LOGINHer silky hair was a mess. Her makeup, ruined. Her dress wrinkled like she slept on it. She was there, but her mind, elsewhere. Her eyes went to me. Her lips curled into a lazy smile. In every step she gave, my heart sank thinking she would fall. “What happened to you? Are you okay?” I rushed towards her. Her face twisted with disgust. “Oh, perfect Bella. The golden girl. Always correct. Always the best.” “What…” “Perfect Bella. Has the best grades. She doesn't have to fight to get into college, colleges fight over her.” “Emma, you are drunk.” “Perfect Bella doesn't drink. She is as pure as water. Saint Bella.” Her eyes glinted. “Perfect Bella doesn't sleep with her best friend's husband.” My body froze as a wave of chill ran through my spine. “What… what are you talking about?” She leaned in, her breath thick with alcohol, “Where do you think Marcus is? Why do you think I can barely walk straight? Is it hard to believe he took me and not you to that bad that was supposed to be yours?” My heart clenched. Tears started forming in my eyes. It didn't take long till they gave up to gravity. He… he didn't. We'd promised this morning. He couldn't. “He wouldn't.” ***** It's been a year, but the scars are still there. My past echoing in my head reminding me of everything that happened since that day. Every time I open my eyes in the morning to see... nothing. “You only get hurt by the ones you love the most.” “You only get betrayed by the ones you trust the most.” What happens when these two misbeliefs collide? ***** I hope I wrote this book good enough to make you feel it. Obrigada.☺️

I couldn't hold it longer than that. Not anymore. Not when every cell of my body longed to have her close. Not when she was everything I could see when I closed my eyes. That smile, that kindness, that love. “I love everything about you. So much. Way too much.”“Sir—” “It freaks me out whenever you do that.” My hand went up, setting her braids free the way I like. “You are so beautiful, so cute,” my fingers played across her crimson cheeks, leading to her lips. It's been a while since the last time I kissed someone — five years. “I want to kiss you so badly.” She stood still, unable to move. Until…“Why…. why did you hire me?” She asked. “Why am I here when you treated me like trash that day?” Tears formed in her eyes, glistening till gravity won over them. “Why are you doing this to me? I told you I'd leave—” “I hire
Bella's pov“I'm maybe a lot of things, but… at least I'm better than you.” I said with a plane voice, looking inside her eyes. Ignoring the sudden chill her gaze sent through my spine. “I'll get back now. This is not a conversation for me be to be part of.” I turned to go, but Sarah's tiny hand held me in place. “Can I go with you?” She asked. “I… I don't want to be here.” Her gaze fell down. Tears running like a river. “Baby—” “Why did you leave?” She exploded. “Tell me, please… why… tell me what kind of mother leaves her child… what was it… Wh… what was it more important than me?”The tears never stopped, along with the subs and the deep pain it caused in my heart. My eyes went up to find Edward already looking at us. Pain — that was all I could see in his eyes. I sighed, “Edward, can I take Sarah with me?” He smiled, a painful smile, “Please,” I nodded. Then, I looked at Christine, silently boiling, red with rage as if she was going to eat me alive. “Have a nice day, Chris
Bella's povThe flight was something I couldn't get enough of. Despite my eyes fighting a war to stay open, the view of the world so big, bright — huge buildings made with strength, knowledge, and hard work, was worth the fight. We flew over a tropical place — heat, palm trees, blue ocean surrounding everything with colour, brightness and life. “Wow,” was all I was able to voice out the moment I figured out the place we were about to lean. “This is… Maldives… and I filled my luggage with winter clothes. Great!”Edward chuckled beside me. That innocent face of someone who had never done anything stupid in his life. “Sorry about that. I thought you were smart.” “I'm smart, not a mind reader.” I reasoned. “How was I supposed to know? You gave me no clue. I was sure I would know when we got to the airport. But the genius here got a private plane.”“That makes me the smart one, right?” He grinned, to which I just rolled my eyes, closing every possibility of argument that I knew my mind
“Can you at least tell me the temperature? Is it like hot out there, tropical? I mean, it's autumn… How far is it? How much time will we take to get there? How…”“Bella,” Edward cut in.I averted my eyes from my to do list and looked at him. Calm, relaxed, enjoying a nice cup of coffee like there was no such thing happening. “I need to program myself according to our needs. I need to know what to take, what to make, how, when… and for that I need to know where we're going...” I said, pleading with my eyes when I couldn't find no other way to take it out of him. I'd been doing that since yesterday, but nothing — nothing but that clueless face of his, and that smile I wish I could wipe from it. It was worthless. The secret was locked in seven keys, deep inside his software, protected by an infinite firewall, and a fence full of spikes. “Please, sir…”“Excuse me?” he jolted, dropping his coffee on the table dramatically, and eyeing me like I just committed the worst crime of human his
