Hey...this is like my first ever fanfiction. Hope you like it... Reviews!!!
A New Beginning
Intro:
Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful girl named Isabella Swan AKA Bella. She lived in Chicago and was home-schooled till she went to Harvard at the age of 19 and graduated when she was 22. She had a grandfather called Richard Swan. He was the 47th richest man in the world. So Bella was very lucky.
Bella got everything she ever wanted. She had all the designer clothes and bags that all the girls envied, the fastest and most expensive cars that all the boys envied. She was quite smart and did rather well in her studies; which made her the CEO of her grandfathers company; Swan Industries.
When it came to boys, Bella had no problem. She was quite pretty and was about a size 4. She nice long brown hair that was naturally curly and was about 5'6. She had a couple of boyfriends she met in Harvard. But they were either too arrogant of how wealthy they were, or only used her for money.
But with all those things stated above, she still wasn't happy... Why? Because she never felt like people liked her for who she really is, not the rich and powerful girl, but the kind and sweet girl she really was. No one ever saw that, not even her best friend Lucinda.
Chapter 1:
Today was a big day for Bella, today she was going to be on the Peak show to talk about how it feels like being Chicago's youngest heiress. Ok, no need to be nervous, I mean I've done plenty of these interviews before, but not in front of the entire world. So no pressure... Bella thought to her-self. She was sitting backstage in a black skirt that was till mid thigh and a plain white sleeved blouse with a black brooch and had her hair straightened but curled at the ends. She was going to be on air in about 10 minutes. She told herself to calm down as she looked around and saw many people with microphone headsets walking around frantically with papers in their hands.
She decided to check her text messages. She reached for her Yes Saint Lauren bag and looked for her black Vertu phone. It was black and had 18k rose gold buttons with a leather base for the back and three 1 Carat diamonds on the back of the phone. She unlocked it and took out the stylus and started scrolling down.

Bella, just to let you know that I have already arrived safely in Hong Kong. I will be back on Thursday. Please note that on Friday, we will be having dinner with a friend of mine.
Love Granpa...
She sighed and wanted to check the 4th message when someone tapped her on the shoulder and she looked up to find a girl in her twenties smiling at her and smiled "Miss Bella, would you mind to please follow me to get ready to enter the stage."
Bella smiled and nodded, following her. Let the games begin she thought.
It was 4.30 pm and Edward was at the immigration point in Chicago. Edward sighed and wondered why he had promised his mother he would fly to Chicago for his summer vacation. As he stood in line, he noticed a couple of girls staring at him; well he can't blame himself. He was very good-looking and had a disciplined body. With piercing green emerald eyes,bronze hair and a charming personality, girls were frequently throwing themselves at him.
When it his turn, he smiled his winning smile at the middle-aged lady and she was almost out of breath. Finally, he was out of the immigration point and went through the gate to meet his mother. Edward's mother ;Mona, had short black Victoria Beckham kind of hair. She was a petite lady and wore only black clothes from LV & Chanel.
Edward walked over to his mother and gave her a hug. She said brightly "Sweetheart, it's so good to see you again." He pulled away and faked a smile "Yes mother, it's so good to see you again!"
Mona added "Well enough talking. Let's get you home, you must be exhausted." Edward followed his mother to the front of the airport and a black LS 600 came into view. Jenson, their butler came, greeted them and took Edward's luggage.
He got into the car and took out his I Pod and listened to "As long as you love me" by The Backstreet Boys. When it came to the chorus, he closed his eyes and listened closely to every sentence:
Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine,
I'm leaving my life in your hands.
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind,
Risking it all in a glance.
How you got me blinded is still a mystery,
I can't get you of out my head.
I don't' care who you are,
Where you're from,
What you did,
As long as you love me.
I don't care who you are,
Where you're from,
What you did,
As long as you love me...
Edward didn't know why, but every time he listened to that song, he always felt happy. This was because he knew that someday, there would be someone that would love him for who he was and not who his parent's were.
He removed his headphones and looked out the window. The car passed many buildings, buildings that were all unfamiliar to him. I mean you can't blame him, he hasn't been here for 8 years. They passed by a park that Edward would recognize till the day he dies; the park that brought him many wonderful memories of all his friends, real friends that he had before his grandfather died and him inheriting over 2 billion dollars worth of property and money at the age of 15. That inheritance had caused him to loose all his real friends and all happiness in his life. Since he inherited the empire, he had to learn at a young age on how to handle his grandfather's company. So right now, he was a 23 year-old Billionaire with a high status and authority. On top of all that, he's a good-looking guy that has the most terrific body ever. He asks himself this : Do people like him for what he is, or who he is...
He has never met anyone who could be his match... But will he or not??
Bella was done with her interview, and was already at her apartment at Astor Street along Chicago's Gold Coast. As she keyed in the password to her door, she decided to go for a jog down at the nearby park. She walked inside and closed the door. Walked into her room and went into her closet. She picked up a white Addidas tank top that showed all her curves and a pair of black ¾ running pants. She topped it of with tying her hair with a purple rubber band and black running shoes.
