BPOV:
Things seem to grind to a halt when everyone realized that the last time Emmett had been heard from he'd been at home with Rose. I thought of my bestie and partner in crime. Her and Emmett were just now actively trying to have a baby; they had plans and they couldn't be gone. I couldn't accept that.
I didn't notice anything going on around me. I just stared at the charred remains of the house. I bit my lip as the tears started to pour out of my eyes.
"Bella baby; the car is here to take you to the hotel with your brother" Edward said from behind me.
"What if they want us to do this, they want us to be separate make it easier for them to take one of us out. Edward I don't want to go to my parents I want to stay with you" I whined.
"I know babe, please know the prince wants his princess at his side always; but the King and queen would never allow it. We both know that Bella; remember we promised to play by the rules" Edward said leaning down to press his lips to mine.
"This is so unfair. I'm scared and I don't want to think about Emmett and Rosalie" I whispered.
"I know love. We'll find out what happened and who did this and they will be punished. There is no way this will go unanswered" Edward growled.
"Why would anyone come after us Edward. I don't understand what Emmett could have done?" I asked.
"In this business beautiful there is always a reason to take someone out, money, territory, respect. Just because our fathers demand honor and respect doesn't mean that there aren't people who won't try" Edward said.
"So does that mean we're always going to be targets?" I asked resting my head on my fiancés chest.
"Aww come on princess. You gotta believe that as dangerous as this is; you and I are going to be fine. I will make sure that we're safe. So, I gotta figure out who tried to grow a pair of balls" Edward said kissing the top of her my head.
"I'm scared. I'm worried about Rosalie and Emmett, I mean did you know they were trying for a baby?" I looked up at him
"Yeah, It was Emmett's mission to get them pregnant before we do. It's a competitive thing we have with each other" Edward laughed holding me tighter.
"I don't even know how to respond to that, but you realize if we were to get pregnant now I'll be huge at our wedding?" I laughed and then realizing that Rosalie might not be standing beside me I started to cry.
Edward stared down at me trying to wipe away my tears. "Baby, seriously, I would love you anyway, don't cry. It's gonna be okay" he said and I then understood he had no idea as to the reason why I was crying.
"No Edward. You don't understand. Rosalie is my maid of honor. If she's not there I-" I couldn't even finish.
"Baby I don't even want you to be thinking about that okay. I will make this okay. I swear it will be alright and you will ger the wedding day you've been dreaming about. Don't give this another thought" he said taking me cheeks into his hands and looking into my eyes.
"Baby; Edward- she's my best friend. I don't want to think about her being trapped in that house. I don't want to think about her suffering or her being pregnant and-"
"Boss- the car is waiting to take Ms. Bella to her parents and her father is asking that she be taken to the safe house now" an enforcer stepped into the room interrupting us.
"Okay princess. Let me do this, let me make this better for us. I just need you to be a good girl- I swear I will come and get you as soon as I figure this shit out" Edward said leaning down to kiss me"
"Please be safe and please hurry up. I can't be away from you. I need to be with you" I whispered softly.
"No worries, I'll come over there tonight once we're done. I know the press is going to be all over this shit" Edward said.
"Well hopefully then they will see that Emmett and Rose are missing and they will back off us for a while I said on my toes to kiss him.
"Well we can always hope, so just go and try to be a good girl; don't give Rachel and Riley much trouble" he said quietly and kissing the end of my nose.
"I'll be good. Just come and see me tonight when you're done doing whatever it is you're going to do; and please don't do anything to get yourself arrested" I poked him in the chest.
"No I am just going to fix this shit and see if I can't get our family through this latest scandal relatively unscathed" he nodded and shrugged.
"I believe in you handsome. I know you'll take care of us" I said softly touching his face.
"You put entirely too much faith in me; and I love you for it" he smiled as he gently took my hand and led me downstairs and out the front door.
We both looked next door and there was barely anything left but the frame of Emmett and Rosalie's house. It was still burning in some spots and the fire department was meandering around putting out the hot spots. I was sucked in a large breath and again covered my mouth. I tried to blink away the tears "Oh my god Rosalie- "I gasped before Edward pulled me into a bear hug.
"Shh, it's okay baby. It's going to work out. I it doesn't seem possible but I know it's all going to be okay my love" he said softly kissing my cheeks.
