Chapter One
As she walked out of the elevator she saw that the only thing to have changed in 7 years was the pictures. Of course she knew that they wouldn't be there. After all she was the one that made them and he'd always said they were beautiful, until now she guest. She smirked when she saw that he still had that bitch Tanya working for him. She found out after 2 years of being locked up that they were still together and then last year there had been a child on the way. Tanya was watching her with shock and fear written on her face and all she could do was chuckle on the inside.
Without even stopping she walked right passed her and into his office. She shouted after her and then she heard her running behind her. As she pushed open his door she saw that his whole family were with him along with her grandfather and brother. "Hello, I was hoping I'd see you all soon but this is even better. Oh do put the phone down Alice if I wanted to hurt you I'd have started with this bitch right here." She said with a glare as Tanya ran over to stand next to Edward. "All I'm here for is Eddie here to sign some papers and to give you all something, nothing bad." With that she put the devoice papers on his desk and watched with pain running through her heart as he just signed them as quick as he could. With a heavy heart she picked them back up and put them in her bag while taking another folder out.
As she put it down on the table so everyone could see she watched as Tanya went white as a sheet. "What's wrong Tanya, never thought I'd find out what you and that bastard did? I still have a lot of high up friends who despite what you lot and the court said believe I never killed James. After all he's now living in Rio isn't he?" She opened the file to show a picture of James sunning himself at a pool. What made them gasp was the date on the picture. It was taken last week. She listened as Tanya tried to make them believe that the date had been changed and for a second she knew that even they thought that. "I'll be leaving now. Please carry on reading you might just like what you read. And my lawyer will be in touch. I will have ALL of my things back." With a last glare to each and every one of them she walked calmly out of the room and closed the door behind her. She tried not to smirk when she saw Carlisle reaching for the file first.
When the doors were just closing she saw them running out of the room and towards her. They saw her and it was her brother that shouted her name. She didn't stop the doors from closing or even reach for the stop button. Her last look was of Edward crying out her name in pain. When she got onto the street she breathed in before smiling and walking towards her new life. She was finally free and nothing was standing in her way.
…...
"How could we not have known?" Asked Esme as she looked through the file herself that night at the Cullen Manor. Alice was crying into Jasper's shoulder. He was trying to comfort her but he had his own things to worry about, like how he was going to get his sister to forgive him for not believe in her. Edward was pacing around the room keeping a close eye on Tanya. He wanted her to answer his questions but she had shut her mouth tighter then she ever had.
"You had better start talking Tanya or so help me I'll make you." Edward said walking towards her. It took his father to stop him from taking his hands and choking her.
"Why should I tell you anything? I only did what you've all done to her. Betrayal is something that she'll never forgive you for." Tanya smirked but she slowly tried to break free from the ropes they'd tied her up with. She hoped that the rumours weren't true or they'd never find her body.
…...
Bella loaded her gun and pointed it at the man in front of her. She smirked as he started to cry for mercy. "You never gave anyone mercy James why the hell should I give the same to a cold hearted bastard like you?" She chuckled but soon her face turned to disgust. He'd wet himself and it stunk. As she was about to fire the door was thrown open and in walked her so-called-family.
"Don't be stupid Bella you'll be sent back to prison." Bella laughed out right but didn't take her eyes off of James.
"Oh no I wont. You see there's a thing called double jeopardy. I've already been convicted of his murder so cant be found guilty again. I made sure to look it up while I was inside." Edward moved into the room and let Emmett and Jasper pull a gagged Tanya into the room. James started to scream again as Bella turned her gun onto Tanya. "But you, you I'd go back for. I befriended you and what did you do? Made people think I was taking drugs, that I'd hurt my own children. Slept with my husband behind my back and then still played the innocent card when it all came to light." Carlisle moved forward but didn't get to close having seen that look in her eyes once before. "I lost my little girl because of you and your games. I sat in the hospital alone while you fucked each other. I held my baby in my arms and watched the life fade from her eyes!" She saw that Edward was crying. He slowly made his way to stand next to his father. "You pushed me down those stairs and I'm damn sure you'll admit now to save your life."
"I never touched you, you evil bitch. But yes that's what we were doing. And why shouldn't he be sleeping with me? After all you were sleeping with James." James cried out again for her to stop talking but Tanya didn't. "You deserve all you got. Taking away my father like you did. Killing my mother in the same breath. I was making the field level."
"I've never slept with anyone but Edward. I never touched your father Tanya, isn't that right James? I stood back and watched as he cut him up and then shoot him in the heart. The reason your mother died was her own fault. Believing him was her down fall." Bella laughed. "And you know she came to me that night. She told me she knew and that both of you were mistakes. You weren't even their children. Your real family didn't want you so don't come the poor defenceless child with me. And why didn't they want you? Because you both had a thing for burning people, for killing little animals. Your both sick in the head and I'm about to do the world a great justice." As she opened fire Edward pushed her back and the bullet hit the spot right next to Tanya. She screamed as it missed her and she fell to the side.
"Don't be stupid Bella. I won't let you do this just to go back inside. What about Tyler and Dean? Don't they deserve to see you again? We can sort this out another way. Your name will be cleared and things will go back to normal." She shook her head as she tried to push him off. Jasper and Emmett stood to the side watching as Bella tried to point her gun at Tanya again. Carlisle thought fast and had it out of her hands and the safety on before they could blink.
"It'll never be the same again. Never." Bella gave up but when he'd loosened his hold on her she pushed him off and stood up. "I've lost 7 years of my life and for what? To a pair of bastards that couldn't even do a murder right. For a family who condemned me before even talking to me face to face. My children will not even talk to me. They think I'm a monster and you thing everything with go back to normal? Never." With that she walked out of the door and left it to them to sort out. Carlisle nodded at Edward and he went running after her. There was no way he was letting her leave again. There had to be a way to work this out. There just had to be.
Carlisle took one more look at Tanya and James before nodding to Jasper and Emmett. Jasper kept a straight face while Emmett couldn't help but smirk. They had wanted to end them as much as Bella had but they wanted to make up for what they had done to her. They'd make James look beat up before taking him in and let Alice and Esme have a go at Tanya. After all they never hit a woman.
…...
Bella sat in her living room watching the news. They had cleared her name but it didn't make a difference. She had still lost 7 years of her life. 7 years of her children's life's. They'd even gave her money to try and make it all better. She had started up a new business in the high street and had had people wanting to invest with her that had long turned their backs on her. Esme and Alice came to the store at least once a day to try and work things out but she just didn't want to hear it.
Edward tried to call her but she didn't answer. The devoice papers had gone through and she was now a free woman but she didn't want to be. In her heart she still loved him no matter what he'd done to her. She'd seen her children twice and what surprised her was that they didn't hate her. They just didn't know how to act around her. Jasper and Emmett would bring them around to see her and then come back later in the day. She wouldn't let them stay while she was with them. Today she was taking them out for the day and would be picking them up from the Cullen Manor.
As she got ready she looked at the ring she now wore around her neck. It was the ring Edward had given her when they first got engaged. Her wedding ring she thrown at him the day she had been sent down. He'd stood there with Tanya on his arm glaring at her. She'd screamed at them for betraying her and not believing in her. For a small part she still felt that way but it was getting less and less with each passing day.
