Diamond Man
Chapter 4
"You've been teasing me Doll"
O god! was all Bella thought
"I wouldn't do anything like that Cake - eater"
Edward was in front of her in a second, her breath fanning over her face, Bella closed her eyes and panted. she could smell the mint on his breath along with the booze and cigars
"you're such a vamp doll"
Edward leaned down to kiss Bella for the first time but first he cornered her into the wall, making his hands come either side of her head. Making it impossible for her to escape
"Cash or Check?"
Bella opened her eyes and looked at the irresistible man known as Edward Cullen, his green eyes burned into her so intently she feared she might melt. Bella opened her mouth and gave an answer
"Neither" she winked at him and pushed him back "Come on cake-eater, I'll buy you a drink"
Johnny walked to the club and saw the canary walking out with Cullen, he tightened his hands into fists.
"You want us to go after them Johnny?" one of his enforcers asked, they were all watching them with eager eyes, waiting for either of them to make the next move, The canary got into the car and Cullen followed, Johnny was furious…let the games begin then Cullen.
The road was bumpy in some places of the road, causing Bella's breast to bounce up and down occasionally, Edward tightened his hands into fists, she had no idea how much he wanted to suck on those nipples, to feel her body withering below him, to hear the cries of pleasure as she…
"Could you stop by my joint Frank, I'm going to see if my dad's ok"
"Of course Miss. Swan"
Edward pouted at Bella making her laugh at his impatience for her.
Bella giggled as Edward started to tickle her in the street, getting some disapproving looks.
"Stop" Bella giggled "Your making me cast a kitten"
Bella stood at the door and Edward waited for her to unlock it, only to grab her by the waist and bring her towards him
"About that cash?"
She pushed him away "You may check me later" she said with a wink, they walked into Bella's apartment
"I'm just checking on my dad real quick cake eater"
he rolled his eyes and followed her in, he took in the surroundings, it was cosy and it felt welcoming, a black and white picture of a young girl and a woman caught Edward's eye
"Make yourself comfortable, I won't be long"
Edward nodded while Bella walked up stairs to see to her dad.
Bella couldn't help but smile on her way upstairs; she walked up to her dad's bedroom door and knocked lightly.
"Dad?"
There was no reply so Bella walked in and saw her father's eyes closed, he had left the light on, Bella smiled and walked over
"Dad, how many times have I told you to switch the light off" Bella chuckled, Charlie's arms were exposed and she knew he would be cold so she grabbed the cover and went to pull it over him, only to discover how cold he really was, she looked at her fathers face and then his chest, he wasn't breathing
"Dad?" she checked his pulse and felt nothing "No, no, no, no, no" she sobbed she put her ear against his chest and heard nothing "NO!" Bella screamed and covered her mouth with her hands "Dad" she heard Edward run up the stairs.
Edward ran up the stairs and went into Charlie's room, he saw her on the floor clutching to her self, her eyes were pouring down with tears he looked at Charlie and he knew suddenly
"O no" he sighed, he walked up to Bella and picked her up
"No, I can't leave him"
"Doll, come on, it's not good for you to be in here, I'll call the ambulance"
"NO! I can't leave him"
"Don't be such a dumb Dora!" he said angrily
Edward slung a distraught Bella over his shoulder and brought her downstairs, he set her down on the couch; her slender form shook as the tears were coming down her rosy cheeks faster, she looked up at him, her bottom lip was wobbling, her cheeks and eyes were puffy and her brown eyes were watery.
"He's dead" she sniffed, Edward nodded he sat down next to her, he enveloped her in a hug and held on tight to her, she cried into his shirt, causing her to nearly fill an empty bucket
"I'm sorry Doll" Edward let go of her for a second but only to make some calls and for them to pick up Charlie.
Bella didn't know what happened next, all she remembered was feeling her sore eyes close and then nothing. She dreamt about her dad and the activities they used to do when she was little. The playful screams of a young Bella echoed the joint as her father chased her round, his hair was a darker brown and he was a little younger than he was when he died
"Papa, don't" a young Bella cried as she ran faster to get away from her father
"Never, I'll capture you princess" he laughed, he picked her up making a five year old Bella scream and kick her feet
"No papa, please" she laughed,
With the activities of that day finished, Charlie carried his tired daughter up to bed; he tucked in her sheets and kissed her forehead
"Papa?" she whispered
"Yes?"
"Can you tell me the story again of the princess and the dragon?"
"Tomorrow night Bella" he kissed her forehead again "You're tired"
A young Bella, even though she was disappointed, she nodded and snuggled deeper into her warm sheets
"Love you papa"
He smiled and felt his heart clench "Love you too"
Bella was brought out of her dream by a banging noise
"What are you doing?" a male voice hissed
"I'm trying to be helpful, Rose went thorough the same thing once and I know the perfect remedy" another man spoke but in a softer tone
"You'll wake her up" Three men?
"Shut up you buffoon you'll wake her" and a female voice, Bella sat up causing the people in her apartment to realize she was awake
"I told you" the girl sighed, she felt someone come and sit next to her
"Doll?"
