Back in the bedroom, Bella fell back on the sofa looking listless, She knew that she had broken Edward’s heart, but that was a necessary evil that she needed to do, she would rather he be heartbroken than for her Grandma to make his life a living hell.

Since the event of the night of what had happened between her and Edward, at first she hated him with every fiber of her being and when she saved him from the terrible fate that her family wanted to inflict on him, and was forced to get married to him in order to save their family’s reputation, he had never raised his voice at her nor talk to her coldly.

She always felt like he was trying to pay her back by the way he let her family shout at him and call him all sorts of names and make him do all the demeaning chores in the house even though he was her husband in name, earlier was the first time that he had raised his voice at her or spoke to her coldly, she felt like she had just lost something dear to her.

Especially at the last moment when he told her from this moment onward they had nothing to do with one another, she had a brief premonition that she was going to regret letting Edward go like that without clarifying the situation, but there was nothing she could do about it, she would rather he hate her than for her to bring harm to him.

Edward came out of the mansion with his shoulders drooping a little, he had never given his all to a woman, and the first time he opened his heart and started liking a woman, she betrayed his trust, he believed that it was karma for all the bad things he had done in the past.

He was reminiscing about his past life, he was also thinking of where to go from here on out, since he could not head back home, it was not yet time.

He was walking with a sullen mood at the moment, he made his way to the gate of the mansion.

When he arrived, the guards on duty came to him to question him about where he was heading at this time of the night but when he raised his head and they saw his bloodshot eyes they swallowed what came to the mouth and moved out of his way.

One guard looked at the other and said “Am I the only one that felt like if I talked I would have died at the moment?” The other guard gulped nervously and said “I thought I was the only one”

The guard that spoke first “Isn’t he just the useless husband of Miss Bella?” the other guard said “Yes, but he usually stays at home all the time, so where is he heading to at this time of the night”

The guard sneered and said “Maybe the magic that he did on Miss Bella had been broken, didn’t you see how depressed he was? I bet she had broken up with him, serves him right” There was clear jealousy and disdain in the guard’s voice, the other guard nodded thoughtfully, he was also happy at Edward’s misfortune.

Some moments later, the first guard said “Shit, we forgot to inform Miss Bella that her husband had gone outside” The other guard said nervously “Do you think she would blame us?” the first guard shrugged his shoulder and said “We might as well tell her now, it is not too late to do that” the other guard nodded seriously. The first guard walked into the guard’s duty room.

Soon the first guard came out heaving a sigh of relief, he said “She said that there is no problem” The other guard’s tensed nerves also relaxed immediately, The guard then said “But what do you think happened between them?” The first guard sneered and said “How am I supposed to know, Maybe she got tired of this boy toy and threw him away, you know these rich ladies and their tastes and crazy mood swings”

The other guard said “I wish she would give me a chance to be her boyfriend too” The guard even had a dreamy look on his face, thinking about how good his life would be if that happened.

The first guard sneered and said “Have you looked at yourself in the mirror recently, even that good for nothing that got the chance to be Miss Bella’s Husband had something going for him, if you looked half as good as him you wouldn’t be here being a guard but rather you would find a sugar mummy and live a good life, but if you said me, that is another matter entirely, I might have a chance of being her boyfriend, even though I am not as good looking as that bastard at least I don’t look that terrible”

The other guard said “I heard that she is going out with some rich guy like this, maybe that is why she broke up with that good for nothing, which means you have zero chance, focus on your work maybe you will find an average woman to start a family with”

The guards both said good for nothing and broke up in a fit of laughter, it took them a while before they gained their bearings and continued their duty.

***

Outside the gate,

Edward stood there for about five minutes before a Ferrari stopped right in front of him, The windows rolled down and a woman peeped out the window, She then bit her lower lip looking seductive, she said: “Hey handsome, are you looking for some quick bucks?” Edward did not pay any attention to the woman and her rambling.

The woman wanted to flare up and shout at him, but right then another car stopped behind the Ferrari, before the driver came down a deep and enthusiastic voice shouted “If it isn’t my main man Eddie, how are you doing Bro? Did she get tired of you already? I told you to never leave these streets”

After the man finished speaking, he opened the door and came down, it was a man clad in designer clothing from head to toe.

As soon as the woman in the Ferrari saw the owner of the car, her angry face immediately turned pale white with fear, she immediately started the engine of the car and wanted to drive away.

The man laughed and said, “Hey beautiful I am looking for some quick bucks wouldn’t you invite me?” The woman was already shivering at the moment, she wished to come down from the car and run away because she believed her legs would be faster than the car.

That was because the man who stepped down from the car was none other than the new devil in town, Alexander, and he just called the handsome man standing by the road his main man Eddie, who was known as the old devil, whom they said had just disappeared for two years now.

The woman was regretting talking to Eddie at the moment, she was lamenting her terrible luck for meeting these two devils.

Just before she could step on the gas, Ryder rushed and removed the key in the car, the woman’s already pale face got even whiter.
