Bella POV
Jasper leans over to kiss my head after he checks his messages and he looks like he is relieved.
"What is it?" I ask him out of curiosity there is only one thing that I could thing of that would relieve Jasper this way. "
We found the bastard. Charlie is one the way to pick him up now." I knew that Jasper wasn't going like what I had to say next but he was going to have to get over it because this was something I needed.
" I want to go with you Jasper he was after me, he wanted me, he killed because of me. I need to see what happens." I say it so fast that when Jasper dent say anything I am thinking that maybe i didn't make a complete thought and take a deep breath about to spit out again when he starts
" I don't like that idea Bella, I don't want you even in a room with him but if that is what you need then so be it. But I will warn you that he will not walk away, he will die by my hand, he killed my mother and sliced her body up he wanted my woman I will kill him in the most violent way I can." This was the side of Jasper that i was expecting the cold, calculating hard mafioso but I understood him I knew what I was asking and I had heard my father kill and watched as well I knew that in this setting Jasper wo uld be a killer ad I would have to accept it.
As we disembark the plane my papa is there along with Garett and some of Jaspers men waiting for us. I run to my papa and hug him here whispers " Isabella mia dolce figlia sono cosii felice che tu sia tornata."
I know when my papa speaks Italian he is worried for me he must not be thinking well right now I squeeze his middle.
"é papà va bene io soon qui he preso cura di me." I love him and his concern and love mean the world to me I let him go and return to Jaspers side he shakes Papa's hand and they both nod.
"I am going to go home and wash the island off of me." I walked away knowing that Jasper was going to interrogate him and so would papa and that was not for me to see I knew that Jasper would keep his word and I would be able to see his face before he died but that was all. Jasper kissed me before I got in the town car with Garett.
" Are you going to your place or mine?" Jasper asks me with a crease in his forehead. His concern for me is endearing.
I laughed " I gave up my apartment before we left for the island handsome." I shut the door and Garett laughed pulling away from the curb. Jasper came home well after I was asleep and showered and crawled into bed with me.
"Happy Valentine's Day Sweetheart" He breathed in my ear before he kissed my cheek. I went right back to sleep as it was late or early I am not sure which.
When I woke up the sun was bright and the bed was empty. I turned over grabbed my phone off of the nightstand and saw that Jasper had wrote me a text "Happy Valentine's Day Sweetheart" I am not sure if that meant he was not here or what. After my morning routine I went into the front of the condo in search of the nectar of the gods or as some people call it coffee and there he stood in basketball shorts and nothing else.
"Wow a girl could get used to this." I said rather loudly in the quiet space Jasper chuckled lowly.
" I thought that was the plan was to marry and live together forever." I smiled brightly at him because that was our plan and I liked it.
" Touché you do have me there. However there has been no ink to paper quite yet. I should know contracts are my thing."
He brings around the breakfast bar a steaming cup of warm deliciousness "I think I could love you for this kind sir." I say it without thinking and he looks a little hurt. And I wonder if he realizes that it is to late for me I love him already.
" Well then Ma'am I will do my best to do this more."
After a delicious breakfast that I can't believe he cooked, as many men in these families are spoiled rich boys that think cooking is woman work, we sit on the couch and relax.
"So I have booked you a day at the spa and Edward did the same for Rose I didn't think you would mind being with her. And I actually have a favor if you don't mind finding out what the hell is going on with her Edward said that she is ditching her guard and staying out all night he is worried that she is having an affair and we both know how dangerous that could be."
All I can do is nod because that is a crazy thought because being found that your loyalties are wavering is a very dangerous thing. I imagine that there has to be another answer to what is going on I can't imagine a woman who grew up in this life would be so stupid. I leave around lunch time for my spa time and I am honestly excited I haven't had a day to myself since this whole whoralwind began.
I arrive and check in before Rose is there and the attendant gets me a glass of champagne and have a seat to wait for Rose. Minutes later she come skidding through the door and she looks so much different since I saw her a couple weeks prior. Her normally prim and proper appearance is disheveled her hair looks as though she has not showered in a few days her clothes look untidy and oversized. She looks as though she has gained some weight and my first thought about her appearance is given clout when she refused champagne with a slight shake of her head. Ahhh she must be pregnant which wasn't a bad thing unless she was having an affair.
We first went in for massages which was always my absolute favorite part of spa day. We spent the better of the afternoon having small talk and I drank a good amount of champagne because why the hell not.
"Rose what is going on with you? Are you doing okay?" She looked at me her blue eyes wide with what really looked like fear.
"Bella everything is fine just a little crazy right now." She says with a real edge to her voice that tells me to back off but that just makes me want to know more.
"Rose I know something is up and I also know when people are lying and you are lying. If he is hurting you tell me I will have it taken care of and not tell Jasper if that is your worry." I didn't think that is it but if it is I will call in a favor or two right now because hitting women is not acceptable.
"Bella, Edward would never hit me even if I deserved it Esme would skin him alive. I have made a mistake Bella a giant mistake and I have no way to fix it without huge blow back."
Jasper POV
When we landed in Chicago, Bella went home I went to the O'Mays to have a conversation with Peter who up until now had always been an enemy but if I had my say about it we could become allies. The drive over was quick enough but I was tired already our small getaway was over and life was chaotic right now.
Peter sat in the back with only two guys around him, in a lot of ways we were the same loyal to a fault, young and taking over from our fathers.
"Hey Peter how is it going?" I put my hand out to shake his as I approached.
"Hey Jasper thanks for coming by. I take it that means that me turning that prick over was met with good fortune." He smiled a bit at me.
"Yes, it did thank you it means a lot to me. He wants to hurt my fiancé and I will not let her live in fear. So what does this mean ? Can we discuss where we go from here my father has turned all operations over to me and I will be married less than a month so my transition is complete."
"I want us to become allies Jasper our families not liking one another is bullshit old world hate and none of that has to do with us. I think that if we, you and I, can keep this shit on a friendly scale then we can make it work."
I nod I know what he is saying could work if we could get the "old men" out and stay open with one another. We talked for a while and made some future plans. Over all it was a good time but I missed Bella and knowing for a fact that she was in my bed right now I wanted to be there with her now.
I had planned a spa day for Bella for Valentine's Day and I hoped that she would love it. I woke way to early the next morning to my phone buzzing on the table. I crawled from the bed begrudgingly because I had got home so late that I only got a few hours of sleep but I knew if it kept ringing it would wake Bella up.
"What?" I answered the phone curtly.
"Whoa bro I was just calling to ask you for a favor?" Edward's voice was quiet in my ear as I walked out of the bedroom I shared with Bella.
" Yeah" was my only answer I wanted him to explain before I said yes.
"I need to know what is going on with Rose, Jazz I need to know why she is being the way she is. I am afraid she is having an affair and her being your sister or not we know how both families will see this."
"Fuck, Ed do you think she would tell me? Because I am one of the last people she would admit a betrayal like this too." My mind is racing because if this is what is going on she will be expelled from the family for good.
"No brother I do think that she would tell Bella which is why I booked Rose a spa day as well. Will you ask Bella if she could just talk to her for me?"
"Yeah I can ask her and I will let you know."
"Thank you Jasper I appreciate it."