Bella looked to her side and saw Edward sitting beside me "Are you…"
But before he could say anything she crawled onto his lap and clutched myself to him, Bella knew he wanted to get into her panties but right now she just needed to feel something warm and not feel the coldness which was slowly but surely ripping it's way though her body, she buried her head into his neck and breathed in his scent, he smelt of cigars and aftershave
"Thank you for staying with me" she whispered before going back to sleep
Meanwhile Maranzano and his men were planning their next move
"We get through this entrance here, now there's going to be two pigs guarding the stash me and Paul will shoot the guards and then you and Sam can get help us get the dough while everyone holds everyone down"
They nodded and he stood up "I'm going down to get myself a quiff"
They chuckled and he got in his car and went down to the same place he went to the other night
Edward held Bella as she slept, as much as this was nice he had work to do, he looked to see Emmett looking at him with a funny expression, Edward indicated for him to come closer to him
"I want you to get Demetri and Felix to guard her from outside"
"Sure boss"
Edward stroked Bella's hair away from her face, her puffy cheeks and pouty lips made her look even more beautiful. 15 minutes later Demetri and Felix were here and Edward and Emmett scrammed out, he gave strict instructions to make sure she was ok and if anyone went to see her for them to log it, they nodded and waited in the car watching over Bella's joint.
* Morning *
Bella made herself breakfast and sat down to eat it, her head was pounding as her headache worsened. Deciding very shortly she wouldn't be going out today she walked into her bedroom and grabbed her song book which her dad brought her when she was little. The emotional words she wrote described how she was feeling, the tears started to fall creating smudges to nearly every word she wrote. She heard her phone ring and she ignored it, she didn't want to speak to anyone today, she went to the cupboard and got some chocolates and got some wine out of the fridge, she was wearing her underwear and house coat, she looked in the mirror and saw her mascara had run down her cheeks and her lipstick was smudged, she looked like a round heel who's just woken up. She poured herself some wine and indulged in the chocolates. She lay her back onto the couch and put on some music.
Felix and Demetri were still outside, Demetri had just come back from getting something to eat and drink for them both when something they never expected happened. They were getting suck into to their coffee when a black car pulled up to the front of the apartments, when the car drove off they saw Johnny Maranzano standing there with his hat dipped and his coat keeping him warm, he looked up to the building and smirked, they saw he had flowers in his hands and walked into the building.
Bella was a little buzzed over how much wine she had, had. She heard someone knock on the door
"Go away" she muffled
The door knocked again, a little harder. She sighed, the box of now empty chocolates fell to the floor with a light thud, the opened the door slightly to conceal herself and saw Maranzano standing there with some flowers
"What do you want?" she asked
"I want to apologize for the other night"
"Get lost, I know what you're here for" she slammed the door shut only for it to be forcefully shoved open, he put the flowers onto the table and looked at her, she was covering herself with her thin house coat, Johnny's eyes darkened and Bella ran, tripping on the floor, she mentally kicked herself for getting tipsy, Johnny pinned her to the floor
"Get off you goon"
He held her by her throat yet again and hissed in a menacingly way
"This is why you interest me, your strength is amazing" he bit her neck harshly, removing his hand so he could bring it down to her stomach, his other hand tightened around her wrists to keep her there, she screamed in pain. Then they heard the click of a gun
"Unless you want your brain on her floor I really suggest you get off her" Felix spoke, his hand was steady on the gun, and Demetri was right behind him
Maranzano climbed off Bella and looked at Cullen's lads
"Send this message to your boss boys, because however much you guard her, I'll get to her" Johnny walked out of the apartment and out of the building, Bella held her neck in pain
"Are you ok?" she looked to see Felix talking to her, she just looked away and crawled into a ball
"Demetri, call the boss"
"You got it"
Edward was with his auntie looking at the latest jewellery Jasper wanted to steal
"I love that one Edward, it would be perfect for Rosalie" Rosalie was Emmett's wife, he kept her a secret to everyone apart from those closest to him because he didn't want her in danger.
"What about you Elizabeth?"
Elizabeth shook her head, a car screeched to a halt behind the pair and Edward reached inside for his gun but he saw Emmett gasping, he put his hand back to his side
"What's wrong?"
"It's the canary"
Edward got in the car, his auntie following him.
Edward walked into her joint and saw some flowers on the table, a wine glass smashed on the floor, with a chocolate box.
"She's in her room" Demetri told him, he saw his boss looked a little worried but he set that aside. Edward rushed up stairs, leaving his auntie and his men downstairs, he saw Felix stand outside one of the doors, they nodded at each other before Edward walked in to see Bella on her side shaking. Edward closed the door and walked to the side of the bed, he saw her hand was to her neck; her eyes looked so sore and swollen,
"Doll?" she squeezed her eyes shut
"I need to be alone, tomorrow's a new day and I can't be like this" she whimpered, Edward furrowed his eyebrows not fully understanding what she meant, did she mean something different was going to happen tomorrow, would she mourn differently?
Edward left the room and went downstairs to see Jasper and Emmett. Fond of the canary as he was he needed to complete the job
"Come on"
Edward felt a little hurt Bella didn't want him there, but he didn't dwell on it
"After the job is done, you two can go home; I'm going to get myself some round heel"
Life was cruel, so why should the great Diamond Man be any different?
The last thing I want is for this story to be sappy from the beginning, Edward is a Mafia man, he's not going be in Love with Bella from first sight, this story will be getting rougher from time to time just so you're all warned.
