5. Another Way to Die
EPOV:
Bella was in my arms, her head on my chest, her hands drawing lazy circles through the hair there. My hands were running through her naked back. I was breathing the sweet scent of her hair. That was one of these perfect moments in my life. Those moments which switch everything in other direction…
I hummed happily, enjoying the moment fully. She stirred her head and sighed. I swore that she could hear my heartbeat and my content breathing. She moved her hand to my belly where my muscles clenched. My movements on her back halted and I gasped. I could feel her smile on my chest.
"I love what I do to you." She whispered and kissed my chest. I smiled.
"And you have no idea how much I love what you are doing to me." I responded, inhaling that feminine scent. She giggled quietly and her hand came again to my chest. The bracelet clanged quietly on her wrist.
I sighed. I was falling very hard for this woman. I couldn't find a word for how much I wanted her. If someone told me before a week or two that I will find the girl of my life, I would laugh in his face and thought that he was crazy.
But here I am. I am ready to give her everything mine and just ask her a simple request: Be mine. I wanted her to be mine. I don't think that I could bear to see her with other male monster. I know that it sounds egoistic, but that was how much I wanted her.
I pulled her tightly to me, so her leg came across my thighs. She took that as an invite and moved her naked milky body on my lap. She bent down, her face inches away from mine and whispered against my lips, "But mostly, I love…what you are doing to me." She breathed heavily against my lips.
Her sweet scent was hovering me, devouring me. I taste the tingly feeling on my teeth, the need to kiss her. She licked her bottom lip and waited some seconds before brought her mouth to mine. I groaned when I tasted her soft full bottom lip. She shared the same passion while moved her lips in perfect match with mine.
She moaned softly, and moved her hands to my neck while mine cupped her cheeks. Our bodies were trying to find some friction between them desperately. I ran my tongue through her bottom lips, licking softly and the sucking.
She opened her mouth, giving what I needed desperately. I placed my tongue in her hot mouth, exploring her mouth. We tangled our tongues together then, both enjoying the taste of each others. I groaned when she stirred on my already naked raging erection.
I growled and placed my hands on her hips and dug my fingers into her soft flesh, "Bella…" I whispered and lifted her bottom part of me. I looked at her and saw what was probably in my eyes – lust, need, and care. I nodded for her to do that what she was planning to do with me.
I hardly could give a fuck what she will do to me. If she wants she can tie me up, she can rip my heart in pieces…and I wouldn't mind it. I loved what she can do to me.
We gazed for a few moments and then she placed her hands on the base of my throbbing cock. That touch made me moan slightly. The tip of my length was on the entrance of her hot, wanting sex. She looked at me again and bit her lower lip, trapped it between her teeth and closed her eyes. She was so beautiful right now. The energy I felt right now…I couldn't explain it. I felt like I was the happiest and the richest man in the world.
I gripped tightly her hips and eased her down on myself. The move made my muscles of the stomach tighten. My eyes shut down immediately and scraped my bottom lip. I growled silently while she gasped. I opened my eyes to see her – her back was arched, her perfect breasts perked up with her hardened nipples. She threw her head back, her hair grazing my thighs. It was the most erotic sight I've ever seen.
We started slowly pace, just enjoying the feeling to be together. She was so tight, and so wet…I couldn't get enough of her. Every next thrust was becoming harder, and deeper…but not faster. I wanted to enjoy as long as I could…to enjoy her body longer.
My hands roamed over her belly, to her back, waist, ass, and there was no part left untouched. Her hands were on my chest, scratching the flesh with her nails. I growled loudly, while her moans became breathlessly and needy. "Edward…I'm close…" She gasped, moving her hands to my shoulders, gripping them tightly.
My fingers dipped in her hips again and pushing mine to her as far as they could go. She rounded her hips and groaned loudly, scratching my shoulder blades. I knew she was very close. I was too. My dick started throbbing in her tight sex. I hissed.
