Prologue

Rosalie POV.

Suddenly, breathing was difficult. As much as it pained me I could not look away.

"Rose." I heard my father call from behind me. "Are you alright?"

"I have to leave them. I can't destroy them." I cried out still looking as my son and daughter ran about in carefree delight as they chased two puppies back and forth in the park as my ex-husband and, only love of my life, sat under a tree cradling a woman to his chest; the woman who I owed so much to; the woman who now owed his heart and the one who my children saw as their mother.

"Sweetheart." I heard my mother murmur from behind me before she hugged me to her chest.

"They're happy. So happy. She fixed them. She loves them. I am going to be selfish anymore." I cried as my mother comforted me.

"Rosie look up, sweetheart. I think Isabella is trying to get your attention." My father said gently as his hand joined my mother's on my back.

After I dried my tears a bit, I turned to meet the gaze of the one woman who had saved my family from the utter destruction I had inflicted on them and in that one moment when her warm brown eyes met my icy blue ones, I knew I had made the right decision.

"Love them Isabella." I mouthed to her. "Take care of them for me." With a nod of her head and a slight smile she showed me that she understood and just like that I walked away from the only thing that had mattered to me but had foolishly given up.
