Please review and let me know what you think, even if it is bad I guess I need to know that too. So, without further ado, here is the next chapter. ENJOY!

EDWARD'S POV

I had never felt so much anger and hatred for another person in my entire life. That bastard humiliated her and then taped it and forced her to watch it for his own sick amusement. After Bella fell into a deep sleep in my arms, I called Emmett and Rose. Rose came to stay with Bella. I told her that Emmett and I needed to go out for a little while. Rose did not question this and I was eternally grateful.

As soon as we were in the car, Emmett broke the silence.

"What is going on, Edward?" Emmett asks.

I grip the steering wheel more tightly in my hands and press my foot on the accelerator. I start speaking, and I don't even care that I am not making sense. "I can't fall apart there with her….I can't upset the progress we are making, but I want to kill him Em. I want to kill him!" I scream as I push the gas pedal to the floor.

Emmett looks at me in shock, but says nothing.

I continue my rant. "That bastard taped her being tortured by him! He taped it and threatened to leak it to the internet if she ever left him!"

Emmett looked at me in shock and rage transformed his features. "I know where he lives. I got the information from a buddy of mine at the police station."

I nod. "Where?" I speak the word desperately.

Emmett rattles off the address and then we are off. I cannot think about anything else right now except seeing Riley Biers and ripping his head off.

Riley's apartment building in small and dingy. I wonder whose apartment it actually is. I bang on the door until Riley opens it with the phone in his hand. He actually has the nerve to smile at me.

"You will have to excuse me for a moment, Cullen." Riley moves to slam the door in my face, but Emmett appears from around the corner and pushes the door open as we push our way into his house.

I grab Riley by the neck and push him against the wall. "Where are they? Where are the tapes?" I scream at him.

Riley looks at me in shock. "She told you?" He asks in bewilderment.

It takes all the strength in my body not to kill him right here and right now, but I promised Bella that I wouldn't kill him, so I won't.

"Of course she told me. I know EVERYTHING you sick son of a –" I stop midsentence when Emmett appears by my side.

Emmett speaks in a deadly calm voice. "I am only going to ask you this once. Tell us where the tapes are or I am going to break your fingers one by one." He says menacingly.

Riley looks terrified of Emmett looming in front of him. "I'll call the police." He tries weakly.

I laugh at him. "Go ahead, then we can tell them about the tapes and then you will really be screwed." I say with malice. "Bella doesn't want to turn those tapes in. She doesn't want anyone else to see those tapes, so you have a choice. You can turn those tapes over to us, or you can enjoy a pain filled night with over a dozen broken bones until you give us the tapes. The choice is yours."

Riley seems to contemplate this. "These tapes were made for instructional purposes. Bella needs to watch them again when I get her back to ensure she doesn't repeat past mistakes." He says it so matter of factly that I don't think…I just react. I punch him hard in the face and then I kick him as hard as I can in the groin. Emmett releases him and he falls to the ground sobbing in agony.

I pull him up to face me by the hair. "Where are the tapes?" I scream at him.

Riley cowers back from my glare. "They are in the file cabinet in my bedroom. I nod to Emmett who takes ahold of Riley and I walk into his bedroom. I am not prepared for the sight in front of me. There are pictures of Bella everywhere. There are pictures before she was taken in high school and in college. There are pictures that have obviously been edited and Riley has taken my out and added himself into the pictures. Where did he even get some of these? I wonder. Then I see a picture on his bedside table that makes my heart boil. It is a picture of Bella looking pale, gaunt, and terrified while Riley basically lies on top of her, while she is nearly naked. He must have held an arm out to snap the picture or something. I pick up the picture frame and tuck it into the canvas bag I brought into the house with me. I walk over to the file cabinet and pull open the drawer. I am shocked by the sheer number of tapes that I see. They are labeled. "Day One with Bella. Day two with Bella." There is a tape for every day that he tortured her. He did this to her every day. Bella had not said it was every day, but I hadn't ask either. My heart breaks again as I shove all the tapes into my bag. I check the other file cabinet drawers, but find no other tapes. I want to rip all the pictures off the walls, but know that I need to get going. I need to get back to Bella. I need to get out of here before I end Riley Biers.

I walk back into the living room. I motion for Emmett that it is time to go. Emmett looks Riley over one more time. "You will burn in hell for what you did to my little sister." He says in a deep, threatening voice.

Emmett pushes him back and walks to the door. I get very close to Riley. "You will pay for what you did to her. I will make sure of that."

Riley looks at me and a sick smile creeps onto his face. "We shall see about that, Cullen." He whispers.

I push him against the wall and it knocks the wind out of him. He sinks to his knees and tries to catch a deep breath.

I walk out of the apartment and close the door behind me.

BELLA'S POV

I wake up to find Rose sitting beside me in a chair. She is sound asleep. I feel immensely guilty. No one is sleeping anymore and it is all because of me. I try to go back to sleep for a while, but I can't. The vibrating of my cell phone makes me sit up in bed. It is an unknown number, but I answer it anyway quietly.

"Hello." I whisper, careful not to wake Rose.

"Hello, my love. It's been too long." The voice says softly.

"Riley." I whisper as tears slip down my cheeks silently.

"Who else my dear? Now, what do you say we stop this nonsense and you come back to me?" He says carefully.

I whisper, but my voice is full of anger. "Never."

He sighs. "I bet you will change your mind about that, love. Do you really want Cullen's death on your conscious?"

My heart drops and I gasp. He chuckles on the other end of the line. "He came here and threatened me. He took most of the tapes…I, of course, kept the one that was the most special to us both, do you remember that one, love?"

I felt my soul shatter into a thousand pieces. Edward had gone there to try and protect me and now his life was in danger, again, because of me. "What do you want?" I whisper.

His response is immediate. "What I have always wanted, you."

I can't help my response. "You can't have me."

He laughs. "Then I guess Cullen is history."

He's bluffing I tell myself over and over again. He seems to interpret my thoughts because he cuts in again.

"He just left the apartment. I am following him in my car. He appears to be headed to Emmett's apartment…probably to destroy the tapes for you." I hear the click of his gun and I know he is deadly serious now.

"Please, don't." I whisper.

"I will leave Cullen alone, if you leave the hospital right now. Meet me in the parking garage in ten minutes. We will be reunited soon, my love."

I take a deep breath. "You have my word." I whisper.

"See you soon." He says softly before hanging up.

I run over to Rose and shake her awake. "Rose, I need your help."

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. What will happen between Bella and Riley? What will Rose do? I would love to hear your thoughts.