I felt how my orgasm overtook me. My stomach tightened, and my whole body convulsed as my shot went deep inside of her in few spurts. She cried out as her walls clenched tightly around my throbbing length. "Bella…" I groaned loudly while she was whispering my name breathlessly. I closed my eyes for a few seconds.
When I opened them, Bella was panting heavily on me, her whole body with a thin sheen of sweat. Well, my body was sweaty too. I was panting too. She looked down at me and smiled. I chuckled, "Come here…" I said. My voice was till husky when I took her in my arms. She fell down, her chest crashed with mine, curling my hands around her tiny body. She was very light, and thin. "Bella, do you eat something?" I asked her and made her chuckling.
"Sentimental, again, Masen?" She said, and moved her hand and head to my chest. I laughed, I couldn't stop it.
"Only with you." I said and she sighed contently. I kissed her head, gripping her tighter. "Bella…I want to apologize again for earlier that day…But I want to tell you that you really mean a lot to me and…" She lifted her head, so she could see me and waved her hand to stop.
"Edward, don't apologize. You did nothing." She said and I nodded.
"Exactly. I did nothing. And I should've done something." I stated, looking at her hands. She huffed silently.
"Don't blame yourself for that. This is my battle. The victory will be sweeter if I do it alone." She said, cocking her eyebrow and running her finger through the hair on my chest. She looked down, "I'm sorry for what I said to you…I was just very angry and sad…" She made a pause and then chuckled bitterly, "You saw the black side of my life."
I shook my head, "Bella, don't think like that about it. That is already past…" I didn't know what I was talking about. Really. I huffed.
She didn't say anything. She just rolled off of me with one last kiss on my chest. Bella sat on the bed pulled the sheet over her. "You shouldn't do that. I prefer the natural beauty. Without any complications between your body and mine." I said as I sat up, drawing my hands through her shoulders.
She shivered slightly, when my stubble touched her shoulder. She chuckled warmly, "Do you realize that we spend the rest of the day here?" She asked softly.
"Mhmm…And I don't have the intention to leave that place…that bed." I pulled her again in my arms, while she laughed hysterically.

BPOV:
I realized something. No Tanya – no problems.
Not that I didn't know that but now I am just proofing it.
It passed four days since the last visit from Tanya. Everything was okay. I would say perfect if I didn't know that she'll come back. Edward and I started spend more time together, and most important thing – we started to really talk about each other.
No, no, no. Don't get wrong, I didn't tell him how I was feeling about him. I wasn't ready about that. I touch and I was burned once, I'm not going to do that again. But it was hard not to do that. Every time I see him, I wanted to shout it from the roofs.
I shook my head and came back to the real world – in the BMW, waiting for Edward to make his preparations with the tapping and recording machine. He was not happy about me getting alone with Bree Dawson. Not at all. He sat silently beside me, with a frown on his face. He handed me a little devise, without looking at me.
"Here." He growled quietly, "With this you'll hear everything what I say to you." He looked at me, "And if I say out – you are out. Right?" He asked. I wanted to laugh but I putted my lips in a thin line and nodded, while putting the thing in my ear. He huffed, "Okay, Bella. Laugh how you want." He said/shouted.
I screwed my face at him, "Edward, will you just stop worrying? I'm just in, making a small conversation with her, and then I'm out!" I said, getting frustrated. He huffed again and muttered something like "yeah, stop worrying equally to impossible". I shook my head.
He took another little device, but that one was with tiny cable. It was the microphone, "Let me take care of this." He said distractedly and held the bug in the air, "Unbutton your jacket and shirt." I did as I'm told, while he ogled very carefully the sight in front of him. He sighed and placed the microphone in the middle of my breasts, between my skin and the lacy textile of the bra. "Okay. You are ready." He said with a deep sigh.
I buttoned my shirt and made up my glasses (I was really getting undercover) in the exterior mirror. Now I should call Bree. I pulled my phone from the bag and cleared my throat before dialing the number. The phone beeped twice before I heard a nice feminine voice of the other side.
"Hello?" She sang.
