BPOV:
I was sick at my stomach. How could he just set there calm, cool, and so fucking collected. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. This whole dinner was planned. Reminding me to take my phone, then asking me to see my phone, and then turning it on.
Tears were falling like little waterfalls. "Let go of my hand Edward." I felt nothing for him at that moment.
He leaned over the table pulling me towards him by my hand. "Got something for you."
"Like I could ever want anything from you now." My voice was as empty as my stare.
He placed a small envelope in front of me. He finally let go of my hand and slid his chair next to mine.
"Let's see what we have here. Shall we?" He picked up the envelope and pulled out some pictures. "Oh this is a good one, and this one, and this one happens to be my favorite." He tossed the pictures down.
I looked at them. One was of me pulling up to Jacob's apartment, another one of him answering the door, then one of him coming out to grab my bag while I was asleep. The one Edward said was his favorite was the picture of the next morning Jacob and I standing in his doorway kissing. I felt a smile come across my face and picked that one up.
"I see you like that one too." He jerked it out of my hand.
"You had me followed?"
"Have to protect what is mine." He took a drink of his wine. He sat back casually like it was any other day.
"Do you honestly think I would marry you after what you have done?"
"Let's go. I need to get you home." He stood up and put the photos back into his pocket.
I was speechless all the way back to my grandmothers. The tears silently fell as I was looking out the window. He tried to place his hand on my thigh. I just glared at him.
"You know none of this had to happen if you would have just listened to what I had to say. But you brought this on yourself." He was turning into the drive.
"If I would have just listened to you? Since when did you become my father?" I opened the car door before he could put the car into park. He tried to grab my arm.
"Since you started making stupid decisions that could ruin everything." He yelled at me.
"Excuse me for ruining your perfect world." I slammed his car door.
"Not mine." I turned around to face him.
"Why did you burn down James' place?"
His cocky smile that used to dazzle me now only made me want to throw up. "I was here all day with your father and I was at home with my parents last night."
"That was not an answer." I yelled back.
"Shhh someone might hear you. Don't want to wake anybody up do you?"
"I don't care who hears me. What have you done with Jacob?" I threw my purse at him.
I heard the door open behind me. I turned to see that it was Emmett, Alice, and Rosalie. I ignored them and turned back to Edward. He just looked at me.
"What have you done with Jacob? That should be the question for you." He was throwing my words back at me.
I knew that we had company but I didn't care. "More than you know. How could you do this to me?"
He closed the gap between us and I could see the fury in his eyes. "To You!? Why does everything have to revolve around you! What about to me or your family? Did you not think about what this could do to them? Did you even think about Jacob? I told you your actions caused a chain reaction. But did you listen? NO you continued to whore around with someone not worth wiping my feet on!"
"Would you have rather it been someone from the country club?" I arched an eyebrow at him.
He grabbed my arms and squeezed to the point I thought they might pop off. Forcing me back across the car he was inches from my face. "If it wasn't so close to our wedding I would show you what it's like to cross me."
"So why marry me?"
"Did it ever occur to you that you are not the reason I'm marrying you? You are the only way to get to what I want."
Wow for the second time tonight I was hit with a ton of bricks. "You sick fuck! This is all over my share of the company?"
All he could do was smile. He released his grip on me and I swung at him with an open hand. He raised his head back at me and continued to smile.
"Do you honestly think I am going to marry you now?" I was screaming in hopes that someone besides the three that are just standing there watching will hear what is going on out here.
"But you will Bella." Once again he was calm.
"Like hell I will! Take your ring back!" I pulled the ring off my finger and threw it at him.
"See I have this thing called an insurance policy. You will marry me for one it's the right thing to do and deep down you don't want to disappoint your parents. And two if you want Gloria, Maria, and Billy to know where to find Jacob so he can have a decent burial, you will marry me. They will be told where to find him once we are away on our honeymoon. "
"How do I know you are not just lying?!"
"I figured you might need proof." He pulled out a baggy from his pocket and tossed it to me. I didn't have to have light to see it to know what it was. A lock of Jacob's hair.
I screamed and lunged at him with all I had. I punched him "YOU SICK BASTURD! I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL!!! JACOB WAS MORE OF A MAN THEN YOU WILL EVER HOPE TO BE!!! I WILL NOT MARRY YOU!!!" I fell to the ground and threw up my dinner. He just said Jacob was dead.
I felt arms going around me and lost it again. "GET AWAY FROM ME!! YOU ARE ON HIS SIDE REMEMBER!!!" The arms picked me up around my waist they were Emmetts.
Edward was walking back to his car. "Emmett get a grip on your sister. Explain to her that if we marry I will honor my side and make sure they know where he is. But if she chooses not to, then may the wild animals feast upon his rotting flesh!" And he drove off.
Emmett carried me kicking and screaming into the house. I was telling him I hated them all! Rosalie and Alice were in tears following us into the house. I glared at those two.
"Don't you dare shed a tear for me or for someone you care nothing about! Get the fuck away from me! I don't want to see your faces!" I was screaming all the way upstairs in Emmett's big arms. They felt like vises. As if he was afraid if he loosened his grip I would do some damage. He was right.
He took me into the bathroom and walked into the shower. Once he turned the water on and got it hot he moved both of us in there. Clothes and all. He held me under the water trying to calm me down and warm me up. I wasn't shaking because I was cold, I was shaking because I just lost everything I cared about.
Once he figured I wasn't going anywhere he put me down and left me alone in the shower. He toweled off the best he could even though he still had on wet clothes and went to his guest room to change. I sank to the floor and let my tears mix with the water.
The water ran cold I got up and toweled off. Emmett had came back in at some point and brought my clothes and a big thick bathrobe.
Once I was changed, I went into my room and my covers were pulled back and the light was on dim. I curled up on the bed and cried myself to sleep.
The next morning I woke up completely spent. Tears started to fall again like they had little minds of their own. It was real.
I heard a small knock on my door. I didn't respond because right now I didn't want to see anybody. The door opened it was Emmett. He was carrying in a tray of food.
I turned away from him but I felt the bed shift and knew he had sat down.
"Did you know?" I asked very lightly.
"I knew he wanted to hurt you after he got those pictures but knowing I would not let that happen he went after the next best thing." He was quiet and you could hear the hurt in his voice.
"That didn't answer my question. Did you know?" He knew what I was talking about.
"I knew he wanted him to feel pain but I didn't know he had taken it to this extreme. I'm so sorry Bells."
I turned to see him crying. "What do you have to be sorry about? He's your best friend."
"And you're my sister." He got up and walked out of my room.
I stayed in my room for most of the day. I don't know what Emmett told them but everyone stayed away from my door.
I had a lot to think about. And a big decision to make. I did ponder the possibility of turning Edward into the police. But like he stated he had iron clad proof of where he was during all of this.
Did I care enough about Jacob to make sure he is found and taken care of? To the point of marrying Edward?
My thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. I stayed quiet hoping they would go away.
The knock was a little louder.
Fine. "Who is it?"
"Edward"
