Hello people...I wanna thank all who supported me and this story. Thank you for being there guys. Love you all...

Now let's get on with our story...shall we? ;)

Stranger POV:

I watched as a beautiful brunette stepped out of the car. She had killer looks and a face that could make the angels cry. Wow... I've never seen that chic before. Wonder what she's up to.

Oooohhhhhh. This is good... This is really really good. I watched as the notorious cold hearted Cullen swallow her small frame in his hands and kiss the hell outta her. She had him wrapped around her little pinky, that lil bitch. And he looks at her like she's the answer to his prayers... Well this would most certainly be the bargaining chip that I need.

I smirked. This info is gonna be worth a shit pile of money. I've been tying to find that weak spot in his armour for so long now. Didn't think I'd be successful. And now that I have... I plan on using this to get what I need. Money.. And revenge on Cullen. Edward fucking Cullen... You're going down.

Bella POV:

"Hey Bella. You look radiant today. Care to share?" Angela greeted me as I was about to enter my office.

I proceeded to wink at her and entered my office without exactly answering her. Let her stew for some time. I giggled quietly.

I was in an exceptionally good mood today. Well it started from Edward's cute text.

Good morning baby girl. I love u... Have a nice day today... And think about ur gorgeous boyfriend. ;) -E

Needless to say, I've been doing exactly that. Thinking about him, I mean. It was the first time in my life that I felt so happy. A family.. I have a family ... That thought warmed me to my core.

I replied to his cute text saying i love u too Edward.

Sigh... I was counting seconds till I get to see him again.. Which would be in six hours ,I guess.

The phone on my desk rang, shaking me out of my reverie.

"Isabella Swan." I answered.

There was no voice from the other side. Hmm... Maybe it's a wrong number?

"Hello? Is anyone there? " I asked again.

I was greeted again with nothing but silence. When I was about to hang up, I heard a small noise of someone exhaling.

Well that's creepy. I quickly hung up not bothering to spoil my good mood. Yep. It must be a wrong number.

I quickly got to work on my laptop regarding my new project. There was so much to be done. And even though this thing is pretty complicated and required a lot of effort, I loved it. Time passed by as I checked and rechecked the basic algorithm of my program for any flaws. I proceeded to make the improved version of the program I had written earlier, over writing any errors that might have happened.

Satisfied with my work, I went to the systems lab where Tyler was again working with the program.

"Any success Tyler?" I asked him from behind, as he was typing away furiously in his laptop.

"Shit Bella! " He jumped from his seat. I guess he was so engrossed in his work ,he must not have heard me coming in. Well, it happens to the most of us.

I laughed. "Sorry Ty. Here is the corrected one. I made some improvement on this one. Compile and run it for me will you?".

" Sure sure.. As long as you promise not to sneak up on me the next time." He narrowed his eyes.

"Sorry." I grinned sheepishly. I saw him fighting a smile and knew I was forgiven.

With that I went back to my office. On my way I grabbed a granola bar from the vending machine. Chewing the bar, I got inside my office once again. I stopped mid chew...

Something's wrong here.. I looked around to find what had triggered my instincts so badly. There on the couch I saw a small package..

Huh that's curious. Usually the staff lets me know if there's any delivery for me. So who brought this here?

Oh wait. Edward. I smiled .. It must be him. I was instantly relieved. Placing the granola bar on my table, I walked toward the couch to pick up the package.

It was a red package of about average size with a blue bow on top. A book?...

Curiously I opened it. After removing the beautiful red cover, I saw a plain white box. I sat on the couch and lifted the lid.

I was instantly shocked! What in the name of hell?! I dropped the package and it's contents spread on the couch.

I could do nothing but stare at it with a look of horror on my face. It definitely wasn't Edward who gave me this..

With dread coursing through my veins like vampire venom, I did the only thing that came up to my mind.

"Edward? I'm scared." I said pressing the phone to my ears with one trembling hand, after calling him on speed dial.

