HYBRID TIMBER 21

Eva was anxious, her hands were shaking and sweating with anxiety. She ran to the bathroom in her room when she entered the house and within minutes her mother appeared in the bathroom doorway.

- What a fright! I'm taking a shower, mom. Eva shouted, putting a hand to her chest. Then he turned on the shower.

Ruthie made a face as she looked at her.

"Where have you been all day?"

“I was with Susan. Because? She started rubbing soap on her body.

“Your fiance and I were worried. Today is your wedding day and you disappear like this?

“Oh, how beautiful. I am really touched that my beloved fiancé and dear mother care about me. he mocked.

'I don't like that tone in your voice, Eva!' Ruthie yelled.

“What tone?” I'm talking normally. Eva feigned confusion.

"Don't play dumb in front of your mother!" I sincerely hope you don't talk to Bruce like that. You cannot ruin your own marriage. You need to make this work! Ruthie slammed her palm down on the bathroom door and the young woman jumped in fright.

Anger surged through her.

"I want Bruce to be fucked!" I'm already tired of him and all that, including you!

He turned off the shower, grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his body, leaving the bathroom then, bumping into his mother at the door.

- What is it? What got into you? Ruthie was astonished.

Eva went to her cell phone on the dresser, opened her panties drawer and pretended to be looking for one, while with her back pressed to record an audio for Susan.

“What got into me? What got into you! Why don't you tell me about your encounters with the pastor in a hotel? She turned and saw her mother go pale.

- What you mean? Respect me! Ruthie raised her hand to hit Eva but Eva held it back.

- Do not you dare! For some stupid reason you faked an illness to manipulate me into marrying Bruce so you and your lover could cover something up for him! Maybe the fact that he likes men. Was this all a bloody plan, could Mrs. Does Ruby know about this?

- Shut up! You do not know anything! Ruthie yanked her hand away.

- So what is it?

— You signed a document and you need to comply with what is in it!

“I'll tear it up or some shit, but I won't get married. he shouted. "Bruce, shove that contract up your ass!"

Eva said to scare her mother and elicit a confession, she really wasn't going to get married, however down the aisle, she would, making everyone think that she was.

— Yes, he will! You can not do that. Ruthie exclaimed desperately.

- I can yes! You're the lover of a married man, who calls himself a pastor, you're not going to tell me what I can and can't do. While I was enduring that disgusting thing for you! I would marry him! I was unhappy, suffering so much that I didn't even notice the frame before.

"Eve!" Daughter…” Ruthie changed her voice, speaking softer.

- Daughter? You never loved me mom! He never treated me well and always talked about my appearance and me always seeking his approval and affection like an idiot! But from now on I won't be! I will end this circus.

"Eve!" You can not! her mother was panting.

"I can and I will!"

— Please don't, my daughter. - Eva rolled her eyes as her mother knelt on the floor, crying - I'll do what you want, but marry him! Please my princess.

- My princess. - Eva smiled in disgust - Why should I marry him? Tell me the truth and maybe I'll consider it.

Ruthie hesitated, but finally decided to reveal the truth.

“I'm not really sick. he murmured.

“How could you do that, mother? For the love of God! Eva already knew everything, but hearing it made her even more indignant.

- Listen to me.

- I'm listening!

— Teddy and I loved each other since we were children, our families didn't allow us to be together, for financial reasons. Then I met your father and he married Ruby. Your father died in combat when I didn't even know I was pregnant, which is why I never mentioned him to you.

"I want to know the reason for the frame!" Spare me your love story with the pastor.

— A year ago we went back and exchanged glances in church, I always loved him and he said he always loved me too.

Eva was disgusted and an overwhelming urge to vomit gathered in her throat.

— Summarize, please.

“We've been meeting at the hotel for several months now.

- How many?

- Ten months! He couldn't leave Ruby because of church, association, name and status. It would be a scandal and he would lose everything in the divorce with her, he would lose patronage from church members. So we had to find a way to be close to each other without having to meet in a hotel, where at any time we could be discovered.

As her mother spoke, Eva reached her own conclusions and anger consumed her body.

“I told him you were single, that we could try to get our kids together. He said the idea was great, until he went to talk to Bruce who would introduce a girl to him and he confessed to liking men.

"And why didn't they give up there?" Did they need to make my life hell?

- Teddy was revolted, that before the church society would be unforgivable. Then he threatened to disinherit his son if he did not marry a young woman chosen by him. Bruce after a lot of pressure from his father, accepted, with those requirements he requested from you.

“Was I just a major player in this bloody dirty game? I'm disgusted and hate you, Mom! And you know what? I broke that damn requirement! I am no longer a virgin and will never be submissive. So it means that being gay would be unforgivable, but cheating on your wife and having sex with a married man, right?

- You're not a virgin? What did you do? You are crazy? You broke the contract! Ruthie got even more desperate and got up from the floor where she was still kneeling.

— Yes, I did. Very well broken. — Eva wanted to drive her mother even more crazy — And do you want to know who she went with?

- Who?

“One of those Hybrids you so despise, but I don't despise him.

"Did you sleep with one of those animals?"

"He's not an animal!" He has animal DNA in his body. Don't talk about him like that! But yeah, I fucked him many times.

"Do you know what will be done to you if they find out?" Don't you remember Vivian? From Aurora? From Jeannie?

“The others I don't remember, poor girls. But I'm glad Vivian was rescued and her family prosecuted.

“You think the sect was just her family? Eve! You could be burned alive! You donkey!

"Nobody will know!" Stop insulting me!

“I'll tell everyone if you don't marry Bruce. Ruthie wiped away the fake tears.

Eva knew she shouldn't expect anything good from her mother, but that phrase still disappointed her, however she wouldn't let herself be intimidated, she would manipulate her, just as she had been all along.

- No, please. I don't want to be burned to death, Mom. Eve pretended to cry.

"Then do what was planned from the start!" Ruby and her assistant will be coming over in a little while to do your makeup and hair.

- OK. Promise you won't reveal my secret? Please Mom.

"I promise if you keep mine." And apologize for the way you referred to your mother.

- Right. I'm sorry. Now leave me alone please.

Ruthie just left the room and slammed the door.
