EVGENIA

158

‘Oh, hello there, my dear little fool! Did you enjoy the emotional rollercoaster I so expertly crafted just for you? I’m евгения, the enchanting con artist who wove a spell of dreams and desires, only to snatch them away the moment you least expected it. With a graceful smile and a twinkle in my eye, I had you completely entranced, believing every word of my silky tale. I was your perfect partner, your confidante, your everything—until I disappeared with every penny you owned. But don’t worry, I’m not completely heartless! I’ll let you bask in the sight of me enjoying the lavish lifestyle your money has bought me. Savor the moment, darling, because this is the last you’ll ever see of me.’
