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.
