Bella POV

Before I knew it Aro ordered everyone out except Edward, Carlisle, Emmett, and Rosalie. I don't know why they kept her in here but I know it's not going to be good. Emmett had a gun pointed at my head which made me shake harder than before.

"Now Bella, who are you exactly." Aro was glaring menacingly at me. I know he was really asking me how I knew about their families.

"My name is Isabella Swan but I like to go by Bella because Isabella is too formal. I am a stripper at the club twilight and I am 22 years old." I didn't want them to find out about my dad so I didn't say anything.

"Isabella, don't be difficult." Rosalie spat at me.

"I'm not being difficult." I spat back but I guess that was wrong because Rosalie punched me in the face. I felt the blood dripping down my face as it spilled from my nose. I didn't let the tears fall as my face stung.

"Rosalie leave, NOW!" Edward yelled at her shocking the life out of her. Emmett put the gun closer to my temple making me shudder.

"Edward you don't tell her if she could leave or not. Rosalie is going to be our lady friend for the moment to torture Isabella until she talks." I was scared.

"Okay," I just had to, "My dad was a police officer of forks. He was the chief of police. He retired a couple of years ago. He used to always come home ranting about your families. He was always paranoid about trying to find dirt on you all to put you all behind bars. Especially the Volturi family." I spat at him which earned me a punch in the eye.

"Don't get smart you little bitch!" Rosalie shouted at me. Edward was basically seething in his chair ready to kill Rosalie.

"My dear Bella, please just comply. How do you know about our family, better yet, what do you know about us?" Carlisle spoke in a calm but firm voice. I could tell he was a peace maker.

"I know that your families are the most powerful mob families in the country and in Italy. I know you guys kill and trade drugs or something like that. I don't know if you trade around prostitutes or not." Before I knew it I was being hauled out of my sit and I got kneed in the stomach by Rosalie.

"How dare you? What do you think of these men? Do you think we are all lowlifes you sick twisted whore!" She kicked me in the stomach before she stood back looking frightened.

I was spitting blood out of my mouth when I looked up. Edward was pointed on gun at Rosalie and the other at Emmett.

"Back the fuck up Rosalie and I mean NOW!" Edward spoke menacingly.

"Edward why don't you calm down and put the gun away son." Carlisle tried to reason with him but he wasn't having any of it.

"No! I am not going to sit here and watch her basically beat Bella to death. I'm not going to stand for it." Edward looked pretty scary when he was really pissed off. I groaned and closed my eyes hoping to find darkness soon.

This pain was becoming way too much. That is when I felt arms wrap around me and lift me up.

"You would not let that piece of trash stay here. She already knows too much. She is better off dead Edward." I heard a voice that I didn't quite recognize.

"Tanya I don't want to hear it." Edward spat at her as he led me somewhere. I felt us going down some stairs.

Soon I was being put into a car and we were off driving in a direction. I was able to open one of my eye lids but my vision was blurry. My chest hurt pretty bad along with my stomach since Rosalie had on high heel combat boots.

It hurt to breathe out my nose so I just let out deep breathes from my mouth. I felt the car come to a stop and I hope he was taking me back to my place to spare me. I closed my eye again as my eye was getting tired. I felt Edward lift me up and take me into a building.

I could tell that we were in an elevator. I felt pain shoot through my chest and whimpered.

"Bella you'll be okay. I'll take care of you I promise." I felt Edward kiss my hair. I didn't understand why he was doing this.

The doors of the elevator opened and we stepped out. I didn't know where he was taking me because there is no way my apartment building had this many floors. I heard Edward open a door and walked us inside.

I was then placed on a really soft bed surrounded by fluffy smiles. I felt Edward place ice on my eye and put something warm on my stomach. It felt heavenly to me. I couldn't deny it.

I felt Edward clean up my face. I felt so sticky and filthy with the blood everywhere. Just thinking about it made my mind fuzzy and my stomach clinch with disgust. I fought the smell the best way I could.

It was better when my nose was stuffy so I couldn't smell anything. My nose wasn't broken thankfully but it would bruise for sure. I know that my eye was painfully swollen. I didn't want to think about what my chest and stomach looked like.

"Bella can you hear me?" I could hear the concern in his voice and I didn't know why so I just had to ask.

"Why do you care?" I could barely whisper since my throat was soar.

"I do care Bella. Even though I look like I don't doesn't mean I don't. Listen I'm sorry about tonight. It was a big misunderstanding and I would like to apologize." Edward sounded sincere but I didn't know if he was serious or not.

"Hmmmm." I still haven't forgotten how he treated me earlier.

"Listen Bella I'm sorry and if I could make it up to you I would." Edward pleaded with me but I wasn't giving in just yet. I wanted him to suffer a bit but not too much.

"I'm tired Edward." I opened my good eye and looked at him. He had taken off his pants and was in his boxers and he took of his shoes and shirt. He was breath taking.

His chest and abs were absolutely gorgeous and I just wanted to lick them. That thought made me blush. He had muscles and his pale skin just made him look flawless. His coppery looking hair made me want to run my fingers through it over and over again. The only thing that stood out the most was his eyes.

His eyes were so green and perfect. I could stare at them all day without hesitation.

"Of course Bella. You would have to stay here for a while and rest. You need to heal as well." Edward grabbed a couple of pillows and put them under me and pulled the comforter over me.

"But what about my job. I need that money Edward. I know it sounds needy but you just wouldn't understand." Life was hard for me and I don't think he would ever understand where I'm coming from.

"Bella I understand what you mean. I will make sure you get a paid vacation, how about that?" He gave me a small smile.

"Edward you shouldn't do that. I'm a worthless stripper, you shouldn't have to pay me for it Edward." I wanted to reason with him.

"It's not a problem Bella. Let's just say this is a way to say sorry." I couldn't shake off the look Edward was giving me. It made me feel butterflies in my stomach.

I couldn't stay awake any long as I felt myself sink into darkness.

"Sleep tight Bella, love." I felt Edward kiss my cheek. So weird.
