Fredrick smiled. Things were beginning to look up. It looked as if he was finally going to get to spill some blood. He’d have preferred for Eve to kill Michael, if only to harden her so she’d be able to do a more efficient job in the months to come, but he didn’t mind taking Michael out and letting her watch. The end result would be the same. Then he could let her loose on her best friend. With all the jealousy and suspicion riding her, Eve would make quick work of ridding the world of that goody-goody and the purity of her soul would be his.

Fredrick’s smiled turned cruel once again when he saw the look on Eve’s face as she stopped walking and stared at the man that she loved.

Eve stopped walking in shock. She couldn’t believe it! It seemed that Michael had chosen Sarah over her! How was that even possible?!? Eve never lost. Never! She looked at Fredrick where he was squaring off with the man she’d thought had loved her and saw the cruel look on his face. It was only then that Eve realized what her evil companion had been planning all along. He’d been banking on her impatience to have Michael with her no matter the cost. He’d never planned on letting Eve have Michael. Fredrick had only wanted Sarah because of how pure her soul was. Michael was going to become a casualty of a war he had no business being a part of and it was all Eve’s fault!
