme wurde sanfter, fast flehend. "Und was, wenn ich ein Teil dessen bin, was dir gehört?" Evas Lippen kräuselten sich zu einem bitteren Lächeln. "Vielleicht. Oder vielleicht werde ich dich zerstören, so wie du mich zerstört hast." ******* Zu einer lieblosen Ehe gezwungen, um das Familienunternehmen zu retten, erträgt Eva die Grausamkeit ihres Ehemanns Maximilian, der glaubt, sie hätte seinen Großvater manipuliert, sie als Braut zu wählen. Geblendet von seiner Liebe zu ihrer Schwester, ließ Maximilian Eva durch die Hölle gehen. Eva wird für eine Tragödie verantwortlich gemacht und ins Gefängnis geschickt, sie wird von einer mächtigen und einflussreichen Person gerettet, von deren Existenz sie nie wusste. Sechs Jahre später kehrt Eva zurück. Nicht mehr die gebrochene und hilflose Frau, die sie einst war, ist sie jetzt eine Kraft, mit der man rechnen muss. Sie ist zurück, um sich an all jenen zu rächen, die ihr Leben zur Hölle gemacht haben. Nun bereut Maximilian seine Fehler und ist nicht bereit, sie gehen zu lassen. Wird Eva sich für die Liebe entscheiden oder wird Rache das Einzige sein, was ihr gebrochenes Herz heilen kann?

"Nunca me quisiste", la voz de Eva tembló, pero su mirada era firme mientras miraba a Maxmillan. "Estabas demasiado cegado por tu amor por Sara para ver la verdad." Maximilian apretó los puños, con la mandíbula tensa. "¿Crees que no me arrepiento? Cada momento, Eva. Cada momento que pasé haciéndote daño.." "¿Haciéndome daño?" lo interrumpió, sus ojos llenos de ira. "Me arruinaste, Max. Dejaste que mi hermana y mi madrastra me destruyeran, y cuando más te necesitaba, me diste la espalda, me hiciste pasar por un infierno." Su pecho se tensó. "Me equivoqué. Lo sé ahora, pero..." "Pero es demasiado tarde", espetó. "Ya no soy la chica indefensa que dejaste atrás. He vuelto por lo que es mío." La voz de Max se suavizó, casi suplicante. "¿Y si yo soy parte de lo que es tuyo?" Los labios de Eva se curvaron en una sonrisa amarga. "Tal vez. O tal vez te destruiré como tú me destruiste a mí." ******* Obligada a un matrimonio sin amor para salvar el negocio de su familia, Eva soporta la crueldad de su marido, Maximilian, quien cree que ella manipuló a su abuelo para que la eligiera como su novia. Cegado por su amor por la hermana de Eva, Maximilian hizo que Eva pasara por un infierno. Eva es incriminada por una tragedia y enviada a prisión, es rescatada por una figura poderosa e influyente que nunca supo que existía. Seis años después, Eva regresa. Ya no es la mujer rota e indefensa que una vez fue, ahora es una fuerza con la que hay que contar. Ha vuelto para buscar venganza contra todos aquellos que habían hecho de su vida un infierno. Ahora, Maximilian se arrepiente de sus errores y no está dispuesto a dejarla ir. ¿Elegirá Eva el amor o será la venganza lo único que pueda sanar su corazón roto?

"Você nunca me quis", a voz de Eva tremia, mas seu olhar era firme enquanto ela encarava Maxmillan. "Você estava muito cego pelo seu amor por Sara para ver a verdade." Maximilian cerrou os punhos, sua mandíbula tensa. "Você acha que eu não me arrependo? A cada momento, Eva. Cada momento que passei te machucando.." "Me machucando?" ela o interrompeu, seus olhos cheios de raiva. "Você me arruinou, Max. Você deixou minha irmã e madrasta me destruírem, e quando eu mais precisei de você, você me deu as costas, você me fez passar pelo inferno." O peito dele apertou. "Eu estava errado. Eu sei disso agora, mas..." "Mas é tarde demais", ela respondeu bruscamente. "Eu não sou mais aquela garota indefesa que você deixou para trás. Eu voltei para pegar o que é meu." A voz de Max suavizou, quase implorando. "E se eu for parte do que é seu?" Os lábios de Eva se curvaram em um sorriso amargo. "Talvez. Ou talvez eu vá destruir você da mesma forma que você me destruiu." ******* Forçada a um casamento sem amor para salvar os negócios de sua família, Eva suporta a crueldade de seu marido, Maximilian, que acredita que ela manipulou seu avô a escolhê-la como noiva. Cego pelo seu amor pela irmã dela, Maximilian fez Eva passar pelo inferno. Eva é incriminada por uma tragédia e mandada para a prisão, ela é resgatada por uma figura poderosa e influente que ela nunca soube que existia. Seis anos depois, Eva retorna. Não mais a mulher quebrada e indefesa que ela já foi, Ela é agora uma força a ser reconhecida. Ela está de volta para buscar vingança contra todos aqueles que fizeram de sua vida um inferno. Agora, Maximilian se arrepende de seus erros e não está pronto para deixá-la ir. Eva escolherá o amor ou a vingança será a única coisa que poderá curar seu coração partido?