"Edward if they were home there is no way either of them survived that. This is so not fair" I cried.
"I know babe. I'm sorry; just have a little faith in me okay baby" he stared into my eyes and winked subtly.
"Edward- do you-"
"I will never put you in a fucked-up situation because I do fucked up shit" he said cryptically.
"I don't even understand what that means; but I know I trust you so I'm just going to let it go" I said not having it in me to try to understand what was going on around me at this point but I knew I was missing something.
"Good. Just go with that. Keep trusting that I love you and will always have your best interest at the top of the list baby; now come on my pretty little vixen" he said giving me that devilish grin; and just like that for that moment I felt better and I wasn't scared or anxious and knew he would make it all okay.
I felt like spun glass as he carefully placed me in the back of the SUV and kissed me softly.
"I'll see you in a few hours beautiful girl. Remember be a good girl and don't give your mom and brother a problem; I'll see you soon baby" he said as he stepped back and blew a kiss to me.
"Enzo- dude I'm trusting you; do me this solid and you know I got you bro" Edward said motioning his head toward me; Enzo responded with some weird two finger hand motion he then shut my door door and then climbed into the passenger seat.
"Straight to the four seasons; ten under the speed limit" he barked at Kenny and then went back to looking down at the message he was typing into his phone.
I started to look at a few bridal magazines as we started the hour-long drive to the hotel. I folded down pages in the magazines of dresses flowers and table settings that I liked. I was having a hard time believing I was going to be getting married. I smiled as I leaned my head back against the headrest and closed my eyes for what I thought was a brief moment.
"Ms. Bella; we're here. Wake up please?" I slowly opened my eyes to Enzo's voice.
"Hey; your mom and brother are upstairs waiting for you. I'll take you up" he said with a smile.
"Where's Edward; is he okay. Did anyone hear from Emmett or Rosalie yet?" I asked
"Yeah, have you met him? He's going to be just fine. He's handling the shit at the house and the press; and nothing from Em or Rose yet but you don't need to worry Ms. Bella- I'm sure everything will be okay. No need for you to worry. As soon as I see the boss I'll have him call you okay?" Enzo asked as he led me inside the elevator.
"Thank you so much Enzo; I really appreciate you; it's weird seeing you not in a suit and tie. The Jeans and hoodie suit you" I whispered chewing on my lip in worry. I was starting to feel out of sorts and jumpy. I was missing my sister. I was angry because I felt like somehow Alice and all her bullshit had something to do with this.
"No thanks needed. It's just my job. I don't want you to be all in your head over this; let us all do our jobs. We got this and it's not our first rodeo and this is supposed to be my night off. I was actually at a baseball game with my wife" he said
"Wow, I'm sorry. You'll apologize to her for me won't you. I feel so bad for her" I immediately felt sorry for the woman and I'd never met her.
"No worries. She's a tough girl. She knows the deal and she's made her peace with it. It won't be like this forever and besides it's always family over everything. Edward would do the same thing for me given the same circumstances and if I'm being completely honest he already has so don't give this another thought. You and Edward need me and I'm here. Maggie is actually a pretty relaxed woman" he said.
"I'd love to meet her sometime. You know you will be a guest at the wedding not an employee, right?" I asked as we got into the elevator.
"Ms. Bella where you and the skip; are involved I'm always about keeping the two of you safe. So even if I'm not on the clock I'm always aware of what's going on. It's this thing I have. I told Edward I'd always cover his six and I meant it. Even more so now. I mean I'm pretty sure the fucker will be a father before long and no one should have to raise the spawn of Satan alone" he said with a kind smile as the elevator doors opened and there stood my step mother.
"Hey Mrs. Swan. Edward wanted Bella to be with you and Riley until they figure out what's going on. He figures she'd be safer here than at the house" Enzo explained.
"Thank you Enzo I just talked to Esme; Come on in. Charlie is going to come back with you so I just figured you can head down with him- you want coffee?" Rachel asked motioning for another enforcer to take my bags.
"No ma'am; but thank you though. Is Mr. Swan ready to head over?" Enzo asked.
"He's in the office- you know where it is sweetie. Go on back; he's expecting you" Rachel said never taking her eyes off me.
