Chapter 421 - Break up (1/2)

Edward kept on walking till he came to a stop two chairs before her own. He sat down in the plush comfortable seat in front of one of the mirrors and swiveled it until he was facing her.

”I appreciated the value and lessons we were thought as children to be fearless, courageous and take whatever we wanted.​​

I don't know if your father taught you but my father also taught me that there was a thin line between courage and stupidity.”

”I took care of a problem so we can be together darling, do not call me stupid.” Alexa said, venom in her voice.

”The only problem here is you. And I don't mind getting rid of my problems”

Alexa began to laugh, her body shaking and her head thrown back. She stopped and smiled at Edward.

”You're not going to kill me love, that is just going to start an unnecessary war.”

”I think your father would be glad to be rid of you.”

Alexa hissed and snared, she looked like the witch that she was without all the make-up and pretty smile.

”I love her, maybe when a bullet is in your brain those words can sink in.”

”You must be very stupid then if you think I would come unprepared to this saloon.”

Glass broke and smoke filled the entire room as soon as she said that. Edward began to cough and his eyes watered from whatever gas they had thrown inside the room. He stood up from his chair and looked around but couldn't find Alexa.

”Till we meet again, my love.” Her voice excited throughout the room.

”Bloody bitch! Don't let her get away.” Edward yelled through his coughing fits.

But it was too late, Alexa was already gone and all his men were choking from the gas. Someone grabbed him by the shoulder and dragged him out of the building and into fresh air.

His lungs s.u.c.k.e.d in the clear air, trying to dispel the remaining gas that was still choking him. His anger was ten gold now, Edward was not going to stop looking for Alexa.

Unfortunately, after that day, she went to hide in her father's organization to protect herself. They both knew that no matter how angry Edward was, killing Alexa on Yang soil was going to start an even bigger war than killing her on neutral grounds.

Also, Edward respected Mr. Yang enough to back off his hunt for Alexa; instead he filled his time with looking after Amy. She had started healing and was even taking but by bit but not to him, never to him.

He would walk in on her and Gu Zhou chatting but she would immediately lock up when she saw him.

No matter how much he tried, he couldn't get her to speak to him and he couldn't blame her. He wouldn't blame her; she was in this state because of him.

Finally, when she was strong enough to start doing things for herself, Amy insisted that she wanted to be free from Edward's company.

Also, Edward loved having her in his house and in his bed, he was not going to allow her to just walk out into the world, open and vulnerable to more attacks.

”Please Edward, let us leave.” Pleaded Amy.

”No. You don't even have anywhere to go; you can't go back to your house.”

”Thank God it's under insurance, your company is getting me a new one. Stop making excuses Edward, I am tired of them.”

Edward sighed. He couldn't believe this was happening.
