DAMNIT, WOMAN, I LOVE YOU
Disclaimer: The Cullens, the Swans, and most of the characters mentioned in the story that are known from Stephanie Meyer's beloved Twilight Saga, are all hers and hers alone. I neither have nor wish to pass them off as mine. I do appreciate the fact that she did bring them to life and allows us to play with them in our imaginations. The only thing I will claim is the current storyline.
CHAPTER 1: PROLOGUE
"Damnit, woman, I love you. Do you really think I would be stupid enough to try to prove to you that fact if I had had any sort of hand in her death?"
Bella just stands there staring beyond him as if he doesn't even exist. She ignores his plea for her attention. Her plan is working, but, at the same time is backfiring on her. But, she can't let anyone know that. She has proof that he was responsible for Marie's death and one way or another he was going to suffer and be held accountable. If the courts wouldn't do it then she would.
He reaches out to grab her by her arms and gives a little shake; just enough to try and get her to focus on him, to give him her undivided attention for a moment. Long enough to listen to what he has to say. But, she continues to look away, not interested in one word.
Slowly he releases her as he turns away. If she won't listen, then there was nothing more he could do at the moment. However, little does she realize that he is determined to fight for what they share together? It is not going to be allowed to die and she will not be allowed to just walk away. Tears form in his eyes as he turns away from her half way before uttering the words, "We aren't finished. I refuse to give up and will fight for what we have. You can try to ignore it and me all you want, but, that is all that will happen, you will only be allowed to try!" at which he completes his turn and walks away.
