Chapter 9
Diamond Man
"What're you doing here?"
Bella was shocked to see her mother standing at the door, with a smile on her face
"Should I have a reason to come and see my daughter?"
"Well you abandoned me and dad when I was young so an explanation would be nice"
"Don't be like that, you know I love you"
I barked a cruel laugh before saying "Did you? That's baloney"
I heard Michel behind me move, "I'm going to go Baby girl" he kissed my cheek wincing as he rubbed his jaw "I'll be here tomorrow night"
Emmett was still on the anger road, he wasn't satisfied just killing that bloke, he wanted them all to suffer, he wanted to hear their pleas as he killed them. And soon he would.
Her mum looked around the place before swinging herself to meet her daughters gaze
"This it? O honey I used to be living like royalty"
"I like it here"
She rolled her eyes "Baby you are so stuck on sentimental things"
"You mean my dad, he did pass away a few weeks ago now and your really not looking that upset" Bella crossed her arms over her chest and looked at her mother, she couldn't help but feel hatred for her, she hated how she just left them all those years ago
"I loved your father Bella" she picked up a picture of Charlie before setting it back down and looking back at her daughter "But times have changed, I've married someone else, I've had another baby and thinking of having another one"
"You…"
A knock interrupted Bella speech and she walked to the door and opened it to find Edward
"Not now!" she snapped
"I gotta talk to you" Edward stormed in and then seen another woman looking at him seductively and winking
"Who's this baby?"
"This is Edward my boyfriend, so hands off" Edward smirked at his moll, he placed a hand on her hip and started to rub it, making herself itch closer to him atta girl
"Fine, so how about it" she cocked her head to the side "Would you like to meet your step-brother, me and Phil are thinking of having another, Phil pleases me like that"
"You cold hearted bitch" Bella snapped, Edward looking a little shocked at Bella swearing but composed himself "You think by inviting your family into my house will mend our relationship, your nothing but a roundheel, getting a sugar daddy to pay for all your pretty little things, and getting him to put his seed into you so you can create a so called perfect family"
"How dare you talk to me like that!" Renee shouted "I can't be expected to stay with Charlie for you, you selfish little girl!"
"I am anything but selfish, and thank god I have no features like you and I don't act like you because I have more about myself then ditching my old life to go prance around with a new one"
"It's not like that at all"
"Yes it is" Bella shouted, Edward heard her throat crack
"Leave now!"" Edward snapped
"Who…"
"I can assure you unless you want to keep your tongue I suggest you scram" Edward hugged Bella to him and started to walk her to her room, Renee walked out of the joint and slammed the door
"I'm sorry"
"Ssshhh" he kissed her forehead and placed her on the bed, her eyes were stained with tears and her mascara ran down her cheeks
"Your so beautiful doll" he looked into her eyes and said "Cash?" she smiled and nodded. He kissed her, he intended the kiss to be a gentle peck but he was once again surprised by her when she grabbed the back of his head and pulled him closer to her, her tongue invaded his mouth making his eyes roll to the back of his head, he pushed her down and set himself in between her legs, he ran both hands up her smooth legs until he reach her hips, he pulled back and lifted her up so she was no straddling him "That's enough for tonight doll" he kissed her cheeks and lay them both on the bed, Bella's arms wrapped around him until the morning.
Rosalie wasn't moving, her knees were pulled together, she vaguely heard Emmett in the background, his heavy footsteps made her cringe.
"Rose?"
Nothing, she felt if she spoke everything would come back, especially the pain, this is why Emmett wanted the bastards to pay, for hurting his Rose.
Johnny readied his men, it was now morning, the everyday bankers were now setting up and in five minutes they were going to storm the place.
"Everyone clear"
"Yes boss" they all replied, they grabbed their guns and stormed the bank, the bang brought everyone to their knees
"All we want is the dough" the bankers rushed to get the money, one by one of Maranzo's men their bags were stacked with cash. Johnny saw a man in the corner of the room, he aimed the gun at his head and fired, the frightened screams of the women echoed the bank before. Johnny grabbed one of the bags and ran to the car where Marco, their driver, was already waiting for them.
The sun shined into Bella's room, she sighed in satisfaction of having a good nights sleep. She felt Edward's chest pressed against her back, his heavy arm wrapped around her making sure she wasn't going anywhere, she turned her head and saw his head leaning on her shoulder, his long eyelashes were the first thing she could see, that and his beautiful bronze hair. His pouty lip opened and closed when a light snore, she smiled and kissed his head, he smelt like cigars and calone. Edward stirred in his sleep so he was now rolled onto his back but bring Bella along with him so she was pressed on top of him, he squeezed her tight and she laughed
"Edward, wake up I can't breathe" she choked out
He let her go and she fell beside him gasping for air
"Sorry doll" he kissed the back of her neck and made his way downwards, she sighed and turned her head so her cheek rested on the pillow. He stopped his kisses on her neck and moved to kiss her on the lips; this was the Edwards no body knew this softer side of him. He pulled back and frowned
"Your mascara has stained your face doll" he kissed her cheeks to let her know he didn't care but got up to get a wash cloth.