"Good afternoon! I'm Christabel Swan, the agent. You still remember our meeting, right?" I asked.
"Oh! Of course not, Ms. Swan! Actually, I am waiting for you. I am glad that you find time for me. Thank you again for the previous calling." She said, but she sounded bored.
"You are welcome. I will be there for five minutes. Now, I am sorry, but I have to drive. I can't wait to see you, Ms. Dawson."
"See you later, Ms Swan. Oh, Christabel… Do you still remember my address?" She asked.
"Of course I am."
"Okay, then."And she hung up. I sighed and pulled the phone again in the bag.
Edward spoke. "Bella. Please, if you really care about me, be careful." He watched at the steering wheel with a desperate gaze.
I bit my lips and placed my hand on his shoulder softly, massaging the place in slow circles, "Edward, I care a lot about you." I confessed and leaned my head to him to kiss his cheek, "Sometimes I think that I'm the luckiest girl in the world, when I know that I have a man who is really taking a good care of me." I said the only thing that should pick up his interest.
He looked at me and a soft smile played across his lips, "Sometimes?" He asked, expecting an answer. I rolled my eyes and smiled. Hell, yeah, those were the true Edward and the true Bella!
"Okay. All the time." I said, and now he fully smiled, showing his perfect teeth. He leaned to me and kissed my forehead, and then both of my cheeks.
"Thank you for that." He whispered, "And you don't realize how lucky I am to hear that from you." He said, and he sounded sincerely. I smiled and looked down. "I'll be waiting for you…" He whispered.
The sound of that simple sentence made me so enthusiastic and happy. It meant a lot to me. I'll be waiting for you… Wow!
I just didn't think when I crushed my lips to his. I'll be back, Edward. I'll be back for you… I wanted to say the words out loud but I couldn't. He returned my passion and opened my mouth with my tongue. I grabbed him by the hair while he held my neck.
The kiss longed few seconds until he pulled away from me, panting, "We should stop because I won't be able to let you go," He whispered. I sighed, knowing it was true. I nodded.
"I better get going," I nodded again and bit my lip. I locked his eyes to mine, the green was drinking the brown, "I'll be back." I said and squeezed his hand. He looked at me and nodded.
"I know you'll be." He said.
And with that I opened the door and hopped off of the jeep and took a deep steady breath. I could only hear Edward's erratic breathing from the bug in my ear. I sighed and bit my lip.

Is everything alright?
No.
Am I ready?
Yes.
Okay, let's start the show.
I started walking with big brave steps, giving me confidence and security. I was heading for Bree's place, which was one block from here, so if something happens at all, Edward can pick me fast as he could. I pulled the bag tightly to my body since there was a gun to hide. I didn't want to be uncovered.
I got in front of a big red brick building with a shiny glass door with a black frame. I swallowed hardly before getting in. "Bella is everything alright?" Edward asked through the bug. I jumped a little. It was so surrealistic to hear Edward without seeing him. Also it was little hurting. I blinked few times before I realized that I had to answer. "Bella?" He asked again more urgently.
"Yeah." I whispered, "I'm in." I whispered again. I came in front of a solid steel elevators in a big black lobby. Hmm, stylish.
The doors opened and got inside. From the elevators speakers I could hear classic music which I immediately recognized. It was the seventh symphony of Beethoven. My dad really taught me to be a fine respectful lady. I chuckled as the memories came into my mind.
"Care to share the big fucking joke, B?" Edward asked me again and I jumped again with a sharp intake of air. God, that is scary. He was like some a voice from the heaven who is calling me…
Aw! Stop Bella!
I huffed, "I am stopping talking to you, Edward." I whispered. I was still in the elevator, so I still could talk. "You are acting like fucking prick!" I was really offended of him because he really was overreacting with that shit. And I am mad at him. I didn't joke when I said that I am stopping talking at him.
I closed my mouth in a thin line and put my poker face on. I had a job to do. Then I should fix my social life. The doors opened and I stepped out. I was looking for apartment C12. The hall was in black again like the lobby down there. There were a few retro lamps hanged on the walls. The doors were black and letters on them were golden. Really, really stylish.
