A year ago I had met Isabella's grandmother. Before meeting her, I had completely lost the faith that Isabella and I could ever be together.

Life is too short to live in regrets. She had said. That was a wake up call for me.

I realized Isabella and Carlie were all I wanted in my life, and I had decided to fight for it.

But well, things weren't that easy. She was already dating someone else at that time. Plus, we had had a huge fight a week before I had met her grandmother.

"Actually we've one family function here tonight. I want Carlie to attend it. Do you mind if Carlie can come to you tomorrow?" Isabella asked.

Family function!

She was ridiculous. It was beyond my mind how she could have no problem with her so-called family because of whom everything had happened.

"Your boyfriend is also attending the function?" I asked.

"Excuse me?" she asked surprisingly.

"I don't want Carlie to meet your boyfriends. You know, it can... have a bad effect on her. I don't think you should introduce your boyfriends to Carlie unless you're serious..."

"Mind your business, Mr Edward Cullen." She said, "I know it too well what I should do and what I shouldn't."

"Carlie is my business." I said.

"Same thing applies to you, too. You also shouldn't introduce your girlfriends to her."

"I haven't introduced her to any woman." I snapped.

"Same is the case here." she barked, "Don't tell me what I need to do, understood?"

"Well, I have decided. I'm coming there to bring Carlie today only. I don't want her to attend that bullshit function." I said.

"Fuck yourself, Cullen." she said and the line went dead.
