Reincarnated As the Enemy's Wife: Married the Rival, Bound by Revenge-Chapter 265: Did He Still Remember She Was His Girlfriend?
"The winner is Eva!"
Eva!
Vivian’s face was ashen.
Although she had just come to make a scene, she was still unhappy to have lost so badly.
Originally, this was meant to be Eva’s solo concert.
It was almost time for the concert to end.
However, Vivian’s appearance had not changed anything.
On the contrary, everyone saw what a strong pianist Eva was.
"Eva!"
"Eva!"
The audience excitedly cheered Eva’s name. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
...
Backstage.
After the concert ended, Eva sat alone in her dressing room.
Performing was hard work and she closed her eyes for a moment of rest. Crash!
Suddenly, the door of her dressing room crashed open.
The sound of urgent footsteps rang out as Vivian charged in with a dark expression.
It was obvious she wasn’t here for a friendly chat.
"Do you think you won?" Vivian asked provocatively.
Eva answered her quietly.
"Yes." Then she turned her focus back on learning her music.
Yes?
That was it?
The mental defenses Vivian had just built up immediately crumbled.
"Do you think that just because you’ve won you can look down on people?" Vivian’s voice went up an octave.
Eva remained silent and Vivian continued angrily, "So what if you perform well live? There is a vitality to music. Unless you can go down in history, no one will remember you, no matter how well you play, it’s all for nothing!"
"You can only make one group of people remember you for three minutes but I can make all the gamers online remember me their entire life."
Vivian’s voice trembled with excitement.
Eva’s head buzzed with a headache.
She opened her eyes slightly and glanced at Vivian.
"And so?"
"I’m pursuing my music and you can enjoy your internet fame. Why are you trying to use me to boost your popularity?"
"You-!" Vivian hadn’t expected Eva to see through her so easily and immediately felt the stab of her sarcasm.
"Using you? What a joke. Do you think I need you to boost my popularity?"
"Do you know how many fans I have? Do you know how much money I earn each year? Who do you think you are? Do you think you’re all elegant and superior? Can you even feed yourself?"
Vivian sneered as she finished speaking.
"So what if you play the piano well? Chopin is a hundred times better than you and he was still broke and in the end, he died of tuberculosis. Schubert also died young, at age 31. Each worse than the last."
Vivian continued on, her voice growing more and more anxious.
Seeing that Eva was ignoring her, Vivian rushed forward and grabbed her hands.
Eva immediately threw off her grasp.
"What are you doing?" Eva asked coldly.
"So what if you play better than me? Do you really think you beat me? I’m going to be married next year. Do you know how rich my fiancé is?"
"Ah, I almost forgot. You are still relying on your playing to repay your debts and to feed yourself, but I’m going to be a rich wife!"
"You can play in your little theatres for the rest of your life!"
Eva didn’t know who Vivian’s fiance was.
She had seen some gossip about her online and Vivian did seem to have a sugar daddy in the background. The gossip columns referred to him as "Mr. Monroe".
However, this was not something that concerned her. Furthermore, she found Vivian’s anger very amusing.
She shook off Vivian’s hand and saw how shaky they were - this was the aftermath of playing three intense pieces back to back!
"Trembling after just three pieces. You’re not worthy to play music."
"Hurry and get married."
With that, Eva packed her things and left.
Complete victory.
Eva hadn’t wanted things to be like this.
But Vivian had been too aggressive.
How dare she use marriage prospects and money to value music? Not only was this an insult to Eva, it was an insult to music! And all the great musicians!
Eva left the theatre.
It was already late at night.
With her music score and long black coat, the cold night air brushed coldly across the back of her neck.
Near the theatre, the last of the audience were leaving in pairs and groups.
Suddenly, for a moment, she was a little envious of those who could go home in pairs.
She unconsciously turned on her phone and checked the messages.
Still no news.
The blue light on her skin made it look particularly pale, to the point of being unhealthy.
Looking at the empty inbox, she felt a sudden disappointment.
It had been more than three days.
There was still no news about him.
He hadn’t even replied to her message asking if he was all right!
Her sense of disappointment turned to anger!
Did he remember that she was his girlfriend?
...
Eva’s heart continued to sink as she walked.
It was late and most of the audience had already left.
As she was passing by a side road, she heard the sound of a couple talking.
"Muah." The girl pressed a kiss into the boy’s cheek.
"I have to go back to school tomorrow. Honey, the performance tonight was incredible. Next time you will bring me to such a wonderful performance again, OK?"
