The truth is out

BPOV

I couldn't hide any longer; there was no need to hide any more for once in my life I was able to trust another human being other than myself. I released the mental block I had mastered over the years to block out my past and the memories came rushing back to me. Taking a deep breath to slow my higher than normal heart rate I motioned for Edward to pull over into an empty car park and proceeded to release information of my past.

"Let me get this right I've told you about my childhood and what little I have had of an adult hood, right?"

"Ye-ah," he stuttered, "about your mom and Jacob all of that." You could tell he was nervous bringing it up and angry considering the flame of fire ignited in his eyes.

"I would not call her a mom by any means but yes I understand you know where we stand at this point."

With the most terrible part of my past relived and known the next part was telling him why I ran off after tan... Her spoke to me.

"Well at your house you will be glad to know that was the first place in a while I had felt relaxed and Ava has fed off my emotions as well. I felt fine until I saw Tanya we had met previously and it had not ended well. I am not sure how to put this, but let's just say she was the one who told Jacob to abuse me. Our life together was fine for a while I held a small job at the local book shop and whenever I got home he would cook tea for me and it would be on the table waiting, I honestly thought it was love."

"How does Tanya come into this then?"

"Well this is the weird part we were on a health kick about two months into our relationship. We were going to be one of those couples who spent time together exercising; we were on a walk along the cliff tops when we bumped into Tanya. I was immediately suspicious of how she acted it was over the top you know? She was too friendly in a way and even though it was obvious Jacob knew her he kept denying it. I went off to the side to look at the waves crashing against the rocks and as I turned back they were shaking hands in an agreement however they quickly stopped when they saw I was no longer distracted. Then she acted like she stumbled knocking me over, bearing in mind we were on the edge of a cliff. If I was a centimetre closer I would have been over the side, without apologising and a smirk she flashed in my direction she ran off and that was it for a few months. One night after coming home from work Jacob was on the phone I missed most of the conversation but I did hear him say ' the plans in action' and 'she's home I have to go' I knew it was about me as I was the only other person who lived there that was the night the abuse started. The night I learned about Ava and the night I planned my escape was the same night I saw him on the phone again. I had been cleaning up my wounds from the last beating and I walked past the bedroom door to put the first aid box back into the bathroom I could hear everything he was saying and because he was on speaker phone I could hear everything she was saying as well. It was Tanya again they were talking about how her engagement was a faux and just a way to get money and how I was a way to hide their crimes as I was the chief of polices daughter and Jacob was dating me. No one would believe them if they were accused, they had done this all over the country multiple amounts of times accounting quite the jackpot."

The shock on Edwards face was clear he didn't know about all of this " I knew the marriage was a scam that much I heard but its obvious she is much better at keeping quiet more so then Jacob, that must of been the same night I heard her talking about how I didn't make her sign the pre nup."

"Exactly quite the plan wasn't it."

"It would have been great if it actually worked." Then his face dropped a bit "why did you put up with the abuse why did you not tell your dad he could have done something."

"What do you think he threatened me with Edward? Do you not think I was scared? Do you not think I thought of that no! He said he had the means to kill him if I had as much of uttered a word to him or anyone else." Hell I don't even know where my farther is anymore."

"Would he not be where you last saw him I mean he does not sound like the type of guy to move around a lot."

"I went to visit him a winter last year hoping he would accept me back into his life with Ava it was the worst winter for decades and I was fairly sure by that point that Jacob and Tanya would have moved on, when we got there I waited in some shrubbery on the opposite side of the road, I saw him, god, he looked the same, same clothes, same moustache everything but there was one noticeable difference there was a moving van and he had a native American woman with him, he kissed her and there were two little kids on the lawn it was clear he had moved on." Tears were rolling down my cheeks its not everyday a child has to admit there only parent who they thought loved them had gotten a new family.

"Oh Bella!" Edward exclaimed. "I'm sure he still loves you and missed you every parent whose child runs away or goes missing never forgets they will always be there in the back of there mind."

I had enough of his sorrow and motioned for him to enter back onto the highway right now all I wanted was to get home to Edwards apartment and tuck my little girl into bed this had been an eventful day as it was and I could not wait until I got into a proper bed tonight. It was then I vowed that tonight would be the last night I would see the alleyway and shelter there was a much better one awaiting me under Edwards's presence.

As we were getting out of the car Edward turned to me, "have you ever thought of hiring a private investigator to find your farther?"

Now there was an idea.
