Author Note: Sorry this chapter is posted so late. Due to multiple reasons ( a few being a crazy thunderstorm and unexpected trips) I was unable to post Tuesday's chapter. Life this week has gotten crazy so there will only be 4 chapters this week. I'm sorry but I want to make sure the quality of the chapters doesn't decrease.

And a few people pointed out that Rosalie was spelled Rosaline. I honestly don't know how that happened. When I proofed the chapter, I fixed it to Rosalie but apparently Microsoft Word decided to be a bitch and change it back again.

Chapter 14

EPOV

I held Bella all night as she cried. I hurt to see her hurt. When she finally went to sleep, her head on my chest and arm wrapped around me, I laid there holding her. She finally looked at ease and peaceful. I just laid there stroking her cheek or running my fingers through her hair. It felt right, having her in my arms. She had an effect on me like no other. She kept me calm which was good considering how my much I wanted to tear Demetri to shreds. He put Bella through hell and it still affects her. Seeing her breakdown after seeing his picture made me want to go out right then and there and bring him within an inch of his life. I was hesitant to tell Bell that we thought the person was Demetri. I was afraid we could be wrong, but she clearly remembered him.

After the interrogation with that Volturi scum, I had assigned Jasper to get any information that could confirm it was Demetri. We kept coming up empty. Demetri had covered his tracks well. The only thing we had was that Demetri was there that night, but so was other Volturi sons. They only reason we even knew about them being there was because another mafia family, The Nomads, had raided the club and shot it up. The mafia families had a sit down to discuss it. Since all of the Nomad family who had been apart of the raid had been killed not much could be done. James and Laurent apparently accused the Volturi of infringing on their territory. Things went over the top when Victoria, James's wife accused Marcus, one of the Volturi fathers of trying to feel her up and sleep with her. James went on a rampage and gathered his men with Laurent and raided the club where the Volturi sons would be. Marcus had no children, but his nephews which were the Volturi legacy would suffice. James was rash and paid the price with his life. Victoria was the only remaining Nomad family member left and she disappeared after the raid. The Nomad family was small and didn't have much pull in the mafia world. James had been foolish in his actions and was a fucking idiot thinking he could bring down the Volturi by storming their club.

I could sympathize with his anger though. I want to rip Demetri apart and slowly kill him. I wanted him to beg for his life and slowly drain the life out of that son of a bitch. But I will be calculating when it comes taking Demetri. I have to tread water lightly, because we don't want an all out Mafia war to ensue.

I finally started to feel sleep try to overtake me. I welcomed it and drifted to sleep with Bella in my arms.

I woke up to Bella stirring in my arms, and that's when I heard Liam threw the baby monitor. He wasn't quite crying, it was more of a whine. I carefully unlocked Bella's arms from around me and got up to go to Liam's room. He smiled when he saw me which made me smile. He was taking a liking to me and made this transition to fatherhood easier. I picked him up out if his crib and headed back to me and Bella's bedroom. I sat him on the bed and he immediately crawled over to Bella while saying, "Mama." It woke Bella up and see smiled. God I fucking love that smile.

"Hey little man" she said.

"I figured this was a good way of waking you up." I said with a smile.

"Sorry you had to get him. I thought I heard him whining but was I was so groggy I couldn't tell if I was dreaming or what." She said with a yawn.

"Don't apologize Bella. Liam is my son now and I want to fulfill parental duties like getting up when he cries. But he probably needs a diaper and I don't know how to change a diaper."

Bella laughed. Wait is she laughing at me? "It's okay Edward. I don't expect you to change diapers right away. And I appreciate you going and getting him and bringing him in here." She said with a smile. I was glad she was feeling better this morning.

We had our normal routine of breakfast and I headed out for the day. It felt nice getting to have breakfast with them almost everyday. I knew at some point that wouldn't always be the case. I would have to slip out during the night at times and not have a set schedule like I was maintaining now, I was trying now though. The wedding was a week and half away and the introduction to the families two and half weeks away. Alice and Esme had been helping Bella with it all. I didn't know the first fucking thing about planning a wedding. Thank god for my mother and sister-in-law. Speaking of sister-in-laws, Bella was meeting Rosalie today. I was praying Rosalie wouldn't be her bitchy self, but we probably had a better chance of hell freezing over. I was almost to the office when Emmett called.

"Yeah." I answered.

"Well good morning to you too sunshine." Emmett said sarcastically.

"I'm not in the mood." Especially after thinking about his bitch of a whife.

"A package at the warehouse needs your signature." Got some bastard tied to a chair.