I finally found the door and knocked three times. The door opened was opened after ten seconds and tall woman, maybe in her middle thirties, welcomed me with a cold smile, "Ms. Swan." She nodded her head, her short honey-blond bob cut bounced and she showed me her white sharp teeth. I would tell you, she was trying to look nice. I am sure that her face is full of buttocks and her tits were fake. I am a girl, I could say.
She had bronze tan, proof that she has been on holiday this summer. Her green-brown eyes were glaring me with selfish smirk on her face.
I finally made a fake smile, "Ms. Dawson. Nice to meet you." I replied kindly. "May I come in?" She didn't invite me, so I took the things in my arms. She faked an eye-widening and her mouth dropped open.
"Oh, please, excuse me," She moved her non-shaped ass form the door and let me in.
"Thank you. Shall we start?" I should confess to myself: I didn't waste any time. Well, my time was precious and I didn't want to lose it.
"Of course. Make yourself at home!" She said with a fake smile again. " The living room is right down the hall. I'll come after minute. Do you want something to drink?" She asked, but she didn't seemed so interested.
"Just water, please." I said with a smile. "I need to prepare myself." I headed to the direction for the living room.
When I reached a big glass door with a mahogany frame, Edward spoke in my ear again, "Bella, it's not late to get out of there." He said desperately. I just huffed. I couldn't talk to him. Not right now. And even the circumstances were other I will not talk to him because he got to learn that I am not a four years old and I can take care of myself.
I shook the thoughts of my head. Work, Bella. I opened the door and all I could see is beige. Beige couch, beige table, beige carpet, beige drapery, beige walls. It was the most boring and monotone room I've seen. But something other occupied my mind. Two big fucking men were standing with their arms crossed on their chests. And then some other detail: They had guns.
The bitch has security. The men were very, very big. So big that Emmett will probably look like a boy lost his mother. They didn't scare me. Because they didn't say anything, they didn't do anything. They were just standing there. They were boring and probably they are dumb like mooses. I just sighed and just waved at them, "Hi." I murmured and sat down on the fucking big beige couch. The Gorilla One and Gorilla Two didn't say anything in reply. I heard huff from the bug. "Okay, don't talk to me." I didn't say anything at his comment.
I huffed and produced the file with the fake documents in my bag. Actually they were not fakes. Aro knew the boss of the bank and helped us. They said, that they will not take the documents and give us full access to the bank. I was kind of mind bottled how this could happen to me. This was my first case and I already had a respect from my boss, few other people, and most important – from my partner.
I was interrupted when Bree got in the room with a platter. She recovered her fake smile and placed the platter on the coffee table. She dropped herself in front of me on a big ottoman and putted her arm on her knee and her chin propped on her tight fist. She was bent down, so I could see her breasts from the thing blue shirt she was wearing. She had absolutely no taste about clothing, furniture, and men. She was Phil's first wife, so that didn't count for a good made point.
I looked at Gorilla One and Gorilla Two again. They didn't move. At all. Bree cleared her throat, "Don't worry. They'll not do anything. Just sometimes…You have to be secure…You don't know who can betray in the next minute…" She said, looking at me strange.
"Bella…" I heard Edward in my ear. He was desperate.
I took a deep breath and tried to concentrate on the conversation with Bree. "Of course you don't know…" I whispered in challenge. I shrugged of my jacket because the room was hot like hell. "Now, I want to ask you about your previous accounts." I said, acting like I was busy with the pile of blanks in my hands.
"What exactly you want to know?" She asked.
"The basics. When you signed in, signed off. How money you use of the bank and how money you gave." I said, still 'very busy' with the documents.
Bree was talking calmly, which was getting on my nerves. She told me everything and that was actually that true. I knew that stuff. I just wanted to be sure that she will not lie me any further.
When she finished the little summary, she looked at me with scrunched eyes. Her lips were in thin line, "Excuse me, Ms. Swan. I think I left…something in the kitchen. I'll be right back." She pulled out her fake smile and got away from the room.