Edward POV:

"Are you sure you are up for it son? You can rest some more." Carlisle told me as we were standing in front of the warehouse.

When Em had called dad to let him know that he caught the mother fucker who helped James Hunter, I stood up from the couch where I was sitting and without saying a word, went to my room. After putting on my Armani and making sure that the new Beretta was tucked safely in my back, I took off with dad. Jaz wanted to come too. But we didn't let him for two reasons. One, he was still a little banged up. Two, he could do more damage here, with a laptop, than on the field with a gun.

"Yes I'm sure. Now let's go." I said in a cold ,clipped tone.

I walked in to find quite a bloody scene. I was greeted by the scent of fresh blood and urine. We're dealing with a coward.. I see. There was six of my men inside of which two were standing in front of the coward slowly torturing him to death.

"Well what do we have here?" I said in a calm tone. The fucker looked almost in his mid twenties with brown hair and blue eyes. My boys did a pretty good job on him. He had a wide gash on his forehead, his nose was broken and blood poured out of it freely. He appeared to be covered in bruises. And I haven't even started yet.

I walked closer and took my gun out. With the trigger pointing at his temples, I asked "I'll only ask this once. Who do you work for?" I had a vague idea on who sent him, but I wanted to confirm.

" Go fuck yourself " he spat. Wrong move jackass.

I smiled at him and pointed my gun lower and shot. The asshole howled in pain and started crying like a baby. I snorted. Wimp. Well thats goodbye to his chance at having kids. Not that he's gonna live longer than today.

" WHO SENT YOU?" I asked enraged.

"Mm.. Marcus Volturi." He coughed out.

I could hear dad inhale sharply behind me.

Marcus Volturi. Where do I start? Known for his notoruisly cruel ways, he was a cold blooded killer who wanted nothing but money, power and women. He had an extensive racket of drugs, black money, prostitutes.. You name it. If there was anything dirty, it had Marcus's name on it. While the other mafia families were bound by honor and code, he had neither. The man played dirty, even going so far as to rape his own wife and selling her for a good price. Yeah he was the definition of evil.

Although he had considerable influence and money, he never could reach up to the Cullen name or influence. We were his biggest enemies and he made sure to annoy the fuck outta me with his continued attempts on making my empire fall. He had two brothers- Aro and Caius Volturi, both equally malicious and power hungry as their brother, but from what I could see, they respected family. The trio was quite feared in the mafia world, but not as feared as I was. I had more money and power than they could ever dream of and that was why they were behind me.

"Figured." I snorted.

Suddenly the man in front of me started laughing. Well I think he lost it. Better end this low life.

" Be careful Cullen. He's after your most precious wealth." He said deliriously.

I snorted. " I could give a fuck." I answered.

" Oh you should. We wouldn't want to cause any harm to poor, innocent Isabella now, would we?" He said and then continued laughing.

A cold chill went down my spine. I punched the fucker on his face and heard the snap of his jaw. Dislocated.

Well good. He deserved it. " What about Bella?" I spat, venom lacing my voice.

" I was asked to give information regarding anything new. And I did. I told them you have something you cannot afford to lose." He said and started laughing again. That son of a bitch. He put MY Bella in danger.

Without a second thought, I shot him point blank.

Carlisle who stood silent the whole time, put a hand on my shoulder.

"Son, it's not safe for her anymore. We should get to her as soon as we can."

I nodded. Yes. Bella, my Bella. I should get to her, I should .. A cell phone ringing shook me out of my reverie. "Edward, it's your phone." Dad said.

I took my phone and saw my angel's name. I immediately answered.

"Edward? I'm scared" her shaky, low voice rang out in the silence of the room.

Without saying anything, I bolted out the door with dad hot on my heels. I needed to get to my angel and fast.

Ooh. I guess Bella is in trouble now huh? Poor Edward.

I hope u all liked the chapter. Leave me a comment and lemme know. Love you all..
