Summary:

Bella looked beautiful in a flowing white lace gown, and a bright smile on her face as she walked down the aisle to say yes to Edward.

This arranged marriage was exactly what she dreamed of, or was it? Was it just as fake as the smile plastered on her face when she said "I do"?

Will there ever be love or just another bitter compromise to keep others happy? Angst/Drama/Humor/Love

It was time to say goodbye to her parents as she was about to leave with her new husband and her in-laws. She felt tears prickling her eyes as she looked back at the face of her mother and father. 'I will not cry. This is not supposed to be a sad occasion!!' she thought and hugged her mother, René.

René or Reena, as she was known back home in India, was a loving mother to Bella. René met Charlie when she was in Seattle for her education. They fell in love and married soon after. Marrying for love was something that was not very common in an Indian family in the 80s. Even more uncommon was the fact that René married Charlie who was not Indian to begin with. What made it even more difficult for her back home was that René was pregnant before they took their wows and had a shotgun wedding...

"Bell?" Charlie called out to her as he lightly touched her shoulder. "Don't you forget me Bella". Charlie meant to sound it as a joke, but his strangled voice gave him away.

"Daddy!! I will miss you so much daddy!!" said Bella as she choked back her tears again as she looked up at her father. Charlie just hugged her and nodded.

Charlie was the Chief of Police in Forks, a small town in Washington. He loved Bella from the day she was born. René used to send Bella to stay with Charlie every vacation since she was 5 years old. Charlie never really got much time with Bella after his divorce. It was only when Bella was 17 that she moved in with Charlie.

It felt like a bitter sweet moment when Bella, his little baby girl was already 24 and getting married today..

This was the happiest moment for Charlie and René. Edward and his family were very good people and they knew Bella would be well cared for and loved there.

Bella also felt that an Indian arranged marriage would be the best for her. Bella had strongly believed this, till today.

As they were about to leave, Bella couldn't help feel excited and scared. When she slid in the car next to Edward, expecting to be comforted by Edward. He did no such thing.

He looked at her but his face gave nothing away.

"Let's go, Riley." Edward said gruffly to his driver as they drove away..

No sign of love.. No passionate kisses.. No dreamy words. He did not hold her hand as she sat next to him. He didn't even turn to see as her eyes brimmed with tears and flew freely. Her heart felt pain and she felt helpless like never before...

This was not supposed to be how a newly wed felt.. And this was not the man she agreed to marry...

Sorry, this is a bit of a starter for now. you will soon understand why they were married and why she will not escape ever.

Is Edward really bad? Or that heartless?? Can he not see his new Bride cry?? Why did he not feel for her?? How could they start their life with a dead marriage??

More to come... Keep msging and give me your reviews!! Love..

Love,

Jupi.
