“It’s alright, I’m not in a rush, besides I’m liking this game of hiding and seek. In this game of Hiding and Seek that guy is trying to be a mouse, hiding around me somewhere, so no worries one day he will come out cause I will make him hungry and then he will have to come out of his hidden place.” Edward smirked at the thought of that day when he would be ripping his limbs apart.
“And what are you gonna do with Vanessa?” Jacob asked him while typing something on his laptop, he looked at him, he’s been doing the work for him instead as he has been busy with lots of things. Things which would make things good at some points.
“Nothing, It’s time to celebrate something big, It’s time to meet our friends,” Edward said and picked up his cell phone from th
"Aren’t we baby?” He said and leaned towards her ear which was enough to send shivers down to her spin, “This the time to say ‘Yes’...” Vanessa knitted her brows to process what he meant and she finally caught on to what he said as she gasped but she hurried to respond as it was the only thing she could do… she cannot just ruin Edward’s reputation in front of so many people especially he had promised that he would protect her family“Yes,” Vanessa said, happily as there was again an uproar in the media for they want to ask so many questions as they want to become the first in the country to interview the girl who became so lucky that she got a chance to get married to Edward Snowden.“No more questions, please, we are getting late for registration of our marriage, my company will send you
Storming out of the room Vanessa called her one and only friend, Emma, to tell her everything that happened. She called her and waited impatiently for her to pick up the call, she was desperate to tell her everything, for her heart was feeling so heavy that breathing was becoming a tough task for her to do; she wanted to yell at everyone especially her father for pressuring Edward to do that thing, if only she would have known earlier she might not even have gone to the marriage bureau or she might not have signed on those which tied them as husband and wife.If only she had known she would not have come back to Edward if she would have known everything would turn in this way, for she would cry on the day she got married. She wanted to yell at Edward for signing and agreeing with her father and not telling her. And now she wanted to yell at Emma for not picking up her call when she needed her
Vanessa felt more out of place than she ever had in her whole life. She wasn’t even sure how she let Emma talk her into coming when the whole thing still made her nervous.All around her were people dressed their best hoping to impress a guy with deep pockets, while she just wanted to be at home wrapped up in a blanket. She doesn’t want to come for a honeymoon to just show off.Not that this couldn’t solve a lot of problems for her right now about her family. That was the only reason that Emma had even forced her to come along.Right now her best friend is busy playing host and talking to a lot of rich-looking people. While she tried not to draw any attention to herself and stayed at the table Emma had deposited her at when she’d arrived. It was Vanessa's honeymoon party which she had to atte
Edward didn’t go to the penthouse after throwing a party to his friend for his so-called marriage rather he stayed at the villa he has in Hawaii. Edward had just pulled off his coat and settled into his chair when his cell phone started to ring. He was immediately confused about what Emma might need him for this late at night.“Hello?” Edward answered.“Edward! Are you free to talk?” Emma sounded overly excited about something.“I just got to work but I can talk for a little bit,” Edward scratched at his hair, hoping this conversation wasn’t about to annoy him.“What did you tell Vanessa?” Emma asked.Okay, that wasn’t what he’d been expecting.
Edward reached out to grab her hand, noticing how nicely it fit in his own.“What’s wrong?” He asked. Vanessa sighed a little, “What if I can’t keep you happy and then I’m still screwed with my problems and people will blame me for the divorce as well?”“We can put it in the contract that even if I end things early I’ll still take care of everything. I don’t mind doing that so that you’re not stressing over it,” Edward tried to sound as reassuring as possible.“Why would you do that?” Vanessa sounded confused now.“I like taking care of other people,” Edward shrugged. “Even if it’s just with my money.”“But
As Vanessa got inside the penthouse, She still felt a little drunk from Edward’s attention. She hadn’t even thought about what it would be like to have all the focus of such a successful, handsome man but now that she had it she loved it.She was glad that Emma was out and that she wouldn’t have to answer any questions about her appearance or a sudden burst of happiness. Instead, she was able to go right into her room and textEmma like she’d promised. And told her everything that happened in between them. After telling her everything, she started packing her stuff as they were going back to Korea.After returning to Korea Vanessa was back to her regular job. It was a little surreal to be putting on the ugly uniform and slugging coffee for others at Emma’s restaurant when she knew how m
For the next few days, Edward was so busy working on a deadline that he barely left his studio. He knew the timing was awful and didn’t want Vanessa to think he’d done something wrong.So he’d asked Jacob to take Vanessa shopping for him. He knew he could trust his business partner to spoil Vanessa and spend a bunch of his money in the process.It wasn’t just that he wanted to make up for being busy, but he also wanted Vanessa to get something from him that wasn’t just to go pay bills. Hopefully, if he got lucky, he’d even get to see Vanessa wearing something he’d bought.Maybe he sucked at giving others time, but he liked the idea of sparking some joy inside of Vanessa even when he couldn’t be there.Even though he was exh
The next morning Vanessa found her body was sore in a way that she didn’t remember it ever being before from sex. Not just from the feeling of being stretched out and full.Really it felt like she’d gone through a marathon the night before, who knew that having your body teased for so long made you sore?Even when she just tried to carefully lean up in Edward’s bed, she felt twinges in muscles that she’d forgotten about.Next to her, Edward groaned sleepily at the disturbance in his bed but only shifted his arm that had been wrapped around Vanessa until she’d moved.She wished that she could just climb back into bed and stay there with Edward, he looked so soft and cuddly in his sleep.Instead, V
It was time to go home. Edward couldn’t decide if he was more excited or more anxious about it. Everything had been going so well between him and Vanessa, but that was on vacation. Now it was time to go back to the real world. It didn’t help that everything felt like a rush. A rush to get the rental back into order. A rush to pack everything. A rush to get to the airport on time. ~ WEEKS LATER ~~ Edward was on his computer in his home office when Vanessa came in to check on him. “Work?” Vanessa asked curiously, her hair was still wet from the shower she’d just taken.
