Chapter 10 Scars

Edward POV

Things had been hectic since the invites had been sent out. First, my mother was on my ass about it be so fast and not being able to throw me a proper mafia wedding. I told her I could give two shits how big it was as long as I was married to Bella that's all that mattered. It took a few days but she finally relented. Second, Jasper got a hit on the cops looking up information about Em and me. One of the cops that was on our payroll Brady told me it was low level pig named Hawkins. Colin Brady is the Police Deputy Chief and he told Hawkins the FBI was looking into us and if he looked us up again his ass was gone. FBI don't play with that shit. He lied of course well sort of, FBI might be checking on us and everything but to his knowledge nothing was going down as of now.

I trusted Brady, but he isn't Chief Todd and I wasn't sure if the Chief was on anyone's payroll. Third, I was a little shocked that no one had approached me about Bella since the missing person report. Whatever was happening with that seemed to be under wraps. Actually, I'm not shocked, only the ones closest to me know about Bella and I. Yeah, we were in the public at Midnight Sun the night we met but that is the only time we have been in pubic together. But, Since the invites have been sent out I've been extra cautious about going home or having anything that could involve Bella.

Only the families, immediate family, and close friends were invited. I trusted everyone who gotten an invite except the Volturi. It wouldn't surprise me if one of them called there pig friends once they got a hold of Bella's name.I would have been happy if there hadn't been any invites sent. But, that's not how it worked. It would also look suspicious if suddenly the pigs were trying to get in touch with me or Bella after the invites had been sent. I also wasn't going to apply for a marriage license until a few days before public records and all that.

Fourth, I hadn't really seen Bella in a few days. I do sneak home after getting a ride from one of my men so if anyone is watching doesn't know it's me. I'm pretty confident no one would get near my house without one of my guards noticing or finding it. The house isn't actually in my name but I do own it and only certain people know that I have another residence besides the penthouse. Every time I do go home though Bella is asleep or Alice is there helping with wedding plans. Bella's bedroom has been transformed into wedding central. I do know that Jessica moved most of Bella's things in our room but between us she was still sleeping in the other bedroom. We mostly texted when we could.

Fifth, We had a rat stealing money from us. Which is why Em, Jasper, and me have been pretty much living out of Jasper's house trying to find who it could be. So far, we haven't had any luck. My father told me to handle it as I seen fit and I agreed. That was probably the only one thing my father and I could come to a quick agreement on was rats needed to be taken care of.

We have been looking into everyone, even our own to try to determine who the rat is and so far haven't had any luck. Other than that, business has been good I guess, both of them anyways the legal and illegal.

"This is bullshit!" Emmet shouted banging his fists on Jasper's Desk
"Hey!" Jasper yelled "Don't break my desk your sister will have a fit, she picked it out!"
"Yeah man sorry I'm just exhausted"

Emmett had actually been wearing himself to the bone working nonstop with me, I didn't call him out on it, but I knew he was avoiding going home. I don't know what was going on with him and the blonde but whatever it was wasn't good. I haven't seen him this down in a while. I wasn't going to ask him either. Edward Cullen doesn't do feelings. Okay, that may be a lie, Bella was doing something to me and that enough terrified me. I felt different when I was with her but I didn't trust it. Not yet.

I had texted Bella earlier telling her to enjoy her day. Alice convinced me that Bella needed to get out and her as well out of my house. Telling me Bella needed a day to go get her dress. That her friend Senna had an excellent stock. I told her it wasn't possible. Alice huffed and said fine she would get the stock that she had. After I ended the phone call, I really thought about it, Senna was a friend of Alice's they went to school together. I called up Senna and asked if she would close for a private viewing, and would pay her a good sum if she did. She was a sweet thing and said yes and she would be ready. I didn't tell her who it was for just in case. I also called the Spa. Alice is also friends with the manager there, I booked the rest of the day there and decided Alice and Rose could use a day as well. I told her it was for the future Mrs. Cullen but didn't give her first name. I told her my instructions and that there would be bodyguards. She complied and would have everything set up.

I called Alice back to let her know, and I swear I'll need to get my ears checked from the squeal that she let out. I told her to keep the spa part a surprise and I would let Bella know about going to get a dress.

I had confirmation the girls made it safely to the dress shop earlier and that no one had been following. It was still a risk her leaving with Alice no matter the precautions I took to ensure her safety. Alice was well known in Seattle so it was a risk. But at the same time, Alice is always coming and going around Seattle so it was also a safe bet because it wouldn't look suspicious.

I started pulling my hair at that point, what if someone did see her? Nope, I shouldn't have let her go should have stuck to my guns. But no I had to be the good guy that is in me somewhere. Just then my phone rang. I quickly fished it out of my pocket, alarmed when the caller was Laurent. Oh shit, already something happened. Was she seen? The cops pull her over?

"Cullen" I had both Jasper's and Emmett's attention.
"Boss?" Laurent said all hesitant like. Why did he seem hesitant?
"Yeah?"
"Ms. Swan told me she was riding with Ms. Hale." What the fuck? " I know you told me she was to stay with Ms. Alice at all times. " He was right so why the fuck was he calling me? "And?" Laurent swallowed on the other end. " It seems she has been stuck at Ms. Hale's side since she has been here. She seems more comfortable with her at the moment." He finished lamely.

I knew Rose and Emmett was having problems at the moment, and I'm sure that is why Bella wanted to ride with Rose. I didn't like the sudden change of plans but since Bella has been cooped up I'll let it slide. This time.

"Laurent, she can ride with her but from now on do as I say and make sure you are in the car behind her no exceptions."
"Got it Boss."

I hung up the phone and quickly texted Bella to let her know I was not pleased with the sudden change of plans. I had Laurent still guarding Bella until at least we were married. When I took over officially, I would need Laurent back on me just as a precaution. Zafrina came highly recommended and her training was high-skilled. I was impressed by her skills so much I thought she be perfect to be Bella's personal bodyguard. She would probably feel more comfortable with a female anyways. I then turned my attention back to my brother and brother in law.

"Anything?"

"Nothing, no one in our group seems suspicious. I've went through everything I could think of, I've even went through everyone's bank accounts. Now, if there is hidden offshore accounts, I haven't found those just yet. So far, nothing looks out of ordinary." Damn.

"Okay, Can we take a break for now? We have been going at this for days and we aren't any closer to finding anything than we were days ago." Emmett was done. I also had a feeling he wanted to go home because the blonde wasn't there.

