What I Did for Love
Chapter 6
[Seoul, Korea]
July 26, 1997
Edward traced the 'B' scar on his back.
Damn, he thought. I miss Bella so much.
Edward sent out one of his men to retrieve news about her and if they could, go bring her to him here in Korea. Edward had it all. Money and power. The only thing that was missing was Bella. So much had happened to him as he remembered back.
Jasper and Edward made it to Seoul, Korea. With his leadership skills and Jasper's smooth talking, they ended up getting a lot of businesses and putting others out of business.
Money was not enough for Edward. He needed power so he created Sechs Kies, where he was the leader and Jasper was his second-in command. Jasper and Edward managed to eliminate the group Quiksilver on their own and gained the respect and loyalty of the two members Emmett McCarthy and Tyler Crowley.
Along the way, they found Embry Call and Jacob Black wandering the streets. Embry proved to be a genius and Jacob was handy in finding information.
Edward knew they were enough. They had hundreds of men under them, but Sechskies were the main leaders with Edward as the head. They committed a lot of crimes but no evidence was ever found to convict them.
Just then there was a knock on his door, interrupting his thoughts.
"Come in," Edward said.
Jacob came in. "I have news for you, boss," he said.
"Well what is it? What did you find out about Bella?" he asked.
Jacob looked down and hesitated to reply. "I'm afraid it's bad news."
Those words made him panic. "Jacob Black, you answer me now!" Edward yelled with rage.
His yelling scared Jacob so he blurted it out, "Bella Swan is dead. She drowned while she was swimming in the ocean. Her body has not been found and is still missing."
Edward fell back onto his seat in shock.
Bella's dead? No, anyone but Bella, he thought in agony.
Jacob knew it was a good time to leave so he left Edward in his office.
"Bella!" he screamed out of his window in pain. His cries echoed throughout the city of Seoul.
BPOV
I finally made it to Chejudo, Korea. I didn't know where to look for Edward so I though anywhere was fine to start looking. I was never a lucky person. I couldn't find any signs of Edward there so I traveled to Inchun City.
My search for Edward continued for another year. During that time I had traveled to many cities like Guam, Pusan, etc. It must have been a gift from God because one day my search was over…
3rd PersonPOV
November 21, 1998
Bella had just finished her overtime shift at the Swan Hotel.
It was pretty ironic because her whole family spent their lives working for hotels and here is the biggest one in all of Seoul with their family name. Bella went into the worker's lounge to take a break and pour herself some tea. She sat down and read the headlines.
Sechskies are to open a conference broadcasting live on Channel 6 today.
Bella rolled her eyes. Not them again. They were the notorious mafia lead by Brandon Cullen. She shuddered. She can't believe the leader has the same last name as her beloved Edward.
Actually Sechkies was composed of 6 leaders. They committed a lot of crimes and were always challenging the authorities. They had a lot of power and no one could take their pictures without their consent but a lot of people know what they look like.
Bella didn't care though. She was too busy looking for Edward to notice them.
A person who worked with her, Alice, came into the lounge.
"Hey," she said, patting Bella lightly on the knee, "On break?" Bella took a sip of her tea and nodded. "Me too," she said smiling.
Bella smiled back at her. Alice was actually one of the nicest people at the hotel. Most of them were cold and just worried about how much tips they can get.
Alice picked up the TV remote and turned to Channel 6.
"Hey Bella, there's supposed to be showing Sechkies today. Wonder what they look like." Bella nodded and watched with her. When the clock struck 9, she felt like her heart had stopped, and it was not from her heart failure either. Bella stared at the face that was giving a cocky smile to the camera.
Edward.
Slowly the camera pulled out revealing the other 5 members.
Bella also recognized Jasper. He and Edward looked completely different but she still recognized them. Edward had his hair dyed completely brown while Jasper's was streaked.
Alice and Bella watched them in silence as they began to talk. Edward and the others introduced themselves. Then the camera showed directly at Edward.
To most people he would look like an evil gang leader but in Bella's eyes he was a beautiful angel. If it was even possible, Edward was even finer than before.
"Bella, are you okay?" Alice asked as she waved a hand in front of her face.
"Huh?" Bella said looking at her. "Oh, I'm fine. Just listening to what they have to say." She pointed to Edward on the screen. "Who is he?"
"That's Brandon Cullen," she answered her.
Bella stared at Edward some more. He had changed his name and so did Jasper.
No wonder she couldn't find them.
Alice caught her staring so she smiled at her. "The leader is cute huh?"
Bella blushed, "Yeah."
"Too bad in real life he's such a jerk."
"He is not!" she yelled at her.
Alice scooted her seat back in shock.
Bella apologized right away. "Sorry Alice, I didn't mean to yell at you."
