I can't stay away no matter what…I am a softie.
In important news, Ardor is finally on sale on Amazon under the penname Elena M. Reyes! This is a dream come true for me and I have been on cloud nine since it went live. Thank you to everyone that has gone out and purchased and reviewed the book. There are no words in the English language to describe how amazed I feel by everyone's support.
Twilight isn't mine.
Chapter 19
Edward's POV
My mind has been a jumbled mess since I agreed to take on this final project. It felt wrong, like I was betraying Bella again without meaning too. In the last few weeks I have come to see and understand why my relationship with my family could have come to bother her over the years.
How selfish they had become and how blind I was to it all.
Ben had still to return from his self appointed vacation – midway through a huge contract – with the woman he calls the love of his life. There are no words in any language that could describe the animosity and hurt I feel at his blatant disregard for anyone but himself and the bitch he married.
"Edward I don't recognize you anymore," my mother claimed as we sat down to dinner a few nights ago. "What happened to my selfless boy? You should be happy for him and his wife . . . your brother has been a mess since she left and needs this time to reconcile. He loves her and she him. They want to start a family-"
"Are you fucking kidding me? What about the family my wife – who is completely right in her anger and resentment- are about to have?"
"She chose to leave you, son," my father spoke up, "It's not our fault that she is so selfish and only thinks of herself. Ben needs this time away and I refuse to pull him back because your wife," Aro spat, "is throwing a massive tantrum."
The chair I was sitting on flew back with the force of my shove back from the table.
"You know dad," I spoke between clenched teeth, "You might want to hire someone to take care of the business…because I won't be anymore. So since you refuse to call my precious brother and his bitch back here so we can finish I expect you at the site bright and early starting Monday.
"Edward," my mother's voice pled, but I won't be persuaded.
"Bright and early old man or prepare to be fucked over by my selfish ass. You might as well have a good lawyer on hand because I am not bound to this project . . . I check the contract last night and its not my name signed, but Bens, and I will not take the fall." With that I stormed off and headed toward the only place, other than my home with Bella, which reminded me of home and family.
Hopefully I can begin to make things right with the people that matter.
