OK, everyone ready for some more Jasper? DEEP BREATHS…I hope you enjoy this chapter, I have messed around with it a few times and still not sure if it is "just right". LOL

All Twilight characters belong to S. M. as always I am just enjoying her toys. See ya'll at the bottom!

JPOV

I slam my laptop shut and turn out my office light and walk with her to her car and take Alice to dinner. She can just drop me back here when we get done.

We get to the restaurant and she informs me that her friend Tanya Masen is joining us for dinner. FUCK ME!

Tanya walks up to the table and Alice kisses her cheeks after she sits down.

"Hey Tan, how are things?" Alice asks.

"Horrible! Edward has left me!"

"WHAT? No way!"

Alice acts like she cares, but all she really cares about is the gossip value. However that tidbit of information peaks my interest in a wicked way. I hope they don't notice my near whiplash when I jerk my head up.

"Yes, he hired his uncle's assistant and moved her out here from Arizona and moved her into his condo building. He has wanted her ever since they met a couple of years ago. She is nothing but a fucking whore!"

"NO!" Alice gasps and puts her hand up to her throat.

"Yes, I went by his condo tonight before I came here and he wasn't home. I was turning to leave and that's when I heard them fucking in her apartment next door."

"How do you know it was them?" I couldn't help but ask, feeling the fury building up…SHE'S MINE!

"I could hear the tramp screaming his name and begging him to fuck her harder," Tanya says with tears in her eyes, "And my Eddie was practically growling her name."

"How could he?" Alice whisper yells.

"The slut likes to play a victim and have all these men eating out of her hands, and body parts further down south, the fucking tramp! When we went to visit Edward's family a couple of years ago that whore was living with Aro! Living with him under the same roof with his wife! 'Supposedly'," Tanya uses her fingers as quotations, "she made up some sob story about being raped, tortured and ending up losing a baby and they were just being nice because she didn't have any family, only no one but Aro and his wife were supposed to know. Bullshit. Of course Aro, Edward, Carlisle, Emmett, Caius and Marcus bent over backwards taking care of her, anything she wanted! All the women just turned the other way, not realizing what was happening right under their own noses!"

"What did you say? Raped? Tortured? What? And if no one was supposed to know just how the hell did you find out?" I sputter out, all the air leaving my lungs in a painful rush.

No, not my Bella, not my beautiful Sunshine! Oh fuck, and I have been so rude to her, I have got to make it up to her somehow. Oh please, no, not my precious baby.

"I have my ways," Tanya smirks, "But yeah, it was something about her husband screwing around with a married woman and the wronged husband supposedly kidnapped her for like weeks and tortured her, raped her and she ended up losing a baby and all her lady parts as a result. If it was so bad, why the hell wasn't she with her husband and him taking care of her? I mean it was Christmas! I personally think that she was Aro's whore and he was just trying to sneak a little something-something under his wife's nose. I mean hell, her bedroom was right next door to theirs, come on!

"But anyway, I 'accidently' overheard Aro and his wife talking one night when they thought everyone was asleep. Granted they were in their bedroom and I might have been standing with my ear pressed to the door when I heard the slut's name come up. But apparently, they were worried that having so many people around would be upsetting to her with it being her first holiday after her 'trauma'. Whatever!

"So the story is that the tramp's husband was a drunk and a junkie and apparently abused her since they started dating in high school but I think it's all a load of shit. She didn't look like she had been beaten by anyone, let alone tortured.

"You know I asked Edward right after we met her if he was attracted to her and the sorry son of a bitch admitted it! Right to my face, now he is screwing her."

"Oh Tanya, is there anything we can do?" Alice lays her hand on top of Tanya's and gives it a squeeze.

"No. I am just so shocked. I don't think it has really set in yet," she whispers, dabbing at her eyes.

And here comes the fake tears.

"Well, if you need someone to talk to, you can always call Jazzy. And Jazzy I don't want you using this slut to do your work. I don't want her trying to steal you away from me."

"Um, no I am not talking to Tanya and I am not giving up my attorney!"

Fuck, I ain't about to open that can of worms! And I refuse to listen to anyone bad mouth my Bella. Tortured? Raped? Miscarriage? Abusive husband? Why in the fuck did she never mention this shit to me?

"Yes, she can and yes you will," Alice demands her voice an almost whispered growl.

"No, it would be a conflict of interest, Alice. Edward and Be…Ms. Swan are my attorneys."

There were two shocked gasps.

"Jasper, are you really going to defend them?" Tanya asks.

"Yes."

"JASPER WHITLOCK! I am so disappointed in you! Tanya is our friend." Alice's eyes are flashing in anger at me.

"I really don't care what you feel about this Alice. Tanya is your friend. Edward is mine."

OK maybe friend is a little strong of a term for him hell, more like competition for Bella now. FUCK ME!

"We will talk about his when we get home," Alice seethes.

"No, when we are done with dinner you are dropping me back at the office, I have work I have to finish. I don't care what you do after that."

"No, we are supposed to talk about wedding plans," she grits out between her teeth.

"You plan it, I show up. Wasn't that the agreement we had Alice?"

Yes, I am being an asshole but after what I just found out I can't help it.

"Fine! Just get those disgusting friends of your to do the damn prenup and after we are married we can transfer all of our business to my attorney."

