Edward almost smashed his phone on the wall out of anger, he took a deep breath to calm himself down, he believed that whoever sent this message wanted him to blow a fuse at the moment, he would not give them the satisfaction of seeing him behave like that, he would first clarify the situation before anything else, he could always flare up at a later moment.
He had learned his lessons in life, what if after he blew a fuse and then it turns out that the video and images were edited, he would then be an absolute idiot, and the trust that there was between him and Bella would be broken and nothing could repair a broken trust, that was why he took a deep breath.
But that did not stop him from seeing double and feeling his forehead throbbing, he sat down on the edge of the sofa that he usually slept on in the room, he then brought his phone closer to his eyes to get a closer look, he was looking for traces that it was editing, but no matter from which angle he looked at the video or images, they looked absolutely real.
In the pictures even though one could not see the people in it since it was static, one could still see two people kissing, one male and one female.
The video was another matter entirely, it was a man and a woman French kissing on the bed, before they could go any further the video was ended, but Edward knew who the two people in the video were.
They were his wife Bella and Charles Stark, a man who had been pursuing his wife for the longest time, Edward was boiling with rage at the moment.
How could he of all people be cuckolded? It was impossible!!! If this was true, he would never forgive Bella and Charles for what they did.
While he was thinking of ways to verify the authenticity of the video and pictures, the door of the bedroom was opened and Bella walked into the room.
Edward’s attention was on his phone, so he had no idea when the bedroom door was opened, nor did he know that Bella had come into the room, he was busy looking at his phone.
Bella tiptoed and came closer, She wanted to give him a kiss on the cheek to surprise him, but when she saw what was on his phone screen she was shocked, She reflexively shouted “Where did you get that from?” It was at that moment that Edward came back to his senses.
Seeing the look of shock on Bella’s face, Edward's hopeful heart sank to the bottom of the abyss, he said in a cold voice “I should be the one asking you that”
Bella wanted to swear on her life that it was all fake, but when she remembered what her Grandma had told her before, she immediately held back the words that came to the tip of her tongue.
She initially wanted to let them spend one last time together before breaking the news to him, at least then he would not miss her too badly.
Seeing as Bella kept quiet the last trace of hope that Edward had no idea he had was blown out like a candle in the wind, he had never raised his voice before at Bella throughout their marriage in the last two years but at this moment he did that, he shouted “ANSWER ME!!!”

Bella’s body trembled reflexively, but then she remembered the homework that she had at hand, She sneered and said “What you are seeing is what it is, Trash like you does not deserve to be with a woman like me”
Edward gave a self-deprecating loud laugh, he then said with red eyes and a single tear dropping down from his eye “Just what I deserve, did I think I would ever go scot-free from all the things I had done before? It is just like Alexander said: Once a player, just continue being a player, or else when you get played you will forever drown in sorrows” he was mumbling to himself so Bella could not hear what he said if not for the first part of what he deserved.
Edward then turned to look at Bella with a wide smile, Bella was scared out of her wits when she saw the look on his face, she wished that he would flare up at her at the moment, or even curse, it would be better than the smile that he was giving her at the moment, she felt like she had never met this man that she had lived within the same bedroom for two years at this exact moment or that this was their first meeting.
Edward continued with a plastered smile on his face “I see that you want to get a divorce from me, to tell you the truth, had you told me you wanted to get a divorce I would have signed it immediately, you do not have to go through this roundabout way to get it”
Bella sneered and said “Well you are the one that never got a hint, I refused to share the same bed with you for two years and you are realizing it just now, if a woman loves you she would not sleep on separate----” before Bella could finish what she was saying, Edward raised his hand to stop her from talking.
He said with his mouth quivering a little “I totally get it, there is no need to keep stabbing me with words. Is there?” Bella sneered and said “I am just telling you the truth, that’s all, take it or leave it” She then hissed and said “But please do tell me even in your dreams do we make a good match, even in your dreams I should be above your league, couldn’t you just take hints and know where you stand, you just have to make others appear to be the bad guy, once you know someone is above your league the most reasonable thing to do is to call off the relationship” Bella kept on rambling on and on, so that Edward would not see how uneasy and heartbroken she was, she wanted to hug him and tell him that she was being forced to do this, but when she remembered her Grandma and how she said she would torture Edward, even her soul shook a little.
Edward kept on nodding his head subconsciously like he was listening to a piece of advice seriously, he wished that Bella would open her mouth and say sorry even by mistake, he would forgive the fact that she had cheated on him and start a fresh, but it would only remain a dream of his.
After Bella caught her breath, she wanted to continue giving lectures, when Edward abruptly said with zero emotions in his voice “Just tell me when you want to sign the divorce papers and I will do it” he then looked at his watch and said with a voice that was akin to a devil’s “As of this moment, Edward and Elizabeth have nothing to do with one another, I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors”
After he was done talking, he made his way toward the door, Bella immediately shouted “Wait!!!” Edward stopped in his tracks, he had his hopes up, he thought that Bella wanted to apologize to him when he heard her saying “What about your Clothes, You are not thinking of leaving them behind right”
Bella originally wanted to ask him to wait till the morning before he left, since it was dangerous to go out at night, and he might get mugged, She then remembered she was supposed to be heartless, if not he would forgive her and then it would be nearly impossible for her to get separated from him and then her Grandma would take matters into her hands, she was certain that Edward would live a life that was worse than death at that time, that was why she asked him that.
Edward guffawed and said “Don’t forget that everything here was bought with your money, so you might as well give it to your side guy” he then opened the door and walked out
