The ride home was filled with the light breathing of my girl's slumber. Bella had fallen asleep, head pressed against the window with a little pucker of her lips. I turned down my road, to the mansion. I shook Bella awake so she wouldn't miss the view of the house. She blinked a couple of times, her nose scrunched up as she focused on me. I smiled at my angel and nodded towards the window.

"Take a look at your new home angel." Her mouth dropped open, eyes bugged wide.

"Wow," She whispered while turning around to Cathy. "Cathy, baby. Wake up!" Cathy jolted awake rubbing her eyes. She did the little thing with her nose Bella does. I smiled.

"Look Cathy, look!" Bella squealed pointing out the window as we came up to the gate that surrounded the property. A huge grin of wonderment settled on my little butterfly's face. She began to bounce in her seat, looking all around taking it in.

"This is where you wive..." Cathy said exuberantly.

"This is where we live. This your home now too, my little butterfly." She squealed clapping her hands. She began pointing different parts of the property to Bella and me.

"Wow, it's like a castle for princesses...what are all deez people doing here?"

The car came to a stop in the grand entry way of our home. This house has been in my family for generations, but was only ever used for balls, dinners, and grand events. My parents at one point lived here, but moved when my mother, Esme, decided she would pass it down to one of her children. She wanted to see her grandchildren grow up here, and thought it best that she not live here because she wanted to decorate and renovate to her taste. So, they moved to another home where my mother would feel comfortable doing what she wished to the house. Now, she'll get her wish. I found my self excited of the prospect of redecorating with my girls, it meant they were a permanent fixture in my life and our home.

I walked to the back pulling Cathy out of the car, settling her on the ground. Bella came to my side obviously still dazzled by the sight. I wrapped my arm around her waist, holding Cathy's hand and guided them into the mansion.

"They work for me. They guard the gate and do other things I need them to do. This is your castle now, your Aunty Bella is the queen." I bent down and threw her on my shoulders, bringing out a fit of giggles, "And you my darling little butterfly are my princess."

"Ok, just don't wock me in a tower!"

"Never." I gasped in mock horror, as the girls continued to giggle.

I snapped my fingers and Alec appeared in front me, but he was staring at Bella with lust. It took everything in me not to beat the shit out of him. I wanted to gouge out his eyes, cut off his dick and shove it down his throat. His only saving grace was my girls, I would never want to expose them so fully to the dark side of my life. I tossed him the keys.

"Go put the food away, and park the car." I barked, he cowered and backed up.

"Be careful with the eggs and froot." Cathy said. I could see her little finger waggling over my head. I smiled, but my face was quickly over come with anger when Alec glared at her. I could feel my little butterfly quiver on my shoulders, as Bella's breath hitched.

"If you want your eyes to stay in your head, you'll stop looking at my girls that way." I said in a low steady voice.

"Go do as I say. Also, I want all the guys here in my office at 1a.m tonight for a meeting, dismissed." He nodded and quickly shuffled out the door. I'll need to let them know that they were going to respect and protect these girls as they do me. As far as I was concern, they were now my girls slaves.

"You shoulda said pwease." Cathy whispered. I laughed out loud all my tension melting. I placed her on my hip and looked into her eyes grinning.

"I should have?"

"Aunty Bewa said it's... manners!"

"Cathy" Bella chastised."You shouldn't talk to adults like that, it's rude."

Cathy's head bowed in shame. I frowned, but Bella was right Cathy did need to keep her manners. She would be around other mafia lords, at times, and she needed to know when it was okay to be so candid. I would never let anyone hurt her, but I would rather her not be exposed to the tempers of my kind. I still hated to see her sad, though.

"Oh, hush love. She didn't mean to be rude." She gave me a look that almost made me shake in my boots.

"Love he never does anything properly without thorough instruction anyway. Besides she is the princess, and these are her loyal servants." I said dramatically.

I would sit down with Cathy later to explain whom she should keep her tongue with, but after I explained it to Bella.

"Huh, just don't spoil her."

"Of course." I knew there would come a time, many actually, were I would have to deny my little butterfly what she wants. It'll break my heart to do it, but nothing is worse than a spoiled brat. That's the last thing I want for Cathy.

"Come angel, let me show you the kitchen." Her lips twitched fighting a smile. I guided her into the kitchen and her breath hitched as she gazed upon it. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed my cheek.

"Oh, Edward its beautiful! I love it." She said it like I just gave her a diamond ring. I smiled and placed Cathy on the counter.

She proceeded to swing her legs, hitting the cupboards in merriment that only a child of innocence could have. Alec walked in the kitchen with a couple other guys with the food. They began to unpack, but Bella told them to leave it, so she could organize it herself. She put stuff away, every now and again shaking her head as she saw how bare my cupboards truly were. Cathy would pass her things and comment on how I must have been starving. She filled the air with her meaningless chatter, happy for the attention. When Bella was done she sighed happily. I walked up to her, leaned against the counter smirking at her.

"You know," I said slyly, "We have another kitchen in the basement..." I turned my cheek waiting expectantly, she giggled and gave me another chaste kiss.

"Eww... Stop that. Aunty Bewa don't ya know boys got cooties." She shook her head at Bella, and we held back our laughter, "and, and , and you said you're not supposed to give away hugs and kisses to guys witout proper wooing, I see no wooing." She pointed her finger at Bella. Bella gasped.

"Your right, sweat pea. There was no proper wooing. Not even a date... Now, this villain has come to steal away my heart without, so much as a single rose. It seems I am of the weak when it comes to this man." She threw her hand on her head as if getting ready to faint.

"Villainy fief!" Cathy echoed.