Bella smiled happily and sat up, she felt the stains on her cheeks and felt horrible, her eyes were still tired and she started with a migraine. Her mother had once again caused her pain, she still remembered the day when she walked out on Charlie and her.
"Renee, Bella needs a mother"
"No you need me, I'm sick of it Charlie, sick of being married to a pig" Charlie flinched back; a young Bella stood on the stairs sucking her thumb and squeezed her cuddly bear to her.
"What about Bella?"
"I never wanted children Charlie, I only slept with you because I was drunk and when I found out I was pregnant I married you for the child's sake and because my parents would cut off my inheritance"
"So what, you're going to leave?"
"That's the plan" Renee looked up the stairs and saw her 5 year old daughter standing there sucking her thumb, Charlie followed her gaze and looked apologetically at his daughter, Bella didn't realize she was crying until she sniffed and felt the dampness of her teddies head
"Bye" Renee opened the door and slammed it shut, Bella didn't understand why she was leaving, she must have loved Charlie one time to marry him, it couldn't all be because of Renee getting pregnant with her. Charlie ran up the stairs and hugged Bella
"It'll be ok Bells, I'm here for you"
"Doll" Edward wrapped his arms round her as she sobbed, his girl was hurting because of that hussy and he was going to see she was out of town and not to interfere in his girl's life. "It's ok"
Bella pulled back and she saw she had soaked his shirt, she pried it off his body and looked at him, his toned torso made her squirm, he was about to lean in for a kiss but was stopped when he heard the knocking of the front door. He pecked her once before he went up to get it, Bella quickly wiped her eyes and started to look at what she could wear today, she was thinking of singing tonight but was unsure about it, there was a crash dowstairs and Bella hurried to it, she saw Edward on top of Michel, Michel hugged Edward's torso and slammed Edward onto his back
"Stop now" Bella walked up to the two and grabbed Michel and Edwards' ear
"Stop this crap now" Michel was the first to stand up, she let go of both of their ears and they glared at each other
"Getting with him is a bad idea baby girl"
"Baby girl?" Edward snapped, now looking at Bella accusingly
"Right can you both leave please? Edward I'll go get your shirt now"
Bella didn't trust them enough to behave themselves so she practically ran up the stairs to get Edward's top.
Edward glared at the male canary
"What's your business with Bella?" Edward asked
"She's a very good friend, I've know her ever since we were in diapers"
"What's with the name? Baby girl?"
"I can call her what ever I fucking want"
"You must have a suicide thought for talking to me like that"
"I ain't afraid of you boy, I ain't afraid of nobody which comes in Baby Bells way of being happy"
"You think I'll ruin her happiness" Edward's hand were clenching into fists as he folded them across his chest
"I know you will" Michel spat back
They heard Bella come back in the room she shoved the shirt at Edward and asked them to leave. She grabbed Edward's hand when Michel disappeared from site, she leaned up and pecked him on the lips
"I'm sorry for being a cow, but with my mom here I need to think about how to deal with her" she kissed him again making him grin,
"Later doll" with a wink he put on his shirt and walked out of the building and into his car.
Bella sighed happily against her door; she heard a knock on the door and giggled.
She opened it expecting Edward to be there but she felt a pressure on her neck and she was being pushed back against the wall on the other side. She looked up and saw Johnny Maranzano standing there with a sick grim on his face and his hand on her neck
"If you think you got away with that stunt you pulled the other day your wrong" he flipped open a pocket knife and shined onto Bella's eye "Let's leave your boy with a message"
Bella tried to struggle free but he pinned her harder against the wall, she saw his men behind her he turned to look at them and said
"Keep a look out, call me if anyone comes" they nodded and shut the door as they left
He let go of her and she fell to the floor panting, she could hear the ringing in her ears as she glared at him, he put his coat off and hung it over her couch
"Now" he leaned on the couch looking at her with his hands on top of the coach and looking at her casually "I've made a very generous position for you to be my moll, and the thing is I need a boy so he can follow into my footsteps, I want you to be my moll, my wife so you can give birth to a boy and everyone still respects me, I mean would they respect my son if he was a whore's son?" he cocked his head to the side and smiled at me
"Piss off" she croaked out
His grin went off his face and now he looked murderous
"Not a good idea to tell me to piss off baby"
He stood up and grabbed her, he thrown her on the couch and she screeched as her head hit the floor, he climbed on top of her and pinned her hands to the side and trapped her legs under him she had no way of escaping, his harsh liquor breath fanned over her face she was nearly sick from the smell
"More people will get hurt if you don't come to terms with my deal, so I will say it again be by my side and nobody else gets hurt because of you"
"She looked him square in the eyes
"What do you mean nobody else?" he smirked and her eyes widened "Who have you hurt?"
