Chapter 3

BPOV

Ugh. I hate headaches. And this is the worst headache I have ever suffered through. The confusion is making it worse. Just who the hell are these people and where the hell am I?

The doctor is assuring me that I'm okay. I quietly took stock of my body and confirmed that I have control of all my limbs and nothing seems to be broken. Except my head. I can't believe what the hot blonde standing on the doorway is asking me. Why am I in Atlantic City? Am I going to gamble my savings to pay for my parent's debt? Oh god. My parents are gone.

Don't think about it Bella.

I don't think I'll gamble. I was never lucky with that. And why would I? I can just get money using my laptop. Yes, a solution. Where is my laptop?

I am distracted once again by the doctor's questions. Some of them are fine, like my name. Although they should have asked me that first. I guess logic is not one of their strong points, since they should have brought me to a hospital instead of their house. A pity, really, since they all look so pretty. There is the nice barbie girl and the quiet teddy bear at the left side of my bed and the dilf doctor on my right. There are also the two blonde gods at the foot of my bed.

After some random questions like the name of the president (wtf right? Don't they read the news?), the doctor calmly told me that today is March 26, 2018.

What the hell?

Perfect. Amnesia, really? How fucking clichè can you get? Next thing I know I'm really a secret agent planted in a mafia family. God, I watch too much TV.

Blondie barbie must have felt that I need space to digest everything that's happened. Plus I still have this freaking headache to deal with. She made quick introductions, saying her name's Rosalie but to call her Rose. The big bear of a man is her husband Emmett. Dr. Carlisle Cullen. And her older brothers Peter and Jasper.

Jasper. His name tickled something at the back of my mind but I just can't put a finger on it. Maybe its because he is the hottest man I've seen? Whatever Bella, now's not the time for that. You have other things to worry about, like the missing 8 years of your life.

Its a relief when they left me alone and I can finally let myself relax.

What do I do now?

Lucky my brain works fast. I'm also lucky that Emmett is the person who caused my accident. Don't get me wrong, I prefer to never have been in an accident in the first place but at least he and his wife is nice enough to take me in and take care of me. If its anybody else, they would have dumped my amnesiac ass in a hospital and leave me there. And then I'll be in a worse position that I am now. I'm suddenly 8 years older than I thought I am, I'm broke (I think), and I don't have any friends (I'm sure).

Its quite a shocking experience to look in a mirror for the first time when you have amnesia. Sure when I was 19 I wanted to be a couple of years older to legally go to a bar and get a drink for myself. I know I have a fake ID (who doesn't?) But its still thrilling to present your own ID. But now, I am much more older than I would like. I am a proper adult. Do I have a good job? Friends? Boyfriend? God I hope my wish boyfriend is not worrying about me.

Rose is kind enough to let me stay. She is actually insisting that I stay. It looks like she is lonely living in a big house surrounded by men. She said that it will do me good to be with others and she will help me catch up with things that I have forgotten. Its a win-win for the both of us. Surprisingly, Rose is not too girly at all and she loves tinkering with cars most of the time. This gave me time to catch up on what I miss in the world of computers and she even let me tinker on a couple of laptops they have at home.

After a couple of weeks of staying in with Rose, I'm getting impatient and suffering from cabin fever. Rose mentioned that Emmett is working as security in a casino and I remember the last job I have is being a bartender. I asked him if he can see if they have an opening for a bartender in their casino and he said he'd check. He asked Carlisle first if I'm fit to work and with the doctor's go signal, Emmett brought me to Eclipse.

It is very posh. Certainly a few steps upgrade from the bar where I worked. Good thing I didn't forget how to be a bartender.

A couple of weeks after the accident, Emmett asked me if he can place Bella in the casino's bar since she wants to work.

"Why here? There are other places she can work, Emmett. This place is legit and I won't have you ruin the standards I set up for this place."

"I want to regularly check in on her so she won't get in trouble. She still can't remember Jasper."

I concede that it is better to place her where we can monitor her closely.

"Have Seth run a deeper check on her before I hire her. She better be spotless, Emmett."

"Thanks, man."

I ordered a closer monitoring of the girl once she's hired. I tried to stay away as far as I can because I can't deny that she is very attractive and I don't want my judgement to be cloudy when it comes to women.

A couple of weeks in and so far so good. As per the reports I'm getting, she is quite good at her job. Fast on her feet and good with customers.

I'm busy with paperwork with various deals closing in and I'm spending more time at the office. I'm especially grouchy today since I have been staying late for the past week and these paperwork seems endless.

Once again, Peter burst into my office with a worried expression on his face. This can't be good.

"The Irish targeted Rose earlier."

"What? Where is she now?"

"She's safe at home. Emmett's with her."

"Details."

Now that I know Rose is okay, I want to know the specifics. These fuckers dare to cross my family? I'll make them pay. The Irish? They're just small time gangsters trying to make it big in the big boy playground.

"Rose and Bella are shopping with Paul and Embry tailing them. The Irish tried to jump them with 6 men. Now, you know Rose can fight but not as good as our women fighters. Paul immediately pressed his red button for backup and fought them off. Bella surprised everyone when she took down 3 of the men by the time Paul, Embry and Rose took down one each."

"Bella?"

My disbelief is clearly displayed. She is a tiny little thing with a look so innocent you would never have believed it if it is happening in front of you.

"I know, right? I wouldn't believe me either but Paul is swearing up and down that Bella did that. I think the 3 of them are still in shock."

Hmm. Paul is not the type to admit it that a girl bested him. It must have been a sight to see for him to openly admit it to everyone.

Bella Swan just got more interesting. And by interesting I mean suspicious.
