Innocent Heart

Chapter Four - Challenges of Love

Bella Swan P.O.V

I turned on the light to my new closet and looked out at all my beautiful clothes, just because I was a t-shirt and jeans sort of girl, it didn't mean that I couldn't appreciated fashion. There was plenty for me to choose from, everything was designer with their price tags still on, there wasn't a single thing within this closet that wasn't brand new, probably fresh off a catwalk for all I knew. There was plenty for me to choose from tonight, although if it was up to me, I'd be wearing my favourite jeans from home, but I had no idea where any of my clothes from home had gone. It was strange when I thought about it, I had been given my own staff and thousands of dollars' worth of beautiful clothes, but I wasn't allowed to wear anything from my life before meeting my fiancée.

So, this was going to be my life now, letting go of the life I had back home with my mom and doing whatever was necessary in my new life as the future Mrs Cullen.

I made my way into my bathroom and began to run myself a bath. If I was going to go out tonight then I better go out at least looking like the next Mrs Cullen, I could be her on the outside and keep me on the inside. Besides Edward wasn't going to be bothering with me either way, I knew what I meant to him already and I hadn't even been here a month. Edward had made the worst ever first impression, he had beaten up someone in my apparent honour and he had made me lie for him so that he wouldn't be expelled from school.

I added bath oil, salt and bubble bath to the water before gathering myself some fresh towels.

I got undressed and sank beneath the bubbles I needed to escape and just let the bubbles work their magic. On the small table beside the tub my phone binged. I huffed, I hadn't even been in the bath for a minute and already I was needed for something. What next? How many more lies?

I picked up the phone and took a look at the screen, it was from an unknown number.

I retrieved the message.

Here is my number. Should you ever want to escape. - JB

JB? As in Jacob Black? How on earth did he manage to get my new phone number? I didn't even know my new phone number. It was pretty impressive actually. It seemed not only Edward Cullen held the power around these parts.

I text him back at that.

I'll keep that in mind.

I just couldn't believe that Jacob and Edward were enemies, the two eldest sons of Mafia fathers, I mean you couldn't write this kind of stuff, well you could but who would believe it? Who would believe my story either? A perfectly innocent girl returning to her hometown to marry a stranger and settle for father's debts.

People who would look at my life right now like a fairy tale, all the comforts around me, the new wardrobe and the handsome fiancée, yes, he was handsome, I wasn't blind.

But the reality was a horror show and something told me it was only going to get worse now that I knew of his trouble with Jacob Black. The way they had looked and spoken to the other today had scared me, you could hear a pin drop in that hallway today and just reliving it in my head made me want to be sick. Edward blow from hot to cold so damn fast he was impossible to keep up with and today when Jacob had smiled at me, Edward had become so protective of me, if only I had the strength to tell Jacob about the coffin, maybe he would have pulled a gun on Edward and gotten me out of there.

No, I couldn't risk that, I would need to take this secret to my...grave.

My phone began to ring then, and I quickly dried my hand before retrieving it.

It was Edward!

I answered it quickly not knowing what would happen to me if I dared ignore his call.

"What do you want?" I asked

"I'll keep that in mind?" Edward said

"Huh"

With that the reality hit hard, he had somehow saw the text from Jacob and my response.

"His number is now blocked" Edward broke my train of thought

"You can't do that"

"I can do more if you'd like"

"Oh yeah like what?"

With that said there was a large crashing sound coming from my bedroom.

"Ding dong"