What the hell happened? She did not left anything in the kitchen… She was… Oh, no… realizing something. I looked again at Gorilla One and Gorilla Two. They didn't move.
"Bella, be careful! Please." Edward pleaded me. It was like he was here, but he wasn't. Like he can see what I see, but he can't. I looked down at my hands on the lap.
Oh my God…Please…If you exist; get me out of this place. I closed my eyes. And let the new wave with thought wash over me.
What if she is now talking to Phil? But how she knows? Oh no, I screwed up. Very hard and very bad. Now what should I do?
I am sure that they will not let me go. They could kill me or worse – kidnap me. Of course, that is a good scene – Isabella Cullen, kidnapped. If you want her back, you better pay…
I shook the violent thoughts of my heart.
My other option was to run…fast. Because I know that Gorilla One and Gorilla Two will be chasing me. I saw an emergency stair case when I came here. I could run down there. And then I can run the one block and be back to Edward.
The third option was…Well, that wasn't an option. I had a gun in my bag. But I could use it only for defense.
So, there was my plan. Combination of number two and number three.
But still, I wasn't very comfortable and relaxed.
Bree came out of the door with the fake smile, her eyes sparkling. What the fuck? Come on, show yourself, honey…
She said again on the ottoman. "So where we had been, Ms… Isabella… Cullen?" She prolonged the last word.
My mind snapped.
Shit. She knows.
"Shit. She knows." Edward whispered disbelievingly in my ear.
I sucked my breath and my eyes widened in disbelieve. Now was sure – she knows. Phil knows. Everybody knows.
I had to keep my shits down. I swallowed hardly, "I don't know for what are you talking about, but can we go back to our business?" I tried to stay cool…But the truth – I wasn't.
She smiled, but this time the smile was not fake. I t was one of these evil smirks, that tell you "you shouldn't be here." But here, I am with my luck – standing right fucking here.
I closed my eyes. "Ms. Cullen." Bree said through her teeth, "You are in the Academy, but already you have a case to work?" She clapped her hands dramatically, "Impressive, Isabella. I should have known." She laughed. "Again, impressive, Ms. Cullen!" Now she laughed hysterically.
"Bella, back the hell off of there." Edward growled in my ear. I swallowed again. "Remember, you have a gun in your bag. Slowly reach for it." He said very slowly.
I swallowed again.
What the hell I should do?
"Do you know what happens when someone betray us, Isabella?" She asked. My jaw dropped to my feet and my eyes were so wide that I couldn't close them for second. She huffed, "I really have a trust in you…" She paused, "Well, actually I have a trust that you'll bring us money. But now you are nothing. Without the money you are useless… So what do we do here?" She asked with a smile.
The last sentence sent shills through my spine and made me shiver. That was the end…
I mean, really, here, now…There was no happy ending. I couldn't make it.
"Bella…is she the only one in the room?" Edward asked nervously, "Sniff once for yes. Twice for no." He said fast. I sniffed fast twice. The only exit of the situation was Edward. I f I listen to him maybe I'll be alive. "Shit!" He exclaimed. "Okay, Bella. I'm coming stay there. Don't move. Don't say anything! Understand me?" I sniffed once and as soon as I did that, I heard a door being closed…loudly.
I swallowed. Maybe I can get away from here alive.
"Isabella…I asked you a question…" Bree stood up and came in front of me. I was still sitting and she was way taller than me. I felt like an ant. She took my shin in her hand and pulled it, so that my face was turned to hers, "You are too beautiful to die…But you can't live, for what you've done."
God that woman was scaring the shit out of me.
She laughed in my face and her face become serious and looked at Gorilla One and Gorilla Two, "Krueger! Hans! We are taking her to Phil. He'll decide what to do with her." She said and turned on her heels and before got out of the room, she said, "I'll be waiting in the car."
