First Chapter

I was born Isabella Marie Swan, but I was now Isabella Marie Swan-Cullen. I married Edward Cullen. We met in college when I was pursuing my Bachelors/Master's degree in English. I will never forget the day I met Edward, it was the spring of my freshman year. I was just moving back after my winter break when I ran into Edward. I was caught off guard, considering I am a clumsy mess, I ran into him. After embarrassment and composing myself I took notice of the man before me, he was what I considered to be way out of my league, kind of guy. Edward had a pair of gorgeous emerald eyes, with weird yet interesting head of hair. He has the type of hair that you could just lay in bed and run your fingers through it. It was undeniable I was smitten with Edward Cullen from the very first day that I met him. At that moment, I knew that I wanted to get to know more about him and maybe develop even more than a friendship. And so it happened six years later here I am, now the wife of none other than Edward Cullen. Being with Edward made my life so much better, he brought out the best in me. Sometimes the worse. But I have always been the one to focus on the positives. We had a stable marriage. Of course, we fought from time to time. What normal couple didn't?

When I met Edward he was majoring in Business Management/Accounting and ended earning his MBA in Information Systems. Together we made a great team. Currently, Edward co-runs his father's company with his older brother Emmett. I stay at home working on my new novel. When I first graduated I was working at Cindy's Publishing House, but quit to divide my time to work on my book. It has been my dreams to write my book. I am fascinated by the fantasy world of creating your story and characters that were what had led me to my field of study back in college. Lately, I have felt as though I have made a bad decision deciding to stay at home and work. When I first made that decision Edward was home more often, he had worked throughout the days, but he would make it home early enough for us to have a good evening together. About four months ago all had that has changed. Edward is no longer coming home on time. I am starting to see less and less of my husband. I often wonder at times why he is always so busy and never seems to make time for me anymore….

"Good morning sunshine," Edward greets me, interrupting me from my bothersome thoughts. I turn around and look at him, he's all dressed and ready to go in his black Armani suit with a white shirt underneath with his briefcase in hand. Seeing him ready to be on the go, I don't bother to ask him if he wants any breakfast. Knowing that the answer will be "babe, you know I have to go. Maybe next time." I have gotten so used to his response these days that I don't even bother wasting my time. I have heard enough no's for the month already.

"Good morning," I replied smiling at him weakly. "Will you be home for dinner tonight?" I added, looking at him with a hopeful stare. I was feeling too isolated in my home. I had planned ahead with Edward for a dinner tonight. I have come to realize that to spend time with my husband I need to add myself to his calendar so he can remember that I am a priority. I know, I am pathetic.

"Of course, I will be here! I made a promise to you, and I plan on fulfilling that promise. I know I have not been around much lately, and I am sorry. But its auditing season, it can turn out badly if everything is not in order at work. And if I am not careful I will…"

"Ruin what my father spent years building" blah blah I finished his sentence in my head, it was the same response he had said for the past four months. It was like a new song in my head. It was his response each time I propose or asked him to part take in an activity with me.

"I love you Bella." He said bringing me back out of my thoughts. He gave me a kiss on my forehead and out the door he was.

"I love you too…." My words faded as he hurried out of the house.

After Edward had left, I found myself in what had become a norm, tears. Tears filled my eyes as I considered where my marriage had now reached. Yes, I should be grateful that we weren't fighting or going through anything drastic, but when you're a married couple. You should be spending time together especially when we are so young. When I got married to Edward, I thought that we could settle down, have a family, work, and go on vacations. You know all the fun stuff that couples do. Instead, that's not what's going on now. Edward works six days per week from seven until sometimes ten at nights. While I am at home, either working on my novel or knitting. Knitting is a hobby I learned to keep myself busy while having no husband to share my daily enjoyment with. When Edward gets home, he only have time to sleep and be on his way the next day. Sunday is the only day I have with him. I feel as though when I see my husband, it's a privilege, like I am some fan seeking a day out with my favorite celebrity.

I feel as though if it weren't for my two best friends Rosalie and Alice, I would not be in a stable mind now. They keep my occupied on nights that Edward is unable to. At first they too thought I was crazy for thinking Edward was not giving me enough attention until they realize that he was consistent with hardly being home. Women are often seen as "crazy" and "clingy", but I can assure you I was not either of the two. I knew what my marriage had been like in the beginning and at the stage that it is at now, is not what it's supposed to be like. Something is off with Edward, and I don't think it's just work! That's my biggest fear to think that Edward could have another agenda besides work when he leaves our house.

