Prologue

"What is the meaning of this?" Bella shouted with tears in her eyes.

Edward's eyes traveled to the photos she was holding in her hands, his eyes grew dark, but he did not cower in shame. He stood tall and as arrogant as ever. He could clearly see the hurt in Bella's eyes, but said nothing.

His quiet acquiescence made her sad. If he had tried to deny, or explain, maybe she would have found the strength to listen to him, or to forgive.

"Why, Edward?" she asked dejectedly.

"I was afraid, Bella… Afraid of losing you both."


A/N Thank you for embarking on this journey with me! It's my first story, but it's almost finished so I can share it with you regularly. I hope you will love these characters as much as I do. Please be patient as appearances are deceiving…
