Chapter 23

I burst out crying, immediately thinking that Rosalie had died after she had surgery.

But she wasn't dead, but she may as well be.

"W-why are you crying? I haven't told you what happened yet." Jasper said, looking panicked and not knowing what to do.

I looked up at him, and I sniffed loudly.

"She's dead, right? She died after surgery was done." I said my voice going raw and watery all at once.

Jasper shook his head, "No man, she's not dead. She was checked out of the hospital and moved into a different one. They wouldn't tell us which one though, Alice and Edward were furious when they were turned down."

Shock rumbled through me, followed by anger. "Does dad say anything about this?" I demanded, wiping furiously at useless tears.

Jasper bit his lip and looked guilty as he spoke to me, "Sorry to say this Emmett, but your father is the one who supervised the transfer. Some old woman took control of Rosalie as a guardian, and Carlisle supervised everything as she was transferred to another hospital. That's why Alice and Edward are so angry, because your father took the only person who made you happy in a long time. He wouldn't tell them where he transferred her, I'm sorry man." He said, his eyes dropping.

What he said floored me; my father is the one who took my girl from me? The only girl that I really felt anything for?

Except for that one time, of course.

I gritted my teeth that the thought of the one woman who had truly hurt me. She's only been interested in my money, and then left me when I downsized everything.

What was her name again?

I don't even care enough to remember it now.

The only one who matters is Rosalie.

And my father had some hell to pay.

I glared at Jasper and spat words that burned my mouth from my anger, "You tell my father, to bring his ass down to my room. Tell him if he doesn't come within an hour that the business is going to fall through the cracks as I bring it to ruin. He has one hour to get here, before I destroy what he took so long to make." My eyes glazed over with anger, and Jasper swallowed nervously.

Jasper nodded and left the room, and I lie back, waiting for my prey to wander into my grasp.

Rosalie POV

Everything drifted with an endless black, the swirling made my stomach ache from nausea that was caused from my dizziness.

Blurry flashes of light dotted the distance, but I was trapped…

I can't move—

I can't speak—

I'm so—oh so cold.

I know only one thing is getting me through the pain that bursts in my mouth and random spots on my body.

Emmett, the picture of his smiling face is the only thing keeping me going.

But I want to give up, I really do. I don't want to live without him in my life. And the old lady took me away, so he'll forget about me. If he forgets about me, then I have no reason to be here anymore.

My hearts stops, I flat line.

They try to save me…

But can they this time?
