Her 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.☺️

New Start

Bella's pov I roamed around my room, here and there, looking for a perfect outfit to wear. Trying my best to match the colours, patterns, accessories. I was really tempted to wear sneakers—but who wears sneakers for an interview? I don't want people judging me again and definitely not because of something this small. After what seemed like an eternity, I decided for a white long sleeve and a beige circular skirt right below my knees. Flat shoes, because I can't handle the idea of torturing myself with high heels just because of some stupid pattern of this stupid society I live in. A little make up. Just lipgloss and a thin layer of mascara. No foundation. I'll let my beautiful dark skin shine with its freckles and acne scars. My long black curly hair tied up into a messy bun, just like always, the way I like. I looked at my reflection in the mirror, not sure if it was enough—if I was enough. Is this really it? I questioned myself, Is this enough to face this world I've been tr...

Sarah
Bella's pov We got out of there. I might be almost blind, but my hearing is perfect. I tried to ignore it, but the whispers were too loud, “Look, is that girl from earlier…” “She looks a mess, frankly…” “She really thought she was the one… what does she have special? So ridiculous…” “Shhh, she might hear you. She is having a bad time… let's admire in silence.” And their giggles were what I heard next. Their voices, so sweet and delicate—just like a poisonous flower, beautiful but deadly. We reached my brother's car and he helped me in. There was a moment of silence, a lot of questions roaming in my head. About what just happened, but especially about that man that caused all of this mess, How can someone be so cold? I'm sure he could hear me. But still, he didn't bother to help me. And about the gaze I felt—there is no way I'm wrong. But, what's the use of this? It won't change a thing after all. It won't change the pain I'm feeling, the wounds inside that seem so impossible to

I Need Her
Edward's pov “No, they are too messy. They don't even make sense…” I told my assistant, Bryan over the phone. “What? But…” “Don’t try to reason, Bryan. “ I cut him off, “I've already told you, I don't like their designs. They lack of everything. Get me more ideas, more people. It's not that difficult… look, I'm driving. I'll be there in five minutes. Make sure to not waste my time.” I told him. He probably knows how his inefficiency is getting on my nerves lately. “Yes, boss.” He said and I disconnected the call. I'm already running out of time. This project needs to be perfection, but nothing yet aligns my thinking. “Morning, Sir Wilson.” The receptionist greeted me once I reached Crystal's, “She is here.” Great. I hope she is what I need. I went straight to my personal elevator and clicked to the ninth floor. Where I am to interview my possible new designer. I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket and took it to check what it was. It was a message from Jared, my brother. “We

The Contract
Bella's pov It's Saturday, and I have no work on the weekend… I have no job, actually. Having a job means leaving home and yesterday was enough to explain that outside is still the same—dangerous, heartless and cold. “Today is going to be different.” I said to myself and this time I could trust my words. I already finished the house work, the garden is perfect, there are cookies in the oven and lunch is on low fire. Everything is perfect, except the fact that it's still eight in the morning and I already did everything—What about drawing a bit? That was my plan for the weekend. Draw my sorrows. Maybe I'll write later. I don't know, make a poem about life and how things don't really make sense… ‘Lonely.’ My inner self remarked. I'm not lonely. There is a fine line between the words lonely and alone. That line is called sanity. I went to my art room, which is actually the solarium. I wasn't thinking when I bought this house, it was a decision of the moment. I just wanted to fo

Who Are You?
Edward's pov Morning came after what looked like an eternity. I couldn't sleep. It was impossible with so many thoughts keeping me from it. It was her… she was there all the time. How the hell am I going to face her? I totally ignored her existence and left her there alone, crying in silence, helpless… I'm the reason she failed that interview. It was..my fault… “Edward, focus.” Jared said, taking me out of my line of thoughts, “Are you even listening?” “I'm listening. I…” What was he saying? “What did she say about the contract?” “You really didn't listen.” He rolled his eyes, “ She said She will think. It's a lot to process.” This girl is strange—what is it to think about? “Here. Your daughter made this for you.” He handed me a frame, a painting of a butterfly. “Sarah did this?” He didn't answer. I looked at the frame again. She is really good. I didn’t know she was this good. Probably got that from me. The way she played with the colors. Bright, simple yet with a hin

