The next day, I got up before nine, showered, and ran to the kitchen.
Yan: Look, he left you another card.
Leandro: Another one? Didn't he see I didn't even use the first one?
Yan: I think he's just trying to please you.
Leandro: But he doesn't need to, I want to have my own credit card.
I grab my coffee, my cookie and my bag, say goodbye to Yan and leave the credit card on the counter, hoping Yan will return it to Edgar.
At work, I am reminded once again of my past and how I am the same as when I got married the first time.
I was a humble and honest delivery man, too bad it ended up going wrong just like my marriage to Eduardo.
At lunch, I avoid going to the same place Luca has lunch, because I know that a work friendship can be very misunderstood and for now, I don't want to leave peace mode with Edgar.
Not to mention that Edgar's security guards were everywhere, writing down my every step to report back to him later.
And all armed.
At home, I went to Edgar to see if I could convince him to get these men away from me while I was in my work environment.
Edgar: Sorry, but it's necessary, in the world we live in, relaxing a little is suicide and I don't feel like being without a husband.
I leave ignoring him, because I wasn't really enjoying living as if I was in a relationship with a celebrity, I mean, I saw the paparazzi at the wedding, but it was behind him and not me, nobody even got to see my face in the magazines, Edgar managed to buy them all. So there's no reason for so much overacting on top of me.
In my room.
Yan: Hi?! Can I come in?
Leandro: Hi! You can!
Yan: Without meaning to hear what was said downstairs and tell you why the protection is necessary.
I look at Yan and pull up a chair for him to sit on, listening carefully to everything he had to say.
Yan: It turns out that last year, the year Edgar was everywhere as the new entrepreneur of the year, his brother, Juliano, was shot and robbed, since then everyone close to your husband has to walk around with a bodyguard in tow. Especially now that he is more popular.
I keep thinking about a situation like that.
Leandro: Did he at least survive?
Yan: Yes, but he can't walk anymore, the bullet was lodged in his spine, preventing him from walking again.
This way I can understand Edgar's paranoia, but not his jealousy, I wanted to know why.
Leandro: Edgar is a bit jealous, do you know why? I mean, has he been cheated on or anything?
Yan falls silent and ends up leaving me alone in the room.
At dawn, Edgar went out like a madman with his car, it made me a little jealous, but I knew I had no right to feel that way, it wasn't in the contract, Edgar wasn't mine in soul, he wasn't.
3 am
I hear a noise and go to see, it was him arriving drunk with one of his security guards holding him.
Leandro: Leave him here on the couch and go get some rest.
Security: Yes sir, excuse me.
Looking at Edgar, I begin to realize that he looks more like Eduardo than I imagined.