"No, I feel like if we keep digging we will find something." I could feel it in my bones. Jasper may think we can't find anything but I felt like we was overlooking something.

Emmett nodded but he wasn't happy. If he was this fucking miserable with her why didn't he just tell her to leave? I'll never understand. We started getting back into the files when Emmett's phone went off. He looked at it and sighed. He then excused himself and walked out of Jasper's office. Leaving the office was stupid because as soon as he answered it she was yelling and him back.

At that moment all that was going through my mind was why the hell was he letting her talk to him like that? Also, what the hell was going on with her? The yelling continued and Jasper and I exchanged a glance at each other.

"Why do you always gotta be riding my ass?" Emmett screamed in the phone "I need this Emmett!" Rose was loud as hell too. I heard Emmett sigh "Put Sam on the phone NOW!" "Make sure she is secure and ride with Laurent, you better make sure you guys stay on her car's ass." He then hung up I heard him yell out "Bitch" when he walked back into Jasper's office. Both Jasper and I looking at him although Jasper's expression was one of pity? I was still confused aa to why he let her talk to him like that.

"What the hell man?" I told myself I was going to ask what was the problem but damn my brother wasn't acting like my brother lately. He had been way too distracted, making mistakes in shipments, and was angry pretty much all the time. Which was different than his usual jolly self. It felt like a switch had been flipped he had become angry while I was embracing my nice guy side.

"She just ugh man she hasn't let up with the bitchiness since the other night." He had leaned up against the wall his fingers holding his nose.

"What happened the other night?" Jasper asked.

I interrupted. "Better question is why you let her talk to you like that?"

Emmett then glanced at me and for the first time in days he smiled and let out a laugh. Jasper was even trying to hide his chuckles.

"Dude, I was hoping by the way you're acting maybe Bella had gotten under that thick skin of yours." What the hell?

"Okay, guess not. Anyways can we speak like brothers all that Mafia boss shit out the window for a few minutes?" I thought fine, I could separate for a few minutes and be a supporting brother, I felt like he wanted to talk anyways.

"Go ahead." I then took a seat in Jasper's chair and focused my attention on Em.

"Look, I know you're not totally hopeless, I know you do have some emotions in there and not some cold bastard." He looked at me and I started back waiting on him to get on with it. He sighed.

" Rose and I are real open with each other about our feelings, thoughts and all that, we can talk to each other about anything. Anyways, lately, things have been strained between us."

I couldn't help it I laughed "You don't say?" He gave me a glare but then continued to talk.

"I may have kept Sam a secret from her, and things have been bad ever since. I understand why she was mad about that, but it's for her own safety. Anyways, the other night, when things were settling down between us and I thought we were back on good terms it went to hell. Rose started asking me questions about the future what did I want? Did I want to get married? Have kids? Buy a house?"

"Questions she had a right to ask." Jasper pointed out

"I'm not saying she didn't, I told her I wanted to marry her and buy a house with her someday. That seemed to please her but I told her I was dead set on not having children."

For the longest that I could remember Emmett didn't want children.

"That didn't go well, because children was something she always wanted. I told her it wasn't happening and that's that. I knew it was wrong to push her off like that but I know kids is something I wouldn't be able to compromise on. She blew a gasket, and we have been fighting ever since."

"Is it something that she can compromise on though?" Jasper said while moving some papers around. "I mean, if it's going to always be an issue between you guys, than you guys may not be the right people for each other."

I quickly looked at Emmett, his face red, he didn't agree with Jasper's words. But, Jasper had a point. If the two couldn't compromise on children then it may not work out in the long run. I mean better than now if they were to be married. He couldn't divorce her, he would be stuck with her for the rest of his life.

"I couldn't be without her." He said in a final tone.

"Then I don't know man. Maybe you guys can work something out." Jasper quickly ended the conversation and got back to business.

I didn't know what to say I had never been in a relationship, I didn't have any advice. I know my brother loved her it was written all over his face. He was different and I know Rosalie is the one he was meant to be with. As much I can't stand her I would eventually have to get used to her.

"It'll work out Em." I didn't know what else to say. He turned to me now.

"I hope and the reason I let her talk to me like that is because I'm not some dictator. She should be able to express her feelings. I don't treat her like some slave." He then gave me a shady look

"What the fuck are you on about?" I didn't treat Bella like some slave

"Come on, dude she can't even change a ride without your approval. Granted, we know it's for her safety But Rose was going to the same place as the rest of them. They have bodyguards for a reason would it have made a difference if she had just rode with Rose? No, Laurent had to get your permission."

"Um, Rose had to call you just for you to tell Sam to ride with Laurent, we all heard it."

What was this fucker thinking? Acting like we didn't even hear that conversation?

"I think that was a little different, I wouldn't have cared if Rose had rode with Alice or if Bella had been driving. It wouldn't have made a difference because they were all going to the same place. She knows I told Sam to stay on her that's why she called. Granted, she was yelling about it, but like I said things are tense between us right now. I felt like she needed alone time with Bella, and like I said there all going to the same place."

"And what if she just decided to ride off with Bella?" I was beginning to regret this whole day.

"Dude! It's not like that at all. Look, I know you have trust issues…." What the fuck? "What does that have to do with anything?"

"Man, dad really fucked you up didn't he?"
"Shut the fuck up Emmett! Get on with it!"
"Sorry, that was low my bad." I started pacing why does he have to dig up the past? Jasper looked like he was going to have to separate us. Ha! Good luck trying

"Look, Rose loves me and she loves Bella, she knows how important all of this is. She wouldn't do that. I trust HER."

He was right in a way, I had deep trust issues, it was hard for me to let go. I had to have things a certain way, I had to be in control.

"Besides Sam and Laurent are in the car behind her she wouldn't have gotten far." He then started laughing hard he snorted.

I ignored that. "Look, I understand to some degree. But her yelling at you in front of Sam and the rest of them makes you look weak."

He quit laughing. "And you're right to a certain point, I agree. She shouldn't have done that but they also need to know that she's my partner as well. That she's important."

"Okay and I get that as well, but what if she had done that and dad was here? Or she did it in front of another family? " I think Emmett was missing the bigger picture here

"Rose knows better when she's around them. That no matter how pissed she is she can't act like that and dad wasn't here and if he was I would have went outside"

"I think you're missing the point Em."

