Chapter 30: Savoring the little victory

"Well, hello there," greeted Eve, wearing a superior and ugly smile. As usual, she was dressed in a white dress, which accentuated her innocent face but only Inez knew that behind that mask of innocence was a hideous face. "I was just waiting for you when I saw this coffee can lying inside. I hope that you don’t mind that I took one?"

The fact that she knew that this coffee was sold in the town where humans lived and was not found anywhere around their territory made it clear what Eve was trying to do but Inez would be a fool to give her the reaction that she wanted.

"You can have it." It would be perfect if she just choked on that liquid, thought Inez.

Evelyn delicately swept her finger over the marks that Dominic left on her skin and Inez wouldn’t lie. Even though she had given up on Dominic, the sight of these marks made her chest ache as if sharp shards were lodged inside of her.

"Aren’t they pretty?" Evelyn questioned. As she brushed a lock of hair and showed off more marks on her collarbones to Inez. "Dominic was pretty wild last night."

Inez didn’t even bat an eye as she pointed to the door of her car and stated, "They are but did all the mirrors in your house break? Is that why you are appreciating these marks in front of my car?"

Her smile faltered as her cheeks turned almost as red as the marks on her skin. "It must be hard to lose your mate to someone else, right? Embarrassing too. If I were you, I would rather chuck myself off the cliff than to stand in front of the woman who was claimed by your mate when you were rejected."

She tucked a fluttering lock behind her ear and continued, "My words might sound rude but I am being honest. Your own mate and pack mates don’t trust you, Inez... a loser like you —do you really think that you deserve to live?"

"I don’t know if you are just that shameless but if I were you, I would have died of hurt and shame."

Who said that she was not dying? Inez was dying every day. The lack of trust of her pack mates, the loss of her friends whom she trusted with her life—everything burnt like a motherfucker. But she was not going to show it to this woman.

Inez would rather die than let Evelyn know how defeated she felt at the moment.

She felt a surge of annoyance. Why couldn’t this woman leave her alone? Didn’t she already get what she wanted? She had taken Dominic, Tao, Luca and Blake. The pack was also respectful towards her because she was protected by the top dogs. There was nothing left for Evelyn to take from her except her life. But Inez was dead sure that Evelyn didn’t want her life.

At least not yet.

This woman was too perverse for that.

"And if I were you, I would try to keep my nose out of other people’s business unless you want that pretty nose broken."

"You are jealous. Why don’t you admit it?" She asked with her arms crossed in front.

It only made Inez laugh. "Why would I be jealous of someone like you?"

"You are. You won’t admit it, but you are jealous of Dominic’s love for me and the boys’ care."

"This is getting real old, Evelyn." Inez shook her head. Too tired to quibble with the neurotic woman.

"You are; I know you are jealous of me."

"Why? Because you are one manipulative bitch? Or the fact that you are quite quirky when stealing others’ credit and work? The fact that you are delusional? The little demons under your bed who tell you that the world revolves around you?" Done with the quarrel, she pointed to her left and said, "You need to go."

"You can’t dismiss me yet!"

"Why?" Inez asked with a raised eyebrow.

Evelyn straightened up and haughtily stretched out her hand. "You haven’t given me the report from yesterday. I hope you are done with the designs?"

"Ah," Inez smiled. She was kind of glad that Evelyn had asked about the designs. However, instead of dropping the bomb straightaway, Inez smiled charmingly. She said to Evelyn, "Can you step aside?"

"You cannot tell me what to do," Evelyn snorted with a roll of her eyes, but that only made Inez scoff.

"Well, then the two of us can stand here and discuss the weather. Because if you don’t step aside, I cannot hand you the documents that you want."

The skank shot a look of pure suspicion in Inez’s direction but after a little pondering, she stepped aside. Inez knew that she would; Evelyn’s entire persona of being a genius event planner and an interior decorator depended on Inez. If she didn’t get her hands on the designs, it would mean losing her position as a genius.

Because the boys wanted to take literally everything from her, they had even taken her wisdom and creativity. Though they couldn’t take it literally, their actions of making Evelyn’s shadow hurt nonetheless.

And Evelyn was rather clear on her own skills.

Evelyn might be dumb, but she was not that dumb.

Inez stepped towards her truck and climbed inside. Only when she had locked the doors and made sure that this woman couldn’t cause her any more trouble did she raise her head and state, "Well, there are no documents, but thanks for stepping aside."

Heat rushed to Evelyn’s face as she fumed. "How dare you, Inez!? You know how important this project is, and you are still dragging your feet; just wait until I tell Dominic about your dereliction of duty. You will be fired."

"There is no point in him firing me because I have quit," Inez beamed at Evelyn’s expression. She had been dying to disclose her resignation to Evelyn, and now that she had done it, Inez had to admit that it felt jolly good.