Had Vanessa ever been more surprised than the moment when Edward told Nick they were a couple? If so, she couldn’t recall. She was still in dismay even after they came back to the villa.If you’d asked her what she would have expected Edward to say it would be a dismissive answer or not to reply at all.For Edward to so casually say that they were together kind of blew her mind.She was torn between wanting to ask Edward a million questions, play it cool, and tear off his clothes on the spot.But of course, they were surrounded by friends so she mostly just had an internal battle withherself.Sure enough, as the storm picked up outside the house suddenly went dark. Al
Edward was trying to distract his attention from the temptation of Vanessa but no matter how hard he tried it wasn’t working.He was shuffling in his seat, trying to talk with others to keep him distracted.He was talking with Jacob when they were distracted by the notification sound of Jacob’s phone.They both looked at his phone and they frowned upon it. It was the message from the secretary of Edward’s mother.“What’s it about?” Edward asked with a scowl.Jacob tapped on the screen of his phone and he was amazed by the content.“It worked, Edward.” He said with excitement, his voice was a little too h
Someone was being loud in the house. That wasn’t surprising. But what was surprising was that Edward quickly realized he wasn’t alone in his bed.Without opening his eyes Edward could feel the comforting weight of Vanessa’s body half flung over his. A leg was tangled in between his, an arm wrapped around him, and a face pressed against his neck.As he blinked and took stock of his bedroom he realized they must have fallen asleep watching television because it was actually still on.He remembered the butterflies in his stomach when Vanessa had curled up closer to him the night before, but the cuddling must have just happened when they fell asleep.Really he was helpless to bring his fingers up through Vanessa’s hair, enjoying the sleepy groan that
It was a weird phenom to always want to shower after going to the beach. Between the sand, sunscreen, and sweat it was impossible not to feel gross after a day by the water.Since they were in a house full of people Vanessa was mindful only to take a quick shower so they didn’t run out of hot water. She did take the time to blow dry her hair out though.Eric had made it clear that they were on their own for the night since he was dragging Emma out into town for a quiet dinner together.Vanessa didn't blame him but she also had no idea what the others were thinking about doing.After throwing on new clothes, she went downstairs to find that Jacob was already in the living room.“Everyone else still showering?&rdquo
It’s been 2 months since Edward and Vanessa had separated their ways for good. It’s been 2 months since they last talked. It’s been 2 months since Edward asked Vanessa to wait for him. It’s been 2 months since they’ve both been holding up their hearts for each other but they’ve been apart.It’s already been 2 months and lots of things have changed around them.In these two months, Edward was trying to get a single chance to catch his uncle red-handed to throw him out of his company and behind the bars.He had gathered enough proof against his uncle for all his wrongdoing. He had planned to get his uncle’s most loyal people on his side and he was getting so close to the truth.All he needed to do was
~ EDWARD~I felt awful the next day. I knew that I’d messed up as soon as Vanessa had left her work without so much as coming to say goodbye first. Then going to talk to her later had just made me realize how bothered Vanessa had been lately.I knew that we’d been off, but it seemed like things were just getting worse. My first instinct was usually to bury myself in work, but instead of going into the office, I decided to stay home that day.As soon as I worked up the nerve I texted Vanessa to see when we could talk and then waited.The longer that Vanessa took to get back to me the more nervous I got.I couldn’t even really focus on getting any work done because I kept checking my phone. When I got texts fr
It was a weird feeling being both absolutely head over heels for someone and watching what they were doing with such disappointment and sorrow.Vanessa had never been happier with anyone before which only made it harder to suddenly feel like it was slipping away from her. As much as Edward liked to take care of her when he was around, that didn’t stop him from falling back into his habit of letting work overrun his life.Vanessa understood it, she really did. Just like she loved working in that cafe and could lose herself in it, so did Edward with his company’s work.Unlike Edward though, Vanessa didn’t let her passion get in the way of the other aspects of her life.It was a little different because it was also Edward’s career on the line, but wh
In some ways being with Vanessa was the easiest thing in the world, but in some ways, it was the hardest thing for Edward.It wasn’t always easy to shut off the part of his brain that just wanted to keep working on his company’s issue day long. He loved it. But he also loved being around Vanessa.The part that was the most difficult was how easy it was for him to stay at work long hours on days when he knew he wouldn’t be seeing Vanessa.When Vanessa had worked all that Edward would do was stay at work. His schedule only changed when he needed it to.Logically he knew that he hadn’t really changed his ways that much at all. He was still putting in long hours, just adjusting them around Vanessa’s schedule.
