Chapter 4

POV

"You may kiss your bride." the judge said

I was married to the most gorgeous woman in the world. I never thought this day would come everyone around me has everything they could ever want and will never be as happy as I am at this moment but we need more. I just hope she will forgive me for what I have done and what is to come but I know that soon she will understand what I did and why I did it. God she was beautiful dressed in white, I wish things could be different but this is the only way I can get what I want and what we need so we can be happy. She deserves to be showered in gifts and to have all the finer things in life. I know she claims to hate that but I know that she is just saying that I know all girls want nice things and expensive jewelry I mean Rose loves all that stuff and I know that if Alice had money she would too.

"Congratulations!" everyone said.

Bella was close to a few people and they where called last night to inform them of the wedding we did not get married the next day but we did wait two days. The wedding guest consisted of just Charlie, Alice, Angela, the judge and these two witnesses I payed. I just hope they all do what I said and get lost after today never to be seen again, the judge needed the money and the two witnesses needed a ticket out of this state which I got them. It was noon and we got married at the courthouse here in Forks following a small little gathering at Charlies house. I bought a small house close by for her I hope she likes it. Nothing is going to get in the way of the love I have for her nothing

"Edward, are you okay?" my wife asked. Wife I can't believe it.

"Perfect, I was ..." I was cut off by my phone going off. I look and see that it's important.

"Let me get this it's work must be important" I said as she nodded and walked away

"Boss everything is ready, when do you get back?" Felix asked

"Soon" I said

"Everything and everyone knows what to do we just need to make sure you are home so this can take place. We don't want people throwing the blame on you" he informed me

"I know I can not afford for this to go wrong so far everything is going according to plan. I might need you to come out to Forks in a few days and take care of some other things make sure everything I had set up here went perfect." I whispered in to the phone

"Okay Boss just let me know when and where and I'll get it done." was his reply just as Bella came back.

"Good Em I'll be there as soon as possible we don't want them to back out of the contract." I said

"Sorry Boss didn't mean to interrupt anything I'll see you soon" and with that he hung up

I hung up the phone and looked at Bella, she had a sad look on her face but there was something else I just could not figure out. I wrapped my arms around her to make sure she was okay.

"I'm sorry babe but I have to leave tonight and I would love for you to come but I was not planning to take you home so soon to meet the family because our house is not ready and I wanted to keep you all to myself for a little while. I will send for you as soon as I can, okay?" all I felt was her nod her head so I pulled away from her.

"Will you be long it was suppose to be our wedding night?" she asked

"I will send for you as soon as I can and we can than have the most amazing wedding night ever." she smiled and gave me a kiss on the check.

"Okay I'll let my dad know I will be staying here tonight..." I cut her off.

"No you won't you will stay at the house I have bought for us here. You can even have Alice stay with you for a couple of days so you won't be so lonely." I told her

"House? You bought us a house here and in Seattle, why? That is too much Edward!..." again I cut her off

"Nothing is too much for you, now go let Charlie and Alice know and have her pack a bag so she can spend some time with you while I am gone." with that she turned and left to look for both of them just as my phone rang again.

"Hello" I said rolling my eyes I knew who it was and I did not want to talk to him. Why did he feel the need to check up on me it's not like I care what happens to him.

"James, it's Edward where are you I need to head out of town for business but I should be home in a couple of days I just want to make sure you will be here to look after mom and Rosalie. You know how Royce got once he was served the divorce papers I need to make sure nothing happens to our sister." he said

"Yeah I am on my way home right now don't worry your pretty little head over it" I said and hung up.

This is going to be so easy soon I will have everything that should have been mine from the beginning. I just hate having to do this to Bella but she loves me and I know she will forgive me when she sees what I did for us.

"Bella I have to go but I'll call you in a few days." I told her when I found her with Charlie and Alice in the other room I hope none of them herd any of those phone calls that could be really bad.

"Okay be careful" she said and with a goodbye kiss on the cheek I left. I guess the next time I see her it won't be as Edward but as myself, she will understand what I did for her, I know it.

BELLAS POV

I was somewhat relieved that Edward had to leave tonight I was so nervous about our wedding night. I had never been with anyone and I did love him but I don't think I was ready maybe these next couple of days will help me prepare for it.

"Alice, have you seen dad anywhere?" I asked

"No, why? Are you okay?" she asked

"Yeah I'm fine but it seems Edward has to go back and fix some problems at work so I'll be staying here in Forks, he bought us a house and he wants me to stay there with you for a couple of days."

"Really, we can do some sister time before you leave me forever!" she was so dramatic she knew I could never leave for forever she was not only my little sister but my best friend and confidant. We told each other everything and we could read each other like a book.

"I guess this is a relieve to you I know you were nervous about tonight now you can prepare for it, huh." see like a book she knew everything

"Yeah, I just think that I need a few days to process things before. I think it was just that I didn't have time to process the whole thing and prepare myself for everything that has me so nervous." I said

"Or you know you did not want to marry him so quickly better yet you know that he is not the one and your real true love is somewhere out there still." she put her hands up to stop me from cutting her off " Just hear me out I know you care for him but I don't trust him sometimes he is so secretive, I mean you haven't met his family yet. I just feel like he is hiding a big secret from you and I don't want you to get hurt your my big sister and I love you more than anything. Whatever does happen you know that both dad and I are going to be here for you, But do me a big favor do not let him hurt you."

"I know Alice and maybe you are right I was not ready to get married. I just feel like he might be the only person who will ever see me the way he does. I feel special with him" I told her

"Bellla! You are special and beautiful, I am honored to call you my big sister you don't need Edward to tell you that just please be careful with him" she was pleading with me

"I promise Alice I will be careful."

ALICES POV

"I thought he had a few days off." dad said

"Yeah he just got a call from work, it's okay dad Alice will be with me and it is only going to be for a few days." Bella said just as Edward appeared

"Bella I have to go but I'll call you in a few days. Charlie I really wish I did not have to leave but I need to handle this little problem at work, you know how it is." Edward said

"It's okay Edward, we'll take care of Bells for you" dad said, something in dad's tone did not sound right. I think dad might not be to trustful in Edward.

"Thank you sir."

"Be careful" Bella replied he gave her a kiss on the cheek and than turned around and left.

"Okay lets go pack me a bag for the next few days." I said

Once I was packed we told dad that we would be back first thing in the morning. The house Edward bought for Bella was nice. The only thing was, it was not Bella the furniture was too fancy and I think she was even scared to sit on it. The place was big it had six bedrooms, two bathrooms, a den, an office, kitchen, dinning room and a large back yard. It was huge and I know that Edward had to be well off. I mean he wore expensive things but I think he might be rich, maybe that is what he is hiding and good thing than. I know that my big sister would flip out if this was his secret and I would not blame him for keeping it a secret. But I just know that it has to be something more.

"This is too much. I'm scared to sit on anything it just to fancy. He has to be out of his mind, what if I break something?" Bella said

'That's just what I was thinking, maybe when Edward calls you can ask him if he would mind if we traded some of this stuff in for something that would fit you better and that was not so fancy. Don't get me wrong I think its nice and everything but it is not you."

"I know lets go to bed and will see if he calls in the morning so I can ask." and with that we headed off to bed I was very uneasy that night. Something bad is coming what I don't know but I can tell maybe I'm just paranoid but I know that this Edward is not for my sister her soul mate is out there and very close.
