chapter two
"Are you Greek? your name doesn't show it"i asked
" You like Greek guys?"he asked i ignored his question.
I asked him how old is he "20"
he looked older than that Bella said "i preferred an older guy"
she felt his disappointment so he asked "Did many answer your announcement other than me?"
"Others didn't care. They thought it a joke. And you don't look like you need the money. Can i ask why you answered it ?"
She felt him get bothered with her question. So she changed the subject and she told him that she wanted him to pretend to be her fiance for one evening.
She notice his confusion and his astonishment so she briefly explained to him her story. He looked very affected by what happened to came form a country that considered the engagement a very story bond between two families and it is very rarely when you broke it up and if you broke it up it is considered an insult to the other said infuriated
"i can't imagine someone would break up with you, you are very beautiful. and your eyes are charming. and you chestnut hair it is like fireworks in it."
and i of course turned red. He continued smiling proudly "No, i don't believe a moron would let you go."
She said bitterly "Even if what you are saying right which is not he give me up.
Do you agree to play the role i offered?"
he asked "How much you are going to pay?"
"500$.Is it enough?"
"Yes, it is enough for role i am going to do."
Bella felt confused. the guy in front her looks like he is from a wealthy family and educated. why does he need the money so she asked him "Are you on vacation in the states?" "No, i am studying at the university here."
"Why do you need 500$?"
"Because my personal allowance ended a long time ago. I am under Financial deficit ,
and i don't dare asking my brother any more money. I done that once, i can't do that again."
"Is it your brother's money?"
"No, it is my money but my brother Edward control it."
"Why is your brother controlling your money? How old is he?"
"30 years old."
"so he is ten years older than age difference isn't that big."
"He is my half brother. Edward's father died when Edward was seven. My dad loved and trusted him to bear the financial responsibilities. He give him the right to control our money if something were to happened to him.
for further clarification he told her about his sister Alice and she is 22 years is studying in university in added "She is in good relation with him because she is very serious about her study,
but she also doesn't do anything to get him mad. My behavior on the other hand are always in focus because my behavior don't pleases him he very tough on me. I thought to be more careful because without Edward's bless i can't get my inheritance when i become twenty one and i would have to wait until i become twenty five."
Bella felt that Edward is being unfair to isn't only stingy, but acting like dictator.
She said "your half brother can't keep you from your inheritance."
"But he can. So i decided to be careful, at least until the end of the next four months when i become 21. My dad left for me and Alice a great wealth. what i can't understand is why Edward acting so stingy with my money. Anyway my brother shouldn't know any wrong behavior i do until my next birthday. I can't live in poverty until i become twenty five years old."
"What about your sister?Does he stingy with her to?"
"She looks content although i think he is stingy with her to."
"Does she have to wait long time to, before she get her money?"
"She won't get it until she is twenty five years old. And he can prevent her from having it until she is thirty."
"Thirty?That is to long."
"That IF she just pissed him off, or done something deserves reproach. but Edward wouldn't delay her inheritance because he think she behave well. In his eyes she doesn't do anything wrong. He doesn't know she..."
He stopped taking when he felt, he is including in the privacy of his family. He said "I don't know why told you all these things. Anyway i don't think you going to meet Edward or Alice one day so it is okay to tell you our secrets. Alice have a poor American boyfriend. And being poor and American would make Edward very mad if he know about it. but Alice acting smartly about it and she wouldn't let him know her secret until she have her money."
Bella felt like she is gossiping with Emmett about their family latest news. Which is totally none of her business. She thought that a young guy and girl who is adult and educated, their life shouldn't depend on the mood of a dictatorial man is not fair. She asked him "Why does your brother don't like Americans?"
"Our cousins married two Americans girls and failed in their marriages. The two girls have an affair on their husbands and their marriages ended with divorce. Edward thinks a lot about our cousins and they are his best friends and he think their marriage failed because they married Americans women. in our country divorce is consider a disgrace and that is what happened in our family."
"So your brother think that all Americans are traitors and not good enough for marriage."
"Yeah,that is what he thinks, and more, he think they are material and gold diggers. Because the two ladies that married our cousins, they were after their's husbands money."
"what happened with your cousins were a coincidence. It can't be that a very American guy and American girl have the same bad characteristic. No one think the same way."
"That is true. But Edward is very stubborn and he doesn't change his opinions easily.
Alice's boyfriend for example if Edward met him, he would have kicked him out immediately,
not only because he is American but because he is poor."
"So your brother think that all the Americans guys to are gold diggers and only married for money."
Bella felt that Emmett started getting bothered with where the conversation is going. She FELT hatred towards Edward which is stranger to her.
Emmett just said "When Alice get her inheritance, she'll be very rich."
And the subject ended at that. She told him the wedding date and place which is after 9 days and the hotel address in Forks.
Bella notice that Emmett is turning red, she waited to hear what he want to say. He said stuttering "Can i...have...the money in advance?"
"You can but what will ensure me that I'll see again?
"I promise you i won't let you down, please believe me."
She stared at him and thought of Edward what would he do if he know Emmett's behavior to have 500$.
She decided to trust Emmett, and she give him the money. On the door saying goodbye he give her a bear hug that knocked the breathe out of her, he thanked her and he said "We'll be going to that wedding to have fun and dance and persuade everyone with our true love."
I laughed and he laughed his loud laughter then he asked "Is forks a big town?"
"Not really"
"Alice has friend there."
"Really."
"Yeah, they met when Alice was here to learn English for a year. This girl goes to Athens once a year in the summer for two weeks. Then Alice spend the rest of the summer with Edward in our home in the island."
"One day you will visit our island, and we will show the Greek hospitality."
Bella laughed at the idea sure that it will never happened "Bye see you next week."
"Bye."
She watched him go thinking how handsome and stylish he was, and proud she is going to feel waking with him in the wedding. Because the point of all that is to keep her head high. No doubt she is going to feel jealous and betrayed and hurt she lost her two best friend and her fiance, Jake and Olivia. But Jacob doesn't deserve the love she feels for him after he hurt her like that. Her brother Mike always warn her from him even after what happened she can't think of anything other than him.
Before Emmett wakes far way she asked "What is the name of your island?"
"Poros."
"I have heard of it."
"Heard of it? you should see it, when you visit Athens, you have to take a boat and visit Poros.
Have you ever visited Athens?"
She shake her head so he said "Everyone should visit Athens. It is the most beautiful city in the world."
"May be I'll in the future."
She waved bye bye FOR HIM and enter the house and closed the door.
As she expected, she came from the wedding as a winner. Everyone liked Emmett, she felt some of them envy her for having such a handsome fiance.
when she introduced him to Jacob and Olivia, she notice that Jacob didn't say a thing. She wondered a couple of times if Jacob and Olivia are really in love or like Mike said that Jacob married Olivia for the money.
She had lots of fun with Emmett, he could be really childish sometimes, he spend most of the time cracking jokes, telling her funny stories.
And She spend most of the time laughing so hard and she even dance a little bite.
