For the Love of a Daughter

~ Caught in Act ~

Esme was a very nice woman. She was so motherly, loving and fun to be with. It was like she was born to become a mother. Not only that, she was also so beautiful even for her age. She had caramel brown locks, hazel eyes, and soft cream-colored skin. I would really love her to be my grandmother. I just hope I could tell her soon that I was Edward's daughter.

It was weird wearing a maid uniform. I only see people wear this on TV and I never thought that it was also like this in real life. I hate the color, but I couldn't object. It was a very pale shade of gray and white belt and apron. Even our shoes were uniformed. My schoolmates would surely laugh at me once they knew that I became a made throughout the summer. I was so lucky that I was done with high school and looking forward to college.

My job was not that hard. All I had to do was to fix Esme's things, and then do everything she asks me to do. She don't even treat me as a maid, I feel like she treats me almost as a daughter. It had been a week already since I had started working here at the Cullens. I go home at five, and then go to work at six. Charlie didn't mind me leaving too early because first, I leave him food that he just needed to reheat, and second, I tell him that I was either with the Blacks or with Jessica and her friends. When he finds out about what I'm doing, I bet he would send me home as soon as possible, so I need to be very careful.

Right now, it was my lunch break. I was eating with the other maids who were older than me. Probably I was the youngest here since I was just sixteen. Carmen was the oldest and she was fifty-three. They all know that I was eighteen because of my fake documents. I actually feel guilty about lying to them because they were all so nice to me. Bree had become one of my closest friends here. We just had the same interests and it was like we could talk about endless things. I once invited her to hang out with me and Jake and looks like she had developed a small crush on him since she talks about him often.

"Vanessa, can you bring this to Kylie's room, the one beside Esme and Carlisle's," Carmen said while placing foods on the dining cart.

"Sure, but who is Kylie?" I asked curiously. I already know that Carlisle was Esme's husband, technically my grandfather. I had never met him yet since he was out of the country, but he was going home in three days. Based on what Esme had told me about him, he seem like a good man.

"We forgot to tell you, Kylie is Edward's daughter," Carmen answered.

Just after she said that, I felt like there was a dagger ripping my chest. He has a daughter.

I never guessed that. None of them ever mentioned that Edward was married. Or did they forgot to tell me again?

"So, if Edward has a daughter, where's his wife? I didn't see him with anyone in this house."

"She's long gone. Ran away after giving birth to Kylie, they were never married. I don't like her too, it's good that she stayed away from his life," Carmen said in disgust.

"Oh," was all I said.

"Bring the food now before it gets cold," she told me nicely. I nodded.

I drank a glass of water and then I brought my plate to the sink before heading to Kylie's, my sister's room together with the dining cart. Wow, I actually have a sister. I was so used to live as the only child. I wonder how it would feel to have a sister, someone you could share secrets with, and someone who could be your best-est friend. It sounded thrilling, but impossible too. Even how much excited and thrilled I was in having a sister, I could never introduced me to her as her sister. It was too dangerous.

When I got in front of her door, I knocked three times. She didn't open. Maybe she was asleep.

"Kylie?" I asked loudly. She still didn't answer.

I decided that if the door was open, I'll enter and when it was locked, then I'd go back to the kitchen. Fortunately, it was opened so I entered. Inside, I found Kylie and a boy who was dressing up hurriedly.

"Oh my gosh!" she exclaimed, turning to me.

She was just in a wrinkled short skirt and in her bra, while the boy was pulling down the shirt that he just wore. Kylie hurriedly grabbed her shirt under her bed and she slipped it on. She got something from her bag and then she headed to my direction.

She handed me cash. What the hell?

"Please, just forget what you saw, don't tell anyone here in the house what you saw especially to my father," she pleaded.

"I am just here to bring your food. And don't worry I won't tell them a thing," I told her in a certain way.

She was shocked with my answer. I handed her back her money, left the food and then I left too. My break was almost over. I rushed to the maid quarters so I could brush my teeth and fix my hair. Just as I was about to walk, I phone rang. I looked at it and found out that it was Jake who was calling.

"Hello?" I said as I answered the phone.

"Nessie, emergency! Bella's a few minutes away from your grandfather's house, you need to go home as soon as possible before she finds out about your secret," Jake said hurriedly.

Panic hit me as soon as I heard those words. I needed to make an excuse to go home. I was supposed to go to Esme to the spa this afternoon. So I decided to go to her office downstairs to tell her that I needed to leave. While I was running my way there, I bumped into someone and then I crashed to the floor. That did hurt me…a lot.

"I'm so sorry, I am in a hurry," he said while helping me to get up.

When I was fully on my feet, I realized that it was my father. We only had a few encounters in my stay here because he was mostly out for his work in their company. We hadn't even talked yet. I need to talk to him before I leave Forks and go back to New York for college.

"It's fine. I am in a hurry too. I…uh…will really appreciate it if you could tell Esme that I need to leave because of an emergency," I told him.

"Sure," he said.

"Thank you so much." I gave him a hug which surprised us both. It was the first time that I have ever hugged him and it felt really weird. The only guy that I had ever hugged was my grandfather and Jake. Tears welled up my eyes again as soon as I had realized that. I pulled away from him and thanked him for the last time before leaving.

When I got out, Jake was already there waiting for me. Thank God he had decided to fetch me. As soon as I got inside his car, I realized that I was still in my maid uniform. This was big trouble.

"Jake, I forgot to change," I told him.

"Shi—there is a near convenience store here, I'll bring you there and go change quickly," he said confidently.

"Okay."

Five minutes later, we were already in the convenience store, and I rushed inside with my backpack. When I go inside the store, someone who wasn't supposed to see me saw me. Uh-oh, this was a really BIG trouble.

"Nessie? What are you doing here and why are you wearing that?" my mother asked angrily.

So, what a surprise, right? What will Nessie tell Bella now that she saw her in her uniform?

More than seven reviews in this chap? Thanks!