"Tu ne m'as jamais voulue," la voix d'Eva tremblait, mais son regard était ferme alors qu'elle fixait Maxmillan. "Tu étais trop aveuglé par ton amour pour Sara pour voir la vérité." Maximilian serra les poings, la mâchoire crispée. "Tu penses que je ne le regrette pas ? Chaque instant, Eva. Chaque instant où je t'ai fait souffrir.." "Me faire souffrir ?" coupa-t-elle, ses yeux remplis de colère. "Tu m'as détruite, Max. Tu as laissé ma sœur et ma belle-mère me détruire, et quand j'avais le plus besoin de toi, tu m'as tourné le dos, tu m'as fait traverser l'enfer." Sa poitrine se serra. "J'avais tort. Je le sais maintenant, mais..." "Mais c'est trop tard," lança-t-elle. "Je ne suis plus la fille sans défense que tu as laissée derrière toi. Je suis revenue pour récupérer ce qui m'appartient." La voix de Max s'adoucit, presque suppliante. "Et si je fais partie de ce qui t'appartient ?" Les lèvres d'Eva se courbèrent en un sourire amer. "Peut-être. Ou peut-être que je te détruirai comme tu m'as détruite." ******* Forcée dans un mariage sans amour pour sauver l'entreprise de sa famille, Eva endure la cruauté de son mari, Maximilian, qui croit qu'elle a manipulé son grand-père pour qu'il la choisisse comme épouse. Aveuglé par son amour pour la sœur d'Eva, Maximilian lui a fait vivre l'enfer. Eva est accusée à tort d'une tragédie et envoyée en prison, elle est secourue par une figure puissante et influente dont elle ignorait l'existence. Six ans plus tard, Eva revient. N'étant plus la femme brisée et impuissante qu'elle était autrefois, elle est maintenant une force avec laquelle il faut compter. Elle est de retour pour se venger de tous ceux qui ont fait de sa vie un enfer. Maintenant, Maximilian regrette ses erreurs et n'est pas prêt à la laisser partir. Eva choisira-t-elle l'amour ou la vengeance sera-t-elle la seule chose qui puisse guérir son cœur brisé ?

"Beni asla istemedin," Eva'nın sesi titredi, ancak bakışları Maxmillan'a bakarken sabitti. "Sara'ya olan aşkınla gerçeği göremeyecek kadar kördün." Maximilian yumruklarını sıktı, çenesi gergin. "Pişman olmadığımı mı sanıyorsun? Her an, Eva. Sana zarar verdiğim her an.." "Bana zarar vermek mi?" diye sözünü kesti, gözleri öfkeyle doluydu. "Beni mahvettin, Max. Kız kardeşimin ve üvey annemin beni yok etmesine izin verdin ve sana en çok ihtiyacım olduğunda, bana sırtını döndün, beni cehenneme sürükledin." Göğsü sıkıştı. "Yanılmışım. Şimdi bunu biliyorum, ama..." "Ama artık çok geç," diye çıkıştı. "Artık arkanda bıraktığın çaresiz kız değilim. Bana ait olanı almak için geri döndüm." Max'ın sesi yumuşadı, neredeyse yalvarıyordu. "Ya ben de sana ait olanın bir parçasıysam?" Eva'nın dudakları acı bir gülümsemeye büründü. "Belki. Ya da belki de beni mahvettiğin gibi seni mahvedeceğim." ******* Ailesinin işletmesini kurtarmak için sevgisiz bir evliliğe zorlanan Eva, kocası Maximilian'ın ona karşı acımasızlığına katlanmak zorunda kalır. Maximilian, dedesini kendisini gelin olarak seçmeye manipüle ettiğine inanmaktadır. Kız kardeşine olan aşkıyla körleşmiş olan Maximilian, Eva'yı cehenneme sürükledi. Eva bir trajedinin sorumlusu olarak gösterilir ve hapse atılır, daha önce varlığından haberdar olmadığı güçlü ve etkili bir figür tarafından kurtarılır. Altı yıl sonra Eva geri döner. Artık eskiden olduğu kırık ve çaresiz kadın değildir. Şimdi hesaplaşılması gereken bir güçtür. Hayatını cehenneme çevirenlerin hepsinden intikam almak için geri dönmüştür. Şimdi, Maximilian hatalarından pişmandır ve onu bırakmaya hazır değildir. Eva aşkı mı seçecek yoksa intikam mı kırık kalbini iyileştirebilecek tek şey olacak?

