Chapter 10

EPOV

I have never regretted the choices I've made that have got me here. They have all been for the right reasons. I am the only one who can get justice for my parent's death and I will or die trying. I still remember that day so clearly. The smell of the fresh flowers my father had bought my mother at lunch. The sound of the classical music playing as I helped her cook dinner, that was always my favorite time of the day. She used to call it mommy and Edward time. I was only five when they both were taken from me and ever since I have promised them that I would get justice for them.

I remember hearing the screams of my dad as they killed my mom in front of him after they made him beg to spare her. They tortured her and she couldn't scream or yell out because she was mute, she couldn't defend herself or my sister that she was carrying. My dad had come home and I heard him yell at the men who had my mom. They didn't even know I was there because they threatened them with my life and my older brother's. Said they would find us and kill us. Then I heard something I will never forget.

Before I knew it I was at my Aunts and Uncles house in Forks and Bella came into my life, but my decision was already made and I wasn't going back on it. For a while Bella was able to steer me from my path, there even was a point a year before I committed my death that I was going to back out, but I was set back on my course when I found my brother working for Aro Volturi. I knew I couldn't give up all I planned for Bella even if she held my heart, my past would always affect us and I couldn't let that happen. That is why I killed myself off instead of go missing, she would always hope and I couldn't let her do that, I wouldn't put her in that position. I wouldn't get involved with her no matter how much I wanted to, so I was a player, dated anyone I could but hated seeing her with other men. It was a sacrifice I had to make for my family, one of many and I still would do it all again.

I was 16 when I got to Chicago and started going by my first name again. It was weird hearing people call me by it since I was going by Anthony for the last 12 years and hearing my voice as well. I changed everything about me that would connect me to my family but kept my Uncle's last name so I wouldn't forget and it was common so I wouldn't be connected.

I spent that first year getting involved with the lowest crime family of Chicago, the Marks. The boss was this old man that inherited the business after his 3rd cousin died and he wasn't great, but knew how to cover his tracks. He took me on after he found me on the streets "homeless". I had researched him and found out what his soft spot was. He was homeless until he was 25. He taught me everything I needed to know about the business and how to survive; of course I added my own knowledge and tricks as well.

Then once I got everything I needed, I poisoned him and took over. Most of the men didn't think I could do it, to them I was just a 17 year old punk who couldn't really do anything. So I spent three months showing them. I started by taking out the other families. I started with the low life's and worked my way up until I got the boss of the Denali's on death row. Elizar, the current boss, helped me in my crusade to take out the other families as long as I gave him his land. After we killed off the five families around the Chicago area people started taking me seriously, even Aro.

I moved my people into my parents' house two months after I took control of Chicago and my "family" became the leaders in organized crime. The men I took in and gave rank to knew what they were getting into, so if they ever betrayed me I didn't feel sorry for them. I only have four main rules that are unforgiveable. The first and most important rule is that women and children shall never be harmed. Because of this I have taken in many of women from other families that were abused and so on. Others saw things they weren't supposed to so I took them in and most ended up staying.

Alice was the first I ever took in. I found her in an asylum of Aro's. It was a front he used to get people who were different and then he would torcher them. I took a team of men in to burn the place to the ground letting the innocents go. She was the only female there and when she saw me she said it was about time I came for her. She stated she was going with me and I would give her a place to live. She has always been a mystery to me.

The second rule is that no one deals to kids of any kind. If I find out that any of my drugs or guns got back to kids or involved in the death of kids then someone would pay. I have had to show this many times. Lower level men thinking they can go behind my back. I always give a public execution when they do this.

The third rule is that anyone under Cullen family protection will not be harmed by any member of the Cullen family unless told otherwise by me. Their family is to not be touched and if that family does betray me in anyway then they will pay by death. The women in that family will be dealt with according to what I say along with the children.

Lastly anyone that becomes official in my family must prove themselves to move up. They also have to be 18. I won't make any minors official. I may have taken some under my wing but they had a choice to make when they turned 18.

The tasks given to become official are dealt out by Jasper, Emmett and me. Like the others Jasper and Emmett had to prove themselves. Carlisle sent them to me when I was 18. They had to earn my trust even though they were my cousins and I already saw them as family. They had to prove they would never betray me and always have my back. They did it well and never once did they betray that trust, until now. I can't say I blame them though. I am afraid of what my aunt can do, but they didn't give me the time to throw them under the bus with me. Although I think they are already there. I listened to their argument on the best way to get out of Chicago before Esme got here and killed the three of us and take Bella back. Any other time I would find myself laughing at their conversations, but today was different, today the moment she burst into this office I knew she knew and in that moment I had regretted my choices. Those choices made me loose her forever. It was one thing her thinking I was dead it was a whole other thing for her to realize that I had lied to her. Bella hates liars she once told me that the worst thing anyone could ever do to her is lie.

I sighed as I looked out of my window. When I found out she had come to Chicago I immediately started watching her. I didn't trust anyone else to do it. She was so beautiful more beautiful than the last time I saw her. That night that the boys brought her to me was the first night I had been away from her. Aro wanted another sit down before our annual meeting. The boys were close to that low life Derik so I told them to stop off and give him a message. I was outraged when they brought her back saying she saw them. They were so careless, they were the only ones who knew how much she meant to me and they blow it. I gave them hell until Alice stepped in.

"So what are we going to do boss?" Jasper asked pulling me from my thoughts. I turned to the boys and saw their terrified faces. I gave a small chuckle and sat down behind my desk pulling up my wall on my thoughts and feelings about her. I masked my face and the boys straightened up knowing that I was back to Edward and not Anthony, I never thought he would ever appear again.

"Well you boys are going to go pick our Aunt up from the airport when she gets in." I smirked as they shouted.

"NO we won't come back alive. She will bury our bodies."

"You are just hoping that she will take most of it out on us."

They were right in both accounts. Esme would end up murdering us all for what we did to her but only after she tortured us first. I banged my hand on the desk shutting them up.

"No argueing it is final and it will be done. Right now there are more pressing matters to handle."

"Like how little bell will finish us off if Aunt E doesn't?" Emmett asked trying to throw in one last joke. I wasn't amused. Jasper hit the back of his head and glared at him. "Sorry boss," he responded rubbing his head. I dismissed him with my hand and got down to business.

"So tell me what you got Jas."

It was midnight when I heard her heals hit the hallway floor harshly and quickly. I could hear the boys following her quietly, the only time Emmett is ever like that. I took a deep breath as she stopped outside my office door and turned to face her as she threw open my door so hard it put a dent in the wall.

"Aunt Esme." I said looking into her furious eyes when all I wanted to do was run to her and ask how to get my Bella back. I pushed Anthony down as she got to me and I felt the sting on my cheek.


I know its not that long I plan to make the next chap longer. I haven't decided if it will be in Edwards pov or esme's any preferences ?
