A/N hello again dearies I got a review from a guest that was informative I will try to shorten the run on sentences but I was trying to rush through the opening so I wouldn't have to do too much back story sorry if it came off the wrong way.

Anyhoo I will be making this a short story hopefully 10 chapters for the most so they will be a little long I will try to separate them as much as possible so that it flows more evenly.

Please note that this fan fiction is a little on the dark side it may have triggers; and few graphics scenes please be warned.

Disclaimer I do not own twilight only Stephanie Meyers does. What I do with the established characters is all my own madness.

Ps. yes I do know that established mob rules say that I can't hit the boss but then again this isn't a normal story; besides tell me the truth if someone talked to you the way Edward did to Bella wouldn't you want to punch the daylights out of them. She did ask Carlisle permission before she hit him… jus sayin.

Chapter 2

3 months in the past night of the swearing in

Edwards POV

My father left me to nurse my bruised jaw after the incident where I deservedly got clocked by the most intriguing woman I have ever met. Granted I was at fault so I set of in search of Miss Swan to apologize for being an Ass. I looked around the crowded room and saw my mother at the bar with Bella; I stopped to stare… the dress she wore which was alluring and had my blood pooling south, I swear I saw a thigh holder with a glint of steel.

I watched as my mother bandaged her hand and I touched the bruise on my cheek damn can she hit. While I was musing a shapely blond approached her and almost suffocated her with her breasts a month ago I would have traded places with her in a heartbeat now I just wanted her.

When she smiled the feeling in my chest tightened; but when the man hugged her… my blood began to boil I couldn't explain why seeing a man hold her affected me so. I had no claim on her. At least not yet! I planned on getting on Miss Swans good side if it's the last thing I do.

I was pulled from my musings as a soft hand travelled up the expanse of my back in a familiar manner. It would seem that Miss Denali wasn't finished with me yet but my thoughts were completely focused on Bella. I calmly pushed her hand aside not caring that she threw me a glare at denying her, I knew her end game she planned on being my wife but I have no wish to be married to her. She was a fun lay but now I had a purpose and she was not it. With Tanya forgotten I pushed my way through the crowd determined to get to Miss Swan.

As I neared the bar her eyes spot me and she runs off. My mother laughing at her tactics; she wasn't making it easy and I respected her for that. When I reached the bar I acknowledged the two chuckling people at my mother's side Jasper Whitlock and Rosalie Hale. "Edward… come here" my mother's tone brokered no argument from the corner of my eye I see jasper and Rosalie slip away.

She touches my bruised jaw to check for breaks and I hiss in pain as she touches the black and blue mark. "She packs a punch doesn't she?" I nod slowly "you know you messed up right?" I say nothing as she continues to examine me "an apology is not going to suffice you have to show her how sorry you are." I look at her and nod " I know ma I will" she looks at me seriously for a minute searching my face for something eventually she sees it and continues in a softer tone "Edward tread lightly with Bella, she is dealing with a lot, and it's not helping that she has to fight the head." I bow my head in shame. I was admonished appropriately so I set of in search for Miss Swan.

Bella's POV

After fleeing from Edward I make my way through the crowd until I see Carlisle. When he notices me he excuses himself and nods towards his study.

Closing the door behind him we both take our seats. My hard day has me crashing on the couch in his office my bandaged hand covering my face in a vain attempt to block out the day. I lay flat on the soft leather of the couch and let the cushions envelope me in there supple embrace.

I hear Carlisle move towards the bar and approach me with a tumbler of scotch; he hands me my drink as I peek from between my fingers. His smile shines through brightening my day a little bit. "I won't apologize to him for that punch, he deserved it and he's lucky I didn't stab him." His chuckle is his only reply as he settles behind his desk. Leaning on his leather chair he places his feet on the desk. He takes a sip of his scotch, before answering me.

"My dear girl, I wouldn't dream of making you apologize he's lucky Charlie isn't alive; I would be visiting him in the hospital for a while."

A sad look passes his face, Charlie was Carlisle best friend and also the man that helped him build the Cullen Empire. Having grown up seeing Charlie and Carlisle act more like bothers than friends I know he hurting as much as me now that he's gone. My dad may be gone but at least I still have Carlisle his is after all my godfather.

"Bella… love?" He calls me from my musings "What's going on? Why were you late? I know your temper is short but you snap at the slightest things now are you okay?" I pull myself up on the couch and tuck my legs under me as I sip from my glass. I explain all that has happened today, the involvement of mike Jr. and the fact that I burned the drugs in the first place.

When I was finished he looked furious mike Jr. was going to go through hell, in fact the whole newton faction was going to feel it. As for the Voulturi, they have been trying to get on Swan turf for too long this was grounds for war and woe and behold anyone who got in our way.

"You know that Edward has to be notified, he is the head of the Cullen Empire now." I sigh, I know he's right but I don't have to like it. I nod and he leaves me in search of his son, I finish my scotch and glance down casually at my nails and notice some grit under them. Pulling out one of my daggers I start to clean them when Edward walks in followed closely by his father, his stunned expression glimpsed briefly as he passed his eyes over me. He clears his throat and walks stiffly to the desk where he promptly sits.