"Kau tidak pernah menginginkanku," suara Eva bergetar, tapi tatapannya mantap saat ia menatap tajam Maxmillan. "Kau terlalu dibutakan oleh cintamu pada Sara untuk melihat kebenaran." Maximilian mengepalkan tinjunya, rahangnya kencang. "Kau pikir aku tidak menyesalinya? Setiap saat, Eva. Setiap saat yang kuhabiskan untuk menyakitimu.." "Menyakitiku?" ia memotong, matanya dipenuhi amarah. "Kau menghancurkanku, Max. Kau membiarkan saudari dan ibu tiriku menghancurkanku, dan ketika aku paling membutuhkanmu, kau membelakangiku, kau membuatku melewati neraka." Dadanya menegang. "Aku salah. Aku tahu itu sekarang, tapi..." "Tapi sudah terlambat," ia menimpali. "Aku bukan gadis tak berdaya yang kau tinggalkan. Aku kembali untuk mengambil apa yang menjadi milikku." Suara Max melembut, hampir memohon. "Dan bagaimana jika aku adalah bagian dari milikmu?" Bibir Eva melengkung menjadi senyum pahit. "Mungkin. Atau mungkin aku akan menghancurkanmu seperti kau menghancurkanku." ******* Dipaksa ke dalam pernikahan tanpa cinta untuk menyelamatkan bisnis keluarganya, Eva menanggung kekejaman dari suaminya, Maximilian, yang percaya bahwa dia memanipulasi kakeknya untuk memilihnya sebagai pengantin. Dibutakan oleh cintanya pada saudari Eva, Maximilian membuat Eva melewati neraka. Eva dijebak untuk sebuah tragedi dan dikirim ke penjara, dia diselamatkan oleh sosok yang berpengaruh dan berkuasa yang tidak pernah ia ketahui keberadaannya. Enam tahun kemudian, Eva kembali. Tidak lagi menjadi wanita yang hancur dan tak berdaya seperti dulu, Dia sekarang adalah kekuatan yang harus diperhitungkan. Dia kembali untuk mencari balas dendam pada semua orang yang telah membuat hidupnya sengsara. Sekarang, Maximilian menyesali kesalahannya dan tidak siap untuk melepaskannya. Akankah Eva memilih cinta atau akankah balas dendam menjadi satu-satunya hal yang bisa menyembuhkan hatinya yang hancur?

Nascent Soul True Monarch Song Wan Ning, only after a tragic death did she realize she was just a villainous side character! Her childhood sweetheart of a hundred years forced her into the demonic path for the sake of the female lead, a disciple who "transmigrated" from another world. Her doted-upon eldest disciple, the "male lead," personally ground her bones to dust. In the end, they even joined forces to slaughter her entire family. Given a second chance, the Three Lives Mirror tells her that if she wants to live, she must redeem herself and earn the favor of the male and female leads. Song Wan Ning smiled gently. Redeem myself? Since when does a villainous side character need redemption? A villainous side character who knows the plot—how is that any different from a wolf entering a flock of sheep? * The Medicine King Sect's legacy is only for the female lead and not for her? Song Wan Ning directly shattered the legacy's divine sense until its soul dissipated, and then she scattered the ashes of the thousand-plus spirit tablets in the Medicine King Sect! The divine beast acknowledges the male lead as its master but not her? Song Wan Ning directly skinned the divine beast and pulled its tendons, stripping away its bloodline! Without its divine bloodline, what's a divine beast but a piece of crap! The sect favors the childhood sweetheart and the male and female leads? Song Wan Ning gave a soul-snatching smile. Then she'll just have the entire sect erased from the Seven Major Sects and Four Great Clans! Everyone says she's gone mad. What's so bad about being mad? You see, when she goes mad, don't the others behave themselves?