"No, Mary Alice, I am staying with Denali and Masen. Period. Actually, since this is turning into a breakup fest, how about I just catch a cab back to the office."

"Jazzy, no," Alice turns on her fake tears now and grabs my hand.

"Just have them charge the meal to me. You are very good at using my credit cards after all, Alice. I will see you later," I lean and give Alice a kiss on the forehead and then turn and nod my head at Tanya, "Tanya, good luck with your marriage."

I walk away but not before I hear…

"So tell me all about this whore who is wrecking your marriage," Alice leans in and asks, "I have to know if I need to watch out for my Jazzy, I can't have a repeat of three years ago."

And so it starts. So much for keeping Bella's arrival in DC a secret.

I turn and walk out of the restaurant and walk for a few blocks down to a park end up punching a few trees.

"FUCK!"

I find a park bench to sit at for a little while before I end up breaking my hand, or end up having the cops called on me. I try to wrap my head around what I just found out about my sweet precious Sunshine.

I thought she had been open about damn near everything. She never told me that the assface she was married to ever abused her, neglected sure, but abused? NO! She never told me about being abducted! I want to hunt down the mother fucker who did that shit to her and wipe him off the face of the earth. Just thinking about what she went through makes me physically sick at my stomach.

I don't know how long I sit here on this park bench but eventually I get up and start walking home. I can't concentrate on any work tonight and I only live a few miles from here and maybe a walk would help clear my mind. I feel so horrible at how much of a douche I have been to Bella lately. I still don't know what I am going to do about Alice and this damn marriage but after what I found out tonight I have to make an effort not to be such a dick to her. I can manage that. Just be a friend to her, we used to talk about a lot of personal things before. I can keep her in the friend zone and Alice in the fiancée zone and try not to beat the hell out of Edward for stealing my girl.

FUCK! This isn't going to work.

By now I have made it back to my townhouse and I start stripping down as soon as the door is closed and head straight for the shower. I wash the blood off my hands, maybe punching those trees wasn't the smartest, but it was that or go to find Edward, asshole fucking my girl…needs his ass kicked. That idea makes me smile.

I let my imagination run away with me and it turns into thinking about what it would be like just to tell Alice to fuck off and spend all my energy pursuing Bella. I want to feel her in my arms, even if it is just once…shit now I have a rather large 'problem'.

I damn near gave myself carpal tunnel fantasizing about her before, looks like it's going to happen again, despite the pain in my hand…Bella is worth it. I close my eyes and picture her in the shower with me and soon I am screaming her name as I shoot a load down the drain.

That's it. I have to go see her in the morning. I have to talk to her.

I wrap a towel around my waist and walk into the kitchen to get some ice to put on my left hand it seems to have taken the worst punishment earlier. Shit that hurts like a bitch.

I dig into the cabinet and pull out some whiskey. I don't even bother with a fucking glass I shoot it straight from the bottle. That burn feels good. A few more of these and I won't give a shit.

I pick up my pack of cigarettes and lighter off the table and take the bottle with me out onto my balcony. I have the penthouse so I don't have to worry about anyone seeing me in only a towel. I stretch out on one of the chairs and light up.

I don't know how long I sit outside drinking but by the time I realize I am getting a little chilly the bottle is almost empty and I am out of cigarettes. I stumble my drunk ass back into the house and collapse on the couch.

"Bella…"

Thank you for all the follows, favorites, reviews & PMs! I LOVE them all, please keep them coming! LOL I hope I didn't let you down with this chapter and Sunday it's back to Bella's POV and reactions to Jasper's emails…and maybe a little more drama, nothing too angst-y though. That crap messes with my head LMAO!

NatalieLynn – His relationship with Alice is 'comfortable'. It's what he is used to and what is expected of him. Change is hard and scary and before he makes such a life altering decision he has to make sure of it. He is seriously weighing his options. And Jasper does like Bella's more submissive nature because it makes him feel more like an alpha male which he lacks in his relationship with Alice, where it's easier to just roll over and accept and go along with whatever she wants.

The-Majors-Keeper – Hi Sam! I got your PM, sorry I didn't respond. Yes, a law office gets incredibly crazy. They like to wait until the last minute for everything! Thank you! Your review makes me so happy :) I love that you are falling in love with my story, I am so glad someone loves it as much as I do. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! LOL

Mickeyluver33 – You are exactly right, Alice won't let go of Jasper without a fight…but can you really blame her? I would fight like hell for him too! HAHA I am glad you consider this something you would write, means you like it! Thanks Chica!

Ellaryne – He does need to break up with Alice…later. Where would the fun be without a little drama first?

Lmb1 – He knows it's easier to just give into Alice, no matter how much he hates doing it. I actually have someone in my family like that and most people just give her what she wants to shut her up and stop the drama train LOL

VioletDream13 – Ohhh, that sounds like fun! Thank you! I like Charlotte too, I am trying to come up with more ways to include her in the story. Yeah, Bella did have a harsh past but now she is on to happier things.

kathymoonstone – Well…he found out! LOL

sarahplumb – HAHA! I hate to say that she will end up making you even madder before it's all over. I will have to come up with some horrible fate for her in the end LOL

Till Sunday