"Hey sweet girl; how are you holding up?" she asked wrapping her arm around my shoulder.
"I'm-well; I'm not really sure. I'm kind of all over the place; I do know that I'm worried about Emmett and Rosalie. I can't really imagine anything happening to them. She's my best friend. I don't want all of this to stress Edward out. He doesn't need or want the drama. I'm pissed because I really believe this would have never happened if Alice would have just been fucking normal. So yeah, I'm all over the place" I said without breathing.
"Well with all that is going on that is to be expected and you're thinking about your wedding and keeping an eye on that man of yours; the drama that she brought to the family's doorstep is- I don't even know how to respond; Have you had dinner? Your father told me that your dinner was kind of interrupted"
"I am but right now I'd really just like to take a shower and finish getting my make up off" I laughed.
"Of course. Let me show you where your room is. It's actually right next door to Riley. He's back in the office with your dad. But you have your own bathroom in here. I can get you some extra towels if you need?" Rachel asked her eyes looked so concerned.
"I know you're worried Rachel and I get it but really I'm okay. A little worried about what all of this is going to do to Edward; but otherwise I'm fine" I promised her.
"I know but it's just been a lot of change and a lot of drama on you and I just worry that some of this hasn't sunk in and you're not processing it and I don't want you to think that you have to go through this alone" she said sitting down on the large bed in my room
"Bella, I'm not your mom and I won't ever try to replace her. I've heard that the two of you had a very close and special bond; but I care about you just as much as I care about Riley, Seth and Jaime. I think that once you get to know your brothers they won't be as irritating as the were the night of the ball" she laughed nervously.
"Rachel it's fine. I know you're not trying to replace my mom. I think that a person could never have too many people that love them; so I'm glad I have you and the boys even if they were super annoying that night. It's all going to work out. Do you want to look at some wedding stuff with me after my shower?" I asked.
"I'd love that. Let me know if you need anything and your brothers are right next door. Bella we're all glad to have you back. This means the world to me and your dad" she smiled and rubbed my knee before walking out softly closing the door behind her.
Being alone these days was so rare for me and I honestly enjoyed the solitude. Don't get me wrong my fiancé is an amazing man. I love being with him and my best friend and sister in law is my partner in crime but sometimes a girl loves nothing more than just being alone with her thoughts and the quiet. I let out a long deep breath and felt myself relax. No drama, no noise, just me and I loved it. A forty-five-minute steaming hot shower and being wrapped in a warm fluffy robe afterwards is the best treat ever. I was just finishing brushing my hair when there was a knock on the door and I laughed softly and thought to myself "you knew that wasn't going to last forever"
"Come on in Rachel" I smiled as she popped in.
"I'm sorry but I never thought I would get to be on the bridal side of wedding planning and I'm so happy you're including me" she gushed.
"No, it's fine. I'm glad I have you. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing. So I'm lucky that you're going to be along for the ride" I said as I dug the piles of magazines out of my bag along with my planning book that Rosalie had gotten me.
"So my first question is- have you and Edward picked a date?" she asked.
"Yeah so Edward and I were thinking sometime in late May like maybe the 25th, I figure at this point that gives us about six months. We would be able to get through the holidays and about a year from when we met?"
"Good idea; I think the holidays for us this year are going to be interesting to say the least; you know the whole blended family powerhouse press circus, you don't need the stress. Have you thought about colors or a theme?" Rachel pressed.
"Red, black and white of course. I think Charlie and Carlisle would have a fit if it was anything but and if I tried to put Edward in pink he would explode and Emmett would give him shit until his dying breath. No way do I wanna be responsible for that" I explained.
"It is after all your day. You're the bride; this is about what you've dreamt about since you were a little girl" Rachel explained as she looked at a dress I had I marked.
"Oh my god; My god; This dress" Rachel gasped as she blotted her eyes with a tissue. The red trimmed satin princess ball gown dressed had given me the same reaction. The minute I saw it I knew that was it. I'm not sure how my dad or Esme will feel about the black and the corset. I mean the whole side boob thing; but the rest of the dress is everything I want" I smiled.