"What color is it?" The Volturi scum was at our usual one.

"Blue." We multiple warehouses for this exact reason. Sometimes you have multiple people you have to deal with.

Jasper was waiting out front when I arrived to the warehouse.

"What do we got?" I asked.

"Something a little unconventional." He said,

"What do you mean unconventional?"

"I know women are usually off limits, but.."

"Are you telling me you got a fucking woman tied up in there? Have you touched her yet?" I said angrily. They better have a good fucking reason why they have a woman in there.

"She was at the club asking to many questions. She claimed to know Bella and when we ran a check we found out who she was."

"Jessica." He said coldly.

He didn't have to give me a last name. I knew exactly who he was talking about. Jessica was one the shanks who pretended to be Bella's friend and set her up to be raped. I was usually against killing a woman, but I may make an exception.

"Good work, Jasper." I said firmly.

We then went inside and tied to a chair was fucking Jessica. I had tried finding out who the two shanks were that set up Bella. We had narrowed down it down to several possibilities and this girl was one of them. Since she was asking questions about Bella and claimed to know her it was definitely this shank. She had this bitch look about her.

"Oh are we going to have a foursome?" She said in what I think was her attempt to be a seductive tone,

"Like I would touch you." I mocked.

"Then why do you the three of you have you me here all alone." She purred.

"Are trying to seduce your way out of this or you really that stupid?" I scoffed.

"You can't hurt me." She said seriously and like she thought it was true,

"And why do think that?" I said coldly with calculated eyes.

"The code." She replied.

I laughed dryly, "Bitch you don't know the first thing about the code."

"I'm a woman so you can't hurt me." She said her voice shaky.

"But you are not a protected women." You had to a wife or relative to be protected in the code. Some families like mine usually didn't hurt women, but exceptions did happen.

She looked scared. I bent down and whispered in her ear. "So I can do whatever I want to you and believe me you won't like it."

And the bitch started to cry,

"And I don't know what lies they told you to do their bidding and believe you would be protected if you get caught but maybe if you thought you didn't have a free pass you would have been more careful and not got caught." I said menacingly

And the tears kept coming. Would she ever stop blubbering?

Jasper then spoke up. "They best thing you can do for yourself is tell us everything you know, If you comply I may be able to talk my friend here out of his plans" Jasper the cool and collected one, but t get information

"O-Okay" she said between sobs. Bingo!

"Go on." Jasper prompted,

"My friend Lauren had meet this guy named Alec. She was really into him and stuff. She wanted for me to meet some of his friends and thought maybe I would hook up with one of them. One named Felix seemed to pretty into me. Lauren was head over heals for Alec. She even slept with Alec the first time they hung out. I at least waited for the two week mark." Yeah like that doesn't make you a slut

"Felix was really interested in me and I welcomed it. He was rich, powerful, and eventually told me about the whole mafia thing. He kept bugging me about finding someone for his friend Demetri. He said they all needed a girl before he would serious with me. He kept making all these promises if I found someone for Demetri. I told him about Bella, but warned him that was a prude. I never saw her date was pretty sure she was a virgin and I told them that. They said they could take care of that. He said they could ensure she complied. They told me I had to lure her away to the bathroom or wait for her to go and they would know what to do,"

"And what exactly did you know they would do?" I asked coldly.

"it was about time she got some! I knew once he started to feel her up she would enjoy it," I fucking wanted to kill this girl.

"No it's called rape. What exactly did Felix promise you?"

"He said he finally would introduce me to his family and progress to the necessary steps before marriage, whatever that means." Yeah like a baby and brain washing, I highly doubt though he was serious about marrying this chick though.

"And none of that never happened?" I said it more like a statement then a question.

"No it didn't happen because Bella got away that night. Felix refuses to progress in our relationship until Demetri gets Bella back." He wasn't hers though and just the thought of him thinking that made me want to kill him even more.

"That's why you asking about Bella." I concluded.

"Yeah there all bent out shape. I'm never going to be secured for a future until Felix helps Demetri. Demetri is practically obsessed with her. He went off on one of his guards after the incident with the club. He blames the guard that Bella got away but I have a feeling its more then that."

"And why is that?" I asked.

"I don't know it's just a feeling. I saw the way the guard was looking at her that night at the club. He was practically eye fucking her. Demetri was always mad at the guard or acted weird around him after what happened at the club. Felix tried to get him talk but he wouldn't budge."

It had to be the guard that raped Bella. Demetri found out and kept it hush. I am surprised he let the guard live though, unless there was more to it….

"What was this guard's name?" I asked.

"Vladimir." She said.

Well shit…
