"You can call it a 'Good Riddance' clause"

Edward looked pretty happy that I was OK to sign the contract. To be honest, I was just as pleased. We just sat in companionable silence. It felt peaceful.

"So is that all you wanted from me? Tell me Edward, why did you marry at all.. you wanted to get to know the girl before right?" I didn't even realise as I blurted out.

Edward took a deep breath, smiled and sat facing me. "I didn't want to marry to be honest. I still don't. I think I am better off single. Some people are not marriage material." He jumped off the bed and walked to his cupboard and started stuffing his clothes back in. The air was pretty neutral now, seems we were speaking to each other.

"So then, why?" Granted I was not interested in him for the marriage, but had it been any other girl who was expecting him to be a husband for real, this behaviour was unfair and cruel to her. Marrying someone when you don't want to, raising expectations, playing with emotions of everybody and spending mad amounts of money just to plan for a divorce later makes no sense. Its beyond unacceptable and brutal.

"Why what?" Edward was not even looking at me now. My frustration at him was increasing.

"Why did you even get married? I knew girls used to get forced into a marriage.. but I gave you a clear way out! You didn't have to get married! That is dishonest and unfair. Are you expecting me to hang around till you change your mind?"

"No I don't. I expect you to walk out of this marriage once you get what you want." Edward spat back.

"Likewise Edward. In fact, I can bet you will be the one to opt out." I mumbled "I'd rather you did it sooner than later.."

Edward simply laughed, "Bella, you bet on this? You bet on who will opt out? We can get the contract signed in 3 days.. and you will be the one to break it. Be prepared to hand over your 10 cents when you do."

I couldn't stay in the same room with this person as I got up and walked out to the kitchen for dinner.

I couldn't believe my ears on what he had said.. I was going to teach this guy a lesson to mess with me.

Edward's getting into himself into trouble. His big mouth will be stuffed with his big feet soon...

Let's see what Bella can do.
