The Birth Of Eve Read Online Free PDF

friendly builder arrived at one o’clock,
he had just finished at another site so could start as soon as tomorrow. Eve
took him out to the garage feeling calm with the six foot burly man by her
side. She removed the last box to get it out of his way; Tony was staring at
the bottom end of the garage.
    “See that wall at the end?” Eve nodded wondering where this
was leading
    “That wall is short of the length, it has been added in the
last ten years perhaps. It needs coming down, I need to know what’s behind it,
and you are losing three feet of floor space because of it.” Tony tapped his
large spirit level against it “Hear that? It’s hollow behind do you mind if I
get my lump hammer and get rid of it? I can’t measure up or order new concrete
for the floor until I see its entirety.” Eve gave him permission and left him
to it; making him a coffee before taking the last box inside to clear.
     
     
     
     

Chapter 4
     
     
    Christopher Novak was sitting in the cutting room,
painstakingly analysing every scene of his movie “Lady in Waiting.” Mia Shannon
the leading lady was on course for an Oscar nomination from what he had seen so
far. The painstaking task of cutting and skimming his movies always troubled
him, but as a famous movie maker once said “You have to trim off some meat to
create the perfect fillet”
    Brian his co-producer was sitting beside him, they had
just watched the knight’s banquet scene; as with all other scenes she had
appeared in one girl stood out “Eve.” Brian likened her to Liz Taylor; he was
right she glowed on screen. She had a vulnerability and innocence that made her
almost absorb your attention. She drew everyone to her, males watched her
unnoticed especially his protégé Nathan, he hardly took his eyes off her, the
chemistry was obvious. One thing was certain she would be a star, Christopher
wanted to make it happen but with care; she needed a profile and a gradual
increase in her roles. The last thing a raw talent like Eve needed was to be
thrust into fame too early. Christopher had a plan and calling her agent was
step one.
     
    Eve was washing up in the kitchen, she could hear Tony
bashing away outside. He had been hammering for twenty minutes before it finally
went silent. Eve was staring out of the window when she felt an overwhelming
urge to vomit; she bent over holding her knees as she struggled to fight off
the rising bile in her throat, then as suddenly as it hit her it had gone. She
stood upright with a feeling of relief and emotion that brought tears to her
eyes.
    “What the hell was that?” She watched as Tony stumbled from
the garage looking ashen, he pulled his phone from his pants and was making a
call. Eve watched as he paced the garden, every now and then bending forwards
to rest his hands on his knees. He looked up and caught her staring, she
swallowed hard, something was very wrong. Walking towards the house Eve met him
just outside the back doors of the conservatory.
    “What is it? Something is wrong isn’t it?” He was struggling
to find words and was looking at her in a strange way
    “How long have you lived in this house?” Eve couldn’t
understand why all of a sudden she felt guilty of something
    “We Just moved in last weekend, my father passed away and I
inherited this place” her answer seemed to pacify Tony
    “There is a woman’s body behind that wall, looks like she
was bricked in and left there. I have phoned the cops they are on their way”
Eve stumbled backwards; Tony grabbed her arm to steady her.
    “Woman’s body?” but Eve knew exactly who it was; the
messages, the spooky goings on and the dreams all indicated it had to be her
mother. Not normally a believer in all that stuff Eve found herself wondering
if her mother had been trying to contact her to help her find peace. Being
bricked into a tiny space didn’t lend itself to a peaceful death. The question
was how had she died and who had put her there? She shouldn’t
