Chapter 20

Edward's Point of View

I sat studying in my single dorm room. There was so much to cram for the review exam tomorrow. I should have started studying weeks ago.

I tried to focus on reading the complicated words. But I couldn't concentrate. I was feeling too guilty towards Bella.

I knew what I was doing was wrong. I knew that I was being unfair to her.

But I couldn't stop myself. She was so intriguing and addicting. Something about her lured me in…

I'd met Tanya Denali when I'd come back to school from our honeymoon. She was an exchange law student from the University of New York. She was beautiful. She'd caught my eye immediately because she reminded me strongly of Bella.

They looked nothing alike. It was the way she carried herself. She was confident even when she wasn't trying, like Bella. She was intelligent and bright, not to mention kind. She was helpful to anyone who needed assistance, and was welcoming to everyone.

The professor had asked if someone could show her around Harvard. When no one volunteered, too intimidated by her beauty and powerful presence, he'd asked me to give her a tour. Agreeing to his instructions was the first biggest mistake.

Tanya had seemed excited that I was the one to show her around the school.

"It's just amazing," she'd told me as we walked through the hallways after class. "You're the famous Edward Cullen that everyone knows about. I can't believe I'm actually speaking to the youngest son of Cullen Corporations."

At first, I'd felt uncomfortable around her because it felt like she was trying to get me to notice her. But as we began talking, I found that we had many similarities with each other. That had made me curious, and I'd fallen into her trap. By the time I'd realized it, it was too late. She had me wrapped around her finger.

I enjoyed spending time with her. She was intoxicating company, and the more I saw her and inhaled her addicting scent, the more helpless I became. After a few weeks, I realized that her seduction had worked. She'd been trying to ruin my marriage all along.

The first time she'd noticed my wedding ring on my left hand, she had offered me her congratulations. But as time went on, I'd seen her eyes flash every time the sun reflected on the one diamond on the ring. And she seemed more determined to get to me.

Because of her distractions, I'd totally forgotten about Bella. I realized that I hadn't called her in two months. She must be so upset with me.

I reached for my cell phone to call her right now, suddenly finding that I had to hear her voice. My eyes focused on the clock on my desk, and I realized that it was too late. It was already two in the morning. She would be asleep.

I promised myself that I would call her soon as I put away the phone. And besides, her graduation was coming up as well. I would definitely go and see her personally. I would give her a hug and a kiss, and offer her congratulations.

I turned back to the thick book and picked up my pencil. If I wanted to ace that exam tomorrow, I'd better place Bella and Tanya out of my head and start studying.
