Thank you to all readers, and special thanks to those who followed and favorited the story...
This story is completely in Edward's Point of View and if that changes then I'll mention it exclusively.
THIS STORY IS BASICALLY WRITTEN VERSION OF A BOLLYWOOD MOVIE "EK VILLIAN". I watched it and loved so much that I wanted to write it.

Two Years Ago, Forks
An older woman stepped from behind him, who seemed like his mother, her tears flowing down her cheeks and then looked at me. But then something unexpected happened.
She smiled, fucking smiled at me. But not the sad kind or the happy kind. It was the scary kind, where you can practically feel the hate flowing towards you, like it would choke you any second.
She grabbed the gun from her youngest son and then pointed at me. I didn't flinch. When you are in this business, you know your days are numbered and that at any instant everything could end.
But she didn't shoot me. She threw the gun aside.
"You believe in justice, son? I believe in it. Revenge is for weak hearted people. I don't want revenge. I want justice."
She looked at her son, where the flames were coming down and then looked back at me.
"You think you are invincible. I can see it in your eyes. But you are wrong. Someday, you will feel what I feel. You will hurt so much, that you will beg for death. Pain will be the only companion of your life. So, enjoy while it lasts."
With that, she turned around and walked away…
2. Confrontation
Present time
Seattle
I woke up abruptly gasping. I was so tired. It was the nightmares and they had started again.
This time much worse. This time she was there too... And blood… God, so much blood…
I shook my head and got up to get ready. After all I had promises to keep.
I walked the same path I have been walking for weeks. And then I felt a presence behind me. Abruptly, I turned around pointing my gun at the intruder.
He laughed.
"Relax. It's me. Your friendly neighborhood ex-cop." Mike Newton said, raising his hands up in surrender. I didn't budge.
He sighed. "I think I know who killed her."
My gun slipped out of my hands.
"Aro. He…."
"NO." I shouted. I knew what he was trying to do.
"Aro would never do that to her, knowing how much she meant to me, knowing that she was my whole life. So you could shove this crap up someone else's ass. I can see why you were fired. You want to kill him, you do it yourself. I'm not your pawn, and I'm definitely not your friend."
I turned and was about to walk away, when he called at me again.
"Fine. I will tell you about the real killer."
I raised my eyebrow at me but then just shrugged.
"Alright. Let's hear it."
"I don't know his name or what he looks like. But she was not the only victim of his. He has done this before. I tracked records, legally of course, and found that about a year ago, another body was found identical to hers. Same height, same eyes, brunette and of her exact age."
I gulped, knowing this was not good.
"And? Was he caught? What else did they find about him?"
"Yes. But he was put into some psych hospital for being a mental case. That's all I know."
"Thank you. But I think I can handle it from here now. Thanks for the help."
I turned and then walked away. I knew where I was going and so did Newton.
As soon as I reached home, I grabbed my keys and sprinted towards my car. It took me all but 15 minutes the way I was speeding to reach my destination.
I had known this house like the back of my hand since I was five. And as soon as I stepped in, memories flowed through me. But this was not the time to reminisce old times. I had a job to do.
"Ah! You finally returned. I knew with her gone, it would be a matter of time before you joined your old life."
"So, it's true. You did this. All of it, just to bring me back here."
"WHAT? Do you think so low of me? Would I kill the one person who gave you your life? It broke my heart every day to see you empty, but when the girl came into your life, you changed. You became alive. How could I kill a person who gave me what I wanted for 20 years?"
"I….." I choked up, knowing he was telling the truth. "I'm sorry. I had to ask. I believe you, Aro"
"It's ok, kid. You are not just like my son, you are my son. Remember that. I would do anything for you."
"I was hoping you'd say that. But I'm not here to join again. I want to find him."
He laughed. "Of course. Take Demetri with you. He can find anything and anyone."
"Thanks."
Aro beamed. "You are my son, Edward."
I nodded. He picked up his phone and then quickly messaged someone. Within seconds, Demetri came in. "I want you to go with Edward. Help him with whatever he wants. You get me?"
He nodded. "Go, now Edward. Remember you can always come to me."
"Thank you. And I'm sorry about before. I was stupid to accuse you."
"You weren't, Edward. Remember the rule: Trust No one, not family not friends, not strangers."
I nodded. I turned and walked out, Demetri on my tail.
So what did you think? Review and let me know.
