The smell of alcohol permeated the room as she clearly realized Edward Cullen was genuinely planning to ensure she would never go anywhere for the rest of her life!
She closed her eyes tightly, struggling to get up and grabbing Edwards collar, she kissed his thin lips.
Edward was surprised for a moment, then reached out to hold her waist, pressing their bodies even closer.
His nimble tongue slipped into her mouth, deepening the kiss.
After a long, lingering kiss, Edwards probing gaze locked onto her face.
Bellas heart tightened, but she smiled lightly, her extremely beautiful face like the first snow melting, bright and irresistible.
"If you cut my Achilles tendon, I wont kiss you like this or smile like this anymore. Is that okay with you?"
She reached up to hook her arm around Edwards neck, rubbing her face gently against his.
"Would it be okay if I started to hate you, to not like you?"
Bellas tone was soft and low, like a cats paw scratching his heart, tickling and numbing.
Feeling the increasingly bold movements of the woman in his arms, Edwards eyes darkened, and he pushed her down onto the hospital bed, pinching her jaw roughly.
"Indeed, it would be a pity to ruin such a delicate ankle."
After saying that, he looked at Bella...
...the room filled with an intimate atmosphere.
After a long night, Edward finally fell into a deep sleep.
Bella carefully stretched out an arm in his embrace, holding her phone and taking a picture of the display cabinet.
The photo was blurry and dark.
Bella had to turn on the phones flash, and the moment the flash lit up, she fearfully saw Edward frown and slowly wake up.
"What are you doing?"
He was still a bit drowsy when he woke up, but that didnt mean he was harmless at the moment.
Bella gripped her phone tightly, draped her arm around Edwards waist, and without saying much, she leaned in and sweetly kissed him.
This move always worked on Edward.
The kiss was deep and lingering, and Bella was enveloped in his presence.
Edward looked at her affectionately, his eyes hiding a dazzling light.
"Bella, I want to feast with you and toast to our guests. Will you?"
His words stunned Bella.
The issue she had been trying to avoid was finally on the table.
But seeing Edwards eyes grow colder due to her silence, and his unconsciously tightening grip, Bella had no choice but to nod.
After that, the wedding preparations were in full swing, all done by Edward himself at an astonishing speed, clearly indicating that he had been planning for a long time.
Since she couldnt get in touch with her parents who were on vacation, Jessica Stanley took on all the responsibilities of the brides family.
Accompanying her to try on wedding dresses, choose venues, and get beauty treatments...
Edward followed behind them, his displeasure at Bellas neglect growing.
Seeing Jessica boisterously take Bellas hand again, Edwards eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of danger.
This was the third time Jessica had touched Bella today, and it was the limit of his patience.
His gaze fell on the wedding ring design Jessica had specially made for Bella, which was both dazzling and elegant鈥攁 fine piece.
He smiled lightly; their Bella seemed to be a jewelry designer too...
Some people could disappear now!
A week later.
Bella took advantage of Edwards workday to invite Jessica over for a chat, planning to ask Jessica to help her escape, at least to go abroad first.
Just about to speak, Jessicas hand holding the remote control paused as the TV broadcast a jewelry competition, displaying a dazzling wedding ring.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now we are showcasing our first prize, a wedding ring designed by Miss Bella Swan for her own wedding..."
Thud!!!
The remote control in Jessicas hand fell to the ground, bringing Bellas incredulous thoughts back to reality.
She stood up in a panic and urgently said, "Jessica, its not me..."
"Ha... Bella Swan! If its not you, then who is it?! I only showed you this design! Would you go so far for a bit of fame?" Jessicas eyes were red, her eyes full of heartache and grievance.
Bella watched her about to leave and hurriedly went forward to grab her hand, "Jessica, its really not me..."
She knew her defense was weak, after all, she herself hadnt figured out what was going on.
Jessica fiercely shook off her hand, strode to the door, grasped the doorknob, and looked back with a sideward glance.
"Bella Swan, I really regret being friends with someone like you!"
After Jessica stormed out, slamming the door behind her, Bella slumped to the ground, at a loss.
When Edward came home, he turned on the light to see Bella sitting on the floor, dazed and helpless.
He frowned, went forward, and squatted down to encircle her. "Bella, whats wrong?"
"Why is this happening... why is this happening..."
No matter how much Edward asked, Bella just kept muttering those words to herself.
"Bella, sweetheart, the floor is cold. Lets get up, okay?"
Listening to Edwards gentle words, Bellas restrained tears slowly fell.
"Jessica doesnt want me anymore..."
As she spoke, her voice gradually became choked with sobs, releasing all the pent-up frustrations of the recent past.
Edward held her tightly, patting her back gently, his voice coaxing. "Its okay, you still have me."
