Chapter 1

General POV

Bella is standing in front of her closet trying to decide what to wear for the dinner party she is going to. It's not much of a dinner party as it is where they announce the New York Best business man or women. And she wanted to win because she has done a great job making a small bed and breakfast that her dad opened into one of the best hotels in the nation today.

She wanted to wear something that said I am best of the best but I still know how to take care of my self. Something that would make her looks hot and prove what Times Business has called her "Devil in hells".

After about of an hour of going through her walk in closet, she finally decides on a Cocktail red dress not to showy and to causal, with Red jimmy choos and a red clutch purse. She had her down in big long curls with some natural make-up, and she was ready to go. She looked at the time 6:50, ten more minutes until Ben shows up, he is one who handles all the lawyer stuff and my personal advisor.

Bella POV

I went downstairs to wait for Ben when I saw picture of Jasper and me from when we were little. I miss him he was and still is my best friend. I used to tell him everything but we kind of drifted apart when we went to college; he to Harvard for his law degree and I to Stanford for my business.

My dad told me he was in New York but I never got the chances to calling him, actually that a lie I stand in front of the phone for about 10 minutes but get to scared that he won't want to talk me to me.

Knock, KNOCK

I got up and answered the door of my pent houses that is on the top of the hotel.

"Hey" I said

"Hey Bella, You look beautiful" Ben told me

"Thanks Bro, you don't look bad you're self"

"Thanks, Ready to go?"

"Yes. Just hold on while I get my coat"

After 15 Minutes of drive in Ben's 2009 Buick Wildcat, we got to the ballroom where they were holding the party.

Ben gave the keys to the door to park his car and opened the door for me.

We gave our coats to the host and entered the party.

You could see everyone from where we were standing. All the business men and there lawyers, wives, affairs.

We walked down the stairs and into the party after saying hellos to few people I went to get a table that were arranges around the dance floor where no one was dancing , when I heard my name. I turned around and almost fainted.

It was my best friends Dad Nicolas Hale or nick.

"Oh my God, Nick" I said while I ran into his open arms, he was like a dad to me, and my dad's best friend.

"Hey, beautiful" he said. He and Jasper have this habit of calling me beautiful.

"How are you?"

"I am great sweetheart, how are you?"

"Great"

"Hey Ben" he said while also giving him a hug.

"Hey"

"Ok, I know you habit of hugging young girls but come on, But at your dinner party"

"Well if you saw who was I hugging you would do the same" he still didn't turn around, so I could see who he was talking to.

"Oh, really so is that special that I have to hug them too" the person said

It was then I was who he was talking to and I was shocked.

"Jasper"

"Bella"
