Chapter 11

BPOV

I can't believe Ed's gone, Bella thought as she sat crying in her living room. I can't believe he lied to me. Why would he lie to me about his name? And who was that that just drove off in his truck? I hope that was one of his sons. He was beautiful to look at, that's for sure.

Ring, ring

"Now what?" Bella grumbled as she reached for the phone. "Hello"

"Hello, my name is Angela Webber; I'm trying to reach Isabella Swan."

"This is Isabella Swan, what can I do for you?" Bella asked, not having a clue who this woman was or what she wanted.

"Well Ms. Swan, I work for Cheney, Yorkie and Mallory Law Firm. We represent Carlysle Cullen's estate and we need to find out if you will be available for the reading of his will tomorrow," Angela said.

"I'm sorry, who is Carlysle Cullen and why do I need to be present when his will is read?" Bella asked.

"Well Ms. Swan you are needed because you are named in Mr. Cullen's will. The family would like to have it in our office immediately following his funeral tomorrow."

"Oh my God, you're talking about Ed!?" Bella gasped. "When and where is the funeral and where is your office?" Bella asked. This name thing is so confusing, thought Bella.

"The funeral I'm afraid is private, family only, but our office is at 231 Dusk Drive in Seattle, and they were hoping to have the reading at 2:30 if that works for you."

"Ok, I'll be there, thank you." Bella said before hanging up her phone.

I can't believe he lied to me about his first name too. I still wish I could go to his funeral, I may not have known his real name, but I knew the real person. I miss him so much, Bella thought as she started getting a bag together to go to Seattle in the morning.

"I guess I should be extra thankful to whoever fixed you or I would be taking the bus to Seattle right now" Bella said to her truck. Now I just need to find this address and get this over with, she thought sadly.

Entering the office building, Bella was not prepared for anything, but she took a deep breath and approached the receptionist anyway.

"May I help you?" asked the pretty brunette behind the desk.

"I'm Bella Swan, I was asked to be here for the reading of Ed, um I mean Carlysle Cullen's will?" Bella said making it sound like a question.

"Of course Miss Swan, I'm Angela, we spoke on the phone, and everyone is waiting in the conference room. Follow me and this can get started." Angela said as she led Bella down the hallway and into an already crowded room.

"Mr. Cheney, this is Isabella Swan, I believe that is everyone we were expecting." Angela said before leaving the room and closing the door.

"Miss Swan, welcome, please have a seat and we will get started," said the man sitting at the head of the table.

Taking a seat away from everyone else, Bella started looking at the other six people in the room. They were all beautiful and she couldn't help but feel their eyes glaring at her. She also couldn't help but notice the same man that was at her house yesterday driving away with Ed's truck. I really wish I knew what was going on and what you got me into Ed, Bella thought.

"I'd like to start by offering all of you my condolences. Carlysle was a great man and a great friend. He will be missed. Carlysle came to my office back in July and made some changes to his will so…"

"What?" asked the beautiful petite redhead sounding shocked.

"Why would he do that?" the blonde woman said.

"What was he thinking?" Said the tiny brunette all at the same time.

"As I was saying, he came to me to change his will so everything should be up to date and accurate to his wishes," Mr. Cheney said ignoring the women's outbursts and picking up the document to read. "I, Carlysle Cullen, being of sound mind and body bequeath the following items…to my beloved wife Esme Cullen, I leave our Seattle estate. I also leave the monetary amount of fifty million dollars. To my sons Emmett and Jasper Cullen, I ask that you remain in your current positions at Cullen International; your positions there will be secured and only terminated at your own requests. In addition to the trusts you received at the time of your weddings I leave you an additional five million dollars each. I also leave you each five shares of stock in Cullen International to give you a total of ten shares each." At this point Mr. Cheney took a breath and looked up to see the reaction in the room, he knew what was still to come and wanted to gauge the room before finishing with the changes that Carlysle had made to the will.

Bella was shocked to see the smug looks that were on the younger women's faces. They looked like they had won the lottery, which in a way they seemed to have done. They also seemed to believe the reading was finished and their husbands came out with more than their brother in law. I can't believe the kind of money these people are talking about. They are throwing around the word million like it was nothing and no one other than I am surprised. This is crazy! I guess Ed was keeping more from me than his real name, will this ever make sense?

Clearing his throat Mr. Cheney began to read again, "To my son, Edward Cullen, I also leave you secure in your position at the Chicago branch of Cullen International, as well as an additional ten shares of stock, bringing your ownership to twenty shares total. You also can leave this position, but that is the only way that it will be terminated. I also leave you the monetary amount of twenty million dollars and I have left a trust in the amount of fifty million dollars for you to be given on your wedding day or on your thirty-fifth birthday, whichever comes first."

"That can't be right!" the little brunette started yelling. "Why would he give Edward so much more? Jasper should be running the Chicago office and he should be getting more shares. Carlysle was obviously NOT in his right mind when he did this, what on earth was he thinking? And, what about the rest of the money what is happening with the rest, there are billions still?"

"Why would Jasper deserve it Alice, Emmett is the first born and legitimate heir he should be getting the most in all of this?" Rosalie argued.

"Ladies!" Mr. Cheney yelled trying to regain control of the room. "I am not finished and you both need to show some respect and control yourselves. Now, if you would be so kind as to allow me to continue?" He asked with a look that at least made the women look ashamed. "And last, but not least, to my dear, dear friend Isabella Swan I offer an apology first. Bella I have left you a letter explaining my actions that I hope you will take the time to read. You have become like a daughter to me and I care very much for you, which is why I have included you in my will." This caused a few gasps as well as shocked looks on the faces of the others in the room. "I hope you are sitting down because I know how you feel about money my dear. To Isabella Swan I leave the remainder of my worldly possessions, to include my estates in Malibu, my condo in Manhattan, and my villa in Tuscany. This also includes my car collection that has an inventory of twenty-seven cars, all of which I know you will appreciate. I know that you are still looking into what you want to do with the rest of your life so while you are figuring that out I am leaving you the remaining sixty shares of stock in Cullen International. This makes you the controlling stockholder and means that you are in controlling interest in my company. I know you will take great care to learn the business and keep it profitable. I also leave you a monetary amount of just over three billion dollars at the time of the signing of this will," and with that Mr. Cheney finished reading.

"Ok, that's funny Ben, now read the real will! And really, he wants us to believe this little slut is just his friend, or excuse me, daughter. We all know that Carlysle only saw women for one thing!" demanded the very large man sitting next to the beautiful blonde.

"Emmett that is the real will on file. As I said earlier, Carlysle came to my office in July and made these changes," Mr. Cheney responded.

"No fucking way!" Emmett continued.

"That can't be right," said the blonde at his side.

"There has to be some mistake!" said the other young woman in the room.

Everyone was talking at once and Bella was just stunned, she couldn't think straight. I guess I know why he lied about his identity now. And why would that man say that about me and Ed, we really were just friends? Bella thought.