Edward's POV

As I slammed the door to my house, I could hear Bella's voice saying "I love you too." I knew she did, I mean I loved her too. It was one of the reasons why I married her. Bella changed me and made me see myself in a new light. She had a natural and pure beauty. She never saw herself for how she was. Before Bella I was a lady's man, I was known as "the player" a bit of a jerk if I am honest. I didn't see the value of women. But when I met Bella something changed, I knew I wanted her to see the best in me and in order for that to happen I had to be the best for her. She was innocent, it was so refreshing, and she wasn't clingy or running after me and I appreciated that. Although she did run into me, that's another story. I knew Bella was the one from the very first moment; we spent our college years together. Right after college I knew I wanted to marry her, well at least after being with someone for three and a half years I thought it was the thing to do and, I did love her. That ought to count for something. Our marriage was going perfectly fine. I was the CEO of my dad's company; Bella was working on her first novel. My life was starting to seem like one of those fantasy romance novels. Until, I had asked for a new secretary and Human Resource hired Tanya Denali.

Four months ago is when my life changed. I went from being the perfect husband to being the world most shitty husband. I told myself that when I had gotten married to Bella that I would stop my scumbag ways and be a man and never cheat on my wife. That was until Tanya walked into my office, notifying me that she was my new secretary. There was something about Tanya; she had the sultry way of talking. It wasn't of innocence, but appealing to certain parts of my body. Tanya had the perfect Barbie physique, long legs, strawberry blonde hair, and beautiful blue eyes. She was very seductive and persuasive. I tried time and time again to convince myself that I had a beautiful wife at home and a brilliant one at that too. Until one day, Tanya came to work wearing fish nets with a short black dress with rhinestone on the sleeves and black pumps. One look at her and I knew what she had on was not for work, and I would've sent her home. But she looked too damn sexy. She knew I wanted her, and she was tempting me more and more every day if it wasn't her sucking on her pen or bending over then it was this! I was fed up with her trying to seduce me all the time; I was a man, and I had feelings and needs. So when Tanya Denali walked into my office that morning, I did not resist the temptation and took her right there and then. She did not resist me either, and from that moment until now we have been having an ongoing affair that my sweet innocent wife has no idea about, and I hope to she never finds out.

I have tried time and time again to stop what I have done, but it's so hard. The good news is that Tanya leaves for Italy in about a month and will be living there for some time before she returns, if she returns. When she leaves me, and my Isabella can continue to live our life that was once only made of the two of us again. She will continue to see me as the perfect husband that I am.

If only she knew what you were doing behind her back.

Well! She doesn't, now does she? And who's going to tell her anyway?

I said speaking to my inner conscience, who has tried to convince me that I am wrong.

As I arrived in the parking lot at work, I quickly park my car in the CEO Reserved spot. Grabbing my briefcase out of the car and made my way to the elevator that's stationed in the parking lot. As I entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 27th floor, some screamed out.

"HOLD IT!" I looked to see that it was Emmett, my older brother, and I immediately stopped the elevator doors so he could enter.

"Good morning Em," I said eyeing my brother, who was out of breath.

"What's up bro…?" Emmett was cut off when the elevator stopped and in walked Tanya, fuck my life. I thought

My body stiffened as she walked over to me and said "good morning Edward." With a seductive smile plastered on her face, then turning to Emmett "Hi Emmett." She said and hit the button for the 5th floor. The elevator seemed like it took forever for it to get there. When it got there, Tanya made her way out the elevator doors and waved at me with a smile. After Tanya had left, the elevator was silent, until….

"Edward I know it's none of my business, but why are you doing this to Bella? She is a darn good wife and every opportunity that you get to be under Tanya skirt you jump at it. I doubt you spend any time with your wife since Tanya has been employed here Edward! You're a disappointment to what a husband should be. I just wish you stop doing this Edward, Bella is a wonderful woman, and I bet another man is out there waiting to give her what you are not capable of giving." Emmett said angrily with disappointment in his voice.

, "and what is that Emmett? What can they give her?" I asked back in response being the defensive asshole that I am

"Faithfulness, Edward. But you wouldn't know anything about that? Now would you? Vows don't mean anything to you do they?" Emmett asked bitterly, with disdain clearly in his eyes.

"You are right emm; Bella deserve better, and I am going to stop. I just need time to decide what I want," I said seriously thinking as the elevator door opened, and we both stepped out.

Emmett let out a dark laugh, "Edward here is a pointer while you decide what you "really and truly want" think about this, Tanya can only offer you sex, and she is not and will never be wife material deep down I know you like her, you don't love her. Bella, however, I know you love, even though you have a very odd way of showing it. Remember one thing never leave the one you love for the one you like because the one you like will leave you for the one they love."

