Prologue.
Isabella Swan braced herself against her cold granite kitchen counter as she watched the news headlines with horror and fear.
"According to reports coming from inside the hospital, young Alexander Cullen will face charges for driving under the influence of alcohol and driving without a license at the very less. It is unclear, however, what kind of sentence the young Cullen will face since this is his first real offence even though he has had many run-ins with the law before. Back to you in studio, Brenda."
With trembling hands, Isabella turned off the television and made her way to her dining room, abandoning her freshly brewed coffee. Her knees seemed to give out and she fell unceremoniously into the plush seating of the finely crafted and ridiculously priced dining chair.
She stared at her hands in a daze. Foreign emotions coursed through her. She wanted to scream in frustration and cry out in anger. She felt her heart shatter into nothingness but her mind reeled with what she had just heard.
She knew she was too invested in Alexander's recent misbehaviour but how could she not pay attention. Even though she had not in his life for the past fifteen years, it did not mean that she did not know him.
She was the woman who brought him into this world. She was the woman who sang to him while he grew in her stomach. She was woman who craved pickles and cheese every day after she had gotten over her morning sickness. She was also the woman who to this day, grieved for her son. She was the woman who wanted to wrap him in her arms and tell him that it would be okay but she couldn't. Esmeralda Sophia Platt Cullen had made sure that Isabella would never see her son again.