"No, I get what you're saying, but if that situation happened it would have be handled."

He was right, well to a certain degree, I told Bella she could hate me as much as she wanted to in private but in front of others I was to be shown respect. But had I really done that? I yelled at her in front of Mrs. Cope and Jessica when I didn't want her doing stuff around the house. Constantly talked down at her in front of Laurent. I thought telling her she would be head of the house would make things different, that I wanted her to take charge when it came to things. To be able to tell me things. But, that didn't happen like I thought it would. Emmett was right, If I wanted a partner, I had to treat her like a partner. My problem was the trust. Could I fully trust her?

"It's also different for them Edward. Rose and Bella, they didn't grow up like this, they don't know everything. They aren't like Alice or mom."

"Trust me, no one is like your sister." Jasper let out a laugh. "But Emmett is right She and you guys grew up like this, Rose and Bella didn't they don't know everything that comes with it. You can't just expect them to know the rules and abide by them just like that." He snapped his fingers.

Both of them made good points. My phone then vibrated, Laurent's name flashing. What the fuck now? Wait what if something had happened now?

"Cullen" Inside my heart was going crazy, why? Maybe because this is the second time he has called.

"Um,Boss?" Now he seemed hesitant and annoyed?

"Yeah, look I know you told me to stay with Ms. Swan.. I cut him off.

"Yeah, You know your orders."

"Yes, Boss Listen, they are going to be naked. No offense I will go if I need to. But to save all of us some embarrassment… I cut him off again.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NAKED?" What kind of spa is this? Both Emment and Jasper turned towards me. Jasper smirking. I bet that fucker knew what was going on. Em just looked confused.

"Yeah Boss, naked." He repeated again like I didn't hear him the first time. He would see Bella naked? I haven't even seen Bella naked yet.

"I heard you, listen tell Zafrina to be with them at all times." No wait fuck that, I paid for a private room. "Have Zafrina check the room and guard it. No one in and out but the workers and make sure you keep an eye out on everybody."

"Will do boss" I hung up the phone and was met with Em and Jasper's faces.

"Well?" I didn't know what to say.

"It just hit you didn't it? " Jasper was trying his best to keep from laughing but he was failing miserably.

"You knew?"

"Of course, I knew. You're sister goes once a month."

"Oh." It hit Emmett finally. "You didn't know she would be naked." Emmett did laugh. I gave him a look and he stopped.

"I didn't think that naked. I thought they have like robes or towels or something. Not butt ass naked."

"Oh, they do but some women just go all out there. Like you're sister she gets a Brazilian wax."

"I don't want to know." I really didn't.

"What's a Brazilian wax? It sounds exotic." Why Emmett why?

"It's wear they wax all the pubic hair."

"Oh, God. No why did I even ask." Emmett started gagging. Serves him right.

"Alice said it hurts like a bitch. But let me tell you it's worth it. " He smirked.

"Oh asshole, don't that's our sister." I wasn't even wanting to hear all that

"Yeah, my bad." He then turned and got back to working

"I wonder if Rosie will get one?" Just a minute ago this asshole calling her a bitch and now he thinking about sex.

I knew Bella wasn't going to get one, something about her letting some stranger see her naked and see those parts, let alone wax them. Plus, she was a virgin so I just felt that wasn't going to happen. I wondered though if the spa had been a good idea though.

"There are other things there, they can get massages, get their hair done, nails, I mean you name it. " Jasper spoke his eyes never leaving the paper he was reading. His brows scrunched together, he suddenly started holding his chest.

"Yo! What did you find?" Jasper's eyes suddenly came up to mine he looked concerned.

"I don't understand it, it doesn't make sense." Okay, I was starting to get pissed he was being vague and not telling me anything.

"Give me a moment. I need to check something." He went around and started typing furiously on his computer.

I really didn't want to. He knew something I didn't. It didn't matter though because my phone started ringing. I looked down at it and it was Laurent again.

"Cullen."

"We have a situation boss." His tone was serious and he was whispering. I could definitely hear some gunshots in the back ground.

"L?" It had been quiet for too long.

"Sorry, Me and S was dealing with some Quileute trash." Quileute? That meant.. oh no. Bella!

"Black?" I was trying to remain calm but inside I was raging I started pacing which in turn got Em's attention. Jasper on the other hand was still furiously typing away.

"Haven't seen him." I put my phone on speaker. "Tell me"

"Me and S was patrolling the bottom floor, heard the back door creak open next thing I know 3 guys come in guns shooting. The door was locked boss, I swear I checked it. Someone let them in they came in too quiet. While me and S was dealing with those guys, 2 more came in and headed for the stairs. B was on the top floor with Z but I haven't seen him."

Laurent was being vague with details. Why hadn't he told us about the girls yet? Or did he even know?

"I'm not 100% but we may have a rat among us boss."

That made sense but who was it, both Em and Jasper were staring at me now wanting to know what I wanted to know. L was being careful of his words about them because he didn't know who may be listening. Which was why the girls had codenames in an event for situations like this and to be used other times but if there was in fact a rat then the codename situation would be useless.

"What's the situation with the ladies?" I started making my way to Jasper's driveway where Emmett's Range Rover was. Emmett quickly running to the driver's side while Jasper piled in the back with is laptop and papers. I got into the passenger side and we took off.

There was this feeling in my chest, not knowing what was going on and an terrified feeling as well? Something I hadn't felt before.

"Do not know at this time." Shit. " Wait. Boss Z is calling me will call you back." He then hung up.

"Shit!" Emmett yelled banging his hand on the wheel.

"If there is a rat, who could it be? L said he checked all doors." It couldn't be Laurent could it? Laurent had been my guard for years. He was like a brother to me. But, he seemed the most likely suspect. He knew where Bella was, he had been guarding her, he knew what was going on today. He was the first person I informed after I set everything up. If he was working with Black, oh there would be hell to pay.

It's Zafrina." Emmett said bringing me out of my thoughts. I quickly looked at him. "It has to be. She's new everyone else that went today with them they have been in this family a long time and we never had problems." Emmett had a point but since I only requested Zafrina this morning, it seemed unlikely that she could have planned all of this morning? To my knowledge, she didn't even know where they were going until she came to get Bella. I wouldn't put anything past anyone but right now but she seemed the least likely suspect.

"You're wrong Emmett." Jasper said from the backseat. For a moment I forgot he was back there. I heard him typing. I turned in my seat.