"If you want it we will make it happen. I may have to drug your father but it's going to be the day that you have dreamed of" Rachel reassured
"Okay well; I guess we should find a seamstress; I don't want Edward to know anything and I don't want my dress. I want to show it to him right before I walk down the aisle. Just he and I- no one else" I smiled
"But you're not supposed to see him before the wedding?" Rachel asked.
"We're breaking bad on that tradition. Edward and I both thrive on our quiet moments together. I think the fact we are opening up our wedding to the press and media; the least we can be given is a few minutes alone together before the rest of the world sees us" I pleaded.
"We will make it happen and tomorrow Esme and I will get cake tastings and measurement appointments made. I assume Edward is to decide on what he wants for the groomsmen?"
"He is; I don't think he knows that though; this whole wedding thing is so out of his comfort zone. He is use to being the odd man out. So, I think that this is scary for him. I have to be conscious of that. Navigating this relationship hasn't been easy for either of us" I confessed.
"How so; I really wish I could have been here to help you. It breaks my heart the thought of you being out in the word all by yourself" her voice low and said.
"You and my dad should really let that go; I survived and we're together now. I'm fine that seems like another person's life. I don't even think about it. I just wish my mom would have considered what I would have wanted. I mean I know our families are not the most law-abiding citizens; but I still had the right to know the truth. I just figure she had her reasons and thought she was being a mom doing the right thing to protect her baby; I just try to leave it at she had good intentions" I explained.
"I think what I admire most about you is that you try to see or assume that there is good in everyone. Now I'm in no way implying there was malice in your mother's intentions. I just want you to be careful and not allow that to cloud you from seeing people for who they really are. I have no doubt that between your father and your future husband I doubt that anyone would ever be able to get that close to you" Rachel said as she wrote down a few more notes.
We spent the better part of three hours talking about the wedding and before I knew it; it was close to four in the morning. I was barely keeping my eyes open when I crawled under my covers. I didn't even feel Edward slipping into bed with me.
When I woke up I was on Edward's chest. He was lightly snoring and the room was still pitch black the heavy drapes hiding us from the bright Florida sun.
I wiggled out of his hold on me to head to the bathroom. The clock next to the bed read half past eleven. I couldn't believe we'd slept that long.
I was in the bathroom washing my face when I felt him. I turned to find him leaning against the door frame.
"How'd it go last night?" I asked.
"Like we expected it too. Media circus; which is what we wanted. We wanted them to think that Emmett, Rosalie and Alice were in the house and it's exactly what the story is supposed to say" Edward winked.
"Edward-babe you gotta give me something to go on" I asked brushing my hair out.
"I really can't. I keep telling you I won't put you in a fucked up situation because I do fucked up shit" he smiled and walked over to the shower.
"Does my dad know that you were in my bed last?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"He told me where your room was; but he was also clear he didn't want any funny business; whatever that means" he said with a dark chuckle.
"You know exactly what he meant, now when can I go home?" I asked.
"I'm hoping in the next few days but we're gonna go stay over at one of my other properties but we're not going back to my parent's house. I don't need the drama right now."
"Drama like how?" I asked.
"Well baby I'm sorry but a body was recovered from Rose and Emmett's house. It was Alice. She was over there visiting Rose when the bomb exploded" he said sadly.
All of a sudden so many things about the blast and the timing and the attacks on us made sense. This was just a means to get rid of Alice.
"And the second we're married I won't have to keep you in the dark anymore" he crooned as he pulled me into his chest.
"I understand, so are Rose and Emmett okay?" I asked hopefully.
"I'm sure they are but for the sake of making this look real as hell we can have no contact with them right now; just be patient baby. Now we got kind of a full day. We got ring fittings and a cake tasting then you're going off for the dress thing. Your dad is coming for that. I'm going with my dad for my tux fitting"
"Can you believe we're getting married? But won't it look bad me going and doing wedding shit with Rose and Emmett missing?"
"Who freaking cares. We do what we want when we want" Edward said
"So fucking true bro" Emmett's voice boomed and we both turned around to see Emmett and Rosalie standing in the doorway covered in soot but smiling.
"Am I really seeing them right now?" I asked quietly taking a few deep breaths.
"You're seeing them babe. It's okay-they're okay. They were never not okay. We always knew they were in the house." Edward said with a smirk
"It was all- I mean" I stuttered
"We had to find a way to get rid of Alice that wasn't so obvious and like I said I'd never wanna put you in a fucked up situation because I do fucked up shit" he said kissing my nose.
