Bella's pov

The 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

  • The Love I Couldn't See   Make Her See

    Edward's pov“I love it, that confused face, when you get all red.” I pulled her closer, closing the distance between us. “I love you, Bella.” Yes, that's the truth. 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

    “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

    “Was that for me to hear?” He teased me, as if it wasn't enough the heat on my cheeks. “Cause I didn't get a thing.”“Don't you even try, si…” I trailed off. “You… just don't.” I crossed my arms, turned away, wishing the earth to swallow me whole.How… how can a sane person just do that?! I mean… why?Why would he do that?“Why are you…” I was going to ask, when I heard. Low, distant, but familiar. “Did you hear that?” “What… I don't…”“Quiet,” I closed my eyes, and listened carefully. Beyond the noisy crowd, the laughter, the tiny running steps of the children, and the music playing in the background, I heard a cry, not anyone's, I cry I've heard before, and know pretty well. “Sarah,”Without thinking, I rushed towards the yard where we left her to play with her friends. There she was, crying her eyes out, encircled by what I thought were her friends. “Sarah,” I called out, the second I got there. “What is it, sweet?” Her eyes went to me, swollen, tears cascading down her cheeks as

    Edward's pov“Bella,” I called out the moment I realised she was not on my side. My feet halted as my eyes roamed around, looking for her — until I found her, a few deets back. Glued to the floor, with her hands pressing hard on her ears. Eyes on the floor. Glitching — blinking as if she was in the middle of a shooting.I rushed toward her, “Bella,” but she wouldn't raise her eyes. My hands flew to her shoulders. She was cold. Quivering hard enough to repel my touch. “Bella, are you sick?” She was okay this morning. Right? Then what was that? “Bella, look at me.” She shook her head. Closing her eyes tight. Her breathing getting worse in each passing second.“I need to go,” she whispered. But before she could move I wrapped my arms around her. Tight. Out of dread, or maybe panic. What else could I do?“Breathe,” I said. Her hands reached for my suit, gripping it. Pulling me closer then the word itself. “Breathe,” She buried her face in my chest. Breathing in. Breathing out. Rapid, but