"What the hell? You going to tell me what the fuck has you so focused?"

"Yes, when I can get access to some more information, shouldn't be much longer now. Don't want to give you half answers boss" He knew what I wanted and I didn't like waiting.

"Well, at least tell me why you know it isn't Zafrina." I was shaking in my seat, pissed because I didn't know what was going on. This feeling in my chest was getting worse.

"Well, because everything points to my wife at the moment." WHAT THE FUCK?!

Both Emmett and I turned to look at him before Em hit the brakes almost hitting the car in front of us.

"Watch the road moron!" We were coming up on downtown.

"What the fuck Jasper! Alice?" Emmett shouted

"It can't be Alice." It just couldn't be.

"I know it's not but I don't have all the answers yet." Jasper was looking frustrated. I know he was having trouble stayed focused because he was worried about Alice. Even though he hadn't voiced his opinion I could tell. He wasn't the only one that's for sure. I was frustrated as well. Not knowing if we were too late. I didn't know if Black was there. If Bella was safe. The feeling in my chest getting worse.

I dialed Bella. It rang and rang. No answer. I didn't even know if she had her phone on her.

My phone rang. I quickly looked down at it. Laurent. I quickly answered putting it on speaker.

"Go." All I could hear was my heartbeat in my ears pounding. I could feel it in my chest.

"Just got off the phone with Z. Beauty is passed out." Emmett jerked the car almost hitting the car beside him.

"What the fuck? Why?" Emmett screamed

"Z believes they have been drugged. It isn't confirmed. But all 3 of them have drank some tea. The princess and B are sick but still awake as of right now." Drugged? What the fuck? Whoever did this they planned it. One of the workers?

"Boss, me and S gunna find these other 2 guys and take care of them."

"Were on our way."

"Understood."

He hung up and I just stared at my phone. I knew I should have stuck to my guns and made Bella stay home. This is all my fault. I turned back to Jasper.

"Tell me now! I'm tired of waiting." My blood was boiling I was pissed because all the girls were poisoned. The traffic was horrible. We weren't getting any closer to our destination. I wanted to hit something, shoot something.

"Someone access Alice's accounts moved a large sum into another account in her name. I don't know how the new account was opened but it wasn't done legally. The new account was opened two days ago. Whoever did it made it look like Alice did it and that's what I cant figure out. It literally looks like she did it. I know it wasn't her but I can't prove it wasn't." He was hitting the keys furiously. I agreed with him I knew it wasn't Alice. My sister would never do something like this. I agreed she had resources to pull it off but not Alice. Someone who had access to her cards, someone close to her. Someone..

"Benji" I said slowly. It made sense. Even Laurent had said he hadn't seen Benji around since the gunmen came in.

Jasper stopped typing and looked at me and nodded his head. It was the only logical explanation.

I then dialed Bella. No answer. Kept dialing. I noticed Emmett had kept calling someone as well. Maybe Sam? Since Rosalie was out.

"It can't be Benji." Emmett shook his head "It just can't be. He's been with us for years. Been protecting Alice for a while. It just doesn't make sense for it to be him."

"He had every opportunity to get access to her account. It's not like he doesn't know where things are in the house. He's in our home during the day with Alice. Alice trusts him she wouldn't have been suspicious . I wouldn't have saw it until much later, if we hadn't been pouring over all this stuff. I knew my wife hadn't opened another account. Jasper said furiously.

"Aren't you supposed to be keeping an eye on everything?" That was his fucking job.

He nodded.

"Oh come on, Ed. It was Alice's account. He's probably used to Alice spending buttloads of money a day it probably slipped past him."

Emmett had a point, Alice shopped. Benji knew she shopped. It was too perfect just to casually open another account. Jasper wouldn't see it at first until later. I mean if we hadn't been looking over files he may not have found it this soon.

My phone started ringing again. Figuring it was Laurent. I looked at the screen and my heart started beating loudly in my chest. Bella's name flashed.

"Bella?" I could hear breathing but she didn't talk. Was it her? Or had someone gotten her phone?

"Bella?" I said it louder this time.

"Edward." My heart beat had calmed down some since she answered. That feeling in my chest going away some.

"Oh, thank God Bella. Are you okay? I knew she wasn't but I had to know. I had to keep her talking. I had to keep this feeling in my chest away.

"No, I'm about to pass out. They drugged us." Damn it. This wasn't good. I decided to try to keep her talking.

"We know Laurent told us we are on our way. Are you safe?" I put the phone on speaker. I could tell both Em and Jazz was getting agitated not knowing what was going on.

"No Edward its Benji. He's trying to knock the door down."

"Benji?" I let out what I could only describe as a snarl. Emmett stated cussing. Bella has confirmed it. Someone who we trusted was the rat.

"Yes he's not alone. I think Zafrina is dead. I don't know where Sam or Laurent is." I looked at the road. I could see the Spa from the distance we were almost there. Was Black with him?

"Edward, I'm about to pass out please hurry." The ache in my chest started getting worse again. I had put her in danger. This was my fault. I was getting mad because we were so close yet so far away.

"Bella baby hang on. GO faster!" I yelled at Emmett.

"Edward, Thank you for all that you've done for me. I really do car.." Oh God. Did she pass out?

"Sshh baby it's okay hang on." We were almost there. I could literally see the parking lot.

I was met with silence. "Bella?" Emmett looked at me concerned. "Bella?" I heard two male voices in the background. Oh God no.

"Cullen?" A gruff voice spoke. I knew it.

"Benji you bastard."

"They are ours Cullen." The call ended just as Em pulled in. I made sure my gun was loaded as Emmett did as well.

"I texted for back-up. Should be here soon. Since we don't know the situation inside." Jasper said as he got his gun out of his pocket."

"Whoa where the hell do you think your going?" Jasper may be able to shoot a gun, but he wasn't a killer. He hadn't been trained like Em and I. He was my security/tech guy any killing was left to us.

"My wife, your sister is in there. I'm going."

"No the fuck you're not. That's an order." You will stay near the door so we can get in touch with you. You will get the survivors to the car. That's your job today. No time are you allowed to go into that building until I say so."

"Fine." He didn't agree.

I glanced around noticing a camera lining the building across the street. Shit.

I stood close to Jasper. Our noses almost touching. "There's a camera across the street, see if you can hack it and scrub the footage." Jasper nodded.

I looked at Emmett to see if we were both ready, he nodded and we approached the back door that had been left ajar.

