When eda got home Marcus was there waiting for her.  "Eda, we need to talk" hearing those words sent chills down eda's spine.   "O-okay.. Whats wrong?"   Eda sat down on the couch beside him. "Eda you know I love you right?"  Eda smiled and nodded."and il always love you, but.. I'm just not sexually attracted to you anymore.. Which is why I'm asking if your okay with us having an open marriage"

Eda's heart shattered at that very moment.  Marcus was just staring at her like he had the right to ask.    Eda sat there still processing what was happening. "M-marcus.. Your.. Saying you want to be with other women?"    Her voice was shakey, and her eyes were welling up. "Yeah, it's just.. Your not as attractive as you used to be, but I still love you"    eda's heart was aching, but instead of crying she nodded. "Whatever makes you happy, honey.. "   Marcus smirked and stood up. "Thanks for the talk, good night babe"  Marcus left, and immediately started talking on the phone. 

About an hour later there was someone at the door.  Eda went to open it, and it was some random blonde girl. "I'm sorry.. Can I help you?"  The woman nodded. " yeah I'm here for Marcus" Marcus then came up behind eda and moved her out the way and brought the woman to the bedroom he shared with eda.  

Eda stared in shock, but still didn't cry. She went to the guest room and went to bed in her work clothes because she wasn't going to walk I to a room where her husband was screwing another woman. 

This process continued, every night Marcus would have a new woman come over he's have sex with them while eda slept in the guest room. The only thing was she wasn't sleeping. She'd be up all night. 1 because her husband was with another woman, and 2 they were so loud it was impossible for her to fall asleep. 
So eda just laid there, dull eyed emotionless gazes staring at the bed sheets or the floor, listening to her husband bang whatever other female, or after home doing it for a few months male was in there with him.

Everyday eda didn't she'd a tear, but it was obvious she was going through something. She had heavier eye bags, she looked exhausted, she stopped putting her hair up, and stopped speaking almost entirely. It was like eda was lost in her own world all the time.

While eda was working, Lilith, Raine and Darius weren't far, and were seriously worried about her.  "I don't know, it's like she's getting worse everyday"  Lilith said in a concerned and worried tone. "I say we follow her home and just beat the shit out of her husband"  Raine nodded. "It's the only way"   Lilith groaned. "There's a way to do this legally, besides we can't follow her home.. That's considered stalking"  Raine and Darius scoffed. "I think it's worth going to jail over if it means we make sure she's okay"   Raine said, ad they glanced at eda who was daydreaming. "Raine your a simp shut up" Raine blushed profusely.  "Now.. We need a reasonable approach.. To talk to her" Darius looked at Lilith. "Well your her sister, you should do it" Lilith sighed. "I already tried and she got mad at me"  suddenly both Lilith and Darius looked at Raine. "Uh.. W-why.. Are you guys looking at me?"  Darius pointed to eda. "Go talk to your girlfriend whispers" Raines cheeks were flushed after a comment like that. "S-shes not my girlfriend!"  Darius and Lilith just smirked. "But you want her to be, right?"  Lilith asked. Raine stayed silent, but they weren't denying anything.  

Raine walked over to eda, and put a hand on her shoulder. Eda looked at them slowly, and emotionlessly. Raines heart hurt seeing her that way but sat down. "Eda.. A-are you okay?" Eda nodded slowly, but not in a convincing manner. " walnut..please.. Tell me what's wrong?"   Eda shook her head. "Don't worry about me rainestorm.. Really.. I'm okay"  Raine could tell she was lying, but it's not like they could force her to talk.

When eda got Home the house was silent, which was nice for a change.  Eda cleaned the house and made dinner as usual. When Marcus got home, she had a new girl with him. Eda looked for a second then sighed and looked down. Then Marcus came over to her. "Eda, how are you" eda  nodded. "Fine.. So.. Um.. New company?"  Marcus scoffed. "You know I wouldn't have to do this if you weren't so ugly, you know this is why I'm the only person who could ever want you, your lucky I don't divorce a useless piece of shit like you"  eda shook there, shaking standing still.  "Have a good night, honey"  eda mumbled. Marcus took the girl back into the master bedroom, and wasted no time. 

Eda was still standing in the kitchen, when she caught sight of the knife she just washed. Eda grabbed it and looked at her wrists.  Eda took the knife, and lined the blade up to her veins. Eda then made a decent slice down her arm, and it started bleeding. The way eda sliced was so accurate she quickly dabbed up the blood with a paper towel, but didn't cover the wound.  Within a few minutes eda passed out due to blood loss, and what's worse.. She'd be lucky not even be alive tomorrow