And now, it was just me, Krueger, and Hans. They were coming closer and closer to me. I started to look around the room for something defending. Then I spotted the platter. There was steaming cup of coffee and cold ice water. I swallowed. Okay, Bella, breathe.
Three more steps and the Gorillas will be taking his claws on me. The plan was take my bag and run. "Bella, don't move!" Edward snarled in my ear. Well, right now I was paralyzed.
Two steps. It was like everything was on slow motion. I felt the vibration on the ground when the walked. I stood up slowly, taking lightly my bag.
One step.
Everything happened too fast right now.
I took the cup and spilled it on Gorilla One's face. "Aaah!" He screeched and gripped his face. He bent down and I hit his groin, He let out a struggled groan and just as Gorilla Two started attacking I took the water glass I spilled it on him.
He hissed and I used his weakness. I pulled the gun of my bag as fast as I could and hit him with the gun. I kicked his groin and knees and he fall down. When he was on the ground, I stepped on his ribs. He exhaled and closed his eyes.
The other guy was recovering he was ready to hit me. His punch was coming right to my face, but before I could think I just bent down slightly and he didn't shot.
I started running with the pistol in my hand, out of the apartment. "Bella, what are you doing?" Edward shouted. "Stop where you are! Right now!" He growled.
"I can't!" I screamed. I got out of the apartment and I heard loud, heavy steps behind me. Holy shit!
I kept running down the black hall, making the things very, very creepy. The steps didn't stop or creased. I ran faster. I found the door for the emergency exit, and I got there quickly. I closed the door behind me. I heard a loud grunt. Oh shit! It was Gorilla Two!
I ran down the stair case as fast as I could. The loud steps were following me again, making me so, so, so frightened.
"Edward! Wait me outside of the building I'll be out after some!" I screamed again at the stupid microphone.
"Bella! What are you doing?" He shouted.
I kept running, and running. My throat was flaming, and my lungs were empty. I couldn't breathe. But I kept running.
Never give up! I keep repeating the mantra in my head. That was my dad always said to me.
I was on the second floor already, but the steps were coming closer and closer to me. My vision became blank. I couldn't see anything. My body was in excruciating pain… No! Don't give up!
"Never give up…" I whispered breathlessly on me.
The steps were coming closer. Closer. I turned back. I couldn't see anyone. But the sounds kept going closer. I kept running. And soon as I found the door for the exit I opened it got out of the staircase. I panted and leaned on the door for a second with closed eyes.
The burning in my throat and lungs didn't stop. The pain in my body, too.
Never give up!
I got up straight and started running again. I had a tears in my eyes, but I didn't care. I just wanted to be able to see my family again. Alice, Rose…Edward…
I ran faster, but that wasn't enough. I heard again the steps. This time they were impossibly closer to me. I crossed the lobby faster and got out of this fucking place.
My eyes searched for Edward. "Edward!" I screamed with all the oxygen left in my lungs. I panted heavily, and suddenly my shoe stuck on something. I didn't fall but my foot suddenly burned with an excruciating pain. "Awwwww!" I groaned loudly and bent down.
It hurts too much. I couldn't go. I tried a step but it was so painful… I couldn't.
"Bella?" I heard the velvety voice, but not only from the bug. It was real Edward's voice.
I turned in the direction of the voice. And then I saw him. He looked very bad. His face was scrunched in pain, "Edward…"
As soon as I told the word, I felt something hitting my ribs.
It was not an ordinary hit. It was twice…no, triple pain from what I did feel in my burning foot. I screeched and fall down on the ground.
I felt my head going dizzy. I felt the uncontrollable need for sleep. The pain in my ribs didn't stop. With the second, or the minutes, the pain was becoming stronger than me. The pain was devouring me…
I felt the familiar scent of rust and salt. I felt the booming in my ears. I couldn't hear anything, I couldn't see anything…
I put my hand from where I felt the pain stronger…I felt something liquid on my hand. I grunted lightly and let my eyes close.
Shit…I'm dying…
*clearing throat* Umm, sorry. Soon, you'll know exactly what happen…
