Chapter 1
~Carlisle~
"Carlisle, I want a divorce. I thought you were my mate but I now know that is not true." She says.
"What do you mean we are not mates? We have been together for a long time Es, and I still love you the same if not more." I told her, feeling like my heart could break if I still had one.
"I am truly sorry. The truth is that I've been having an affair for the past twenty years and if you would have been around more, and acted like you care about me you would have notice my mating mark, the one you never gave me."
She said while showing me her mark without a care in the world. I know I didn't mark her but I didn't think that I needed to mark her. I thought we were mates and with me just scenting and loving her would have been enough. I didn't want to scar her beautiful skin with my teeth to prove that we were mates. I guess that is something that she always wanted.
"Fine, do what you want Esme but since you have cheated on me for the past twenty years instead of coming to me you won't get any more than what the law requires. I want everything with the name Cullen on it; you can have the house in Michigan, your car and clothes. Make sure you leave your Cullen pendant behind, my grandmothers jewelry set and be gone by the time I come back." I spat at her.
I walked out of our room down the stairs and to the garage. I needed to get out of our home here in Seattle and clear my mind. We have only been back for a year and everything is falling apart already. I need to contact Jenks and get the divorce papers rolling. I want her out of my life as soon as possible.
I don't tend to hold grudges but what she did was uncalled for. If she would have come to me when she met him then things would have been different. I can't believe I was with someone like her for so long.
"I'll contact you once I have the papers so you can signed them." I told her while getting in my car.

It has been ten years since we left Forks and Isabella behind. I have always missed my daughter and it pains me that I chose my son over her. I don't know what type of parent am I when I chose one child over another.
I wonder how she is doing, did she marry, does she have kids, where did she go to school and what did she study. I should take a drive to Forks soon and she where she ended up.

Pulling into the parking lot of my private clinic I could sense someone else here. I finally decided to open one but I still work at the hospital at night. I guess I see what Esme meant about me not being home, but she shouldn't have cheated. She should have spoken to me and let me know that she was unhappy.
I wonder if Alice knew about her deception. If she did I don't know whether to be upset that she didn't tell me or glad that she didn't interfered.
I open my office door to get some work done and I notice that its Alice that it's here. She has her head in her hands while sitting on my couch.
"What's wrong Alice?"
"I'm so sorry Carlisle. I knew but I wanted her to tell you. What she did was wrong but for the best. Your soul mate is out there, in fact you will meet her soon." She said.
"Thanks Alice for not interfering, I just wish she would have told me instead of cheating." I told her but I noticed that something else was bothering her.
"Alice, is there something else wrong?" I asked her feeling concerned.
"I have done something terrible Carlisle, but I swear it was the only way. I tried to change it but it would have been a disaster and now I don't know how to fix it. He is going to hate me, and I don't know how to make him understand." She sobbed and rushed.
She spoke so fast that if I wasn't a vampire I wouldn't have heard anything she just said.
"Alice! Slow down child. Now sweetheart explain to me who are we speaking of?"
She took an unnecessary breath and began her tale. I couldn't believe all the things she has done. I wanted to be mad at her but I somewhat understood why she did it. It was very selfish of her and under handed.
"Alice you have to tell him. What you did was selfish and immature but at the same time I understand what would have happened have you told him sooner."
"I know." She sighs. She gets up and hands me the contact information for Jenks, gives me a smile and walks away. She turns back to me and says:
"You'll know what to do when the time is right. Don't fight it and you will be happier than you have ever been." With that she leaves my office.
I took the number while thinking about her words and what she meant.
I picked up my phone to give Jenks a call and get the divorce papers started. I want Esme out and the sooner than later the better.
I dialed the number and waited for him to pick up. I definitely was not expecting for someone other than him to answer.
"Swan, Jenks and Associates this is Cassandra how can I help you?" the voice said. She had the sweetest voice I've ever heard in my life. It was sweet, sexy and sultry and my body was responding to it.
"Umm… yes this is Carlisle Cullen and I need to speak to Jason Jenks please."
"Hello Mr. Cullen. I'm sorry to inform you that Mr. Jason Jenks passed away a year ago, but I am his daughter, is there anything I can help you with?"
Oh shit, who would take all the vampire cases now.
"I'm sorry for your loss Ms Jenks but um… I would like to know who took over for his 'special clients' please."
"Oh you are one of his 'special clients', ok. He never told me why were they special but he did assigned them to someone who knows about it. Here let me transfer you and have a nice day." She said.
I could hear the classical music in the background while I waited on hold.
"This is Isabella Swan, how can I help you?"
