Emmett's POV

I was pissed, no wait. I was furious. Beyond furious. I don't even know if there was a word for how I was feeling. I can't believe that Jane was going to lie on me and piss my family off because of her fucking dad! How was any of this my fault? Or my family's? Her father was a sad excuse for a dad and my family or more pointedly I get the fault for it. It just wasn't fucking right. It was fifty shades of fucked up. I needed to figure out a way to contradict her rumors and make them sound like a lie, but there wasn't a way. Nobody would believe me if I said it wasn't true. It would just be another Emmett Cullen lie. Jane would be another conquest, but this time it would be worse because she was the daughter of my family's rival. And I didn't even know what else she had up that evil little sleeve of hers. I was too busy bitching out Jane in my head and being pissed that I wasn't even paying attention to where I was going and ran into a tiny young woman.

"Shit. I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." I said, grabbing her arms to steady her so she didn't fall. I noticed that she was had been crying because of the little tear marks staining her cheeks. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked her.

"I-I'm fine." She stuttered nervously. She looked like she was a little intimidated of me, which I couldn't really blame her since I was about a foot taller than her and an easy hundred pounds of solid muscle bigger than her.

"Hi. I'm Emmett. And you are gorgeous." I said, giving her my infamous dimpled grin.

"Hi. I'm Bella. And not interested." She said, before trying to step around me.

"Hey, wait." I said, blocking her path. "Look how about we go out for coffee or something since I almost knocked you down.

"Yeah, the last time I went out to coffee with someone it didn't end so well. So how about a no?" She said.

"Is that why you were crying?" I asked. Sometimes guys were such assholes. I mean, I know I'm not much better, but at least I've never left a girl wondering the streets of Seattle crying.

"Not that it's any of your business, but in a way yes. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go."

"I've had a pretty shitty day too. Why don't we talk about it over lunch? Since coffee is a deal breaker."

"I'm a hundred and ten percent positive that your day hasn't been as bad as mine."

"We can debate it over lunch." I said, with my dimpled grin again. I've never worked so hard to get a girl to go out with me before, but I liked the challenge.

She hesitated for a second, "One coffee. And after that I'm gone. And don't try to stop me."

"Deal." I said my grin becoming a full blown smile. I liked this girl. She was a challenge and I was always up for a challenge.

~TA~

Fifteen minutes later, Bella and I were at a small coffee shop sitting down with a black coffee for me and a green tea for her.

"So tell me about yourself, Bella. Why were you crying earlier?"

"Um, you go first." She said with a nervous smile.

"Okay. Well, hm. Where to start?"

"From the beginning is always best."

"Very true. Okay, well my family owns a very popular hotel line; Cullen Hotels. My whole family works together on it in different ways. My father is the President of the company, my brother Edward is the accountant, my sister Alice and my mom both work on designing the hotels. And I am vice president. We own hotels all of over the country and even a hotel in France, Switzerland, Russia, and Italy. We are currently working on a contract to build a hotel in Toronto, Canada. Well, being in such a large franchise causes us to be in the news sometimes... And sometimes more than need be. Um, I've been known as um a playboy I guess you can call it. Um-"

"Wait, a playboy? As in a man whore? A guy that sleeps with anything with ass and tits?" Bella asked, interrupting me.

"Uh yeah. Well as I was saying I've been in the news a lot because I've my one night stands. There have been a lot of people that have claimed to have gotten pregnant by me just for money. I've been labeled the 'bad boy' of my family because I've my ways. I often miss work and important meetings because I've stayed out too late and slept in because of a hangover. Well, my family has a rival; Voltori Hotels. As we do they own hotels all over the country and hotels in Puerto Rico, Russia and Japan. Well today my father called me into his office which was kind of surprising I mean I had been called into his office two other times this month because of 'misbehaving' but I had no clue what I had done this time. Well, as it turns out I had been featured in Star! magazine because I had apparently slept with Jane Voltori, the daughter of Aro Voltori, the owner of Voltori Hotels. I was shocked because my father was yelling at me, but... Well I hadn't actually slept with her. I never in met her! So I walked out of my dads office and I went back to my apartment and I made her come over. Well as it turns out. She made it all up as part of an elaborate scheme to 'get payback' as she said because according to her my family caused family problems; her dad got so caught up in his job that he stopped paying attention to his family and neglected her mother and herself. So she was using me to get my family back. She was going to cause problems in my family by using me so that I guess our business will start to fail and her dad's would do better and she could get her happily ever after. So yeah, that's why I was so pissed and why I ran into you." I said ending my story.

"Wow. Um, seems like you have a lot going on." Bella said.

"Well, lets see who's been having a worse day. Why were you crying earlier?" I asked.

"Look, the reason I was crying earlier is um, very personal. Nobody knows this story. Nobody."

"I won't tell a soul. Cross my heart." I said, mimicking the 'cross my heart' part.

"Okay. Well um, I-I you see. I-I'm sorry. I don't think I can tell you this." She said, taking deep breaths as if to stop herself from crying.

"Look, from the looks of it this must be a really hard story for you to tell. But it'll only hurt you more to keep it locked away inside of you. Would you feel better if we went somewhere more private?"

"NO!" Bella practically shouted.

"Oh um, okay." I said, confused.

"Look, I'll just tell you this. I got mixed up with some bad people and now I'm literally running for my life and I only have enough money to last me about a month or so. Oh and um, I'm uh and I'm pregnant." She said, nervously.

"Wait. So there's someone after you?! Like trying to kill you?! You need to call the police! Like now!" I exclaimed.

"No! No! I can't do that. Promise me you won't call the police. Please. Please." She begged me.

"Okay. I won't call the police, but you need to get help! You're pregnant and you're in grave danger."

"I don't have anyone that can help me!" She said on the verge of crying.

"Mom? Dad? Siblings? Friends?" I asked.

"I haven't talked to my parents in three years. I have no friends or siblings." She said her tears spilling over like a flood.

And then suddenly an idea popped into my head. What if... What if I could help Bella and myself at the same time?

"I think I have an idea that could help the both of us." I said my face breaking out into a huge smile.
