A part of me.
Oh my… look at her, you idiot. How could you forget her?
They kept speaking, judging me, insulting me, answering for me, commanding me.
How pathetic. You’re a monster. You actually forgot the one who killed your mother.
Those voices screamed in my ears, leaving me panting as I stared at the woman before me—Sophie. “Yes, fucking slag,” I said as I looked at her.
Murderer. Traitor.
Sophie froze, trembling at my words. Disgust filled my stomach as I met her eyes.Bloody whore.
Something soft touched my cheek, pulling my focus to the woman beside me. My eyes fixed, unable to break the pull of her stare.You should feel guilty for her.
I swallowed.
It’s her. The one you love and cherish. You promised, Zioh. Yes, you did.
Theykept shouting.
WHAT A FUCKING FOOL.
I loved her so much…
I clamped my lips shut. My hands and gaze melted into hers as her soft hand stroked my cheek. I raised my hand toreturn the gesture. “I’m so sorry…” I murmured. Her beautiful smile widened as she kissed my palm.
Sophie stepped forward, and my body tensed. Her breath quickened. Her hand reached to touch—but I lunged.
My rough hand snatched and flung her arm away. I shoved her, and Sophia stumbled, slamming into the wall behind her. I barked, “Don’t you fucking dare to touch her!”
Sophie’s eyes widened. She stared at me, and I stared back, my eyes burned with anger.
I loathe you. Whore. Destroyer. Thief.
That's a pretty venomous face. It’s her fault, all of it, because of her.
My body stiffened, a harsh breath released from my lungs, each inhale laced with fury.
Strangle her, kill her just like she killed your mum. Take her breath, just like she took your mum’s, just like she took yours.
Just like she tookmine.
A soft hand gripped my shoulder, warm breath brushed my neck, and a low voice whispered in my ear. “She’s the one who killed Mama Nadine,”dark.The noises crawled inside me. “What did you see of Mama Nadine that night? Do you still remember?” My body shook.Blood.Mum, my mum…
My eyes burned as Sophia’s face came into clear view again.Because of you!“Then you know what you do, don’t you?”
She made your father obsessed and betrayed Mum. She used that beauty to stab your family, stab Mum!
Dark.
So… dark.
I lunged at Sophie, my hand closing around her neck. I slammed her into the wall. She trembled, her whole body shaking with panic and fear. Her tears streamed unchecked down her cheeks.How dare she cry!We were more destroyed by her!
Sophie’s trembling hands tried to push mine from her throat, sobs tearing from her. “Zi… Zi-Zioh, please.” Her sobs grew louder, and something inside me snapped. I wanted to muffle her, to stop her voice from ever reaching me again. “What’s wrong with you?”
You hate her.