"Haha..." the boy replied awkwardly, a little shy. "OK, but we won’t be able to watch a duel next time."
"Are you stupid?" The girl knocked against his head. "I know that..."
...
Eva walked by them and didn’t hear what they said next.
The cold air blew across her and made her shiver.
She wrapped her coat more tightly around her but still felt cold.
Inexplicably, she thought of that man again.
He had never taken her out before.
SCREEEEECH!
The screech of brakes suddenly rang out behind her.
Eva hurriedly moved aside but it was too late.
An electric car zoomed up behind her.
It was going so fast!
The car scratched her arm as it passed her.
Eva let out a shout and stumbled, falling into a flowerpot by the road.
Her phone chipped against the ground as she fell.
Clack.
Her phone rolled into the flowerpot.
Eva struggled to her feet and stepped into the flowerpot to search for her phone.
A woman’s voice came from the electric vehicle.
"Young lady, you need to watch where you are going, don’t look at your phone." The woman watched as Eva ran to the flowerpot. It didn’t seem like she wanted to take
any responsibility for what just happened.
The driver of the electric vehicle watched for a moment and when she saw that Eva wasn’t going to question her, she quickly started the car and drove away.
As she left, she said, "Look at you, walking on the road because you’re looking at your phone, girls these days..."
Eva picked up her phone and saw that there was a crack on one corner of the screen.
The screen was filled with flashing vertical green lines.
The screen was broken.
She poked at the screen several times and the phone glowed brighter. "..."
She wanted to curse.
"What was going on today? Could she be more unlucky?"
Eva returned to her senses and put her phone in her bag as she continued heading home.
...
By the time she got home, she was exhausted. Without even turning on the light, she headed right for her bedroom.
Halfway there, she began to feel dizzy.
Her face felt like it was burning.
Her forehead felt hot.
She figured she was probably running a fever.
When she sat down on the bed, she felt even more dizzy.
In a daze, Eva pulled out her phone.
She wanted to make a call but her phone was completely broken and useless.
In the end, Eva couldn’t fight the dizziness anymore and closed her eyes, drifting off into a half-sleep.
...
In her dream, it was a beautiful world.
It felt as if the person she was waiting for had finally arrived.
There was something icy and cold on her burning forehead.
After a while, she felt cold again and someone put a blanket over her. But she still
felt cold and seemed to find a heat source to snuggle into.
After snuggling into the "heat source", she fell into a deep sleep. She felt as if she was sleeping in a warm summer evening, she even gave it a squeeze of satisfaction.
In the dark, someone shifted.
"You’re sick. Don’t move."
"But it’s so comfortable, ah..."
Eva wasn’t fully conscious at this time. She only felt that the night was warm and filled with dancing fireflies.
Deep, warm, like a dream.
"..."
Nicholas frowned.
He had just returned to Hiltonan. More accurately, he had just escaped from a place that was completely cut off from the outside world.
During this time, he couldn’t use his phone and couldn’t return to Hiltonan.
He had come to her place as soon as he was free.
He hadn’t expected to find her in such a state upon his return. Her forehead had been burning when he touched it.
He ignored the aches and pains of his body to look after her. He hadn’t expected her to complain of the heat during the night and take off her clothes then complain of the cold and wrap herself around him.
And rubbed him all over too!
By the end, his face was a very uncomfortable shade of green.
He had never been made to feel so uncomfortable by a woman before!
"Eva, I’m warning you for the last time. Stop moving!"
"Hmph, you’re so annoying... just like that other guy!"
"Who?" Nicholas asked as he helped her cool down.
Did she have some other man on her mind? The atmosphere in the room immediately darkened.
"Bro..."
Ethan Brown?
His expression grew ugly.
As he thought about it, he pulled away the arms she had wrapped around him.
He didn’t like that his woman was thinking about someone else!
Eva seemed to sense something. She stretched out a hand to return the man’s hand to her waist!
"You’re not allowed to leave!"
"Tell me, who are you thinking about?"
"Brown... Nicholas Brown."
Hearing his name, Nicholas’ expression relaxed slightly.
"Is he annoying?"
"Yes... the most annoying."
"Why?"
"Because... he ignored me..."
...
The next day.
The morning light splashed across Eva’s face through a gap in the curtains.
Eva was woken by the gentle warmness on her face.
She touched her body.
Abruptly, she jerked awake.
A scream came from the room.
"Ah - "
