Chapter 3 Cloth Yourself

Alexia stands in front of the door, wanting to knock at the door, but she is afraid of what she may see inside. Although Edward has always been cold and indifferent to her, she still cannot face Edward's betrayal directly.

'You can't be a coward, Alexia! You can't live like this, and you can still live on your own even without Edward. You've suffered four years of humiliation and it's time to get rid of it.'

Alexia summons the courage and enters the room code, then the door is open and, a smell of post-sex washes over her nose and Alexia feels like she almost couldn't breathe. But as she calms down the scene before her shocks her even more.

The man on the bed is not Edward, but two fat older men?! And Cecelia is lying between them.

What is going on here? Why is Cecelia not lying in the arms of Edward, but in the bed of these two old men? Before Alexia could react, Cecelia wakes up.

Instead of grief, her eyes glows with triumph.

Alexia looks at her with her mouth gaped, she looks at her left side and her right side and she shouts,

“Cecelia, are you out of your mind? What have you done to yourself?”

Because her voice is loud and she hadn’t closed the door, her voice travels out of the room. In the room opposite, Edward stirs in his sleep when he hears her voice. He wakes up with a frown and he thinks,

‘Her voice is always in my head. Even now that I am in the hotel, wouldn’t you let me rest?’

But he recalls the sentence he heard in his sleep and he becomes wild awake. He looks around and finds himself topless and a bad feeling welled up inside him.

Had he done something to Cecelia last night? He hurriedly lifts the blanket to check and finds that his trousers are still on him.

There is no smell of sex in the air either, so it seemed that nothing had happened last night.

He breathes a sigh of relief at the thought.

“Hey!! Who are you two? Get out of the bed!” Suddenly, Cecelia's panicked voice rings out, which urges Edward to scramble into his shirt regardless of his current look.

He opens the door and sees room 1106, where Cecelia is crying with red eyes, and across from her stood his wife, Alexia.

Cecelia sees Edward and her cheeky smile on her face immediately changes to that of fear. She hurriedly covers herself when the men beside her open their eyes and look in her way. She moves to the headboard and moves her knees to her chest and she looks around her with tears in her eyes.

"Alexia, why are you doing this to me? It was my brother's death anniversary yesterday and I only suggested that Edward come with me to pay the respects. I had no other intentions, but... but why do you be so cruel and let...let someone rape me!" Cecelia accuses Alexia with tears streaming down her face.

"What are you talking about?" Alexia couldn't understand how she has just arrived and now become the guilty one?

"Hey girl, are you satisfied with what we did?" The older man who has been lying next to Cecelia stands up and smiles lecherously at Alexia. "Remember to contact us again next time if you need us to do such a good favor."

Another man chimes in with a laugh.

When they finish, they are going to leave, but Cecelia suddenly turns to Edward and pleads, "Edward, please help me, you can't let them out or they'll spread the rumors and my life will be ruined."

Alexia is still in shock, but when she sees the murderous look on Edward's face, she knows that if she doesn't explain, she would really be mistaken for the criminal. She now finally realizes that this is a trap Cecelia has set for her.

If Edward really  believes in Cecelia's words, she will be taken as a wicked wife, and Edward will soon divorce her.

And the Jones family will also be on Cecelia's side.

"Edward, please, I really didn't do this, and I just came over to confirm..." but before Alexia could finish her sentence, she is interrupted by Edward's cold voice.

"To confirm what? Confirming that if I had betrayed you?"

"I..." Alexia is afraid to look directly at Edward for a moment.

"Edward, please don't blame Alexia. It's all my fault, and I know yesterday is your wedding anniversary, yet I still beg you to go with me to pay respect to my brother. Alexia as your wife, it's all right for her to be unhappy and want to get back at me. But Alexia, you can beat me and scold me, but how can you let someone rape me..." Cecelia seizes the opportunity and voices out.

"You're lying! I didn't do this!" Alexia says angrily.

Duly Cecelia burrows her face into Edward's arms, her whole body shaking involuntarily, but Edward misses the scene that Cecelia gives the older man a wink.

The older man immediately nods. He looks at Alexia and says accusingly, "Chick, don't deny it. You need to pay us the final payment."

"Stay away from me! Why are you guys wronging me?" Alexia once again tries to explain.

But Edward, not even looking at her, hugs Cecelia and walks out the door.

Alexia tries to pull Edward back to explain herself, but Edward pushes her away so hard that her head hits the wall and tears of pain come out of her eyes.

"Alexia, let's get a divorce."

Alexia falls to the floor, she's so shocked at Edward's words. She couldn't believe that Edward had actually said he wanted a divorce.

The pain in her head is far less than the pain in her heart.

The two older men try to leave as well as their plan has worked, but are stopped by ten muscular bodyguards.

Soon, the hotel room is sounded with miserable screams.
