It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1440 What Jessica Ended Up With (Part One)

Kevin had been in several fights before. He realized his opponent was too strong for him to fight head-to-head. With a strong offense, his target was also too arrogant to let him get away. Fortunately, this worked for Kevin just fine.

As a soldier, Kevin often took a more practical approach to subdue enemies, which was hitting right in the vital parts instead of flaunting his strength. So as the man ran towards him, Kevin didn't evade and grabbed him by the wrist just as the man was about to land a punch on Kevin. Immediately after, Kevin twisted the man's arm behind his back, and a loud agonizing pop was followed by the man screaming in pain.

The pain briefly disabled the man from fighting back, and then he attempted to give a sweeping leg. Unfortunately for him, Kevin noticed his slow move and jerked away from it. While evading the man's attack, Kevin struck him in the stomach with his fist. His counter- attack was so smooth that the man didn't even get the chance to defend himself.

When the boss was defeated, his men fled in confusion with their tails between the legs. It seemed like these men were only good at bragging after all.

After a while, when the commotion finally died down, the police cars raced along with sirens at full blast. They were so late to the party that Leena wouldn't have survived if it weren't for her husband.

After taking all of the fighters to jail, Kevin asked Hawkeye to interrogate them one by one. He really wanted to know the culprit behind all of this. To everyone's surprise, the person turned out to be none other than Jessica.

It didn't, however, make sense. Jessica was one of Edward's ex-girlfriends. 'What did she have against Leena?' thought Kevin.

But he was, by no means, a softie. He didn't care whether there was just some misunderstanding between Jessica and Leena. What happened was as clear as crystal. Jessica broke the law and tried to inflict pain on Leena. Kevin gave an order that Jessica was a wanted felon.

It surprised Edward that his former girlfriend was the one behind the whole fiasco. Why she had the nerve to provoke was beyond his knowledge. So Edward asked The Mayfly to track down Jessica before the police.

"Tell me," he said, "Why did you do it?" Edward frowned. Regret washed over him as he thought about how he had let Jessica, a crazy woman, stay with him for so many years.

"Oh," said the woman casually, "You're here. I bet you never suspected that it was me." She smirked viciously. "I saw that you guys love that little bitch very much," she shared, "So I wanted my revenge, and I thought that she was the best target. As soon as that little bitch dies, all of you men will suffer in agony too. What do you think about my plan? Perfect, isn't it?" she asked, laughing hysterically. "How do you feel now? Don't you just want to tear me apart since I had her killed?!" Jessica screamed, her face which had undergone so many plastic surgeries was distorted with extreme fury.

"I'm so sorry to tell you that your plan failed. She didn't die. Don't count your chickens before they've hatched," Edward sneered at her lopsidedly. The only reason he wanted to replace her, before the police could, was so he could show her how happy he was with Daisy now, and that there was nothing she could do to sabotage it.

"It can't be!" she exclaimed, "He assured me that he'll kill Leena! Did he lie to me?" The satisfied smirk disappeared from her face. All that was left was shock. Didn't Edward go to her because Leena was dead?

"He didn't lie to you. He did try. Just that he failed," Edward told her, standing at a distance. He was already disgusted, just being in her presence. Standing close to the crazy woman would make him sick.

"Why?! Why wasn't she killed? It couldn't have failed!" She shook her head. "I planned the murder for such a long time, and it was perfect! You must be fooling me!" Jessica accused angrily with wide eyes. She stared at the man who she once fell in love with. Her hatred towards him now was as strong as her love used to be in the past.

"As the old saying goes, evil people never win," said Edward coldly, "You're just crazy now. You've totally lost your mind." Infected with HIV, the rest of her life was bound to be miserable even if Kevin wasn't going to teach her a lesson. She could've chosen a different path, but instead, she chose to dig her own grave.

"What's that I just heard? Evil people never win? I can't believe that's coming out of your own mouth. It's your fault that I've come to this!" Jessica cursed, staring with tortured and enraged eyes. Had she not been tied up, she would have hit him as much as she could. "Jessica, you volunteered to be a part of this game. You've always known that I'm way out of your league. You shouldn't have fallen in love with me," snorted Edward. Their relationship was purely a business deal. Jessica was his sex partner, and in return, Edward gave her money and fame. How could she blame Edward for dumping her when all he did was give her every fancy thing that she wanted?

"But, what is it about Daisy?" asked Jessica, "What's so special about her?" If only Edward had treated all his girls the same, Jessica wouldn't have hated him so much. It was because there was an exception, someone who was treated better than the rest - Daisy, who made jealousy get to Jessica's head.

"Right. I ask myself the same question. Like, why Daisy? What's so special about her? I've been looking for all the reasons, but haven't had much luck replaceing an answer. All in all, she just ended up becoming part of my life. She just... became someone whom I can't live without," Edward replied, getting lost in his own musings. It was true that he had asked himself the same question plenty of times. The answer just never came to him.0000000
