Chapter 10

Edward picks a stone, breaks in the window of Belke and gets inside. He looks around, "this is where you spent my 5 crores? I must get it back."

Eleazar looks at the papers. Rose is going out for some party wearing jeans and short top. She is talking to someone when Eleazar asks her where she is off to. He looks at her from top to toe. She ends the call. She tells her father there is a house party at her friend's place. He asks about her dress. She calls it fashion, "I wont go in party wearing salwar-kameez." He points at the odd time. She reminds him that he only said no one should take Jake or Bella's name in the house, "What are you hinting at then?" She turns to go but Eleazar does not allow her. He ends up shouting at her, asking her questions and ends up addressing her as Bella. Rose emotionally reminds him she is Rose. Eleazar looks away, "Let's have dinner together." Carmen knows Rose was acting, "Was this the only way to bring him here?" Rose nods. They share an emotional hug.

Carlisle returns home and finds Emmet waiting for him, "You closed the case?" Carlisle nods, "Why keep such cases pending for Cullen's son?" Emmet points out that he is talking about Tanya's case, "I heard you talking to someone about closing the case." Carlisle asks him if he is spying on his father, "Forget what you heard and don't tell anyone about this." Emmet asks him again. Carlisle replies that he is about to become chief justice, "Such scandals aren't good for my image." Emmet is upset that he is still thinking only about himself. Carlisle reasons that he spent 30 years to reach here, "You will understand it the day you will have toiled so much in your life." Emmet refuses to understand anything anymore. Carlisle walks away thinking it is better if he wont understand, "I don't want anyone else to know what happened that night." Emmet too wonders what his father is trying to hide, "I listen to you every time but not today. I will surely find out what happened with Tanya SIL that day."

(With Edward)

Edward walks inside Jake's cabin.

(With Bella)

Bella is talking to Rose. Rose is afraid that father can overhear. Bella says he has a right to be upset, "I hurt him twice. First, I married Jake against his wish and then I refused to come back to Mussorie with him. I decided to handle Jake's company in the end. Tell me honestly if you are taking care of him." Rose assures her that she and alice is making up for 3 of them, "I will trouble him so much that he will not need to go to gym at all." Bella laughs. Rose is happy to hear her laughter, "I was so waiting to hear it. Jake also wanted to see you like that always."

(With Edward)

Edward looks at Jake's portrait hung on the wall. The signatures are of T.C. Initials.

Flashback:
Tanya is making Edward portrait. He is tired of sitting in one place and gets up. He looks at her portrait and appreciates it, "You will become a very famous painter one day." She jokes that she will get good models then. He asks her if she wants that. She denies, "I don't make painting for the world. I only make it for you." She adds her initials under it.

Present:
Edward drops his phone in shock.

Rose encourages Bella to do what she has decided to, "You are doing it for yourself too." They end the call. Bella holds Jake's photo.

Edward is in tears, "This was only mine, right? You gave him my money, my moments, my memories, everything! This is where you painted him right? I will destroy the Taj Mahal of cheating right away." He breaks the photo.

Bella agrees to piece all the pieces together, "I hope I am able to convince everyone tomorrow and we are able to bring the company at the right place soon." She recalls Jake telling her once that this company is like his baby and is close to him just like she is, "I know what this company means to you. I will make sure it reaches the heights it deserves!"

Edward looks at Bella's photo, "You are so innocent. This place has mementos of my wife in every corner yet you are overlooking it. No problem, there will be punishment now that the mistake has been committed! You will be punished for your blind trust and blind love!"

Next morning, Bella gets up hurriedly. She thinks of her father's advice and picks at Jake's photo, "What was about to go wrong has already happened. Now I have your memories. Whatever happens now will be good only!"

Edward is exercising. His thoughts keep going back to what he had found yesterday, "My darling wife Tanya and her darling boyfriend Jake, his darling wife Bella, you guys have messed up as much as you wanted to. It is time to clean up the mess!"

Bella greets Sue, "It is my first day in Jake's office. I need your blessings." She touches her feet but Sue walks away, "I have told you not to call me MIL many times. Don't act to be a nice DIL." Leah also reminds her to talk nicely to SIL. She tells Bella not to take it to her heart and gives sweetened curd to Bella. She offers car keys to Bella to drive but Bella does not know how to drive. Leah agrees to drive and goes out. Bella tells Sue she is sure she will bless her one day if not today, "This is my promise to myself too." Sue asks her if she dint make it too late, "You could have tried all this earlier also. You never tried to talk to me after your marriage. You dint realise we were one family?" Bella stops her, "I wanted to talk to you, explain to you how much I love Jake but you dint even want to hear my voice then. Time has changed now. We are a family and will stay like that only. I cannot disappoint my Jake anymore. I did come late but I have come finally!" Leah finds it too melodramatic and boring. I get so tired! She takes Bella with her.

Renee asks Carlisle if Jasper is going somewhere. Esme is clueless about it, "Both the sons do whatever they like nowadays." Edward greets them. They are surprised to see him all dressed up. Edward seeks Renee blessing, "It is a very important day for me today." Renee takes Tanya's name by mistake. Edward tells her she can take her name now, "I don't have a problem with it anymore." He turns to go when Renee asks him what important work he is referring to. Edward replies that he has decided to not punish himself or anyone after today, "She is anyways no more so what the point is. I will direct it to my motivation. We must find our destinations as per the changes brought in life. I have found it now." He leaves.

Leah drops Bella outside and goes to park the car. She gets on the lift hesitantly. It is about to close when Edward keeps his hand between the doors. Bella is taken aback to see him.
