"Oh, I'm totally fine with that." Rosalie said.

I couldn't believe she was saying that she was okay with my brother sleeping around!

"How can you say that?" I asked with disbelief.

"Isabella, believe me, we're really happy!" she said, "I'm his wife and his flings are not! They didn't matter at all! If some distraction helps keep the marriage life happy, then why not? This is very common in our society, much more common than you think! And sometimes I also get to have fun, you know?" She winked, "It keeps the marriage spicy!"

I thought that was very common and I'd also be fine with that, but something had changed drastically.

Why did I start liking Edward? Now I wouldn't be able to deal with it even if he was just having a casual sex with anybody!

His smile in those pics was still haunting me!

He was so happy with that... Angela, and well, I didn't like that!

Everything fucking hurt!

How could he be in love with her though? They seemed so different! But well, as they said, opposites do attract, so who knows!

He said he hadn't met her for four years, but when I had asked him if he still loved her, he said 'he didn't know'! Well, that could mean only one thing - He still loved her, but didn't want to tell me about it!

And hadn't he defined the boundaries pretty clearly? He had mentioned all the conditions before getting married, but he never even mentioned her name because she was so special to him? Maybe he thought I had no right to know about her?

Why did I try to make a fool of myself by asking him all those questions?

I should have stayed within my limit.

He was right - I was Mrs. Cullen and she was not! That should be enough for me, but apparently, it was not.

It shouldn't have bothered me whoever he was in love with!

He seemed pretty distracted yesterday. It's like he almost didn't want me to go out last evening. Was it because he was mad at me because he thought I had spoiled his weekend by creating this drama? Maybe he thought it wasn't fair that I was going out to have fun while he stayed at home? But I was just trying to keep myself busy and distracted!

I could have given him clarifications, but I wasn't sure what exactly I should tell him, so I had kept quiet!


"Dad, let her lead this." Emmett said.

"No, I want to earn it!" I snapped, "I don't understand why I'm not able to earn your trust."

"How many times do we need to discuss it?" Dad said, "Emmett is the face of Swan Inc. You need to accept it."

"I never said I don't want to accept it." I said, "But you don't even give me a chance on the projects where I have put my heart and soul!"

"I really don't have time for this," he said.

"You know what? I'm just leaving. I think you and your son can manage everything without me for a day." I said and stormed off from there.

I was fed up. I was working so hard between juggling my responsibilities here and also as a board member at Cullen Inc. But nothing seemed to be working in my favor.

My personal life sucked.

My professional life also sucked.

I guess today was just one of those days when I couldn't appreciate anything about how privileged I was!

My life just sucked!
