This story is very upsetting. Despite Bella's predicament, I don't think even I would agree to an arranged marriage to a socially inept person that makes you feel inferior. But nonetheless, I admire Bella's self respect to follow through and act smart about it. There's been tears from me from the last few chapters! I feel so sorry for her. She really has had an awful life and she's still just dealing. You write extremely well. I am confused however. The end of this chapter sees Edward acting 'normal',,, is there a camera on him though there wasn't one before?
