Chapter -10
When I returned from California, I found out that by accident Jasper had found out about the truth about Edward and my marriage. He was angry at his brother for using me. I think he was just using me as an excuse to hate his brother some more. It all seemed so messed up. I just wanted to go back to my previous life where there was no Edward, no Tanya and no feelings.
A few days later, I decided to visit the hotel where I used to work. Meeting with my ex-colleagues was stress free. I could feel myself relaxing and smiling more. I was coming down the back stairs where I saw Alice was sitting on the stairs and crying.
"Alice?" I called. I approached her "Are you alright?! Did you have a fight with Jasper?"
At first she glared at me as she stood up, and then suddenly she slapped me. I think I saw stars. I couldn't understand why she would do that. "I never saw someone so shameless like you!" she spat out.
"Alice, what are talking about?" I asked as I rubbed my face. I could feel it bruising already.
"Even though I never liked you, I never could imagine that you were so wicked." She accused "You talk big in front of me….showing me how much you care for me… but behind my back you seduce my fiancé?!" She yelled.
"I really don't know what you are talking about...I seduced Jasper...my own brother-in-law. Are you crazy?" I was horrified at her accusation.
It's like she couldn't hear me at all and she kept saying things like how at first I seduced Edward and now that he wasn't Chairman anymore, I'm seducing Jasper. I didn't understand why she would ever think like that. "I'm warning you. Jasper is mine. Don't' even think about stealing him from me."
I sighed, knowing nothing can make her realize her mistake until she calmed down. "Alice, I always respected you as Jasper's Fiancée. I hope you'll also trust your fiancé. The only relation I have with him is that he's my brother-in-law and a good friend. Nothing more, nothing less." I tried to explain.
"DON'T LIE TO ME!" She shouted. "I saw your photos in his phone." She stated.
"It was taken that day in the amusement park. He wanted to send them to Edward. You met us there that day, remember?" I try to explain.
"You think, I'll believe your lies? Bella, I really underestimated you. You look so plain and yet you managed to wrap both Cullen brothers around your finger." She growled.
"You know what? Keep thinking what you want. I'm done trying to explain. You have a dirty mind, Ms. Alice and you think, like you everyone is dirty too. I know my conscious is clear. There is no reason for me to stay here and let you insult me anymore." I spat at her angrily and tuned to go down the stairs, when Alice gripped my hand from behind.
"Now wait a minute. I'm not done talking to you. You can't go like this." She shrieked.
"Alice, let me go." I yelled, trying to get her hands off of me, but she just wouldn't let go.
"No tell me the truth first!" she was acting crazy.
I just wanted to go home and away from her, so without thinking about consequences, I snatched my arm away from her grip. But my legs slipped, and before I knew, I was falling down the stairs.

Last thing I remember was the searing pain in my abdomen.

I opened my eyes and I found myself in my childhood home in Forks. There was a pretty little girl playing by my side. "Hello?" I smiled at her.
"Hi mommy." She beamed at me.
"Are you my baby girl?" I asked her.
She nodded grinning. "I have to go now, mommy. It's time." She stated tilting her head as she stood up from her place and started heading for the door.
"Going?! Where are you going?! Baby? Don't go! Don't leave your mommy…..noo!" and everything went blank.

Next time when I opened my eyes, I found everyone was waiting for me in a hospital room; my in-laws, my Dad and Billy. Jasper was angry as he thought Alice had pushed me down but I told him that I just slipped, it wasn't her fault. They looked sad for some reason. When I tried to tell them that I wasn't hurt much, my dad could bear it anymore and told me the truth.
I had lost my baby….my little girl. In a matter of few days, I've lost everything. My husband and our baby.
The next 30 hours of my life was filled with lots of decisions. It was time that I start thinking about myself. I couldn't wait for someone, who clearly belonged to someone else. By the time, Edward learned about accident, I had already told everyone the truth about our marriage. Though it was hard to go away from him, when he was apologizing for not being there for me, I held strong. I had realized that I deserved better too. It was Jasper who dropped me off.
I had started living in my old studio apartment again. Since I didn't have a job at that moment, I started volunteering at the orphanage full time again. A few days later, Edward arrived at my door, with the divorce papers we had signed during our wedding. He tore those papers in pieces and claimed he wanted to start real; give our love a chance. But I knew, he can't give us any chance as long as he thinks Tanya as his priority. And Anthony deserved his father.
For the first time that day, Edward left from my door with a broken heart.

A few days later, we bumped into him again. I was in the hospital for a final check u. I was looking down at the prescription at my hand, when I bumped into someone. I looked up to find Edward. We both wanted to say a lot of things to each other but neither said a thing. Looking behind him, I saw he was there with Tanya, and I left from there. I heard him calling my name but I could make myself turn around to look at him. It's like my heart broke some more.
Two weeks passed by without any news from him. I thought I can finally go on acting like he never existed. But then, came a surprising phone call. No it was NOT from Edward, my husband. It's from Edward and Jasper Cullen, Director and Chairman of Cullen Enterprise. They, very formally, requested my presence. When I arrived at Jasper's cabin, I found both brothers looking utterly stressed out. When I asked them what was the problem, they told me something shocking.
Apparently, since Jasper broke his engagement with Alice, her father got angry and forbid the place that was delivering foods for Cullen Enterprise's event that was going to happen the next day. So now they didn't have food to serve their guest. And it would take a few days to arrange a new one. Both Edward and Jasper wanted me to Cater for their event and they said they'll draw out a contract and hire me officially for this occasion. After a lot of hesitation, I agree with the condition of them helping me cooking all these foods. They agreed wholeheartedly.

When I had asked those two to help me cooking, I had no idea how much trouble they could get in. They knew almost next to nothing about cooking. All they did successfully was to start a food fight. UGH! THESE TWO! But in the end, we were successful in making the required food. Next morning Edward came with breakfast for me. He said it was a thank you treat. At that moment all I could wish for one more chance to be with him.
The event was at an amusement park and went flawlessly. Everyone loved the food. When asked about it, Jasper and Edward boosted about my culinary expertise. Media went crazy about it.
After the guests start mingling among each other, I saw Edward approaching me. I offered him a polite smile. He returned it with his own shy smile. As he stepped close, he asked "Sooo…did you like this place?"
"It's amazing…but why did you decided to have this event in an amusement park?" I asked.
"You remember telling me how you didn't get to go to an amusement park for some pen-friend and how last time you didn't come when I arranged for it?" at my nod, he added "so I thought it was the best way to get you here…with me."
"Thank you." I whispered, touched that he remembered this about me.
"If you think even for a second that I'm going to let you go that easily, than you're crazy. I own go down without a fight." He stated seriously "I backed off to give you some space but do not for a moment think that I don't love you. I never stopped loving you. I know it was my fault. I screwed up my priorities; I went about us the wrong way. So, I have decided to start from the beginning. I'm wooing you." He said shrugging.
Tears overflowed my eyes as I looked deep in his eyes and found a place for me in there. I didn't have words to say after this, so I hugged him tightly to myself.