I knew there were 2 floors, Laurent was sure 5 men had entered. No one was outside, so they obviously didn't come prepared. They could have back-up coming. I was glad Jasper had called for back-up. I didn't think Jasper was incapable of defending himself, but not so many at once.

I was also aware the cops hadn't been called. I don't know if I should be happy or angry. Happy because we could handle this as seen fit or angry because if they weren't called then someone had bought them off.

Em and I slowly made our way around the corner seeing two men laying there. I stood guard while Emmett leaned down to check them. It was definitely Black's men. Shit. I really need to find Bella.

We continued to walk until I saw more blood. This time it was 3 of the spa workers, 2 of them had been shot in the head. The other looked like she had been put in the shredder. Clothes had been ripped to hell, hair was every other way, and she was covered in blood.

Both Em and I shared a look, whoever done this was a sadist. The way Bella had talked about Black, this had to be his work. We kept walking until we reached the lobby where another one of Black's men laid. I could definitely tell he was dead without checking the bullet wound in the center of his head. Laurent was a pretty good marksmen this was definitely him. I also noticed the guns had silencers on them. So maybe no one had heard anything then.

"3." Em whispered

"L was sure there was 5, but there could be more we don't know about." I whispered back.

I then looked and saw this place had a camera facing the front door from the reception desk. Shit. I pulled my phone out and texted Jasper and told him. He quickly texted back saying he take care of it when it was all clear and that my back up crew was minutes away.

I then looked down the main hallway that eventually led to some stairs. That was my destination but first I had to clear the rooms along this hallway before going up to the second floor.

We started with each room, it was too quiet. What if they had already left? What if they had killed both Laurent and Sam and took the girls and left? I had to quit thinking like that. I hadn't seen Laurent or Sam yet. So I had to think they were still breathing at this point. I had to also believe the girls were still here. What the Fuck? I was Edward Cullen, why was I having trouble staying focused? Because Bella and Alice were somewhere in this building be held by one of my former men who had been trained almost as well as I had. Also a sadist wanted her and he may also be here.

When we entered the room near the stairs, I heard the sound of a gun cocking. I quickly aimed mine and met the eyes of my bodyguard. He quickly put his gun down.

"Boss." He whispered. I nodded. I lowered my gun and took in my surroundings. There was some blood near Laurent. I quickly looked around him and that's when I saw it. Sam was laying down near some massage table. It looked like he was holding a robe to his side or it was a robe it was covered in blood now.

"He's been in and out of it. There's a guy guarding the door at the top, he got the jump on Sam shot him in the side while we was making our way down the hall. I was taking care of that guy. I was about to make my way up until I heard you guys."

He points to a body on the other side of the room. I took a quick glance at him before I looked at Sam. He was very pale and sweating. We needed to get him to a doctor fast. If not, he be dead soon.

"Anything new?" I needed to know if there was any new information before I went upstairs. If there were any new men added. On the phone, Laurent said he was sure there were 5 guys. We had four down confirmed.

" I was wrong on the count, there is six guys. There was one that went into the room up there. He hasn't come out. The other is guarding the door or he was until I heard him enter as well. There could be more but I haven't seen any, I also can't get a hold of Z or B."

Emmett snorted. " B is a rat." Laurent quickly looked at Em. "I had a feeling when I hadn't seen him in a while."

That's when I heard it, that pop pop sound. We all looked at each other, all of us knew what that sound was. Em and I quickly left the room, and glanced up the hallway. Laurent behind us.

He then walked in front of me, and up the stairs. I had to smirk, because Laurent had some big balls. He was also doing his job, he was my bodyguard.

When we reached the top I saw a body lying there. Looked like he had been shot in the chest. Laurent gave me a look to confirm this was the guy that had shot Sam. We then heard some trashing around, Laurent looked in and his eyes were wide as saucers. He then quickly composed himself. I then looked In to see what he saw and realized why he had become shocked.

Bella had a gun aimed right at some dude's head. Whose back was to us. I noticed Benji's back was to us as well. Bella swayed, and my heart started beating in my chest. She wasn't focused, her eyes were glassy. Shit for a moment I forgot she had been drugged.

"I wont go back!" She shouted. "He won't hurt me anymore! She sounded brave but I could see Benji starting to make a move towards her. She didn't see him her eyes trained fully on the man in front of her. She took the shot at him right as she seen me. Benji lunged for her. I sprang into action, not caring at that point if I was shot or not. I went after Benji, while seeing someone moving out of the corner of my eye. Zafrina. Before he smacked into Bella, She jumped out and attacked him. I noticed Laurent had started binding the guy Bella had shot he was still moving.

I went for Bella, she looked like she was seconds away from passing out. I grabbed her in my arms right when she fell.

"I've got you now, you're safe." She cried out but her eyes remained closed.

I took a quick look around Emmett had Benji now. It looked like Zafrina, was having trouble standing. Laurent had the other guy, I quickly laid Bella down and went to him. She had shot him in the shoulder. It wasn't Black, but that didn't mean he wasn't here or if there were any other men in the building.

Laurent saw me approach and quickly faced the guy towards me.

"are you alone?" He started laughing. He then spit at me. I punched him in the face and told Laurent to get him out of my sight. I then heard a noise coming from downstairs. I went to the door, I saw a man turn the corner and quickly go back. I aimed. I was ready. I knew the room we currently were in was secure. I had heard Emmett move towards the other end. I knew it was him because of the way his weight shifted.

I heard him whisper " Rose and Alice." Good. All the girls were together. Now, all we had to do was get out of here. I glanced back down and heard a familiar voice shout "Sun" I put my gun down but still had it out when I yelled back "Rise" Only four people knew that code. Em, Laurent, Me , and James.

James came out and made his way up the stairs, yelling behind him. Seth and three more of my father's men came out behind him. Shit. That meant dad knew.

"Secure?" James said as he reached me.

"So far. Have them check the rest of the building. Sam is on the bottom floor we need to get him some medical attention."

He looked back and nodded his head heard him barking orders to Seth and one other guy to check the upper floor and the other guy to get Sam to the doc.

"So, anyone going to tell me why Benji is tied up and gagged." I looked at Benji he had what looked like a towel wrapped around his mouth. I then turned to Laurent.

"Mr. Cullen was tired of hearing him talk." Laurent was talking about Emmett.

"He's a rat." I just said when James gasped in shock.

