Chapter 28: Rule Breaking & Losing It
The Next Day…
CJ's POV
I'm in my office at my hotel trying to get over my hang over. Mum and Dad haven't left their room all day. Now that is saying something.
"Hey brother how's the hang over?"
I look at to see my brother grinning at me.
"What do you what AJ?" I ask him groaning
"What would have caused you to drink so much?" AJ asks sitting in the chair opposite my desk
"You know what. Some of us don't have mates", I say to him, "Now why are you here? Shouldn't you be with Leah? And how on earth did you get here?"
"Lily transported me here. I'm here to give Mum this", AJ says hanging me a bottle
"Your giving mum a bottle of 70 year old snow leopard wine", I ask him, "Isn't this worth something like 80,000 dollars?"
"Well it is more like 100,000. I'm giving it to Mum and Dad as a wedding present. Nessie is right it is time we started acting like their children as a family", AJ says
"That is quite a gift", I tell him
"Well only the best for our parents. Can you do me a favor and have one of your men give it to them? Say it was a gift from a client or friend or something", AJ says
"Ok. That I can do", I reply
"Ok. I better get going", AJ says getting up out of his chair
"Say hello to Leah for me", I say to him smiling
"Will do brother", AJ replies smiling
He quickly leaves to room. I sigh and grab the bottle of wine and make my way out to the front desks.
"Greg", I call to my first man
"Yes sir", Greg says coming over to me quickly
"I need a trust worthy man to bring this bottle up to Lady Whitlock's room", I say
"Of course sir", Greg says
"I also need you to clear Lady Whitlock's bill", I say
"Or course sir. I'll get right on that", Greg says
I hand him the bottle and walk away. Giving Mum my own small gift. Nessie was right it is time for us to be a family. We have been hiding away from each other for far too long. It was now time for us to start working together again. Because I have a feeling something bad is coming our way. And it would take all of us to face to threat I feel coming…
Bella's POV
Last night was the best night to my existence. I have waited nearly 100 hundred years to be with Edward. Now I'm finally with him. Finally I feel whole. I know that nothing will come between us. Not my family or his. Nothing. I'm snuggling in Edward's arms when there is a knock at the door. I groan so does Edward.
"I have to get up and see who is at the door", I tell him
His arms wrap around my waist tightly before he lets me go.
"Hurry back to me", he murmurs
"Always", I say kissing him
I get up out of bed and put my dressing gown on. I quickly make my way to the door.
"Yes?" I say answering it
"This is for you my lady", the vampire says handing me a bottle of wine
"Who?" I ask looking at the label this is a very expensive bottle of wine
"Don't know ma'am. It was left at the front desk for you. Have a nice day", the vampire says leaving
I quickly shut the door and look at the bottle in my hand in confusion.
"Who was it love?" Edward asks coming up and wrapping his arms around my waist
"Someone left a bottle of wine for us", I tell him still confused
"What's so confusing about that?" he asks
"This is a 100,000 dollar bottle of wine. And someone just left it for us at the front desk", I tell him
"That is very nice of them", Edward says nuzzling my neck
"Care to try it?" I ask him smiling
"You bet my love", Edward murmurs
I giggle and we start were we left off…
Tanya's POV
She thinks she is so good. And what is she hiding anyway? Well I'm sure going to find out. I'm going to Bella's room to find the answers…
Edward's POV
Bella and I make our way into the lobby. We are going to start our journey home today. Bella or should I say my wife makes her way to the counter to check out.
"We are here to check out and pay our bill", my wife says
The vampire types something into a computer.
"You don't have to worry about any of that ma'am. It looks like your bill has already been paid", the vampire says
My wife looks at him in surprise.
"Does it say who paid it?" she asks
"No ma'am. You're free to go. Have a nice day", the vampire says
Bella comes back over to me and I wrap my arms around her waist.
"That was weird", she says as I lead her towards the door.
I look behind me for a second to see a man at the bar. He meets my gaze and raises his drink to me. Before I could respond Bella pulls me towards her car. I quickly get into the drivers seat and we quickly drive away.
"I love you Bella", I say planting a kiss on her temple
"I love you too Edward. With all my heart", Bella replies
11 hours later…
We make the journey home in half the time with my driving.
"I wonder where everyone is?" Bella wonders getting out of the car
"I don't know. Let's get our bags up to our room before they get back", I say
"Good idea. But I can't help but wonder where they are", Bella says following me into the house
We make it up to Bella's room when Bella freezes and sniffs the air.
"Bella. Love what is it? What's wrong?" I ask her
I look around the room and I know that someone has been in it. Her pills that I left on the nightstand are gone. I sniff the air and freeze. I know that scent. Bella's growl fills the air. Oh hell. This is not going to be good.
Peter's POV
Bella has been gone two days and everyone has decided to go hunting. Jalice, Jared, Michael, and Samuel and his mate Tasha have gone farer to hunt then us. That is when Tanya comforts everyone.
"Hey look what I found in Bella's room. Looks like she is taking drugs", Tanya says holding up a couple of boxes
Please tell me she didn't go in there. Please, Please, Please if she did she is dead. But those pills are a surprise.
Carlisle takes the pills from her hands, "They don't have a label"
"What has Bella got to hide? By the look of surprise on everyone's faces I take it that no one knew", Tanya says
We all looked at each other. We all didn't know about the pills. Before we could reply a loud growl fills the air. All of us freeze. I know that growl. Oh boy this is not going to be good. Suddenly Bella is here in the clearing Edward right behind her. Bella's eyes are pitch black. Oh hell.
"How dare you enter my room", Bella snarls couching down ready to pounce
I see Edward put a hand on her shoulder.
"Bella calm down", he whisperers
"What are these then?" Tanya asks smirking snatching the pills of Carlisle
"They are none of your business", Bella snarls
"Oh yeh. What have you got to hide? You probably have filthy little secrets. You probably just don't want to tell anyone how many people you have slept with. I'm sure I can get a friend of mine to do her", Tanya says smirking
My jaw drops so do those of my family. Now that has crossed a line. Now the biggest surprise is that Edward leapt at her snarling eyes now black. Tanya shrieks as Edward bites down on her shoulder. Bella snaps out of her angry and pulls Edward off of Tanya.
"Shh Edward I'm fine. Don't worry no one is going to hurt me", Bella murmurs to Edward
Tanya is now dry sobbing, "Look what he has done to me"
"Shut up", Bella snarls at her
Suddenly calm spreads across the clearing in two different directions. I look at Jasper and he just shakes his head.
"Tanya that really was a stupid idea", Jalice says entering the clearing with her brothers
"Did you give as the load of calm?" Charlotte asks
"Not just me", Jalice says looking at her mother
"Samuel, Michael take Tanya and put her in lock up. With some of that blood we keep for special occasions", Bella replies smirking at Tanya
Both boys grin.
"You got it mum", they say grabbing Tanya and leading her towards the house
When they are gone we turn are attention back to Bella and Edward. Bella is trying to calm Edward down.
"Shh she didn't get anyway near me. Calm down", Bella says
Edward closers his eyes are takes a deep breath then wraps his arms around Bella's waist pulling her to his chest.
"Ok. I will calm down for you", Edward says
"Good. Because it looks like we have some explaining to do", Bella says smiling slightly
Edward laughs, "I guess we do. Come on everyone lets get back home"
We all follow them confused. What the hell just happened?
Allie's POV
Why couldn't that little whore stay out of it? Now she has put things into motion. This is going to be bad. Very bad and it is only just beginning…
