A/N: Thank you for reading! Now without further adieu...

Read, review, && enjoy! ^.^

I knew that now, it was just the matter of waiting.

A waiting game.

And I had all the time in the world thanks much to my immortality. I wanted to seek revenge on Ryan and on Bella. I knew that if I got to Bella first, that would also be a blow to Ryan as well.

Two birds, one stone. I thought to myself. And if Ryan loves her as much as I think he did, this could kill him…slowly.

I've been watching Bella and Amy for some time now. I knew Bella would cry to Amy just like she always did as a child. So, of course, Amy ran back to New York when Bella called.

Oh how loyal.

Amy, on the other hand, has been two timing her human lover with a live in vampire lover.

I never knew she had it in her. Really.

All the while Amy was entangled, Bella chose to play house with my recovering victim.

The question was…

Does Bella still love Ryan enough for my plan to play out?

I figured now was the time to set my new plan in motion. You would be surprised at how easy it was for me to get a new ID and a scent masking perfume out here on the streets of New York.

Thank you Victor for your simple lessons.

Paying a visit to Amy will let them know that I was back and ready to strike, again.

Actually, I never left.

"Well…hello there." I grinned at the woman exiting Amy's suite wearing a maid's uniform.

Kinky. I thought to myself as I observed the circumstances before me.

Not only was Amy screwing a human but this vampire as well. At the same time, here he was screwing this maid too.

What a fucked up group. I mentally laughed to myself. Maybe they all know about each other...

"Goodnight sir." she whispered, trying her best to avoid eye contact with me as she hurried towards the elevator.

For a moment, he stood there, watching me cautiously.

"Why are you here?" asked a handsome blonde vampire.

I will admit this, Amy had great fucking taste when it came to men. As I soaked in the sight of him, I could sense he was much older than me.

Just a taste? I mean, it looks as if we all have something in common.

I grinned, "Is that a way to greet a friend of Amy's?"

"Is that right?" he asked, semi amused.

I stepped forward but felt a void, forcing me back.

Fuck it.

"You have thirty seconds to start talking." he warned, clearly irritated.

I couldn't help but laugh. "Or what? The big, bad vamp will eat me?" Yeah right… "Just tell Amy I was here okay?"

Without another word, he closed the door in my face.

On second thought, fuck him. Asshole.

I looked up and watched as the elevator counted down the floors.

One…lobby.

Then the bell to the elevator ringed, alerting me my floor was approaching. Seconds later the doors opened to reveal Bella.

My lips curved upward into a toothy grin.

"I wasn't expecting to see you here." I lied

Just who I wanted to see.

It took a long moment to take in the new me before she retorted.

"Touché." she said calmly. "What brings you here? Last I heard you were at your parents villa." she hissed.

My parents villa. I thought angrily, memories of my last hour there flashed through my mind. Where it all began.

"I didn't realize we were on speaking grounds." I said, stepping out from the elevator.

"Just because we left things the way we did doesn't mean we cant be civilize." she sighed dramatically. Why should I take her fucking advice? The last time we spoke, this bitch cussed me out. Fuck her and her 'civilize' bullshit. "Is Amy up there?" she continued.

I could hear her heart racing. I knew for a fact that I intimidated her.

Good.

I grinned, "I was wondering that myself."

Maybe Amy wasn't up for any visitors after having a threesome?

She looked at me and frowned, "Um, okay, I take that as a no."

"Amy isn't home but her vampire boyfriend is."

"Eric?" she laughed. "Yeah right. I never met her fiancé yet but I can tell you right now from what she's told me, he's very much human." she shrugged. "I don't think marrying a vampire is legal just yet."

Fiancé? What the fuck?

"Amy is getting married?" I asked, shocked. "Why didn't she tell me?"

I could tell that she was regretting saying anything to me. But I couldn't help but feel hurt that I wasn't told. I mean, I kept my promise to name my son after Bella, just like we agreed to years before even though things between us was fucked up.

Fiancé? I may not need an invite but she could've at least told me about it.

"I just found out about it myself." she quickly said. "Maybe she is hoping to have lunch with you before sharing the wonderful news." Lunch? I'm a fucking vampire. "Well, I better get going." she mumbled, turning around to call for the elevator.

"Did you know Ryan is getting married as well?"

I'm not letting this bitch get me side tracked, not this time.

"I heard about it."

So that vampire is Eric? The Eric Ryan told me about? I thought to myself as I mentally replayed the memories of my past in my mind. Interesting.

"So that's the Eric…your Eric. The vampire." I said, putting the pieces of the puzzle together.

"Excuse me?"

I winked at her, "Until we meet again." I said before disappearing into the dark streets of New York.

