No way Eve would give up on Villanelle that easy after all they've gone through. This is one of the only times we've seen villanelle in such a vulnerable state, pierced with glass and embarrassed by Niko. I absolutely adore the perspective, thanks Luke ❤️

Oh Villanelle, I know you're so hurt inside. To see Niko there, to have Eve remain there and not leave with you...your heart must be breaking.

This chapter make me laugh, gasp, hold my breath, get angry and feel heartache.

Well done, Luke Jennings!

The important point is that she HAS a heart. And a big and vulnerable one.

Villanelle saying oh hey ..... to Niko & the way the conversation went on 🤣. Not gonna lie my heart broke for her in this chapter , seeing her vulnerable side! Especially when we all know what she is very much capable of doing . This story is mind blowing, I absolutely love it ! Can tell we will be seeing many emotions highs & lows . Eve is fearful of Villanelle being killed , when she said she has to make things work with Niko! Luke whatever you have in store on this adventure I’m down for it! You continue to surprise us all the time 💯🔥🎢❤️ Thank you Luke the mastermind your a genius 👏👏👏. Very much looking forward to the next chapter

Okay, please someone get rid of Niko and have that bloke piss off forever! Can't stand him! Someone needs to take him out! He thinks he owns Eve. Eve belongs with Villanelle and no one else. Villanelle will risk her life to get Eve back. She truly loves Eve and Eve loves her in the same way. Eve and Villanelle have been through so much together and can never give up on being with each other. Villanelle to the rescue! They deserve a future together forever! Please Luke. Don't let us down!

As Villanelle said about Niko in the TV show: "He is too normal for you." We all cannot stand him, but objectively he is just some utterly normal guy confronted with situations he simply cannot wrap his mind around. And as readers we see this ordinary guy contrasted with and ground up between these two glorious ethereal women. It's also part of the story: whoever gets in Villanelle's way dies. Whoever gets in between V and E eventually is annihilated. It's a rule!

J'aime beaucoup, le suspens est total. Pour moi c'est un peu difficile car la traduction automatique est très mauvaise, mais en lisant plusieures fois ça va. Encore merci Luke pour ce travail!

Loved how Niko's presence us a surefire comedic moment!

Also loved: Villanelle's complete disregard for her wellbeing, and her utter focus on Eve. And Eve's tenderness and care for Villanelle.

Sad to see that our endgame couple will have to be apart for now (they are still endgame right? RIGHT??) But at least there will be a well-deserved, explosive comeuppance to look forward to! (well, maybe not explosive. A slight, hopefully non-spoilery reference to a past assassination that left things in... pieces. Ahem.)

They can’t be separated again! Someone’s gotta get rid of Niko already.

I loved seeing this vunerable side of Villanelle! I’m sure at first she will feel very upset but she doesn’t realize Eve is terrified to lose her. I can’t wait to see how they come back together on this. I’m sure Villanalle will be out with a vengence now that she’s been vunerable to someone and they took her away

Fabulous mix of cool, sexy love! Nico has no chance of survival: Eve loves Villanelle. Great writing - can't wait for the next piece. Therapy for my dark side 😎 lol

Hey, I love the developments so far and the chapters are exciting and fun to read :-) I don't think Eve wants to leave V, but she was tricked into this. I love to read V's inner perspective and that we see her vulnerable side a bit more.