She grabbed her bag containing her Phone, wallet, deodorant, towel and a bottle of water. She grabbed her car keys and headed for the car park. She entered the lift and there was a very good-looking man in it. From what Bella could tell, he had bright green eyes, light brown hair and was dressed like her ready for a run, wearing a white wife-beater and black running pants, holding a water bottle and a black I Pod in both hands. When she entered, he smiled and showed a set of perfect teeth. She smiled back and wanted to press the button to the car park but saw he had already done so. She thought to herself; Must be a player...
She was pulled out of thought when someone tapped her on her shoulders, sending shivers down her spine. She then realized that it was the gorgeous man that was calling her. She looked up and she said "Umm...yes?" She wanted to smack herself, that was all she could say? The man then opened his mouth and said "Um, we've reached the car park." I nodded and thanked him and walked to my car. He had the most appealing voice a man could have. She swore that she could listen to him all day.
Bella opened her bag to look for her car keys. She unlocked her Black Porsche Cayanne and slipped inside. As she slipped in her Bon Jovi CD , she noticed that good-looking man was slipping into a red Ferrari. Wow, I thought my grandfather was rich, check out that guy, rich, handsome and charming. His girlfriend is damn lucky. Bella shrugged and started the car, stepping on the accelerator and got out of the car park. She waved to the guards and looked into my rear mirror and saw the red Ferrari. She started to make my way to her favorite park; Palm Gardens. Bella's been going there ever since she shifted to her apartment about 4 years ago. Of course before she turned 21, her grandfather sent my nanny to "look after "her. That was an excuse to make sure she didn't bring any boys home. Bella loved that park, it was very private. This was because if you didn't stay around this area, you wouldn't be able to find it. Why? That's because the whole park was surrounded by incredibly tall bushes and you could only go in by this small, narrow pathway for cars. But how did Bella find out? Well, she owns it. Technically she didn't decide to build it. But ever since she took over the company, it became hers. She turned into the narrow drive way, went into the open-spaced car-park. When she looked at her rear-mirror, she spotted the Red Ferrari. Ok, weird much? I mean how did that guy know the existence of this park? Cameron parked her car, got off, and started to take out her I Pod, turned on the music, and started her jog.
Not so far away, Edward was also parking his car and taking out his I Pod. He waited for that beautiful brown-haired girl to run first, he didn't want her to feel as if he was stalking her.
EPOV:
Ok, so I just got back from Washington, found out I have an apartment at Astor Street, have a Red Ferrari and met the most beautiful and cutest girl I've ever met. I also can't believe that she lives just downstairs and she knows about this park. But to be honest, I don't want to have anything to do with her. Well, not that I'm not attracted to her or anything. But I just want to settle the company's things in Singapore and don't want anything or anyone tying me down.
As I got off my car, had a sip of water, I turned on my I Pod and started my jog. Hah... just as I remembered. This park hasn't changed one bit. There's still the big Oak tree next to the bench, the old wooden swing that I was small enough to swing on. This place makes me feel happy, relaxed. As I jogged further, I noticed a little girl, not more than 4, sitting on the bench, crying, with that brown-haired girl coaxing her. But it didn't seem to be working. Should I, or should I not? I mean I want to calm the girl down and also to find a way to talk to that girl. Ok, I'll do it.
So I jogged over there and pulled out a sweet from my pocket, waved it in front of the girl's face and asked "Do you want this sweet little girl?" The 2 females looked up and I winked at the brown-haired girl, she nodded to let me go on. The little girl nodded her head and I continued "If you tell me and this lady... here why you're crying... I might give it to you. Is that a deal?" I extended my hand so she could shake it and she said in a very soft and British accent, "I...I... can't find my mommy. She said she was going to wait for me here I play on the playground. But she's not here." I nodded and looked at the brown-haired girl. She opened her small mouth and said "Well, how about we call your mommy? Do you know her number?" She said as she took out her phone. The girl shook her head and then she looked up and got down from the bench. She was running towards a middle-aged women and hugged her. Mission accomplished. She waved towards us and the mother smiled at us with gratitude. We watched them walk away and I turned to the brown-haired girl.
I smiled at her and said "What a coincidence." She laughed and replied "Yeah, smart thinking with the sweet technique." I was dazzled by the sweetness of her voice that I forgot she was speaking to me. I thanked her and continued "So, do you come here often?" She nodded and replied "Yeah, I guess you could say that. About thrice a week. Did you just move to our Condo? 'Cos I've never seen you before? I'm Bella by the way." So her name was Bella...
I smiled at her and replied "I'm Edward. I just moved in a few days ago." She nodded and shrugged "Well, I got to go for my run. I'll see you around." With that, she jogged off and I just stood there, speechless.