"O not me but some of my boys, why don't you ask Cullen about that"
He turned her head to the side and licked and bit her neck she bit her bottom lip not to scream out, he moved his right hand down, tying her hands together with his left hand and dragged his hand down so he now groped her breast. He leaned up and whispered harshly in her ear
"You don't have to be married to me so I can fuck you, and I don't care how I have you, but one way or another you will be in my bed having my child even if that means I have to rape you for it"
He stood up and stormed out of the apartment, Bella was shaking hard she couldn't control it; she cried her eyes out, once again the mascara running down her eyes.
3 hours later Bella had managed to calm down and managed to have a shower and sort herself out for tonight.
Edward got ready for tonight he put on his hat and saw Emmett in his reflection
"Don't start" Edward snapped
"I want revenge" He replied, not taking a word in Edward said to him earlier.
"Revenge won't change what happened"
"But it will give me peace of mind they won't do it again"
"We'll talk about this later"
"DO YOU KNOW WHY JOHNNY FUCKING MARANZANO IS FEARED!" Emmet shouted, his temper getting the best of him, his hands clenched either side of him
"Tell me then" Edward snapped again
"Because he deals with people who piss him off, he deals with people who mess up what's his"
"He's also a murderer"
"You're a fucking murderer, or have you thrown that all away because of the canary"
"Don't fucking start Em"
"Your becoming soft, the great diamond man, he was feared by everyone and everyone kept on edge because of him, do you know what I heard the other day?"
Edward shrugged
"That Maranzano is now top dog, and you and I know what happens when another top dog is replaced, they put a hit on him, meaning you"
Edward frowned, he forgotten the consequences of what would happen if he lost his game
"Start to get out of that fucking normal guy mind Edward, you ass and ours are on the line and I will not die for you if you continue to think of yourself"
Emmett left to go to his wife and left Edward standing there, he walked into the living room and saw Jasper sitting calmly on the couch
"He's right isn't he?"
Jasper said nothing but nodded
Bella rushed in and got her make-up ready, her brown hair was tied up and curled to look like Marilyn Manroe, she wore a red head set with a feather in her hair to match her red flapper dress, she slipped on her heels and put on her lipstick, Michel knocked on the door and entered, he saw Bella and smirked
"Beautiful and always baby girl beautiful" he picked up black liquid and put it on gently next to her eye
"There you have a black little mole which brings out more how beautiful you are"
She rolled her eyes and he gave her a kiss on the cheek "Good luck"
"Thanks" she replied with a deep sigh she began to walk out of her dressing room and onto the stage, the club had gotten busier this past week she smiled and stopped onto the stage, the crowd went wild and she smiled
"Good evening everyone I hope you enjoy my song"
(Do your thang honey)
I could feel it from the start
Couldn't stand to be apart
Something ?bout you caught my eye
Something moved me deep inside
I don't know what you did boy but you had it
And I've been hooked ever since
I told my mother, my brother, my sister and my friends
Told the others, my lovers from past and present tense
That every time I see you everything starts making sense
(Do your thang honey)
Ain't no other man can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy a girl finds in a blue moon
You got soul, you got class, you got style with your bad ass
Ain't no other man, it's true
Ain't no other man but you
She swished her hips and looked out for Edward
Never thought I'd be alright, no no no
?Til you came and changed my life, yeah yeah yeah
What was cloudy now is clear, yeah yeah
You're the light that I needed
You got what I want boy and I want it
So keep on givin' it up
So tell your mother, your brother, your sister and your friends
And the others, your lovers, better not be present tense
?Cause I want everyone to know that you are mine and no one else's
Ain't no other man can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy a girl finds in a blue moon
You got soul, you got class, you got style with your bad ass
Ain't no other man, it's true
Ain't no other man but you
He had still not turned up and Bella was starting to get worried, he was always here ever since that first night he liked her, she felt the butterflies in her stomach and saw out of the corner of her eyes Johnny and his men. Johnny was laughing and playing poker while occasionally looking up at Bella
(Break it down now)
Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other other
Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other lover
Ain't no other, I-I-I need no other
Ain't no other man but you
You are there when I'm a mess
Talk me down from every ledge
Give me strength, boy you're the best
You're the only one who's ever passed every test
Ain't no other man can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy a girl finds in a blue moon
You got soul, you got class, you got style with your bad ass
Ain't no other man, it's true
Ain't no other man but you
And now I'm telling you
Said ain't no other man but you!
Ain't no other man can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy a girl finds in a blue moon
You got soul, you got class, you got style with your bad ass
Ain't no other man, it's true
Ain't no other man but you
Everyone cheered for her and she smiled and waved, Johnny and his men stood up and clapped, a cigar hanging loosely from his lips.
5 songs later Edward still hadn't showed and it was closing time. Everyone started to leave and when Bella looked over to Johnny he had a big smirk on his face which put Bella on edge. She didn't know what happened to Edward but she had a feeling she would find out soon.