"I was worried freaking sick, so not fair. If I wasn't so excited to see you both I want to fucking kill you both" I said launching myself at Rosalie.
"Girl I'm your maid of honor. Did you really think I would miss planning this wedding? Come on you should have known"
"Somewhere inside I think I did; but you know I'm still learning. I'm just glad that you're okay" I said hugging her again.
"I'm sure the press is eating up the fact that you were both found" Edward snorted.
"Dude I should win the academy award for the shit I spat at the camera about how I am just a night club owner and these people keep coming after me and my wife in our home" Emmett laughed.
"You're okay, though right? We tried to wire it just right so your impact from the actual blast would be minimal.
"Yeah Enzo did amazing, you know I was thinking- when seats open up?" Emmett asked.
"I'd actually been thinking that for a while; he's worked his ass off from the bottom. He deserves it especially after last night. The motherfucker struck like lightening and disappeared like smoke. We didn't even know he had been there but when we smelled the accelerant we had enough time to get into the safe rooms and I heard Alice calling for Rose right before the blast" Emmett and
"Did you let them recover the problem?" Edward asked
"Jasper did what he was supposed to do. We all play the parts perfectly. Nothing to worry about" Emmett said.
"Well we're rid of the rat problem and now they think someone is truly after us. I'll have to keep the streets quiet for a while but I don't think that'll put us in much of a bind as far as the money aspect; I just don't know what we do with the restless ass holes in the crews" Edward stated as he sat down at the table where the hotel staff had laid out breakfast for us.
"Not really your problem. You have me Jas and Felix for a reason Edward. That's something for the front boss and the capos to deal with. I mean I get why Felix has been MIA but we can't keep running his crew until Irina delivers. We need him, especially if this shit with the Colletti's isn't put to bed all the way; I mean I got nothing but faith in Milo and Osi, and moving Enzo into a seat is a boss move but what happens if by some twist of weird ass fate the Colletti's try to stage some shit we're gonna need all our seats filled Eddie" Emmett said stuffing his mouth full of pancakes.
Edward looked pensive and deep in thought; almost brooding. Like there was something right under the surface I was missing.
"Give the Colletti crew to Enzo. That is gonna be a difficult sell but Enzo has that short fuse that I think that's what it's going to take to get those fucks in line but if they think they have the balls; Enzo kind of has that no nonsense no bullshit attitude that I think is gonna make those motherfuckers think twice about trying to step out of line with him" Edward said but I could tell his thoughts were somewhere else; I was seriously worried about him.
"Alright well get a meet together. Call Declan and see if we can borrow a restaurant of his so it's not nearly as obvious. They'd never think about a few of us in Irish territory in Chicago no doubt, but you might also want to give the Biancciano famiglia a call and let them know we're on their streets. It's a respect thing" Edward ordered still picking at his breakfast.
"Alright I'll make some things happen; I'm still going to let Felix know he's gotta come back to work; no worries bro- we got this" Emmett said slapping Edward on the shoulder. "Come on Rosie; I'll drop you at mom and dad's while I go to work" he said holding out his hand
"Don't forget to remind Jasper he is supposed to be mourning and getting ready to bury his wife. I worked to hard on this to make this a non-issue for us familywise and now we all need to play our parts"
"We got it Ed, what are you up to today? Are you gonna be around?" Emmett asked.
"Nah apparently I got a tux fitting and a cake tasting and some other wedding shit going on today so you're in charge Em, and make sure you are backing up Osi and Milo" he commanded.
At last we were alone. My father and brothers were off with Carlisle handling business and my step mother and Esme were off securing the venue for the wedding.
"Are you okay baby?" I asked him as I watched him use his fork to shove his food around his plate.
"It's kind of fucking lonely at the top. And stressful as fuck" he barked out a laugh.
"Is there anything I can do?" I asked him with a conspiratorial smile on my face.
"Do you even need to ask?" he tilted his head down and right then I knew what he wanted and what he needed.
