Chapter Eleven
The next few weeks passed in much the same way. Work was brutal but Bella was thriving. She came back to her hotel, night after night, emotionally exhausted but immensely proud of her achievements. She felt like she was growing into the woman she should be on the set of Endure.
Edward's behavior had been much the same. He'd made snide comments about her acting capabilities, taken his frustrations out on the crew and basically acted like he owned the place and that everyone should be honored to be working with him.
Bella was also beginning to notice that she wasn't as invisible as she had once been. While surfing the internet during some much needed down time, she stumbled across a blog with photos of both her and Edward going to and from the hotel.
She spent a good half an hour searching all the pictures on the website, spotting only a few of herself, not in the least bit surprised that Edward dominated the gossip pages. She finally succumbed to the curiosity and entered her name into a search engine.
Isabella Swan.
Immediately she had over one million hits, the first was the official website for the film. She clicked the link and scrolled down the page.
Joining the Oscar winning cast is Isabella Swan. The twenty-one year old actress is making her debut in the film Endure. She will be working alongside Academy award winner Edward Cullen, best known for his roles in Beneath my Wings, Framed and The Tin Boat.
Below the short article was Bella's promotional head shot that she'd been sending to casting directors for almost three years and beside that were several shots of Edward; photo shoots and paparazzi images.
She shut the laptop down and leaned back slightly in her chair, her heart beating fast and a nervous flutter taking over in her stomach.
This is it, she thought to herself, the beginning of my career.
