Chapter 1 : The Proposal
I looked at the sun that was shining brightly. I sighed and walked towards the door. I was feeling quite hungry. I made my way to the refrigerator. I opened it and discovered that there was nothing left to eat. Tears started welling up in my eyes when suddenly I heard a soft knock on the door. I looked up, surprised. After my parents death no one usually comes to my house. I walked slowly towards the door I peeked through the peep hole. A lady, not young but quite fit was waiting patiently for me to open the door. I opened the door and met soft brown eyes that looked at me as if I was the girl she was looking for ages. She smiled and said "hello. My name is Esme. Can I come in? "
I knew her. She was the wife of Dr Carlisle Cullen. He is a very rich man. I wondered why she came here. I just nodded at her and allowed her to come in. She gave me a quick smile and quickly made her way inside the house. I was a bit embarrassed as my house was not as beautiful as hers or big like hers. She didn't seem to mind it. "Please sit down. I will get coffee for you" I said. Thought I knew there was nothing in the house to eat or drink. "Oh no. Thank you." She said. I smiled at her and sat on the sofa a little away from her. She was looking down as if thinking hard what to speak. Meanwhile I started thinking why she came here. Did I do something wrong? This thought scared me a bit. I looked at her and she smiled. "Bella" she said. She knows my name? "I want you to marry my son Edward."
I looked at her as if she was some alien. "Esme, I mean Mrs. Cullen, I can't do that." I said. This completely shocked me. I never expected that she would throw this question on me. Actually she declared that I am marrying his son. I got up from the sofa and walked to stand beside the door. My mind was racing in many directions and many unspoken questions started filling my mind. She got up slowly and made her way towards me. "I know you are surprised by my question but I really need you to be my daughter-in-law" she said. I looked at her and shook my head sadly. "I am not perfect for your son" I said. She smiled. "You are the most perfect person for my son." Tears started flowing through my eyes. "I think you don't know about my past." I said. She gave me a small smile. "I know everything" she said.
I looked at her, surprised again. "Then why?" I asked her. She sighed sadly.
"Edward is workaholic. I need to find a bride for him who has a lot of patience to meet his demands and don't get angry with his mood swings. I want a girl who can accept Edward in the way he is and does not complain about how rude he is or how he looks. Bella, you are the most decent person I have ever seen and the thing about your past, that guy was really stupid to leave you. You deserve the best." She said, quoting the last line with a smile. I looked down. "Does he know about my past?" I asked her. She shrugged her shoulders. "No" she said. "But we will tell him after the marriage"." I don't want to lie to him." I said. "We are not lying" she said. "We are just...hiding". She chuckled. I looked at her and said. "I need to think." She smiled and nodded her head briefly. Then she thanked me and left the house leaving me wrapped in my own thoughts. My past bothered almost every person living nearby. It was the time when I was going to get married to Jacob Black. He was the perfect guy any girl can ever dream of. Just two months were left for our marriage when he started hitting me and beating me up.
I shook my head and forgot about those things. Our marriage broke. It was going to happen. I was broken. No one wanted their child to marry a girl whose marriage was broken before she can even walk down the aisle. My mom couldn't bare the pain and soon she left this world. After my mother passed away my dad starting working more. He died soon too. I wiped the tears away from my face. It happened all because of me. If I wouldn't have said that Jacob was abusing me, my parents would have been alive. I slowly put on my coat and decided to take a quick walk to clear my mind. The weather was pleasant. I liked the way wind blew through my hair. I walked down the street and made my way to the Cullen's house. There right in front of my eyes stood a big mansion. The exterior was so beautiful it made me wonder how the interior was. I sighed. I have to forget my past and I think Edward can help me do that. I slowly knocked on the door.
"Coming" a soft voice said.
I realized it was Esme's voice. She opened the door and greeted me with a big smile.
"Bella. Come in. "she said.
I smiled and shook my head.
"No thank you." I said
She looked at me with hopeful eyes.
"You needed something?" she asked.
I gave a faint smile.
"I accept you proposal" I said and chuckled.
Her eyes widened and she gave me the most brilliant smile I have ever seen. I smiled back automatically and somewhere in my mind a small voice said that everything's going to be fine.
