Statistics say arranged marriages have a better chance at lasting. Is that still true if the couple is chosen by a group of experts and married on TV with at least one partner in it for the wrong reasons?

A lost bet, the promise of money and a stranger for a bride. Will confirmed bachelor Edward Masen find a match made in heaven or hell?

~Inspired by the show Married at First Sight~

Edward is instantly drawn to the new girl, Bella Swan. From their first meeting he is overtaken by a desire for her body as well as her blood. After a week in Denali he returns to Forks and visits the object of his obsession. What happens in her room that night will change both of their lives forever. First chapter was written for the "In the Dark" Contest.

We've all turned the pages on the four blank months in New Moon. Edward left Bella in the woods and told her didn't want her anymore; his arrogance expected that she would just move on with her life. What he never expected was that she wouldn't be able to move on any more than he would. An angry Bella is something he couldn't fathom. What he didn't take into account is that Bella believes that true love is worth fighting for, and she's going to fight to keep Edward and her family. The Cullen abandonment hurt her deeply, but she's turned that pain into rage. What will happen when Bella decides to let them know she's not willing to let them walk away and leave her behind? How will they handle one mere human girl that's extremely pissed off, and willing to do whatever takes to bring them back? The saying "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" has never rang more true. Bella's angry and on the warpath. Not even a clan of vampires will be able to stop her.

"My heart may have fractured when he left me, but I adamantly refuse to let it shatter. I'm stronger than that, and I'm ready to get nasty. This is going to be a side your family has never seen out of me. I hope you're prepared, because when I'm done taking your stupid, arrogant brother down a few notches, I'm coming after you. Yes, you heard me correctly. You may be small, fast, and graceful, but I'm filled with enough rage at this point to go vampire on your pixie, ballerina ass!"  ~Bella - Chapter 2: Voicemails

Entry for the Straight thru the Heart Contest

When Bella Swan signed away her life to a man nineteen years her senior, she never once imagined that she would win his heart. Never once did she think that she would be the only woman that could truly say she won the heart of the billionaire, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. She gave him everything she had, regardless of his lies, his callousness and his vindictiveness. She loved him for he was but more importantly she loved him for who he wasn't. Regardless of his imperfections and coldness, she broke down every wall. She showed him that even he could be loved.

Bella had the job she’d always wanted, teaching kindergarten in the neighborhood she grew up in, until layoffs left her without a job.  Edward had a job he loved, and a perfect family, until he learned it was a lie.  When both return to their hometown of Forks, Washington to regroup, they learn that the best things in life can happen while you’re busy making plans.
