Prologue
"Are you sure about this, Edward?"
Alice asked worriedly as she looked at her good looking brother who was staring at the girl from their sports car. He had a determined look on his pale face and a rare gentle expression in his eyes that even she had never really witnessed before, which was worrying… because it seems strange that he would suddenly decide on This. And him, of all people.
Edward's never really had much emotions or expressions in him ever since young. He was disaffected by everything, and kept things as impersonal as possible with every human. He walked around with an intentional stoop and glasses, avoided confrontations and basically enjoyed being a wallflower as much as he could.
Normally, people didn't notice him, which was fine by him, because that's what he wanted. Peace from the crowd. So, it seems strange that he, of all people who valued his solitary more than anything, would actually try to solicit attention from the girl who had just moved into town.
If Alice didn't remember wrongly, her name was Isabella. Such a normal name for a normal girl, she frowned, so why would a 23 year old multi national conglomerate business founder and owner whiz kid be interested in her? Unless….but it couldn't be that, could it?
She looked at Edward and then at the girl, "I remembered Jasper mentioned once that while you guys were in boarding school… there was a rumour that you liked a boy. And no matter how much I asked him about that guy, Jasper's lips were very uncharacteristically sealed. Does this girl by any chance have anything to do with that boy?"
Alice raised her brow, perhaps that would explain Edward's disinterest in girls… which she had countlessly tried to throw in Edward's direction… all her Models, actresses, singers and even heiresses friends who had bugged to be introduced to him when they happened to chance upon him at her house, all the beautiful faces in the world couldn't sway him…. So, he wasn't exactly straight! Interesting. She never knew her brother was into that sorta thing.
"Alice, what if I said that this girl is that boy."
Alice paused for a short while. Recollecting herself, she said courteously, "Then Edward, I would say what is the world coming to?"
"I don't know, Alice… you tell me."
Alice suddenly dropped all pretense of calm and said, "Okay fine! You know I'm dying to hear the story already, so don't be mean and drag it out. I'll promise to be an exceptional listener! Please for the sake of man kind, do tell the story…." Alice batted her lashes at her brother who chuckled because Alice, rarely begged. And when she did, it usually meant she'd do anything to get her way….
"It happened…..4 years ago…. Exactly from today…."
