No, no, no!

She couldn't leave me just like that!

How could I be so stupid? Why did I say his name? How could I make such a stupid mistake? My plan was pretty clear! I was supposed to exploit Bella to make him realize that I had the upper hand here! Then how could I make such a mistake!

So now he was going to win against me one more time! This was not fair!

"Jazz, are you doing okay? How could she leave like that?" Rosalie arrive after some time. Why the hell was she here? And she had brought Mom with her! Who told her about Bella leaving me?

"Who told you about this?" I asked.

"Bella... She called me to let me know that she had left and you might need me. Are you okay?" she said.

"Are you okay, sweetie?" Mom asked, "I still don't understand what's going on..." she actually seemed very confused!

"Oh, so Bella told you about this," I said, "I guess I was right."

May be it was still not over? May be it wouldn't hurt anyone to put in some more efforts!

"You were right about what?" Rosalie asked.

"She does care for me. She left only because of... Edward." I said, ""He is just... fucking manipulating her! I can't believe my own brother would do this to me!"

"Why would he do that?" Mom asked, "He can't do anything wrong."

"Mom, for God's sake, you need to erase this 'perfect' image of him from your mind! He's not perfect!" Rosalie said with frustration, "If he was, he wouldn't have exploited Bella after Jasper's, you know... death! And just look at him! I end up crying just looking at him! How could he do this to him is beyond my imagination!"

Judging by Mom's expressions, there was a chance that she might believe me for the first time ever! I was her child after all, and that too, a child you had just got back from the claw of death! Yeah, she was going to believe me this time around I guess!

"I don't know..." she said, "What does Bella want?"

"She wants me." I said, "That's why she was with me, but Edward manipulated her. He created some misunderstanding between us and she just left me! You know Bella very well! Do you think she'd leave me in such a condition if not being manipulated?"

"I don't know... I can't understand anything..." She said again.

"Alright, you don't believe me?" I said, "I'll call Dad, and just ask him one question! Did Edward try to sabotage my project in office today or not? You will believe Dad, right? You will get your answer there."
