Chapter Five
Then... 10 years later, five years have passed
(Last flashback chapter)

Bella lied against the headboard of the bed.

Aster was nude, her blonde curly hair laid softly past her shoulders hiding her breasts. Bella reached out, shoving her hair to the side and brought her mouth to cover her breast. Eliciting a moan from Aster.

"I love you, Bella." Aster moans, and Bella meets Aster's lips in a kiss.
Bella was happy with Aster.

She couldn't imagine what her life would be like without her. How different it would if she didn't have Aster.

She didn't want to think of it. So she barred those thoughts and made love to Aster.

To forget. To move on. To be happy.

***

Intern. Assistant. Editor. And now the youngest to own her publishing company.

From little leaps to big leaps - her job had progressed to a point where it was almost unimaginable.

An opportunity of a lifetime and it was hers for the taking. Bella was truly blessed and made it so the decision to make her owner was the right one.

She did her time. Did the work. And completely changed the face of publishing.

She was excited to see where it took her. For Bella - this was an exciting new adventure, working for this company brought her such joy and it really saved her life.

Add in her romance with Aster and again she was overfilled with immense joy. And couldn't for the life of her imagine anything getting in her way.

An intern pops into the office, where Bella is overlooking the District. She had quite a beautiful view of Pennsylvania.

"Yes?" The intern is nervous, and jittery - Bella was immediately concerned.

"Can I help you?"

The intern shakes his head and turns away.

"Not worth it."

Bella hears him mutter.

Bella was going to follow him, when her phone rang. She answered it. Completely forgetting about the intern. And would remember this in the future.

As a start to something that was brewing...

Way before her chance meeting occurs.
