eva nods slowly at his reply, her gaze heavy with something that can’t be easily read. sensing the flicker of hurt in his eyes, her expression softens and she feels something close to guilt. how ironic it is of her to feel that about upsetting him before the cheater does about his infidelity, though, she quietly thinks to herself. the idea of him with someone else makes something acidic rise in her stomach, but she makes no comment on it — it’s not like she has any right to do so. “… should i stop swinging by, then?” she asks, her voice kept nonchalant though she’s uncertain how much longer she can keep up with her act. the act that none of this truly matters and it’s all just a means to an end. “do you trust the people in your office to keep a secret?” the question comes as an afterthought, knowing how quickly rumours spread, though perhaps the ones working for him would be deterred by the possibility of having to face his wrath. when he asks her for a drink, she quickly agrees — now it feels more like the lighthearted conversations that she’s accustomed to having with him. “a tequila would be great, thanks.”

LOCATION: Steelbriar Mall FOR: Jovi DiCamillo ( @sparepcrts )

"So, are you coming to our gig tomorrow?" Eva asked, slurping on what remained of her ice coffee as they strolled around the mall together. She always liked hanging out with Jovi. She hadn't thought she could meet anyone more southern than her own extended family until the ballerina proved her wrong. "We're probably all gonna hang out in the secret bar afterwards. I guess your boyfriend can come too. Unless you're currently off at the moment?" She crossed her fingers hopefully, although by now it was mostly a joke. Jovi's on-again off-again boyfriend was... Well, he was fine.

"Hey. Sorry to call so late, I just wanted to say thanks again for today. I really appreciated the guidance you gave me."

Breathe. 1, 2, 3... Her internal monologue almost drowned amongst the buzz of the coffee shop. Eva's eyes had fallen shut in an attempt to re-align her mind and focus on just herself, her half-finished latte, and the laptop that currently sat open on the little table in front of her. Business had been a little thin as of late, and she was trying to talk herself into replying yes to an email request from the morgue. Their usual makeup artist was on vacation, and her coverage was out sick. They needed help with two bodies that should be prepared for burial soon, but Eva had never worked on someone... not alive.

Her eyes opened back up when she managed to slow her racing heart, now staring at quite the long line forming at the order counter. Damn, just as she was about to get up and get another coffee. She looked back at the email before she shut her laptop and shoved it into her bag. Her mug was picked up before she took her place in line, right behind a very tall, very... intimidating looking man.

Xavier was getting sick of him. As a young boy - so impressionable and naive - Ignacio Cardenas was practically God. Every step was worshipped, every decision was supported - everything the older man did was basically studied. Ignacio could do nothing wrong. Now? Xavier couldn't stop the images of his father's nearly headless frame draining blood on top of his desk - done by Xavier's hand. That was how much he hated his father.

Originally the plan was to wait for Ignacio to keel over - eventually passing so Xavier could take his rightful spot on the throne … it seemed the older man planned to live forever, keeping the crown. Though his reign was timeless, he wasn't. And Xavier would see to prove that.

Arriving at the spot Eva had instructed, Xavier swung a leg over his bike and removed his helmet. "Ahora, si. I'm here." The two realized the shared hate for their own fathers and clicked instantaneously. They'd exchange gruesome fantasies on how they'd get rid of their fathers, stepping into the leader role once the deed was done. But they were just stories … until …

"Are we safe here?" Xavier's eyes scanned their surroundings finding no other soul. She had suggested meeting at an abandoned warehouse. He assumed it was one of her father's properties where he'd conduct … gory business.

EXISTE NO AMOR - uma fatalidade que não se encontra em qualquer outra emoção, ou relação. laços de amor são os únicos com poder de destruir o que antes era belo, e intocado. especialmente - quando este amor não é reciproco. ou podia ser, de uma forma amigável que dava uma luz quase adorável para algo que colocava chamas no coração de alguém, algo que em outra percepção ; acabaria com tudo.

❛ o que vai querer comprar ? ❜ perguntou distraído, passando os olhos nas várias poções a disposição - péssima ideia. ❛ eu não recomendaria começar com uma dessas. ❜ apontou para os frascos de várias cores, com funções espertamente ambíguas.

