Chapter Fifty One
Garrett
As we left I could see Esme was busy thinking of something and I wondered just for a second if she was regretting what she'd done to Carlisle but then she turned to me with a smile,
"I love you Garrett, don't ever doubt that. I was just thinking, there is just one person left I'd like to settle a score with"
"Who's that?"
"The bitch who helped Edward attack you."
"Belissama? Well she's free so presumably she'll be on her way out of Italy but she could be going anywhere. Are you sure you want to spend your time hunting the stupid bitch?"
"She hurt you, of course I'm sure."
I could see Esme was determined so once in the air, and after I'd obliged my mate with a little roll in the sack, I contacted Darius.
"Why is it I only hear from you lot when you need to pick my brains?"
"You should be flattered we value them so highly! I want a favour, can you trace Belissama?"
"She's left Volterra?"
"Yeah, she decided Edward minus a few parts wasn't to her taste"
"God she's even more of a bitch than I thought. Sure, give me a while I've got a new toy to play with I'll get back to you."
Well I had a new toy to play with also and a toy who was even now beckoning me from the bed, Esme was insatiable!
Darius
This new piece of equipment would now get its first try out and I was impressed, the speed with which it connected was faster than I had any expectations of and it took seconds to hunt down and relay Belissama's whereabouts. She hadn't flown from Italy but crossed the border into France under the name Belinda Sama, I bet she thought that was clever or cute but it made finding her that much easier and once I had one of the many weather satellites over France working for me, and malfunctioning for its owners, I was soon able to spot her. She had boarded a train for London via Paris and I checked at each of the stops but she never got off, so our girl was going to England. I passed the information to Garrett and offered to travel there myself but I could hear that Esme wanted her for herself so I arranged another private jet for the flight to London. If our quarry moved on I would alert them and change the flight plan accordingly but the next day Belinda Sama booked in to a London Hotel, Park Lane no less. She had rich tastes and I wondered where the money came from, perhaps we could break her if Esme didn't want to kill her that was.
Esme
I'd been to London several times with Carlisle, he liked to visit occasionally to see how his home town was developing so I knew my way round and as Belissama had kindly decided to stay put we flew straight there courtesy of Darius.
"What are you going to do Esme?"
"Kill the bitch then you and I can take a long vacation on Isle Esme, I'm sure Carlisle wont mind, after all he gave it to me as a present. Its very beautiful and I'd like to visit once more, then we can sell it and go wherever you want. Show me your world Garrett."
"My world? Well it isn't one of private jets and tropical islands Esme, you might be disappointed."
"Never my love, never".
He smiled and I knew he heard the truth in my words, all the luxuries in the world faded to chaff if the man at your side wasn't the one you loved and I realised although I had been very fond of Carlisle I had never loved him as I loved Garrett.
Darius had booked us a suite next to Belissama and we waited until he informed us she was in before going to our rooms. While Garrett watched the corridor for any stray humans I knocked on her door,
"House Keeping madam"
I heard her curse and come to the door ready to complain but I didn't give her the chance. I hit the door and it flew open smashing her in the face and knocking her backwards to break a dainty side table which was a shame, it was rather a nice one. Before she could get to her feet I was on her, pinning her to the thickly carpeted floor.
"I'll bet you didn't expect to see me did you bitch?"
"Esme? Are you crazy? What are you doing? Surely this isn't because I left Edward in Volterra, you should have seen him, it was grotesque."
"Oh I did see him, and no this has nothing to do with Edward and everything to do with you."
Garrett had followed me in and jammed the door back in place as best he could.
"Belissama. No running water to save you this time."
"Wrong again Garrett"
But I had already thought of that, the river Thames was within her range and it was running water but before she could bring her gift into play I struck, biting into her throat and causing her to lose concentration as I slowly bit through until her head was almost severed. As she tried to speak I heard the crash of water in the street below, it had been close and I wondered how they would explain the sudden water spout that formed in the river.
"Too late Belissama. This is for Garrett, not Edward."
I finished removing her head then we put both parts of Belissama in the tub and watched as she burned to ash.
"Right, I think that's about it. Lets see if Darius can work a little more of his magic and get us to Isle Esme so I can strip you naked and take full advantage of that magnificent body."
Garrett laughed at my words and took me in his arms,
"Esme I never thought I'd find anyone like you, I used to envy Carlisle but he had no idea how lucky he was...or I now am"
Rinsing the ashes out of the tub we made our way out into the waterlogged street where the humans still looked around confused and amazed. The Thames had done a good job of washing the street clear although the people who owned the Porsche now parked on top of the Rolls Royce would probably not be smiling when they got the bill for repairs! Catching a taxi we headed for Heathrow airport and the flight to Rio which Darius bless him had arranged for us before signing off. I would miss the others but I was looking forward to our time alone.