Speaking of Emmett, I went to find him. He was in the bathroom that was connected to the room. He had Rosalie in his arms while he stared at Alice. I quickly averted my gaze, her robe had been pulled apart, her breasts on display.

"She's breathing. Both of them." Thank God. I looked behind me and noticed Bella was awake now. Zafrina beside her who looked bad.

She was safe. That feeling in my chest had gone. It was gone because I knew she was safe. Despite her shaking like a leaf right now.

I wanted to go to her, take her in my arms, but I couldn't not yet. I couldn't let anyone see me weak. I couldn't let anyone see how that much that woman had affected me. I heard Seth yell secure and I went right back into boss mode.

"Get those 2 to the warehouse." I pointed towards Benji and the guy whose name I didn't know. I looked at Seth and Peter who had been with us for a while. "Right boss." Seth walked in and went to the guy whose name I didn't know.

"Didn't know you was Cullen's bitch." He sneered at Seth. That's when I remembered Seth would know him.

" At least, I'm not Jacob's Jared."

Jared. So this bastard had a name.

Seth kicked him in the stomach and then pulled him up when I heard a gasp coming from behind me. Seth heard it too, because he was looking at the person behind me with a guilty look. I looked behind me and Bella was staring at him with a shocked and angry look.

"Seth?"
"Bella."
"All this time? You been working for Edward?" She jumped up. What the fuck? I remember her getting this angry the first night she was at my house. She had been drugged right? How could she be so aware right now?
"Not the whole time Bella." Bella went towards him and I quickly grabbed her by the waist.

'Whoa, settle down." I looked at her she had tears flowing down her cheeks. I knew Seth didn't want Bella to know but it would eventually be avoidable Bella was to be my wife and Seth was quickly moving up the ranks. She would have found out sooner or later. I then looked at Seth who seemed reluctant to leave but I gave him my cold hard stare. He and Peter took those two fuckers out.

I looked at James. "Call you're clean-up crew. Stay and make sure they get all evidence of us up here." He nodded and pulled his phone off. I then looked at Emmett. "Call Jasper tell him its safe and we need him to come in." I then turned toward Laurent, "Call the doc tell him to meet us at my house. Tell him we have 3 drugged women, and a gunshot victim.

Laurent nodded and called. I looked back at Bella who was going limp in my arms. She was awake but she couldn't stand on her own. I sat her down in a nearby chair.

I then looked toward the bathroom, I needed to cover Alice up Jasper didn't need to see her like that. It also didn't occur to me until that moment something may have happened to her sexually.

"Edward, let me do it." Bella rose with my help and went to Alice, pulling the straps of her robe together and tying the sash. She then sat beside Alice and put her head in her lap.

"Did they?" I asked Bella. Hoping she would know what I was talking about.

"No, I don't think so. He was about too though until I woke up. I heard them talking, they wanted to have some fun." Bella sneered but kept her gaze on Alice and making glances at Rosalie.

"Are you okay?" Bella quickly looked at me Fuck it. I had to know.

"Better now." She said and kept her gaze on me.

I looked at Bella, amazed at how strong and brave she was. Never did I think she could be this brave. She then looked away.

I then looked at Emmett. He had his gaze focused on Rose's face. He truly loved her, you could tell. I then heard a loud noise coming up the stairs. It was Jasper. His eyes wild. He looked at me, and then came into the bathroom and quickly went to Alice's side. Breathing in relief when he felt her pulse.

Bella had moved to the side, Jasper was freely crying now. "You're okay." Your okay." He kept repeating over and over. I noticed Bella had started crying as well while she stared at Jasper. In that moment, I wanted to gather Bella in my arms, tell her she had nothing to fear. But I couldn't, I couldn't let them see anything that would show weakness.

"Boss." Laurent called out from behind me.

"Louie had rerouted to your place with Sam and the doc. I told them to go to the pool house for now. I also dismissed Jessica, Ms. Cope, and Mike from their duties. The only ones on the grounds are your men. James and I checked everything is good outside. James backed Mr. Cullen's car up to the back door. He said the crew will be here as soon as it gets dark."

"Good." I looked back at Bella, but not before I saw a figure in the corner of the bathroom. It was a body. I went over and got a good look it was Macy. Oh no.

I looked at Jasper and Emmett. "Let's get them to my place." Jasper and Emmett picked up there women and that's when I realized something."

"Jasper." He turned back with Alice in his arms. "You gotta wipe the footage. Destroy it."

Jasper seemed reluctant but he knew he had a job to do. "Fine. Let me load Alice up and I'll be back." Laurent went to grab Zafrina, she had lost a lot of blood. She was hit in the shoulder, but was still awake but she needed help. Emmett followed Laurent out and I looked at Bella.

"Ready?" I asked her she had her eyes closed. She opened them as soon as she heard my voice.

She nodded her head. I picked her up bridal style. She laid her head in the crook of my shoulder and shut her eyes again.

We made our way down the stairs and I was met with James.

"Boss, I have an idea."

"Not now." I needed to get Bella to the car.

I had made it to the back door when Jasper walked in. I know he was pissed. But like I said he was my best tech guy. I needed him to get rid of any evidence of the girls being here of us being here.

I walked outside where Emmett was in the driver's seat of his car, Rose was in the back while Alice was laying down in the storage area.

I sat Bella in the passenger seat. I looked at Emmett.

"Go straight to my place, the doc is on his way."

"You're not coming?" Emmett shouted.

"I'll be there soon. Make sure the girls are safe." I looked at Bella who looked like she had fallen asleep. I touched her face and quickly backed away. Emmett drove fast out of the parking lot. I waved at Laurent who was in his car and Zafrina in the back to follow. He nodded and he quickly followed.

I quickly looked around the sun had started to set, I then noticed Rosalie and Alice's car was sitting in the parking lot. Shit. I needed to ask Jasper about the CCTV footage.

I went into the Spa and James had started gather the men up. He then noticed me.

"Boss, found the ladies things on the top floor. I brought their Purses and keys and clothes and sat it down there. When my men get here, we are going to do a quick wipe and make sure no one knows they were here." I nodded.

"What's your plan?"

He grinned but I just wanted him to get it out. " We blame all of this on Black." I nodded for him to continue.

"Well, I noticed, some of these men have the Quileute tattoo. That's a connection to Black. The cops are aware of the tattoo. Could put two and two together and blame him for all of this."