" i'm going to need you to stay still. " he softly instructed. ocean hues focusing on the final gash that decorated his wife's arm. his jaw was tightened from the chaotic mixture of frustration and guilt, the first job was supposed to only be a peak of his work. this one was botched. she got taken and on top of it— hurt. he was livid, but only the mansion got to feel the entirety wrath. if they weren't his wife, their expiration date was met by his hand. he'll happily deal with the consequences later. gently, he tapped the warm wet cloth over the final wound to clean it before adding any ointments or necessary items to keep her from receiving an infection. " . . . those fucking bellends. " he swore with a sharp rasp. " if i can bring them to life and kill them all over again, i'll do it. " he murmured, placing a quick but sweet kiss against her shoulder, something to sooth them both. before making sure the bandage is on securely, jupe took a step back to search for any marks he might have missed. " how are your ribs? are you hurt anywhere else? " finally, he brought his gaze to meet her own. pools of blue that were once blurred with murderous rage now cleared with calmness.

how the hell did he manage to get here.. bloodied, bruised, and barely clinging to consciousness? as hard as dro tries, he can't recall the last time he had a deal go this sideways, but what was meant to end in a great deal ended with a fist fight and whatever sure is a graze mark from a bullet along his hairline. he could have gone anywhere really. the companies on call doctor would have been the best option, but he didn't feel as safe as he did leaning against the wall outside of eva's house.

sure, he'd have a lot of explaining to do, and plenty more to hear. it's worth it to know he's in the care of someone who actually gives a damn about him. so he masters up the strength to lay a weak, rhythmic knock to the front door.

everything about the final premiere was perfect. this might have been trey’s 50th time seeing the film, but it felt different with eva there—a witness to his actual life’s story. and to go back to the house he rented for the weekend, with her in tow, made it all the more incredible. the next morning, after his workout and their breakfast together, trey pulled eva outside for a walk along the private beach behind the house. “i don’t know if i’ve said it enough,” trey trailed off, squeezing her palm to grab her attention, “but i’m really glad you came with me…i don’t think i knew how much i wanted you there until you was. thank you.” he brought their intertwined knuckles to his lips. “legally, i don’t even think i’m allowed to say this but…you know nicki was you, right?” he said, referring to the film’s character — the smart yet naive teen best friend to the charming hoodlum, kev.

feeling  exposed,  eva  blinks  when  she  stumbles  upon  yongguk  in  the  corridor,  not  expecting  him  to  be  here  at  her  most  fragile  moment.  "...  how�� much  did  you  hear?"  she  asks,  knowing  that  yongguk  must  have  overheard  her  fight  with  her  boyfriend  before  he  stormed  out.  hiding  her  face  for  a  moment,  she  wipes  away  her  tears  before  a  bitter  laugh  escapes  from  her  own  misfortune.  "god,  this  is  so  embarrassing."  her  shoulders  slump  in  defeat,  the  weight  of  her  distress  evident. / @gcholdtrops

LOCATION: Lio's Place FOR: Lio Harker ( @cyberneticatoms )

Before heading over, Eva had snagged a bottle of wine from the storage room at the Treasure Chest. She had also changed her outfit five times before settling on a cute but casual dress. Not that she actually thought that her clothes would change the outcome of the conversation, but since it was one of the few things that she could control in this situation, she'd latched onto it. Maybe she was more like Dahlia than she thought. "You know, don't you?" she asked, giving Lio a tentative look. "About my history with Ruby. I wanted to tell you. I was gonna tell you, I really was, but... You were so excited to introduce me to your friends and I just... I didn't want to ruin that."

Cont. from @gethxme || Eva and Elena (x)

"Hey, who said anything about making me? I offered, so technically that puts the onus of blame for any sore back tomorrow on me entirely." Eva gave a small smile, however she realised that this was unlikely to be a battle she would win. "Only if you're sure. I mean, I promise I don't kick in my sleep or anything."

[prerodinu]

"Having fun?" She smiles, holding a book to her chest before she leans against the doorway. She had been distracted most of the day working on restoring some books. She didn't mean to leave the other for so long but time did get away from her.