Carlisle smirks as he heads towards the chairs in front of the desk beckoning me to join him; I gracefully slide off the couch while replacing the dagger in my thigh holster. I hear rather than see Edward's reaction, a quick intake of breath as a portion of my leg is exposed. I smirk and sit next to Carlisle.

"Miss Swan, before we start I would like to apologize for my behavior earlier. I am truly ashamed and ask for your forgiveness. It was inappropriate and as my mother pointed out outdated in this day and age." As he was apologizing I watched his face and can see that he is truly remorseful and not just appeasing me like most men did. I accept his apology but will still make him squirm.

"Thank you Mr. Cullen, may I make a suggestion you really need to read the family dossiers, majority of the heads are women or will be when the current head retires" he looks down and a light dusting of red on his ears reveals that his a bit ashamed of the earlier assumption." Yes well… let's continue shall we." He starts as I pull out a dagger to play with a nervous habit I developed when I'm stressed. I know he caught another glimpse of my leg and I laugh. Then explain what happened with the drugs, he laughed when I told him what I did to newton his smile had me pause for a moment something about it made my body react with a pleasant tingling. A clearing of a throat had me going again but I caught the smirk on Carlisle face out of the corner of my eye.

Something was going on Esme had that same smirk earlier; I smell mischief in the air. He grew visually angry when I came to the involvement of the Voulturi. He glances at his father and both men try to avoid my stare. "What's going on here!" my voice raising "Carlisle what aren't you telling me?" he looks to me with sadness in his eyes.

"Bella… we believe that Charlie's death was connected to the Voulturi." I stand in shock and feelings of betray rip through me. "Why wasn't I told earlier Carlisle?" Anger replaced shock and I felt my hand tightening around the blade in my hand.

"Bella… calm down, we weren't sure about their involvement. But given their actions tonight we are starting to believe they are responsible." I huff and turn away, flinging my blade in anger at the door. It hit with a satisfying thud. The men watch the blade in the door, as I pull out my phone and dial Seth's number. When he answers I hear a scream and then silence he must have stepped outside. "Boss Lady?" as he answers I turn to face the two men with me. One with concern as expected from Carlisle. But it was Edwards expression that had me pause I couldn't quite tell what it was but I did stir something in me.

"Seth I want you to get Embry now." Pulled from my thoughts I snap out the command at Seth. A few minutes later Embry's rough voice filters though the line. "Yes Boss Lady" he is out of breath "Embry I want you to ask our guest, if they were involved in the murder of my father."

Silence reigns and if it was possible I could almost feel the anger roll of Embry as he realized the implications of that statement." Yes, ma'am" his voice tight and angry, "put me on speaker phone Embry" I place my phone on the desk in front of us as I activated the speaker on our end.

Embry's POV

My fist made a sickening thud against the jaw of the man in front of me. He was a tenacious bastard I'll give him that; hardly made a sound from the punches. I saw Seth walk out of the room to take a call and decide to add a little spice to the party conscious of Sam in the corner I realize they have been watching me lately I may be becoming a little unstable even I think so.

Salt is sprinkled in the wound that Boss lady knifed. His screams echo out as Embry walks back in and hands me the phone. As I Listen my rage builds the Voulturi may be blamed for Charlie's death. I was livid Charlie pulled me from a bad place when I was released from the army. He gave me a purpose, a family and this man may know his responsible for his death.

I place the phone on the table near our guest; in order to turn and pick up and an ice pick while walking towards our guest. Pulling his head up by his hair I look him in the eye and ask a very loaded question.

"Did the Voulturi have anything to do with Charlie Swans Death?" Sam and Seth both rush forward to hear the answer promising death if it was true. The man looks at me with a cocky grin and says "wouldn't you like to know?" His answer drives me to be violent and I stab the ice pick into his injured knee and twist violently as he screams. "I won't ask you again" I hiss in his face. Boss Lady's voice filters through the phone. "Let me talk to him Embry" I carry the phone to our guest.

"Mr. Alonso, we've had this discussion about not answering my questions. So before I order my associate there to start severing limbs, and trust me he knows how to keep you alive during the process. I suggest that you answer my fucking question." Boss Lady pauses to quietly ask him "Did your family have anything to do with the death of my father?"

The man still didn't answer "Embry start with the foot I damaged and work your way up" came her order. I place the phone back on the table and Sam hands me the Tourniquet's and bone saw. Our Guest quickly speaks up as he sees me coming towards him with the saw in my hand. "Yes the Voulturi ordered the hit on Charlie Swan." With that, Boss Lady hangs up the phone and I go to work.

"You're gonna tell me everything" I growl at him; I tie off his leg and place the blade on his knee and started to saw.

Bella's POV

I can't breathe the Voulturi; who have clearly been trying to steal my turf ordered the murder of my father. Even worse they had to have inside help to do it someone helped them serve him up on a silver platter. I can feel the sobs fighting to the surface but the anger pushes itself to the forefront.

I turn to the men in the room, their expression the same as mine. Carlisle speaks first "Edward it's time for a meeting call it now!" He tells Edward as he storms out of the room. Edward and I are left staring at each other.

Ok guys I will be leaving it off here. I hope you enjoy the story so far, again I just want to say that a lot of the story will have dark parts but trust me it's not so bad.

Random 3NE out.