I walked to Bella and gripped her hips. I pulled her close flushing her body to mine. I stared into her eyes as our breathing got heavy. I whispered huskily,

"I give you my home, my heart, and this beautiful kitchen to dance around in, and yet you want a rose to complete the 'wooing' procedure." She nodded face red, her lip was between her teeth.

I gently removed her soft bottom lip with the brush of my thumb. "But it seems my angel has bewitched me. I would give you the world if you asked for it. If you wish for roses, I will plant a field of roses on this land."

"I think I'll take you up on that offer." She breathed.

"Aunty Bewa if your done being wooed, could I get someting to eat. I didn't eat all day and I hurt." Cathy groaned while rubbing her tummy.

Bella broke away and stood in front of Cathy. I frowned in concern. I walked in front of my little butterfly and she leaned her head on my chest.

"You didn't eat at daycare, I know I filled the food budget. Catherine Swan, were you playing with your food again?"

"No," Cathy whispered. "Mom didn't take me because you couldn't pick me up. I had to stay in my room 'cause she had a bunch guys over. They were making a lot of noise..." Tears welled in my angel's eyes, I nudged her to the fridge.

"Make her something to eat, love. We can talk about it later, but right now she needs food." I whispered. She nodded and rushed to the fridge, pulling food out as fast as she could.

Every part of my body was burning in anger. This no good slut, was having a damn gang bang in the living room, while her three-year old daughter is locked in the bedroom. She didn't even leave snacks for the poor girl..bile rose to my throat as a thought flared in my head. I took her face in my hands.

"Little butterfly?"

"Hmm," She whispered. I swallowed, truly not wanting to ask, but I know it has to be done.

"Did any of those men ... touch you. Did they touch your private parts or hurt you in any way." Bella squeaked and I could almost hear her heart pounding in her chest.

"No," she whispered, "Why would they do dat?" She looked at me with curious eyes. I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding, and could hear my angel say a quiet 'Thank God'. I ruffled her hair and wrapped my arms around her.

"Just asking, my little butterfly. You'll know why when you're much older." I whispered. I could feel her little head nod against me.

Bella appeared moments later with a turkey sandwich, apples, yogurt, and a tall glass of milk. Cathy's eyes brighten as she said thank you to Bella. While stuffing her small mouth. Buzz, Buzz. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I pulled out my phone and saw it was my brother, Jasper. I looked at Bella apologetically and she smiled softly.

"Go answer your phone." Cathy nodded in agreement. I smiled and walked out the kitchen to answer the phone.

"Where the fuck have you been? Me and Em been blowing up your damn phone. You need to get down to warehouse 6. We got some shit to deal with." Jasper yelled into the phone.

"What the fuck could be so fucking important that couldn't wait till tomorrow. You knew I was getting my girl, who ever is there can sit till tomorrow."

"I would except this is the guy who has been stealing the drugs and selling them, for the past month."

"Finally found the little thief, huh. Fuck." I sighed exasperated. I didn't want leave my girls, but this fucker has been a thorn in my side since we figured out everything was not matching up. The little shit needs to be dealt with. "I'll be there in 20 minutes."

"Good, we're already here. Just waiting on you."

"Wait, who the hell was it?"

"Michael." Jasper spat.

"Who?"

"You don't recognize the name because he's that low in the ranks. He's just a body."

"Fuck, that means we gotta another little rat crawling around."

"Yea, it had to be someone real high up there, because few has access to this shit."

"God dammit."

"My thoughts exactly." I hung up the phone and ran my hands in my hair, frustrated as hell. I walked into the kitchen to see my angel covered in flour, while rolling out dough.

"Angel," She turned with a smile on set on her face, and I hate to be the one to wipe it off. I stepped in front of her placing my forehead on hers.

"That was my brother, Jasper, something came up. There is some business that needs my immediate attention." Her face fell instantly.

"Do you have to?" Cathy whined. Way to break a man's heart.

"Sorry, girls, but yes I do." Their frowns deepened. I lifted Bella's chin.

"Hey, now. I'll be back for dinner." Her eyes shined again, showing satisfaction. She looked at her watch and her grin grew. It was 5 o'clock.

"So, you won't be gone long."

"No, angel. One hour, two hours tops. Promise." Cathy let out a excited clap.

"Good, dinner should be just placed on the table when you walk in." I kissed her on the lips. It was quick, but sensual. She whimpered at the loss of contact. I smirked thrilled to bring out that reaction, even though I was also dying to bring her back to me. I gave Cathy a swift kiss on the cheek.

"I'll be back soon." I called out while leaving the kitchen. They chorused a goodbye.

I walked out the front the door and called for my Ranger to be brought to me. I looked across the field and noticed Seth standing there. I signaled him over.

"Did you see the two girls I brought in?"

"Yes, sir."

"Those are my girls. I want you to take care of them while I'm gone. This could either get you something real good, or real bad. Know if anything happens to them, if I even see a tear stain is on their blouse, I will hold you personally responsible. Got it?" I raised and eyebrow. He gulped.

"Yes, sir. I'll take good care of them."

"Good, I'll know you will." I patted him on the shoulder and gave it a squeeze for good measure, he winced.

"Go, they're in the kitchen." He nodded and proceeded to the door. Seth was good. I trusted him. I just needed to make sure he understood if he didn't die for them now, he'll suffer for them later.

My ride pulled up and I got behind the wheel. I sped off to the warehouse. My hands were clenching around the wheel as I wished it was around this Michael's neck. Letting darkness take over I leaned my head back, as I thought about the shit head waiting for me to tear him apart.

At the moment I was no longer a family man, I was a mafia lord and I was ready for blood.

Well I hope you all liked it. Please review. Thanks again for reading.
