After Carmen left with Bella, I sat in the empty conference
room trying to come to grips to the hollowness I felt. It wasn’t until Marcus
came back that I flew into action, calling my contact at the Seattle Police
Department, Detective Emmett McCarty, to meet with Carmen and Bella at Harbor
View Medical Center.
Emmett and I played football in high school. We were close
in high school, but drifted apart when we went to college. After my breakdown,
when I began working for legal aid, I ran into him at one of the precincts.
He’d arrested one of my clients. We got to talking and exchanged numbers. Whenever
I needed a cop, I called him and he pulled through. Every time.
I also made a reservation at a hotel near the office, using
my name. Bella and I were traveling for business and needed adjoining rooms. I
didn’t know her last name, so I used my birth name as her surname, Bella Masen.
Yeah, I was adopted by the parents from hell. Okay, not from
hell, but definitely from purgatory. Alice and I were the accessory children
for Esme and Carlisle Cullen. Esme was a home maker, housewife, and chair to
numerous charities. Carlisle was a decorated state senator, who was running for
congress in this election. From what Alice told me, Carlisle had a good chance
of winning.
When we were kids, Alice and I had everything we could have
ever wanted. We were loved, protected and cherished. However, if we made a
mistake, it was hell. I got a speeding ticket and I was forced to sleep in my
car for a month. Alice got a C on a midterm and she was grounded for the rest
of the academic school year. Our parents only expected perfection. Mom was more lenient than Carlisle, but she was still
strict. So, an adoptive son with mental health issues?
Not an option for the cookie-cutter, perfect Cullen clan.
Hence, my parents disinheriting me and giving everything to
my sister.
Bitter much, Cullen?
