I stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the huge grounds that the mansion stood on crossing my arms and unknowing what to do.

I suddenly felt a strong pair of arms wrap around my upper body and pulling me closer to his chest, Edwards head rested on my shoulder.

“I don’t know what I was thinking Bella, I’m so sorry” Edward whispered in my ear, he was crying silently and I realised that second he had fallen as much as I had.

“There is nothing to be sorry for” I called.

“I have so much to be sorry for Bella, sorry for trying to ignore you, sorry for attempting to not be with you this evening, sorry for getting Tanya into this stupid society, sorry for not loving Tanya like I should, sorry for falling in love with you and sorry for wanting you more than any man has a right to”

He just said he loved me.

I stood motionless for a moment letting that process in my mind; he actually just said he had fallen in love with me.

“Bella I don’t know what to do, I tried to ignore you this evening, but it crushed me, we cannot be together, we cannot run away together, all’s we have is this one night a week and some weeks we won’t even have that” Edward pulled me tighter into his chest while breathing in the scent of my hair.

“I cannot bear the thought of another man touching you”

I knew what he meant; the thought of any other woman with their hands on his body sends goose bumps all over my body.

“We need to find a way out” I called while placing my forehead on his strong arms that were wrapped around me.

“I’ve tried for two years Bella, two long fucking annoying years; I don’t know what I can do”

“Your father is one of the most influential men in the country, can he not do something?” I was willing to try anything.

“I cannot involve my father in this whole affair Bella, he would be so ashamed, and what could he do, really?”