Before I met Edward, oral sex wasn't something I knew very much about and him teaching me had been one of the most erotic things ever. His fingers in my hair guiding me his demands of more tongue less teeth breath through your nose babe, open wider. That's it take me deeper. The feeling of his hands tightening in my hair. My eyes water from the force of his thrust and that seems to turn him on even more. Our eyes lock and he whisper's "Dam how fucking sexy are you with a mouth full of my cock" I moan again and snake my tongue along the vein on the underside of his long hard shaft. He grunts and groans and his thrusts become erratic and his grip and pull on my hair is so tight it's almost painful but it feels so good at the same time.
His phone rings and I start to pull away and he hisses
"Don't you fucking dare stop"
Taking him deeper in to my throat I smile when he stumbles out a hello.
"Yeah Jas, I'm good-just yeah- you okay?" he asked as he weaves his fingers deeper and harder into my hair and starts to move me faster.
"Nope it's not the right- Jesus- nah just do what you want man" Edward groaned as I moved my tongue in the way I've learned drives him crazy
I sigh trying not to choke and laugh when he groans out fuck and drops his phone.
He recovers quickly though.
"Nah just finishing up breakfast with Bella; we're about to go to my tux fitting and stuff" he went completely stiff and still and then hissed out mother fuck as I swallowed around the tip of his long hard shaft.
"Nah man, I just got some other shit in my lap right now I need to deal with" he said yanking on my hair and giving me a look to behave.
He listened to Jasper speak for a bit and then all was quiet.
"Yeah just come to the house later on tonight we'll figure it out but I gotta go man" he said and he slammed his phone down and yanked me up into his lap.
"You wanna misbehave huh-let me show you what happens when I'm frustrated and you push me" he growled and his eyes dilated and his chest heaved
"Edward, I'm sorry. You have to calm down we have to meet our parents on the other side of town in 45 minutes- you have to wait" I whispered.
"No I don't think you're as sorry as you're about to be. We don't have a lot of time so we better make this quick and hard" he said as he ripped open my robe and pulled me into his lap and pushed my panties to the side.
"Edward I-" and he pulled me down on his length hard our lips crashed together and his teeth bit down. I screamed out my nails dug into his shoulder holding to try to stay seated against his brutal punishing pace.
"You'll be a good girl next time won't you" he growled
I couldn't respond. All I could do is hold on and let him get his pent-up frustrations out. His pace never wavered but the bites to my neck and shoulders and fingertips deep in the globes of my ass were so rough but god dam it was amazing and I wasn't going to stop him.
The rough hard friction sent me into two orgasms almost one right after the other but he was still going strong and didn't look like he was going to stop any time soon.
"Edward harder baby- get it out and hurry up- we're going to have to-"
"What the hell is going on!?" a voice demanded behind us and I gasped. I heard my father's voice.
"Oh my god" I whispered and giggled as the door slammed closed
"Shit, why did that just feel so fucking good?" Edward laughed
We both started to giggle.
"Not wanting to face the music we took our time showering and getting ready to head out for the tux fitting.
We walked out of our room hand in hand and right into the sitting area and the stern face of my father and smirking face of my brother Seth.
"Well shall we get this shit show on the road?" Charlie gruffly demanded standing up.
"hey you were early. You don't know how to knock and you know Bella and I have been living together and sleeping in the same bed. Don't get your wad twisted now. She's not a little girl Charlie" Edward snapped looking down at his phone.
"Yeah and you just made sure she's not a little girl in there didn't you?" Charlie turned around demanding.
"That's the plan; I plan on making my own little girl instead. Charlie you know I take care of her. I told you I make the decisions where she and I are concerned. You don't get a say man. I'm sorry you missed that part. But in four months she is going to be my wife. And for this next four months I want us all to become a tight cohesive family that can't be stopped but the quickest way to get me off that is to try to undermine what I want where she is concerned or make her feel bad for not a prude. She can't do that with me she tried and I wouldn't let her" Edward squared off and some part of me wanted to say that it was me that they were talking about; but then part of me said this was something that Edward and my dad needed to work this out. This wasn't really even about me. This about the shift in power; the organization and a change in leadership.
"Charlie let's take this in the other room. Rachel and Bella don't need to be involved in this" Edward growled.
