Where Are You Now

Chapter 7 – Visitor

(BPOV)

Six months have already passed since Gab and I were engaged. We decided to have a summer wedding since I love the sun. Also during summer, I have lots of free time since there are no classes. So it's going to be on the last week of July, just a month away, and I am really excited.

We want the ceremony to start in the late afternoon so that we could see the sunset. That's just so romantic. We have only few guests, some of my friends and my co-teachers in Forks, and Gab's family and friends.

Everything is already set, from the invitations to the reception, which would be in the new house that Gab bought. Yes, he bought a new house for us. The house has two levels, it has five bedrooms, and each room has its own bathroom. The house is so big for just the two of us. This is the first time that he has bought me something so big. I wanted so bad to protest, but I don't want him to feel bad. The house will be for our future family anyway.

I have told him about my past. He wasn't angry at me, he just feels bad for me. He knows that I am an orphan. I thought he would break up with me when I have told him that I already have a daughter but I have no clue where she was. He even said that maybe if my daughter was still with me, he could be a father to her, and we can be a happy family.

I am so lucky that I have found someone like him. He accepted me as I am, and he didn't hate me for my past. I never thought that I could still be happy after all the things that have happened with my life.

I just wish that Rose could be here. But I'm afraid that when I try to contact her, she would be angry at me. It has been almost four years since I have run away from her. I miss my best friend so much.

I don't have a summer job since I have saved enough money for me to survive summer. I realized that I should rest, pamper myself, and relax so that during my wedding day, I do not look like stressed. I just wanted to feel beautiful for my wedding.

I was surfing the net when somebody rang the doorbell.

I placed my laptop on the coffee table, and I opened the door.

There was a tall blonde, blue-eyed guy, and another guy. Wait…the other guy looks familiar. He has that bronze hair and emerald eyes. Emerald's eyes.

OH MY GOD.

IT'S EDWARD!

I closed the door quickly and I locked it.

Yes, I still remember his name. How could I forget the name of the guy who took my V-card and the father of my daughter. But why is he here?

They rang the doorbell again, and they knocked on the door.

"Isabella, please open the door, we will not hurt you," they said, and then they continued knocking.

"Really?" I asked hesitantly.

"Yes, we are not bad people. We are here to help," one of them said, but I'm not sure who.

I unlocked the door, and I slowly opened it.

"Come in," I said.

They stepped inside my house; I led them to the living room and I asked them to sit on the couch, and I sat across them.

I can see that Edward keeps on stealing glances of me, and I blushed involuntarily at the thought. Is he checking me out? Oh my gosh.

"Why are you here and how did you know where I live?" I asked them.

"I am Detective Whitlock, but you can just call me Jasper. I was the one who researched where you live."

I shifted my gaze to Edward.

"Edward, you hired a detective to look for me? Is it because of the…you know? Don't tell me that you are going to kidnap me and make me some sort of a slave," I blurted.

After I have realized what I have said, I covered my mouth quickly and my face heated. Why the hell did I say that? I'm really out of my mind.

"Yes, I've hired a detective to find you, bu—"

"Ohmygosh," I said in a weird speed.

"No, that's not the reason, and that night was just an accident, you know that," he paused when he saw that I was about to open my mouth to say something, "and please let me talk first."

"Okay," I said shyly.

"We know that you are an orphan from Saint Anne orphanage. I just want to say that you are not a real orphan, you are the real daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Swan and we are here to help you to be with them again."

I have parents? If I have parents, why would they leave me in an orphanage? They must hate me, that's why they left me…they threw me away. They hate me so why would I throw myself at them? I'm not that kind of person. If you hate me, then it's fine.

"I have no interest to find them," I said plainly.

"But, I'm sure that they want to see you. They came back for you in the orphanage," Edward insisted.

I laughed coldly.

"They didn't. And what do you know about my life there? What do you know about me?"

Edward huffed, and Jasper has a pained expression on his face.

"Camilla, she told me about you," Edward mumbled.

"Camilla? Why do you know her?" I asked in confusion.

"She is my wife."

"Oh. But how did she know…what's the connection with my parents." My head started to hurt.

"Your parents have mistaken her as you."

"N…no. How?"

"Because of the necklace? I have no clue too," he admitted,

He took a small box from his pocket, and he handed it to me.

I took it and I opened it. A familiar necklace was lying on the box. My necklace…the necklace that I gave to Camilla.

Then many realizations came to my mind.

The inspection during the day when the couple came to the orphanage…the inspection is all about the necklace. They are looking for the girl who owns it. They are looking for me. They are my parents. They did come back to me. But they saw the necklace in Camilla…but she knows that it really belongs to me…why didn't she say it to them? Why did she pretend as me?

All my life, I have lived alone, not knowing that I still have a family. I really thought that she was my best friend. She betrayed me and tricked my parents.

"How could she do that to me?" I asked, trying my best to keep myself together.

"She regrets it, she told me that she wants to apologize for stealing your life and your family," he said quietly.

"Where is she?" I asked, my temper rose.

"She's gone, she died from cancer, and this is her last wish. She wants to correct the mistake that she have done."

I remained silent for a moment, just analyzing everything. Camilla died and she wants me to go back to my parents. So she asked his husband, who happens to be the father of my daughter to find me. He hired a detective to find me, so now they are here to return me to my parents.

Honestly, this all feels like a dream. This is so impossible. My head is pounding now.

"Will you come with us?" Jasper broke the silence.

"Where?" I asked.

"To your parents," Edward answered.

"I don't know…where are they?"

"They are at New York right now, they are at my house. I can call the airport now for the tickets if you want to come. If you're not ready to meet them yet, then we'll just come back when you're ready," Edward answered again.

"I'm ready," I declared.

I'm ready to meet my parents, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to face the life that I have left there. What if Rose is still there? What will she say to me when she finds me? And what will I say to her?

Ugh, I don't know. I'll just go to where the wind takes me.

Suddenly, a question popped in my mind.

Should I tell Edward about Emerald? Does he deserve to know?

He doesn't deserve to know, he left you, remember?

But he is Emerald's father, and he somehow has rights. Maybe I will, but not now.

I was about to tell them that I will just pack my clothes, but Edward's cell phone rang.

He answered it. I heard a loud little girl's squeal.

"DADDYYYYYYYYY!" I heard through his phone.

The voice was really cute.

"Em, please don't shout, you are hurting my ears," he said playfully on the phone.

Then there was a bright smile on his face as he talks to his daughter.

"I'm here at your mom's friend's house. I promise that I will go home soon. I miss you too… what? You want to talk to her? But she doesn't know you…you—"

"I love kids, give me the phone," I said to Edward. Actually, the words slipped without realizing that I said it.

He was hesitant, but he still gave me the phone.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hi! Daddy said that you are mommy's friend." She said cheerfully.

"I am. You're voice is so cute, can I know your name?"

"I'm Emerald."

She is Emerald?
