A/N Hi, the first chapter to my story, I don't know how many chapters there are going to be. I just write as I please. There is no schedule just random posting. Happy New Year to all! Read and enjoy.

Snap Shots -

The house was silent except for the clanking coming from the kitchen. I patiently waited just outside the door for him to leave. It had been tense between us for the past couple of months, his drinking and coming home late, my detachment from everyone in life in general was making me bitter. Our lives once perfect now ruined because of early marriage and forced adulthood.

He walked out, smartly dressed in his suit not saying a word holding a cup of coffee tightly against his chest, not once glancing my way. I started to make of own cup of coffee for on the go, pouring it into my grey flask. We met at the door a silent agreement that we should keep up our routine of traveling to work together. I think that was the worst part, I couldn't get away from him even if I tried, we worked in the same building just different department separated by one floor. Occasionally I'd have to make the trip up to his floor or him to mine for a business meeting.

"Please mind the platform." the intercom said as a train halted to a stop in front of us. We both boarded the train still silent moving mechanically. Our bodies drifted together, my shoulder brushed his chest as I moved to let a man through. Edward reached up holding on tight to the pole above as the train departed. I looked up at him seeing the hard edge of his eyes, that warmth he usually reserved for me was now gone. I quickly looked away.

Walking into the building a chorus of hello greeted us so I smiled back politely getting on the lift. Jessica was on board, the annoying associate of mine. She smiled brightly unabashedly staring at my husband up and down flirtatiously putting an arm on his hand.

"Hello, Edward." She looked at me next, her gaze more calculating. " Bella."

"Jessica." I said, Edward never bothered to reply facing the door giving her his back.

If only it was that easy for me to ignore her like that but unfortunately I worked on the desk across from her which needed a civilized business relationship.

"You need to finish that Empire project. Marcus wants it today." Jessica's navel voice said interrupting my thoughts.

"Yes. I know Jessica, you've only reminded me for the last week."

"Well we can't all buy our way in the company." She smirked.

Five years ago when I got this Job Edward recommended me to fill in the position, well-known in the business as he's training to be the predecessor of Marcus, the CEO. So most people think I bought my way in but he only told me about the job.I was the one who had to pass all the tests they through at me. At the age of eighteen I climbed the ladder faster than most.

Now at the age of twenty-three I'm earning a significant amount of money and own twenty percent of shares in the business. Edward after graduating and Harvard was given a position at CC Inc after interning for a year becoming one of their best assets. He owns another twenty percent of shares making us well off financially.

The doors opened, Jessica and I got and surprisingly so did Edward.

"Why are you getting off here?" I asked stepping aside to let Jessica go.

"I have a meeting with James." He said walking on making me run a bit to keep up.

"Why didn't you mention that before?"

"I wasn't aware that I had to tell you about every meeting I have." He snapped turning to the glass walled conference room, so people can watch how well the meetings go from outside without gaining real information about the deal.

He shook hands with the other men and women in the room leaving me standing.

My morning was going well all things considered when the mail man arrived and dropped a thick envelope on my desk muttering "You've got served." Confused I opened it only for my heart to stop and stutter.

Edward Cullen is filing for divorce.