She had a confused look on her face but she said, "Uh, it's okay Bella."
Bella pulled a finger to my lips. "Shh…let's listen to what they have to say…"
Edward began talking. "This is Sechkies speaking to all you losers out there watching us. We just want to say that we're open to hire new 'employees'. We usually travel around to our many hotels but you'll find us if you have the right connections. Also a word to the police of Korea…why are you picking on us?" Edward asked sarcastically. "We're good, law-abiding citizens." Edward folded his hands together and gave a little bow.
Then all of the Sechskies leaders started laughing.
"Oh my gosh! Look at him!" Alice yelled and pointed to Jasper on the T.V. screen. "Look at that stupid smile and that perverted laugh. Kekeke…" Alice made a poor impression of Jasper's laugh and it made Bella laugh.
Geez, she thought, Jasper would kill her if he knew she made fun of his trademark smile.
The show ended a little too soon for me but Edward did say he was visiting many hotels and mine is the biggest one.
He has to come here.
Bella went back to work and waited for him to come.
Edward entered the main doors of the Swan Hotel and headed towards the lobby.
He let out a sigh. Being in a hotel brought back a lot of memories he had with Bella. He remembered how he would take Bella to the hotels to trash it or slide down the long stairway banisters, but those carefree days are over. Edward's only love had died, and he no longer has the heart to love anyone else.
Ever since the news of Bella's death, Edward began to develop a passion for anything he thought that is related to her. Things like her hairbrush, the same type of lip gloss she used, her little respirator, etc.
There are times when he had to give her mouth to mouth if the respirator wasn't around. Edward smiled remembering that she had told him that he was her first kiss. Bella never went out with any guys so it made Edward really happy, but he also found it very strange. But because he didn't want to give her any ideas about dating other guys, he had never asked.
Edward changed his name to Brandon to symbolize that Edward had died along with Bella and Brandon replaced him.
He chose the name Brandon because of Bella's initial 'B' on his back, so if anyone asks, the 'B' stands for Brandon.
Jasper wanted to change his name to Ryan but Edward wouldn't let him. He only allowed him to change his name if it had the letter 'B' so Jasper ended up changing it to Bryan instead.
"Hey, hyung! Over here!" Jasper shouted.
Edward looked over at his five friends. He walked over to them and was surprised at what he saw. "What the hell is this?" he asked angrily. Every single one of them had a girl in each arm. "What do you guys think you're doing?" he asked as he strode over to them.
"Come on hyung," said Emmett. "Lighten up."
"Yeah," Tyler said. "We worked hard all day and now let's have a little fun."
Edward rolled my eyes and saw two girls who wrapped their arms around him.
He smiled, "Yeah, I guess."
"Alright!" they all shouted.
They like it when Edward was in a good mood.
From where Bella was standing, she felt as though someone had stabbed her with a knife.
Edward looked so happy with those two girls sitting on both sides of his lap.
Bella stared at her reflection in the hotel mirror. Big, glassy eyes, pale skin, and waist-length brown hair. She kind of looked like a ghost. Not much to look at, she thought sighing sadly. Then she felt a tap on her shoulder. Bella slowly turned around.
"What are you looking at?" Alice asked.
Whew. She let out a sigh of relief. It's just Alice.
"They're here," she whispered to her.
"Who?" she asked and looked over Bella's shoulder.
"SechsKies."
"Oh. Do you want to go serve them?" Alice asked her.
She shook my head 'no' quickly.
Alice laughed. "Okay. Don't get so worked up, Bella. I'll do it." She took a waitress pad and headed over to their table.
Bella remained in the corner watching them.
"Hi, my name is Alice and I'll be your waitress today. May I take your order?"
All the SechsKies members looked up at her when she approached them.
Instantly Jasper made the two girls on his lap move. Then he looked up at Alice, giving her his best smile. "I don't know what I want for dinner, but you want to be my dessert?"
The other 5 Kies members laughed while Alice rolled her eyes. "That's so cute. Must have took you all day to think up that one huh?"
"Ooh," Embry shouted. "This one has a mouth."
Jasper just smiled. "Feisty. I like it."
Then he pinched Alice's side playfully.
She moved away, glaring. "Hey don't touch me!"
"Come on babe. Go out with me. I'll show you a good time."
"Hell no!" Alice shouted back in his face.
Then Edward stood up. "Don't talk to my friend like that," he said in a low threatening voice. "Or else I'll have you fired."
Edward's glare made Alice move back a little bit but she answered back anyways. "You can't fire me! I quit!"
She handed Tyler her apron and pad then stomped over to Bella in the dark corner.
"Stupid, lousy jerks," Alice whispered to her.
"I know," Bella whispered back, patting her shoulder.
Then she caught Edward staring at her. Bella didn't know what to say or do so she just left.
