Prologue
Every time he saw her his dead heart soared.
Every time his son brought her over to the house he was filled with jealousy when he saw the love they had for each other. He wished that instead of his son, she loved him instead like that.
He dreamed of kissing her over and over again.
Every time he was able to touch her he felt an electric current and it made his entire day. Those meetings were where scarce and few.
His son recently caught him thinking of her. Now his only brings her to the house when he is not around.
It kills him not to see her. He knows she is his soul mate but he is willing to stand on the sidelines for her happiness. His son should at least respect that and let him see her.
His son should respect the pain he goes through seeing the two of them together.
Bella knows nothing of Carlisle's love for her. She thinks of him as a father figure and that kills him to know that. Now he thinks that she thinks he hates her.
He was loved her ever since he met her in the hospital and when she was attacked by James, he would have went to the Volturi to have them kill him if she would have died. It nearly killed him when he saw her lying on the floor.
After a month of not being able to see her, the inevitable happened; he was told she hated him.
Edward knew this was the one thing he feared most, that Isabella would hate him. Edward had already told Esme about him and she divorced him.
He had to tell the Bella the truth.
