Edward’s voice blasts in my ear, “Sophie Wiliams! It is so late. Why do you keep making Claire stay at your place? I have had enough of this! Claire is your cousin, not your mother. She is pregnant, married and doesn't need your endless problems dragging her down! Can you have some shame and stop bothering her every day for no reason? Why are you so determined to ruin our lives? Just because I left you doesn’t mean you can destroy my family out of spite! Claire is a very innocent person. If you keep using her like this, don't blame me for being rude! Hurry up and send her back home!"
Edward seemed to have reached his limit, bombarding me with his anger. I let his yelling wash over me and I felt oddly calm. Actually, when I was dating Edward before, I thought he was the sweetest, gentlest gentleman.
But every time he was nice to me, Claire would use horror cases of husbands who murdered their wives to warn me. She said men are inherently hypocritical; the more perfect a man seems, the more dangerous he is.
While I believed her and distanced myself from him, she was the one who swooped in, comforting him and spinning lie after lie about me. With Claire's “help”, I drifted further away from Edward.
If I had not accidentally seen Claire's sexy lingerie at Edward's house, I would still be grateful for having such a smart cousin to help me see through the scumbag. Not long after, she married Edward. Since then, I have kept my distance from the two of them.
But Edward did not think so. I often received his furious questions. Aside from work, my life was spent explaining Claire's whereabouts. But I didn't know what Claire was doing. I could only follow the reasons she had given me in advance, dealing with the pressure and making excuses. Until the day Edward angrily found my house, taught me a lesson and then sent me to the Spain in a sack.
I finally realized that I had become the one who took the blame for everything.
I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger when I thought about how Edward got revenge on me in my previous life. And then there was Claire and her lover, who murdered me to cover their tracks. It all made me so angry! I thought it's time for a change.
Today, I would make you uncover the filthy truth about your ‘perfect’ wife, Edward!
