Ever considered that maybe she simply feels guilt over what's technically cheating on her husband even if she's in circumstances where people might find it acceptable for her to do so? She might be far less of a horrible person than you're determined to hate her for.I can see your point. We don't know everything about Bella's situation. I can give you that. I guess for me the guilt she displays the first few times MC and her get intimate and eventually kiss says it all. She repeatedly states she is a married woman and that what they were doing is wrong. That guilt, those words speak volumes. Unless DPC is a crappy writter she obviously feels at fault for something. If she had a clean conscience, if she had done nothing wrong she wouldn't feel so guilty.