Past:

"Did you know that Bella is fucking a vampire?" Ryan screamed at me as he shoved his way into my apartment.

I rolled my eyes as I closed the door, "Come in."

Just when I thought things between us was back on track, here we go again.

"Juliette called me a few days ago, telling me Bella was back in town." he groaned. "I went over to her place hoping to speak with her and then that dead thing showed up!"

I sighed, walking back to my couch, "What are you talking about again?" I asked, bored out of my fucking mind.

"That vampire!" he screamed, "And I know she's letting him eat her!"

I wanted to cover my ears until he was done venting.

Great…now I have to hear him bitch too?

"Ryan, honey, don't take this the wrong way but please explain to me how this is any of your concern?"

Last I checked, they were over and he was here warming my bed at night, not hers.

His eyes captured mine and if looks could kill, I would be about as dead as the vampire hes rambling about right now.

"Eric, he is a vampire. He could kill her if he wanted to." he groaned. "I love her still and I cant just stand here and let-"

He just had to go there.

I stood up grunting and now pissed the fuck off, "Oh my god! Will you listen to yourself? She doesn't want you back, she clearly moved on!" I screamed, "I'm sorry Ryan, but its about fucking time that you face those facts. Its about time that you moved on as well." And its time that I face the fact that he will never be mine. "Why are you even here?" I asked in an icy tone.

So over this damn kiddy games.

He shrugged not sure where to start. "I don't know."

"Well leave. You don't want me, Bella doesn't want you, guess we all don't get what we want." I told him. "Just leave already and leave me alone. I'm done being the woman you run to just to get your rocks off. I'm done waiting around for someone who will never want me back. I'm just done…"

He gritted his teeth, "Lily, you don't mean that."

I scoffed, "I don't? I met you several years ago in Vegas! We had a world wind romance that lasted over a year!" I exclaimed, "Then out of the blue and…" I scoffed, "…over the phone, you break it off with me! Over the fucking phone? Really?" I shook my head. "Oh but that's not the best part. You dumped me for my best friend and when you found out that I was pregnant with your son, you wanted me to abort him!" I wiped away the tears that ran down my cheek as I hugged myself. "Never did I imagine all those times that we made love meant nothing to you. I never imagined that in the end, you would reject me and our child that we made together before Bella." I gritted my teeth, "Ryan, I do mean it. I'm tired already. Its time that you leave."

He frowned as he looked down at me, "I wish that I could love you back the way I once did but I cant."

I smiled through my pain, "I don't." I told him just before retreating to my room.

But I did. I told myself as I balled my eyes out. I do…

I only said those things because I was trying to be strong in front of him. I wanted him to love me the way that he loves Bella. I wanted him to fight for me the way that he fought for her. I didn't understand why she meant more to him than I ever did.

I saw him first.

I wish that I could rewind my life. I wish that I could go back to that night in Vegas and change that one moment. The moment where I let him into my life and into me.

"I wish that I never met him…" I whispered angrily.

I need to get out of here and away from this bullshit. I thought about it. Vegas.

Present:

I waited from a distance and watched for Bella. Not long after I left, I saw Cristiano go into the building only to exit furious.

Trouble in paradise?

About ten minutes after her boyfriend left, Bella did as well. But back to his place is where she wasn't going. Instead, I followed her to a hotel.

Looks like something happened and hiding her face in this cheap hotel is her last resort. I grinned widely, basking in her despair. Wow Bella, I didn't think you could be such a whore, but you managed to pull that off with such perfection.

"And my plan is back on track…" I whispered to myself as I walked up to the concierge. "That woman who was just here, Isabelle Knight?"

He raised a brow before nodding. "Yes?"

I smiled, "Could you do me a favor?"

He leaned forward, "If you think I'm going to give you a key to her room-"

I chuckled, "No, no, I wouldn't ask that of you." I shook my head, "I actually want you to give her a note in the morning." I told him as I reached for his pen, "Could you do that?" I asked as I grabbed the hotel stationary next to the monitor.

"Sure, I could give her-"

I held up a finger, "But she mustn't receive this note until morning, understand?" I pressed him.

He nodded, "Morning, understood."

I smiled widely as I wrote down ten simple words.

'He isn't the perfect man that you think he is…Lily.'

I folded the note, slipping a twenty between the folds and handed it to him. He reached for it.

"And if you fuck this up, I know what you look like and I know what you smell like. I will come back for you…" I warned him, flashing him my toothy grin. "Morning. Isabelle Knight." I reminded him.

He gulped as he nodded repeatedly, "Yes ma'am."

See you in Mexico Bella…