"Thanks, Emmett I don't know how I got myself into this mess. I will consider what you've told me. I know I've made some bad decisions lately" I said hoping he would cut me some slacks.

"I know how you did; you want to know why you're in this mess Edward? It's called self-control something you don't have. I have secretaries to Edward, but I know that no matter how hot they come to work looking. My wife can put on that same damn outfit and look ten times better, and that's why I marry her because I knew she was the ONE. I am not trying to lecture you Edward but as the older brother I can only try to put you on the right path. Remember this, you're going to regret this and remember I told you so "He said not trying to sound mad but I can see that he was, who could actually blame him, everyone loved Bella, and I mean who wouldn't. They knew how devoted she was, and I was just the cheating bastard that she had to put up with. After Emmett walk away, I stepped into my office. Before I was even seated, I heard Tanya's heels clicking down the hallway, and I knew she was heading straight to my office.

"Hello Baby" she purred as she walked into my office.

"Hey honey," I said sounding like I didn't have any life in me which she seemed to notice

"Oh baby you seem down, I know how to make you better," she said leaning down exposing her cleavage to me, which made every problem I had disappear…except one that is. "How is that baby?" I said smiling up at her knowing exactly what she was going to say. "How about you come over to my house tonight after work, and I will show you exactly how?" she said it as a question, but it seemed more like a demand. Being the idiot asshole I had now turned out to be, I, of course, accepted "I would love that,", "Ok babes see you later." And with that she was turned on her heels and was out of my office. I was now excited I couldn't wait for the day to be over, so I could fuck the shit out of her. The things I would do to her tonight. After sitting there fantasizing about what I was going to do to Tanya, Emmett Paged me letting me know that we had an urgent meeting and I was needed A.S.A.P. I hurried off to the 10th floor where I spent the rest of my evening in a boring meeting with a new company who wanted to collaborate with ours and work on a new project. After the meeting, I headed straight to my office and got my briefcase then to Tanya house I was headed for.

Bella's Pov

It was now after six, and I was now waiting for Edward to get home. It had been a long day for me, I wrote three new chapters for my book and I cleaned the house spotless. After doing all that needs to be done around the house including the laundry. I started on dinner, at first I was a little puzzled by what I was I going to cook for dinner but then I decided on Edward's favorite meal Parmesan Encrusted Chicken Breasts with Roasted Pepper Sauce and spaghetti. I knew that he was going to love this. I had set the table with candlelight's, the vanilla flavored candle scent roamed throughout the house, giving it a warm and cozy feeling. I had a good thing going; Edward was going to enjoy this. Satisfied with what I did I sat patiently waiting around the table for Edward knowing that he would be home in less than twenty minutes. After dinner, I was planning to have a warm bath together with Edward, and then we would see where things would go from there wink wink. I smiled to myself as I thought about what would happen. It's been a while since we did anything like this. We don't get much time together, and I often feel isolated. I just can't wait until he has enough time to spend it with me. I don't get it, he used to be home early, he never even wanted to go to work but lately he has been so far from this world. I can't even remember the last we had sexual intercourse with each other. I think at times as if my marriage is tearing apart and I don't even know why. It's driving me crazy I just seriously hope its work he is extremely busy with and not something else or someone else. I hated having to think like that but what other solutions did I have. I trusted Edward I told myself, I don't think he would ever cheat on me. Therefore, I pushed that thought out of my head and sat at the dinner table waiting for my husband to come.

Edward's Pov

I was on my way home it was now eleven pm, I had just left Tanya's house just the saying of her name reminded me of the beautiful night we had, and it was rough. Tanya sure knew how to put on a show. When I had arrived at Tanya's house she wasn't wearing much and let's just say after a few minutes neither Tanya nor myself wasn't wearing anything. As I arrived in my driveway, I noticed the light was on in the living room of my house, that was weird I thought to myself Bella would have normal been asleep my now. I parked my car, and walked up to the door and open the lock with my key.

Bella's Pov

I have sat here for over 4 hours now, I was pissed as hell Edward had not yet arrived and I was still sitting here thinking that he would soon arrive, I was making up excuse thinking that he was perhaps stuck in traffic, but every time I tried calling his phone it went straight to voice-mail. Next thing I heard the door knob turn and then in Enter Edward, with a smile on his face that quickly disappeared into shock and disbelief.

"OH, SHIT." He said in a shocked tone, the realization hit him as he suddenly remembered that he had plans tonight.
