Birth of Epic Rivalry

After regaining her calm, Alina spoke with a tingle of inquisitiveness, "Can you tell me why you agree to share your man with other women? Aren't you afraid of discrimination?"

Eva's eyes narrowed ever so slightly before she replied, "I'm more afraid than you could ever imagine. But this is where trust comes into the picture. I trust him to do justice, and I don't think there would be any need for it at all." Her eyes went deadly cold, "Especially as long as I'm here." 

Alina could feel Eva's true intent from that bone chilly coldness swirling in those dark eyes and sighed ruefully, "I never thought my brother would find someone like you after I left, and I guess it was a blessing for him. You give him another reason to move forward, and I should be grateful for that, but truthfully, I'm not. 

"Nevertheless, it doesn't mean I don't approve of you as his first wife. I even admire you a little." Alina chuckled in self-mockery.