I didn't know if I liked the sound of this idea, I didn't really want the cops to get involved. I also wanted Black to myself. If the cops got him, I wouldn't.

"No." Black was mine.

"Alright. Gotcha, my guys should be here soon." He then quickly got back to work.

I made my way upstairs to the office. Jasper was on the computer, typing away.

"It's done." Jasper finished. "I wiped all footage from today."

"What about outside?"

"The cctv footage is on a looped image a few hours before the girls came here. It'll go back live in a few hours. No one will know they were here unless someone was physically watching this area. Since it's not an area of interest and there is no police interference I would say we are safe."

"Good work."

He nodded back. I could tell he was angry.

"She'll be fine." I said softly. He nodded.

"No one will know there here. I even destroyed Macy's phone just in case."

I had called her from a burner, so I wasn't worried about that.

"Did she have any family?" I asked Jasper, he would probably know Alice knew Macy.

"No, she had no one." I wondered if the workers downstairs had any family. But, then I realized it didn't matter. No one would know where their bodies were they would disappear.

" The workers had no one as well." Jasper said he knew we had to get rid of all the bodies.

I nodded. It was sad some innocent people lost their lives today but it had to be this way.

" I spoke with Laurent after I checked in the clock time records, he said there was only 3 on staff today. So everyone here is accounted for. I nodded.

"The girls things are downstairs, take them with you. The others are at my house." He nodded and left.

I made my way downstairs and noticed James' clean up crew arrived. They had made fast work of the bodies keeping them in a pile and the bottom floor didn't even look like it had been covered with blood moments ago.

"Locked up the front, we'll move these bodies out as soon as it gets a bit darker."

I looked at the workers' bodies. James had them neatly placed while Black's men was in a pile.

"They get separate graves." James nodded.

"Here catch." He threw me some keys. "Jasper said you would need a way back. He took Alice's" I caught the keys that had some big keychain on them it was like a fluffyball. "He also told me to tell you he found Bella's destroyed phone in the bathroom. He burned the rest of it just in case."

I nodded and told him to call him as soon as the bodies were gone. He said will do and then ask me about the building. I knew I made Jasper wipe the footage, but that was just a precaution.

"Make it look like an electrical fire." He nodded and grinned rubbing his hands together.

I then made my way out and noticed James' car and a suv that had pulled up to the back entrance. I clicked the unlock button on the key and saw the BMW in the corner light up of course I would get Rosalie's car. I got in the driver's seat and made my way to my home.

JACOB POV

"Shit! Fucking Cullen!" I had been trying to reach Jared for awhile now. I wanted to know if he had got her. I hadn't heard from him, so that meant one thing he was dead or had been captured. My "friend" who had me working with him assured me his insider would get the job done. I was skeptical but so far he had delivered on all his promises. I had been pushing the drugs out working to the bone. He had one of his sons' come down and make sure I stayed on it. He was this skinny fucker. I still didn't know who the main guy was but I was no one's bitch.

I tried to call Jared again. No answer. Shit. I wanted an update. I wonder if the big guy knew anything? The big guy called me every time, from a different number so I had no way of getting in touch with him. I was so pissed. There was only one way I was going to get over this frustration. "Leah!" I made my way to her room unbuckling my pants along the way. She was ready for me. I stuck my cock in her pussy. Yes, this would work for now.

Edward's POV

I parked Rose's car and headed to my front door. It was quiet. I assumed everyone was on the second floor. I met Laurent at my bedroom door. He nodded his head at me. He had dragged a chair from down the hall and was sitting in it. That's when I fully looked at him, he was exhausted. He also looked like he had some bruises on his face.

"Update?"

"I put Ms. Swan in your room. She was asleep when I did not sure now. The doc came in, he took their vitals. Wants them to pee in a cup when they wake up." I gave him a curious glance.

He held his hands up. "He thinks they were given a date rape drug. Said it would have traces in urine. He said they probably wouldn't remember much when they woke. I told him what Ms. Swan did, how she had been awake in and out. He said she may not have had enough of the drug as the other two did. He said to come get him if there was any problems. But for now they should be fine."

"Where is he now?"

"Pool house. Trying to get the bullet out of Sam's side. Louie and Peter are with him. Zafrina is also there her bullet wound was clean through. She just needed some blood. She's resting. She does have some fractured ribs and bruises but she should be fine. She physically fought Benji."

"I noticed him limping earlier with blood coming out of his leg, she got a shot in too."

"That wasn't her." I looked at Laurent confused "It was Miss. Swan."

What? I couldn't keep the shocked look off of my face. Laurent grinned and looked proud?

"Yes, Zafrina told me on the way over, I was trying to keep her talking to stay awake. She had a feeling it was Benji. She called him out on it which led to the fight. "

Wow. Her instincts were strong.

"Laurent when I get back, I want you to go home and get some rest." Laurent looked like he was about to drop. But, I knew after I checked on Bella and the others I was going to the warehouse and needed him to stay just a bit longer.

"Boss, I need to apologiz-."

"Stop. There is no need. You did everything right. All of you. You protected her to the best of your ability." I didn't know why I was being so nice. Maybe because everyone there today had been affected and it was my fault.

Laurent wanted to disagree but he didn't he nodded his head.

"I'm going to make me a sandwich. Let me know when you're going to leave and I'll come back up here." He started to make his way to the stairs.

"A sandwich?" I smirked at him

"Don't tell Ms. Cope." He then went down the stairs

I opened my bedroom door. Bella was sitting on the side facing the balcony. She was still wearing the robe from the spa. It was covered in blood in some places. I quickly made my way to her. She was staring out, I don't even know if she knew I was there. Her eyes were red. She had tears falling down her face. Her robe had come untied and I saw blood on her skin.

"Bella?" She blinked. I noticed she was shriving. I pulled the robe together and that's when she noticed me.

"Edward?" She said it like she was confused. She started to cry more. She was still shaking I reached down to her and quickly recoiled. She was like ice.

I went into the bathroom and turned the water on. A shower would warm her up. I went back into the bedroom. She hadn't moved from her spot but she was watching me.

"Come on, let's get you warmed up." I helped her up and we made our way to the shower. She looked out of it like she wasn't there in body. Her mind far off somewhere.

"Here we are." I sat her down on the side of the tub to check the water in the shower. It was warm. I grabbed her a towel and washrag and sat it on the warming rack.