Pathetic Life
Edward's pov She is going to see… “What are you going to do, Edward?” My brother asked. Who does she think she is to say no to me? She is going to regret doing that... I got my car keys and went out without saying a word. I will make her swallow her words. It was a two hour ride and I finally found her house. A Pacific village near Davisville. Quite decent… Her house was pretty well decorated. Her garden, a masterpiece, like a picture taken directly from a royal garden. Simple yet eccentric. I opened her door and met a whole new world. Pastel colors everywhere, but not messy. Subtle yet full of personality. A personality I can't really understand. Everything was organized, clean. The colour palette was used in a way I've never seen before. She designed this. There was a monotonous piano song playing in the background that was getting louder and even more monotonous as I was walking around searching for the source. There she was, different from what I saw when we first met..

Against Me
Bella's pov The music stopped, putting an end to my melancholy. It was a sign that a message entered my phone. I looked at the screen. It was a message from an unknown number, “Be ready. Your ride will be there tomorrow monday, 8am. A black sedan. Your driver, Carl.” Just like the announcement of the end of the world... Edward. Where the hell did he get my number? How much does he know about me? The hell am I going to do now? Run? I might call my brother. He always knows what to do… I've done this before—run from problems. That's how I ended up here. I could go far away. Somewhere he will never think of. He will never find me… My plans were interrupted by a beep from another message, “Don't try to act smart. I WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU!” How? Is he spying on me? I looked around, searched everywhere, every corner, but there was nothing. Nothing! He said he can take everything from me. He will take everything from me. I can't take risks. I can't get worse than this. I went to my room

Help Me
Bella's pov Once my vision got used to it, I was surprised. It wasn't Mr Wilson. Unfortunately, it was the last person on earth I wanted to see... Edward. With his ocean eyes fixed on me. Impossible to read. “Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was Mr Wilson.” I diverted my eyes from his, already uncomfortable with his deep gaze. Again, he didn't say a word. Probably ashamed of what he did. I looked around. There was no one nearby. Nothing but a suffocating silence, “Where is Sarah?” I asked, recalling that I was not alone a few minutes back. “Probably in her room.” He finally spoke. His voice, really peachy, yet void of emotions. “I don't remember doing anything that would make her mad.” I voiced out my thoughts, “Why would she leave?” I took the flour package on the floor and continued cleaning the mess we did. I was getting ready to do the dishes when a voice echoed in the kitchen. Edward, reminding me of his existence. “Aren't you going after her?” “Not yet.” I replied, “If sh

Piece Of Her Mind
Edward's pov Why was she crying? What's so painful about being a nanny? Nonsense. She will be there tomorrow. She will do as I say and won't dare to do anything stupid. I bet she is already plotting something. She is smart. People like her always have a plan. I took my phone and sent a message to her, “Don't try to act smart. I WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU!” Just to make sure she won't leave. It didn't take long to reach Crystal's. It was just twenty minutes from her house. “Morning, Sir Wilson.” Bryan's voice reached my ears the moment I opened my office's door. “Tell me good news.” I went to my desk and threw my suit on the armchair. He didn't say a word. His silence was enough to tell that there was no such thing as good news. “Tell me the bad ones, then.” “The last designers came today for the interview,” He paused, “they were not good.” As I thought. “We are already two weeks late for this project.” He said, “If we don't do something now, we will lose the deal.” “Don't you thi

No Way
Bella's pov Morning came after a night counting time as never before. I could tell by the soft morning light invading my room and the sound of birds already gossiping outside. This smell. The scent of flowers blooming in the garden. The ground and moss freshened by the morning dew. I took a deep breath. Roses, tulips, daisies... Well, the ones I could identify in the magical perfume that was in the air. I stretched my hand to the right where I always keep my glasses. I put them on and the world around me cleared. I'm alive, at least... Tired, but alive. I forced myself to get up and only after a long hot bath I could feel my system working properly again. Wrapping a towel around my wet body I turned to the mirror. Deep bags under my eyes. My hair, all ruffled and wild. Tiny red pimples creeping through my skin… “Just a day… just a day and my face already looks like this.” I took my concealer and applied it under my eyes. I glanced across my room to the window. “The sun is alrea
