BELLA’s POVAs I walked into the living room, I spotted Noah sitting on the couch, fully immersed in a video game. I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I should interrupt him or simply turn away and leave him to his own devices. But before I could make up my mind, he noticed me and called me back. "Hey, Bella! Come join me," he said with a grin, patting the spot next to him on the couch. I contemplated for a moment, not entirely comfortable with the idea of playing video games, but then I thought, why not? It could be a fun way to bond with Aaron's brother. Although I knew I ought to be staying far away from him. I couldn’t help it though. He looked harmless and very cheerful.Besides, it was better than sitting alone in my room feeling homesick. "Sure, why not?" I replied with a smile, taking a seat beside him. I glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already 6 pm. Time had flown by, and I hadn't even noticed. Noah mentioned a charity gala and asked if I was going wit
BELLA’s POVOkay I could sense that these two were about to start a verbal exchange and I didn’t really want that. “Bella,come with me,” Aaron suddenly said and pulled me by the wrist into his room.When the door was locked he turned to me coldly.“I clearly gave you an instruction to stay away from Noah but you just wouldn’t listen would you?” “It was a mere coincidence,Aaron. I just was bored of sitting in the room all day.” “There is a television right here,Bella. You have a phone and there’s a laptop right here. And there’s a big library containing as much books as you want to read down the hall. You just don’t have to read them sitting next to Noah and chatting with him while he plays games.” I sighed,not having the energy to argue.“Yes,fine. Whatever.” He looked at me for a moment and then threw a bag at me which I caught just in time. “Why don’t you take a look?” He crossed his arms as he stared at me some more. Inside was a stunning black shimmery dress that looked like

BELLA’s POVThe excitement bubbled inside me as I sat beside Aaron in the white limo. But I was also nervous as hell hoping not to make a fool of myself. Aaron’s family rode in the black limo on their way to the glamorous event as well. Aaron hadn’t said a word to me throughout the whole drive. He was back to being grumpy again. He didn’t even tell me for once that I looked beautiful when he came into the room. He just said we were late and needed to go now. Jerk. Noah had given me a warm smile but of course he couldn’t give me a compliment before World War III broke out. Courtney had pretended that I didn’t exist while Aaron’s parents just nodded their heads in approval. Oh well,it wasn’t so bad after all. I just needed tonight to be done and over with. We arrived at the venue, my breath caught in my throat at the sight that greeted us. The place was magnificent, with grand chandeliers and opulent decorations. The red carpet was lined with photographers and reporters, eager
BELLA’s POVI was more than excited to have arrived at my mother’s house. She and MaryJane were waiting for me and I couldn’t wait to hug the both of them very tightly. I pushed the door open and it revealed my mom and MaryJane standing there with wide smiles on their faces. Without a second thought, I threw my arms around them, pulling them into a tight hug. "Mom, MJ, I missed you both so much," I said, my voice a little choked with emotion. "Oh, sweetheart, we missed you too," my mom replied, tears in her eyes as she hugged me back tightly. "You have no idea how much,my darling girl.” Mom looked radiant. Her black hair showing some signs of grey at the temple was carefully brushed into a low bun. And although she had lost a lot of weight,she still managed to look fresh. MaryJane also hugged me tightly, her voice filled with emotion. "We've been thinking of you every day," she said, her voice shaky.”It feels like it has been an eternity. Come tell us everything right now. How i
BELLA’s POV“What’s going on in here?” Aaron asked,his voice clearly irritated. Immediately I pulled myself away from Ryan’s grip. Ryan looked taken aback by Aaron's sudden appearance, , " I just wanted to talk to Bella. What are you doing here yourself?” Aaron's eyes narrowed, and he took a step closer to Ryan, his presence intimidating. "She is my wife. Who are you supposed to be exactly?” “Well I was her boyfriend—-“ “You’re the ex?” “Well..for now.” “Are you joking? haven’t you noticed? Also,Bella has moved on, and you need to respect that." “That’s what I don’t understand,” Ryan frowned.”How did you two get married so quickly? Bella was mine and then all of a sudden—“ “She became mine.” Aaron interrupted and the turned to me.”You told me you were visting your mom and best friend, how did he end up in here Huh?” I tried to intervene, feeling a mix of embarrassment and frustration. "Aaron, he just showed up unexpectedly," I said, trying to explain. But Aaron wasn't having
BELLA’s POV The plane glided through the skies, each passing minute bringing us closer to our destination. I glanced over at Aaron, we had barely spoken two words throughout the whole trip.There was still a little awkwardness after the mess Ryan had created yesterday.Ryan just didn’t know how to give up did he? As the wheels of the plane touched the tarmac, my heart raced with excitement.The Maldives, a paradise of turquoise waters and pristine beaches, awaited us. It almost seemed like it was happening to someone else and not me. Never in a million years did I dream of actually stepping foot in a place like that. With a graceful descent, the aircraft came to a halt, and we retrieved our belongings before making our way down the aisle and onto the gangway. Stepping onto the tropical soil, a warm breeze greeted us, carrying the scent of saltwater and exotic blooms. We were swiftly led to a luxurious resort that screamed exuberance.The staff, attentive and courteous, guided us