"Guys we need to be at Armani in about thirty five minutes so I need you guys to put whatever this is on pause for Bella. Remember the day is about Bella and what she wants so I think you two can put the cock fight aside for a few hours smile and put her first since she after is your only daughter and the girl of your dreams" Rachel seethed.
"Look I-"
"No there is nothing but Bella. She is what matters today. The wedding of her dreams. Her day where she is the princess; so you two will stop this shit right now!" Esme stomped into the room.
I smiled softly. I loved how my step mother and my mother in law were making this about me and making the boys knock their male chauvinistic bullshit off.
They both glared at each other but shook hands and mumbled something under their breath as we all headed for the elevators.
The press was out in full swing as we exited the four seasons screaming for Edward to make a statement.
He lowered his sunglasses over his eyes at they started to hurl questions at us.
"Edward have you spoken to your brother?" a blonde female asked
"What do you think?" he snapped; she recoiled like she had been slapped.
"We're sorry about Alice; where is Jasper?" another female reporter asked
"He's taking some time off- we just ask that you respect our privacy and give us time to get use to having this large hole in our family. Alice was loved beyond stupidity by this whole family especially my brother. He is lost and heart broken. We are getting through this the best way we can and we are fully cooperating with the Miami Dade Sheriff's department as they investigate the multiple attempts taken to bring harm to our family" Edward said intensely.
"Edward there are rumors that these last few acts of violence exacted against your family is Organized Crime retaliation for new business deals and your engagement to Bella Swan which would link you to Charlie Swan and his business dealings. Edward is your family's legal business laundering money for a drug cartel?" a dark haired light eyed male reporter asked. I shook my head as the academy award should have been given to my father, fiancé and future father in law as they looked from one another and burst into a loud chorus of laughter.
"You motherfuckers follow me dam near everywhere I go, don't you think if I was some kind of mob boss you nosey fucks would have figured it out?" Edward laughed out.
There was a nervous chorus of laughter throughout the throng of reporters.
"Again, the Cullen and Swan families just ask that you respect our privacy as we grieve this loss" Edward said as we walked towards the vehicles.
Charlie made it a point to not ride in the same vehicle as Edward and I; and that pissed Edward off even more than he already was.
"Baby?" I whispered.
"What Bella?" he snapped.
"Don't be mad and ruin this please. I am so excited to start really planning our wedding; don't get mad and ruin this day. Please be the bigger person for me. I get it the way my dad is behaving is truly fucked up and yeah maybe it was hard for him to see you doing that to me today and it doesn't seem so bad because I'm not a little girl to you; but to him I am and I always will be and you have to give him that because- if it were our daughter- you can't honestly tell me you would be able to walk in and see our nineteen year old daughter having her brains fucked out and begging for more and being okay with it" I said quietly laying my head on his chest.
"I know but dammit I'm going to be your husband- "
"Going to be- but we're not quite there yet. So, to the king he still has some time left with the princess so the prince just needs to cool it for a bit" I said kissing the underside of his neck.
"I love you Bella and I'm sorry. I put you in a fucked up position because I kind of like doing fucked up shit" he said smiling down at me.
"I kinda liked the position I was put it today. Next time just give me a little bit of a warning. That was some crazy shit to have to come to term with" I said slapping his shoulder.
"Sorry baby, but I told you no; actually, I promised you I would make it okay. I told you in like our third letter I would never make you a promise I didn't intend or couldn't keep" he said pulling me to his chest.
The car slowed in front of the Armani in south beach. There were several other cars that held the collection of Edward's groomsmen. Osi, Milo, Jasper, Emmett, Felix and Enzo. Both of our fathers and then my brothers would serve as ushers.
The guys were all giving each other one armed hugs and handshakes and I was joined by Rosalie, Bree, Maggie who was Enzo's wife, Renata Osi's girlfriend and a very pregnant Irina who was Edward's cousin Felix's wife. I was introduced to and hugged and congratulated by the other ladies. Who would be in my wedding party.
"Full disclosure it's already better without a certain high pitched ringing in my ear" Rosalie said quietly.
"Ain't that the fucking truth but we didn't lose the feds" Irina said tipping hear head across the streets at a couple of unmarked crown Victoria unmarked but obviously cards that belonged to the FBI.
"I doubt we ever will; but I refuse to let it ruin the day for our family. Come on everyone" Esme announced to everyone.
