Before He Cheats
When you sacrifice everything for the one you love and he throws it all away, what would you do? Edward's ultimate betrayal breaks Bella, does she have the strength to get back up?
Drabble-ish fic. This story is un-beta'd and it'll remain that way. I want to post whenever I want and post the length I want so it's not beta'd for that reason.
I see him before he sees me. He's standing tall and proud in front of his colleagues, dressed in a crisp black suit with a navy blue tie. I frown. I don't remember buying him that tie...
He chats animatedly with the two men while nursing a glass of wine. He's smiling and it's the first genuine smile I've seen in weeks, months even.
It's nothing like the smiles he plasters on when he's with me. These are carefree smiles, genuine happy smiles. It reminds me of a time when things between us were near to perfect. A time where nothing could get in the way of our irrevocable love. He was once carefree with me and I wonder, where did it all go wrong?
I've been trying in the past few days to fix us, but how can I when I'm not even aware of the problem. Is it me? Have his feeling for me run it's course? So many questions, but he's the only one with the answers.
When I saw the invite for a function laying on his computer desk in his home study, the invite piked my attention. The invite stated plus ones were welcome to join, so why didn't he ask me?
It got me curious so I dressed up in a black strapless floor-length gown and made my way down to the venue. After giving the guard my name, Isabella Cullen, he allowed me to enter but gave me a lingering stare for no apparent reason.
I've been here now for ten minutes, I don't know anyone here. I don't recognise these people who work closely with my husband and the thought leaves me feeling almost depressed. As his wife I should know them, but I don't.
He walks away from the two men and turns towards the hallway. I follow closely behind, remaining cautious for worry of getting caught.
What I see shatters my heart and all the air leaves my body. His arms are around a strawberry blonde, kissing her with a passion I haven't seen in him for months.
The tears stream down my face, I can't get a word out my throat. It suddenly feels clogged. My Edward's cheating on me. My thoughts slap me out of my stupor and I race over to him and pull his arm, turning him to face me.
His eyes widen when he notices me and all I see is her red lipstick smeared over his lips.
