All Chapters of The Love I Couldn't See: Chapter 31 - Chapter 37

Bella's pov It's today. Weekend. Saturday. Forty seven minutes past nine and, eight, nine, ten, eleven… Seconds passing. Time. They are waiting for me downstairs, but my body refuses to move. “She told him…” She told him I was to pretend to be her mother… Till that point everything was okay. The problem is that being her mother implies one specific thing… “Being his wife.” I whispered to the silence. Closed my eyes tight, but nothing would smooth the thought. With all the strength of my body, I walked once again to my dresser, to glance at that girl in the mirror. She was wearing that beautiful pinkish dress her supposed husband gave to her not too long ago. For the first time in a while she decided to wear high heels, to give her face a little more care — to highlight her eyes behind her glasses lenses… To let her curls free. “Pretty.” I nodded in accordance. Using all my brain capabilities to ignore my racing heart, and sweaty hands. “It's today or never.” I said to myself, wa

“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

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

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
