A/N : hey guys, I can't apologise enough for the disappearing act, a lot has gone in my life, though that's no excuse! But I'm back and I am going to finish off my stories but I will be making edits. Mainly to this story.. US, a re-polished version and continuation and eventual completion of the story is due. The editing is mainly for grammar errors, spelling and plot mistakes that I've noticed **cringe**. As well as general improvement for better reading and better enjoyment for you guys! They're all written I've only got the epilogue to go and hopefully I'll begin completing DITD.
Here's the summary yet again and I hope you enjoy the US journey you're about to go on with Bella.
Summary: At the death of her parents, Bella inherits a fortune as well as much more than she expected or bargained for. With new discoveries and tragedies, Bella's life completely changes and she becomes ice cold and heartless. With loyalties tested, can a Cullen change all of that? Or will she kill him instead?
OOC, Edward/Bella, drama crime and mystery.

"Bella listen to me, I can explain…" He was frantic, almost fearful.

"Why me?" I whispered weakly before finally, the world faded to black…