"I'll just be out here yell if you need anything." I was about to walk out when I heard her tiny voice.

"Don't leave."

I turned around and shut the door leading to my bedroom. She took the robe off and was in her bra and panties. Her hands trembling, She was trying to reach for the back of her bra but was having trouble.

"Here let me." I quickly went to her, and helped her take it off. She quickly turned around but was still shaking and crying.

"Bella, I can go. I'll be right outside. I promise."

She shook her head no and jumped in the shower. I don't even know if she realized her underwear was still on. She still seemed like she was worlds away. I fully looked at her, now that she had turned. She was beautiful, not that she wasn't before. I don't know but in that moment I realized I would do anything for this woman.

She started swaying in the shower and that's when I realized the adrenaline probably had worn off and which is why she was shaking now. I don't know why I didn't think she be in shock. I went to her taking my clothes off, leaving my boxers on. I didn't want to spook her, I didn't know how she reacted to that. I got in the shower with her, I don't even know if she knew I was there.

I grabbed my shampoo and started washing her hair. When I was done I put her under the water. When I was done I grabbed the washrag, and began washing her. I avoided her breasts, but I did scrub where the dried blood had gathered. When I was done, I put the rag down. I wasn't going to wash her private area but I was going to help her out of her underwear so she could. I got down on my knees. I put my thumbs on the sides and started pulling them down had them almost to her most private area when I saw it.

I think Bella realized it too, She was suddenly brought out of her zombielike state and quickly turned from me shouting no no no.

But I did see it.

There right above her mound was the letters "JB" burned into her skin.

Oh God. No wonder she was so afraid of him.

She had fell to the shower floor and was whimpering curled in a ball full on crying now.

I went to her and gathered her in my arms. She tried to fight me off but her attempts were futile.

"I'm here. It's okay." I rubbed her shoulders.

"He- He.. Oh my god." She was shaking so badly at this point.

"It's okay." We stayed sitting there for a while, the water falling on us. I didn't realize that some time passed when I noticed Bella was shaking as much as before. During that whole time, I was planning on all the different ways I could torture and murder Jacob Black. I was full of rage. How! How could he do this? How could anyone do this to her?

I reached up and turn the water off. I got out of the shower carrying Bella, I wrapped the towel around her and carried her to the bedroom.

I sat her on the bed and went to the dresser that held her clothes. Jessica had been moving her things in here, not everything was in here but she didn't have some things. I grabbed some underwear and some of her Pj's that I had seen her wear the first few days she had been here.

I went to my drawer to get me some clothes when she spoke for the first time.

"He drugged me one night." She said much calmer but the tears were still pouring out.

I looked at her. Never wanting to take my eyes off of her.

"It wasn't a very effective drug I woke up in the middle of him doing this." She pointed to where the mark was. That sadist motherfucker.

"Paul and Jared was with him holding me down, all I could do was scream."

She wiped away her tears. " He told me I was his. I would always be his and anyone else who thought otherwise would see."

"No." She ignored me.

"He used to drag me in front of a mirror and pinch my belly fat. He would tell me how gross I was. If I talked back, he would slam me down on the hood of the car. He punched me in the face once."

He was going to die soon. Very soon.

"He would say such vile things, about he couldn't wait to wear my virgin blood on his cock. He was going to fuck me in every hole that I had."

Motherfucker. I wanted to kill him. The rage in me wouldn't ease until he was dead.

"I used to be independent, said what was on my mind. He slammed me on the car because I told him I didn't want to marry him. He made me afraid of my shadow. He turned me into nothing." She let out a cry.

I went to her took her in my arms.

"Don't you see? I'm disgusting. I'm damaged." No. She let out a cry.

"No. Bella look at me." She had looked away but I brought her face to mine. Our noses touching.

"He didn't do that, Your still you. I've seen you remember all the times you've been mad at me? You said what was on your mind. You're still you."

She smiled but I don't know if it was a real one.

"And.. You're not damaged, nor disgusting. Your beautiful. Your everything to me."

"Oh Edward." I crashed my lips to hers and gave her a deep kiss. She returned it. I pulled away and leaned my hand against hers.

"You're everything."

Moments later, I was curled up beside Bella. She had went to sleep for which I hope for a while. Her body definitely needed rest. She also told me right before she went to sleep that she was the one that killed the guard in the office. She said she was aiming for Jared because she knew he was there to take her back to Jacob. He moved and she hit the guard in the chest. The gun she had was out of bullets so she just started attacking Jared. It was stupid but I wasn't going to tell her that. I had to admit I was proud of her even if what she did was foolish. I asked her where she learned to shoot a gun she told me her mom taught her before she died. She had also told me it was Benji who messed with Alice, but she was pretty positive he didn't get far. She heard him talking about he couldn't wait to fuck her and stuff. He would pay as well.

I heard a knock on the door. I got up slowly being careful not to wake Bella. "Yeah?" I called from the other side.

"It's me Ed." Emmett. "We need to talk."

"Give me a minute." I put on some new clothes and put my phone and wallet in my pocket. I went to Bella and gave her a peck on her forehead. I then went to the door and quietly left.

Emmett and Jasper were standing outside. I signaled to them to meet me downstairs.

We walked down where I saw Laurent cleaning up his mess in the kitchen.

"What? Are the girls okay?" I looked back and forth between them.

"Yeah, they are still asleep. Dad has been trying to get in touch with you."

I then pulled my phone out and saw I had 5 missed calls from dad Shit.

"I forgot it was on slient."

" I gave him a quick rundown, he is meeting us at the warehouse." Em said

I nodded my head. We did need to get there, I needed some answers. I needed to hurry and beat him there before he killed them before I got my answers. I looked at Jasper

"You and Laurent stay here with the girls. Bella is asleep, but if she wakes up tell her I'll be back soon." Laurent then made his way into the room

"Call the staff tell them not to come in tomorrow, Keeping checking on the others in the pool house as well. No one is allowed to leave or come in after I leave or you get the go ahead from me. Tell the guard no one is allowed in here."

"Will do boss, by the way the Jeweler called, he was downtown at the penthouse building, waiting for someone to let him up. I told him to go home and that you would give him a call tomorrow."

Crap. I forgot about meeting the jeweler. I told him to meet at my penthouse as I only wanted a limited amount to know about my house.

I nodded. I looked at Em.

"Ready?"

" Yes."

We walked out of my house and got into Em's range rover and took off to the warehouse.
