Chapter one
BPOV
"Isabella! Come here at once!" I didn't trust him. I knew if I went to him he would hurt me and I knew if I didn't go to him immediately he would hurt me. I wrapped my arms protectively around my stomach. He knew about our baby but he wouldn't care about hurting it when he attacked me. His attacking me is how I got pregnant. And now I was stuck with him and he was stuck with me. He didn't want me, he had made that very clear.
I slowly made my way towards his office, I could hear him moving around just inside the door. I lifted my hand cautiously from my stomach and knocked gently three times. He ripped the door open almost immediately. I quickly dropped my gaze to the floor. I didn't want him to see the fear in my eyes. He grabbed me by the hair and dragged me inside. He slammed the door, making the whole room shake with the force of it.
"Well, well. If it isn't the little SLUT!" He spat the last word at me, menace and hatred leaking into his voice. "Please, James. Not tonight. Allie is coming over remember, you don't want her to see you like this do you?" I whispered. He slapped my hard across the face, making me cry out in pain. "Only speak when you're spoken to. You understand?" I nodded "No one will want a little whore like you, ever. You're damaged goods girl. Such a shame really, I could have gotten a good price for you. You should be glad I don't throw you out onto the streets. I will tell you now!" He slammed his fist on the desk. His voice was getting louder and louder, closer to screaming now than shouting. I was desperately fighting the urge to cover my ears but that would leave my baby unprotected. I only hoped Alice wouldn't come in at a bad time. "Get out of my sight! I don't want to see you again until tonight when you are a good little whore and do what I tell you to. Ok?" I nodded, I was afraid that if I spoke my voice would crack and he would know how close to tears I was.
I turned and ran out of his office. I couldn't see where I was running and I ran straight into a wall. The wall wrapped its arms around me and gave me a gentle squeeze. I shook my head thinking I was mad then looked up to check the wall and my head. Unfortunately it wasn't a wall. It was Edward. I mentally slapped myself for not looking where I was going and then I realised that he hadn't said anything. Oh no. Had he heard everything? "Umm... Edward?" I started and he looked down at me.
"I heard everything. Oh my Bella. What have you been putting up with?" He whispered because he knew that James was only in the next room. "You can't say a word," I whispered back "Promise me Edward? Please. I just need a bit more time. He might change." Edward was already shaking his head as I was talking. "Bella, Bella, Bella. How long have you been married to him now? Three years? Has he ever shown any sign of changing in those three years?" I shook my head sadly. "Then leave him Bella, come and live with me and Alice. She won't mind you're like a sister to her." I laughed quietly and lifted up my shirt so he could see my baby bump. "You don't want a baby living with you too though, do you? Especially not this baby." "I don't care Bella! You just need to get away from him. How quickly can you pack?" "In about five minutes but why?" "You're coming with me, my beautiful Bella. But you need to hurry. I'll keep James distracted just slip out the back when you're done and wait in my car, it's the silver Volvo out front." I nodded and sprinted up the stairs to grab my stuff. Being me however, I tripped and banged my head on the metal railing. I felt the warm wetness seep over my forehead and held my breath. I reached my room and grabbed an old t-shirt and pressed it firmly against my head. I pulled open all of my drawers and started pulling out all of my clothes, I shoved them into my lone suitcase and tried to organise so that they would fit. I grabbed my favourite maternity jeans and sweatshirt and shoved them on top. Underneath them was a box of my photos and memories, I put that in too. Right on top were three ultrasound pictures. I scribbled a note on the back of one and left it on James' pillow, I put the other two in my pocket and walked out of the room. I ran as quietly as I could back down the stairs and slipped out of our back door. I could hear a gentle murmuring inside. It was either James and Edward talking or the TV. I didn't care as long as I managed to get away. I jumped into Edwards's car and waited nervously for him to come out. I ducked behind the front seat when I saw the door open, and didn't relax until I felt the smooth surface of the road beneath the tyres. "Thank you." I whispered to Edward as we sped along. I knew I owed him my life. The gentle hum of the car's engine helped me to drift to sleep.

"Isabella!" I called gently at first but the bitch must have been deaf. I called her again, shouting for her this time I charged upstairs to our room and looked around franticly for her. On my pillow was an ultra sound picture of her little bastard child. I turned it over, ready to bin it when I noticed her writing on the back of it. It said, 'James. When you get this I will hopefully be gone. Don't look for me. My life and my child's life will be a lot better without you. I will write to you once when he/she is born to tell you its name and gender but that is all. If you have any heart at all, James. Let us be. Yours, Bella.' I was going to kill the bitch. When I found her she was going to pay.
