Chapter 2:
Why would he do this to me, to us? Everything was perfect. We had an amazing life.
God damn it, why did he have to ruin it. Through it all away for some tramp he claimed
he hated. When I have given him everything we had always wanted. I have always supported him.
His dreams always came true because I made them. If he wanted something I gave it to him. I did everything I could to make his life what it is today. He had everything he had ever hoped our life would become. When did his dreams change. When did he change. When did he stop being the man I feel in love with. When did he become the man I was always be afraid he's become.
Why did he have to prove my mother right. Why did she always have to be right when it came to my life, my marriage, my kids. But she was right. And I should have listened the first time. I should have never caved. If I hadn't I'd would never have had gone through this. I should have moved on. Instead I listened to the side of me that wanted so badly to believe every word that came out of his mouth and now I was paying for it.
(Flash Back)
Edward was away on another business trip. And had to stay an extra day or two.
He had his dumb blonde assistant Tanya call and let me know. I can not say that I was happy he was staying there longer with her, As she got an ear full. I flipped out. I was sick of this.
Every time he went away with her for business they stayed for longer then needed. I had begged to go with him, but he refused saying that Jamaica was no place for his wife. No place for a lady. He told me that the people he was dealing with liked to uneven the playing field. He just couldn't live with himself if anything happened to me. I let him off the hook as he promised to return to me quickly. I should have known he was full of shit. But in the end I'm shore he got the message, as I had threatened to rip her cheap extensions out of her head if she did not repeat my every word to him.
After hanging up on Tanya I called my mother. She answered on the first ring. She skipped the pleasantry and dug right in deep to the bone.
"Bella , Tell me you have finally decided to leave that good for nothing husband of yours."
"No mother I have not" I said harshly
" Well what did he do this time Sweetheart?"
After filling her in, she went back to her usual ranting. "He's not there enough Bella, He's an ass hole Bella, He's never going to change for you Bella". Then she said something that shattered my heart, sending peaces flying all over the ground like a broken vase that someone had knocked over.
"He's cheating on you Bella." "Do not be so blind and stupid." "Just look at all the evidence , He spends more time with that bitch and less and less time at home with you and my grandchildren were he should be." "He's stopped taking you away with him on trips." "He's always finding excuses as to why she needs to go with him." "You need to save yourself the pain and leave him now Bella." "Before he can hurt you anymore."
I hung up on her that day. Refusing to believe he would ever do such a thing. I practically forgot about it, He had called me later that day after I received 200 red roses and a very expensive Prada bag with a new diamond tennis bracelet inside. Each Note Said something different. Always ending in how sorry he was.
When he asked if I forgave him. I couldn't help but smile and tell him how sweet he was. We talked for a while when I thought I herd Tanya ask him if he was coming back to bed. I must have miss herd her because Edward never said anything. Instead he asked if I had herd from the kids. I told him how much fun they were having with his parents in Europe. He laughed at the craziness that was our children. Eventually we hung up. But my mothers words never left my mind. I refused her calls for the next few weeks.
Even Edward noticed the change in our relationship. We had just finished talking to the kids. when my mother called. I hit the ignore button on the phone and set it down. Edward gave me a strange look and asked
"Baby what's wrong, you always talk to your mother, Why are you fighting this time?"
"She things I need to leave you because you are cheating on me." I stated.
For a split second His eyes grew wide with an emotions I could now describe as guilt and fear. He caught himself. Taking one look at the shock I knew was clearly written across my face.
"I.. I.. I would never hurt you like that, your the only woman I have ever loved Bella," he pleaded. He knew I saw through his facade.
"Your lying." I yelled
"Bella please, your being ridiculous." he half heartily laughed. He knew he wasn't getting out of this but he was going to try.
"I am not being ridiculous, I refuse to be blind any longer, I wont do this, I'm done Edward, We are done."
" Bella your mother is a crazy drunk, Just look at what she put you and charlie through, Not everyone can be a cheating bitch like her." he yelled at me.
"No, they can't be, But you are, I'm leaving."
"What!"
"I am leaving you Edward, I am packing our things and leaving with my kids." I yelled
"The hell you are, you see this." he grabbed my hand and held it in front of my face. I looked at it. The wedding band he put on my hand over ten years ago stared back at me. "This means you are mine, you are my wife, those are our kids and I will not let you go any where. You are not leaving"
"Watch me, you do not own me Edward, you can no longer tell me what to do, you lost that privilege when you fucked that whore, you through away more then just your vows that day. I'm leaving and there is nothing you can do or say about it"
"Over my dead body." He yelled. His face red with anger. Anger he had no right to feel.
"Then Do us the favor and DROP DEAD EDWARD."
I turned on my heal and walked out of the kitchen and to through the hall way. The walls were littered with family pictures of us all. Ignoring the happy smiles we all wore as I stopped in front of the table with our wedding pictures and album on it and picked my purse up. Edward was quick on my heals. I reached the door and turned the knob. I pulled the door open. Edwards had flew by my head and the door slammed shut.
He roughly turned me to face him.
"I fucking said you are not leaving Bella, do not force me to keep you hear." he told me. His voice raising with every word. He was trying to scare me. But it wasn't working.
My hand shoot out so fast he didn't even see it coming. I connected wit his balls and he hunched over in pain.
"Fuck Bella."
I turned and re opened the door. I left him there like that. The door wide open so he could watch me drive away. After three months and a lot of begging I came back. Things got better. But He never truly changed.
(End Of Flash Back)
I shook my head to clear the memories away. Tears had escaped and he did not deserve to see them. When I looked up he was watching me. The sadness was evident in his eyes. The pain written on his face. He sat quietly by Tanya's now dead body. But who was he grieving for. Her loss or Mine?
"I should have never forgiven you the first time, I should have never come back to you"
I whispered.
"I know, I don't deserve you, I never did, I was to selfish to stay faithful, To stupid to know what I had until it was gone, And now I will die a broken man. A man that deserves to die alone." he confessed. Tears pouring down his face.
"Not just yet Edward, I'm not done with you yet, your pain hasn't even reach the level mine is at, you will not die until you feel what I do now." MY voice was as cold as ice.
I unlocked the handcuffs that confined my bastard husband and forced him to wrap Tanya's body in and old rug from the garage. I held the gun to his head when he refused to chop her up.
"Well your the expert Edward, what do you suggest we do with this Bitch?"
"Taker her to the pier and dump her off in the middle of the ocean, what the sharks don't eat the bottom feeders will, We just have to puller teeth first, those we can dump as we go." he said
It took us two hours to rid our-self's of the bitch that ruined our life's. Now it was time for me to decide what to do with Edward and he knew it to. He never tried to take the gun away from me. Even though I'm positive he could. He was ready to own up to his mistakes. But it was up to me as to how he would pay for breaking his vows to me.
