Driving Forces Chapter 8 Teaser



How close we’re growing has become the talk among my loving siblings. Jasper is the latest with his phone call to brag about the contract Edward wrote for him.


“When are you guys going to announce that you’re dating?” His annoying fake southern accent comes out as he pries.


“A, you are not from the south; B, we’re just friends, for the millionth fucking time.” I’m beyond exasperated over this same conversation I’ve had with every member of the family.


He chuckles, forcing my eyes to roll and my hand to roughly run through my hair. “You need to jump on that.”


I hang up on him, turning my chair so I can look out my door where Edward is sitting. He’s wearing a black button-up with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and tan Dickies. Edward is looking straight-up edible. I might not want a romantic relationship, but I can admire him.

OutTake Lucian Ira Cullen

Lucian Ira Cullen I stand outside, listening to the music echoing from inside the house. The party is a rager, or whatever they call it. I’m not really into it. I came to make sure my little brother doesn’t get himself into too much trouble. Mike is standing with me and his girl Katie. She’s good for my brother, and they’re going on the one year mark. He’s actually asked dad about promise rings. I can’t help but smirk at the idea of shopping with him and Dad; Mike is finally ready for something serious. My heart stops when I see Brandi. We’ve been together for two years. I knew that our fight a couple of days ago was going to be a hard one to come back from. But I really thought she would still be with me, love me like I love her. Instead, I see Vince sticking his tongue down her throat and her arms are wrapped around him. I don’t feel myself moving, but I hear the screaming. “Jesus, Lucian, stop, man, stop!” I feel Mike and Damon pull me off of Vince. Brandi st

Driving Forces Bella Cullen was about to have everything she had worked toward until she lost the two most important things in her life. Vice president of the legal department in her family's business, she tries to bury her pain in work. All of that changes the day she meets a man that has obviously suffered from a serious trauma. Edward Swan is more than shy; he's scared of everything. Bella doesn't know what happened to the endearing man, but she vows to help him and his young daughter in any way she can, starting with hiring him as her personal assistant. Little does she know they'll soon become the driving force in her life. Chapter 1 BPOV I rub my temples as I kick yet another potential assistant out the door. I am the vice president of the legal department of Cullen Enterprises. I make up the entire legal department, so it’s not like I have a ton of subordinates, but that also means I do all the work. My dad is the CEO and founder. Along wi

Eala Chapter 18

Chapter 18 EPOV My head is foggy and I’m trying to figure out what the incessive banging is. Why is my phone going off incessantly? I roll over to nudge Bella, only to find her not in bed next to me. “What the fuck?” I rub my face and look at the clock. My stomach turns when I read the numbers; six a.m. I stumble out of bed, grabbing my phone and seeing numerous missed calls from Emmett, Mama Es, and Jasper. I whip open the bedroom door to hear Emmett yelling and banging on the new front door that was installed per request from Bella. I quickly open it up to a panicked Emmett. “We have to go to Eala!” “What the fuck is going on?” I snap at him as I try to gather my shit that I flung around the apartment last night. “Da is missing, and so is—” He stops, nervously wiping his hands on his pants, clearly not wanting to look at me. I take slow, calculating steps toward him. “Emmett, who else ?” He finally meets my gaze. “Bella.”
