Somewhere Love Remains
Chapter Eleven: Freak Out
"No need for revenge. Just sit back and wait. Those who hurt you will eventually screw up themselves."
Three months later…
Every summer vacation, I practically did nothing, but now everything had changed. My free schedule suddenly became hectic because of the wedding preparations.
I hadn't really planned to marry this early, but I involved myself with this. I involved myself to the Hales' business. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to get married to Edward, but not this soon. In another three months, I would be walking down the aisle. I anticipated that day, at the same time, I was scared. I would love to be called Mrs. Cullen, but not the popularity that comes with it.
Even if I didn't want to, I was forced to have bodyguards. They were Emmett and Jacob. At first, it was so awkward being with them, because they were watching my every move. But they also helped me escape paparazzi which were really cool. They were both built and buff that made them a bit scary, but in the inside, they were just goofy boys. I had so much fun with them and they were so nice to talk to.
Jacob was the type of guy that I would love to be a best friend and Emmett was the big brother that I never had. Even if Jake was a guy, I could talk to him about anything and everything. He was a good mechanic too, and he fixed Edward's car once. Speaking of Edward, I had no words to explain how much he hated Jacob. I swear, the first time Edward laid his eyes on him, it was like he was going to kill him. I asked him why he hated Jake, and he wouldn't tell me a reason. A teensy weensy part of me thinks that he was jealous of him. I mean, there was no reason for him to be, but I could somehow feel it. Even if I became too close to Jake in a short span of time, all I felt for him was platonic love.
Today, Alice and I spent hours in her sewing room. I begged her to be the one to make my wedding gown and design the bride's maids' dresses. I am telling you, that girl had pure talent in fashion designing and she was correct with her choice of career. She had finished her sketch of my wedding gown and it looked so gorgeous. It was only simple but very elegant, just the way I wanted it. We wouldn't also be spending much money since we didn't have to hire her. I offered to pay her, but she told me that this would just be her wedding gift to us. She was so nice. My mother was so against this, but it wasn't like she could do anything. Every time that she had something to complain about the wedding, I would ask Esme to talk to her, and things would be done according to how I wanted it. This was mean to say but, I had the Cullens wrapped around my little finger.
The Hales weren't very happy with what was happening, but knowing that what I was doing would still link the companies, they didn't protest much. It was just Rosalie who was bothering me. She hadn't talked to me since I stole her husband-to-be. Her silence was actually scaring me because I know that while she was being like that, she was plotting something big, or even something evil.
(Rosalie's POV)
I knocked three times on Mom and Dad's bedroom door. At the moment, Dad was at the office and Mom was having the day off for the wedding arrangements. I finally found what or should I say who she was looking for or maybe she was hiding to all these years. Time for the truth to prevail.
Last two months, I accidentally stumbled into a document with pictures and papers with information inside. I was looking for a book in the library when a brown envelope accidentally fell. It had pictures and documents about a man named, Charlie Swan. According from the data it contained, my mother was searching for him. It didn't exactly say who he was, but she had detectives looking for him years ago.
I got curious about who he was and why Mom was keeping his documents so I did my, let's just say, 'research'. Last week, I found out that he was my mother's ex-boyfriend. And oh, he was also Bella's real father. Mom had been lying all along to all of us, saying that she had a one nightstand with a stranger. That stranger wasn't really a stranger to her and I believe that what happened wasn't against her will. If she knew who he was, it would be easy for her to track him. We could pay detectives around the globe. Did she keep Bella from him?
I was angry at her, not for myself, but for Bella. It was just recently that I noticed how she was suffering in this mansion. When I saw the difference in her before Edward came to her life and now that he was here, I realized that it was just now that she became happy. I hated to admit it, but I was jealous of her. She got to find her true love, and me, I was left alone. I was supposed to be the one in her place. And then I thought, it was me who my parents always favor; it was me who got what I wanted, who got the love and attention. She deserved happiness too, all people does.
While they were all busy, I took it as an opportunity to work behind their backs. Thank God it was summer vacation and I had loads of free time. I got to work with seven detectives to search for him. I learned that he was staying at Forks, Washington with his wife, Renee Swan and their children. They had two daughters and one son who was currently working here in New York as a bodyguard. I tried to track where his son was working, but it was very confidential and even his name, we couldn't locate it. It would take a family as powerful as ours to be able to keep information like that.
"Mom?" I called.
No answer.
"Mom? Are you there?" I said loudly this time.
Since there was no one answering, I opened the door. Her bedroom was cold and empty. Where was she? She wasn't supposed to leave until lunch.
I let out a defeated sigh. I closed the door again and headed back to my room. Maybe later this night—but Dad was around. The only day that she was here without Dad was on Saturday, two days from now.
"Oh no," I told myself.
I was deep in my own thoughts that I bumped into somebody. The envelope together with its contents fell on the floor. This had to be some maid who bumped me, or else, I'm dead. They couldn't know this before Mom. I should confront her first and know her reasons why she kept something like this from us.
I immediately brought the papers back the envelope with the person helping me. And then I realized who it was. I was gonna be in big trouble.
"Who's this Rose?" Bella asked, holding the picture of Charlie Swan that had fallen on the carpeted floor.
Oh, Bella saw Charlie's pic. What's gonna happen now? Wanna know? Just stick with me. There are like six or seven chapters left.
Comments? Suggestions?
Sorry for the errors.
Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed,

P.S. I won't be updating tomorrow because I will be working with a VA one-shot.
