Previously…

The guards were outside the doors, but I decided to check the security camera just incase. Edward had programed an app on my phone so I could check the camera using my phone.

I wasn't expecting to see that face on the screen.

Rosalie.

What the hell did she want

Chapter 19

BPOV

I took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Hello Rosalie." I said flatly. I didn't bother to smile.

"Hello Bella." She replied with hardly any emotion.

It was quiet for a moment. I guess the nice thing to do would be to invite her in. After all she is Edward's sister-in-law whether we like it or not.

"Would you like to come in?" I asked but still not really sounding enthusiastic.

"Yes." She replied and walked in.

Again it was quiet.

"Is there a particular reason you stopped by?" I asked sounding bored.

"Bella I owe you an apology." Rosalie replied.

I wasn't expecting that.

"Bella, I'm sorry for my behavior the other day. How I acted is inexcusable. I judged you before getting to know you. I've never been welcoming of outsiders. I pitch a fit when Emmett assigns me new guards that I've never had before. But that still doesn't justify how I acted. You were brought into this family so different then how me, Alice, and Esme were. I was afraid of it hurting my family and the unknown consequences. Our family is so different from the rest of the mafia families and I worried that Edward doing what he did would hurt us. But all of that stull doesn't justify the things I said."

Wow. I wasn't expecting this. "It's okay Rosalie I understand that you were wanting to protect your family. I accept your apology."

Rosalie smiled at me, for the first time ever.

"There's more I wanted to say, Bella. I assumed you had a normal past and was just some girl that caught Edward's eye. I didn't realize that we had similar pasts"

What was she talking about?

"Bella, I….I too am a rape survivor." Wait What? "Before I meet Emmett, a prestigious man in my previous community took a liking to me. When I didn't reciprocate the feelings, he cornered me one day. He had followed me home and forced himself into my apartment. He raped and beat me. I was so sure I was going to die. I grew depressed. I later found out I was pregnant by him. Finding out about the baby actually helped pull me out of the depression. Even though Royce was the father, I felt the baby gave me hope. I moved to a different state so I would be away from Royce. A few months past and I ran into Royce one day. He grew angry at me once he realized I was pregnant. I don't know if he realized it was his and hated that I hid it from him or he thought I had been with another man and was jealous. He beat me badly. I somehow managed to get to the hospital, but I had lost the baby. The doctors said I would be fine getting pregnant again, but that didn't lessen the pain. I again moved to another state in fear of Royce. A friend told me she had a contact that could help which then lead me to the mafia. I only wanted help to be free of Royce, I wasn't expecting to fall in love with Emmett."

Holy shit! That was a lot! I could definitely see why she was so protective of her family.

"Rosalie…. I didn't know. I was told you had a lost a child, but I didn't know…"

"It's alright Bella. You didn't know just as I didn't know about you. Emmett told me about Liam's father and the whole situation with Demetri. I now understand your fear and can see why you were so upset the other day. You're strong though. You've gone through so much and you will make it through all of this."

I smiled in response. "Thanks. Rosalie. I'm glad we understand each other better know."

She smiled also.

The front door then opened up. Coming through the front door was Edward and Emmett.

Edward didn't look the happiest and my guess was because Rosalie was here. He had been really pissed at her since me and Rosalie's last encounter.

"Edward." Rosalie said.

Edward didn't respond so I jumped in. "Edward, Rosalie stopped by to talk. Her and I understand each other better now and I think we will be getting along just fine now." I said reassuringly and then looked to Rosalie and smiled.

"Well if girl time is over then I'm taking Rosalie to our place." Emmett stated,

And with that Emmett and Rosalie left.

Edward then relaxed. "So you and Rosalie are buddy-buddy now?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I wouldn't say buddy-buddy, but she came by and apologized. She explained things from her side and then told me about her past. She and I are more similar then what you think."

Edward still looked surprised and a little confused. Did he not know about what happened to Rosalie?.

"How much do you know about Rosalie's life before Emmett?" I asked.

"Not much. She never told anyone except Emmett and Esme." He said.

I bit my lip. Was it my place to tell him? I didn't want to betray Rosalie's trust, but I didn't wasn't Edward to forever hold a grudge against Rosalie.

"Well I think you should know. You would understand her and the situation a lot better." I said.

I then replayed me and Rosalie's conversation. I think Edward was even a little surprised. By the time we finished up, Liam was up from his nap. Edward worked in his office for a little while and then we had dinner. After being bathed and story time, Liam was down for the night.

"Why did you come home early today?" I asked.

Edward pressed his lips into a firm line.

"We spoke to Carlisle and he mentioned Esme was watching Emmett and Rosalie's son. Emmett was surprised because Rosalie never mentioned it to him. Then we found out that Rosalie was coming to the apartment to see you. I was afraid she was going to flip shit on you and you have break down or a panic attack. Also I just didn't want her in my apartment at all at the time. So I came to stop her or just make sure you were okay. Emmett insisted on coming also. But I'm glad it all worked out weirdly enough."

I smiled. He worried about me, but I knew it was because he cared.

Edward's phone rang.

"It's Jasper so I need to take this." He said before walking to his office.

A few minutes later he came back out with a serious look.

"Bella, I have to leave for a little awhile. It's important if not I wouldn't be leaving." He said.

"Okay." Was all I managed to say even though I wanted ask if was something about Demetri or Vladimir.

"I don't know how long I'll be so don't want up." And then he gave me a quick kiss and left.
