Chapter 14
Diamond Man
Bella dragged Edward to the backstage as she saw Johnny with a gun, he was out for blood.
Emmett and Jasper had joined them and were firing shots at Johnny and his men
"Edward"
"I'm fine doll" Edward replied wheezing "Fuckers" he grabbed his gun and stood up
"Edward" she gasped "You'll hurt yourself"
"Emmett, Jasper look after her"
She reached for him but Edward was no in full view his spread his arms wide
"Come on then Maranzano"
Bella saw his men back down
"Come on then Cullen, do your worst"
Edward glared "O I already have"
Johnny frowned
"You see, your nothing Johnny, as we speak my people are ruining your warehouses, moving your shipments, killing your men, and now your fucked"
Johnny smirked "You think that's all I got? What? You got the girl you got my business"
"Something like that, anything I've missed I'll take from you"
Johnny smirked "Bella? Come on canary come out"
"Bella stay where you are" Edward glared at Johnny never taking his eyes from him
"come out or I'll shoot Cullen in the head, I think I've already proven I'll shoot him, how's the back there, your loosing blood"
Bella saw blood drip from his back and onto the floor. She stood up and Emmett tried to stop her, she shook her head and got up, Jasper saw her shaky form and saw she was trying to hide it.
She stood next to Edward
"You look gorgeous canary"
She glared at him
" I bet I know something you don't know about Cullen here" he tilted his head to the side before continuing "Did you know your 'faithful lover here bedded a round heel the same night you rejected him? Hm? When your father died and I left your apartment, his men were watching you yadda yadda yadda, any more details you want to refresh your memory?"
She shook her head
"That's a lie"
"And again the morning after he stole the diamonds remember the ones from the bank? If you think I'm lying why don't you ask Edward?"
Bella looked to Edward and she only had to see the shame on his face to know it was true, she swallowed the vile in her throat and faced Maranzano
"That was before we were together Johnny, nice try but your 'trying to break us up' plan won't work"
Johnny's smug expression disappeared, he raised his gun but Edward was faster he shot Johnny's hand and Emmett and Jasper shot at his men
Bella pulled Edward back to the back stage and he crouched down in pain
"Fuckers" Bella saw they shot him in his shoulder. She heard sirens coming towards them she thanked god for that.
"Boss we gotta go" on of Johnny's men shouted
Bella saw Johnny and his men run out of her club and heard the tires of cars screeching on the ground. Jasper and Emmett were at his side in an instant
"The pigs will be coming too boss" Jasper got Edward's arm and wrapped it around his neck 2Em give me a hand, we've got to get him out"
"I'm not leaving my girl here"
"Just go and take care of him, if the cops find you here they'll blame you all"
Edward just looked at her and nodded "Come by my place tonight ok?"
She nodded and kissed his lips before his friends took him out the back way of the club, the front door slammed open and Bella saw one of her dad's old friends
"Mack?"
"Bella" he rushed up to her and checked her over, making sure she didn't have any shot wounds
"I'm ok" she waved him off "just got this bloody place fixed"
he chuckled "I'm sorry Bella, did you see ho did it"
"Not really he was wearing a hat still so were his men so I didn't see the faces, all I saw was that they were buff"
he nodded "Was anyone else around who was stuck in here? I heard Edward Cullen was here, I hear he's your boyfriend now"
"That's right, but he left early he said there was a problem with one of his shops"
"Ok Bella, do you need a ride home?"
Bella was about to answer but she was cut off by a scream
"O my poor baby"
her mother crushed her into a hug and Bella pushed her away
"What the hell?" Mack looked at Renee, confused as to why she was there
"O Isabella stop that, did you catch them Mack?"
"No" he said shortly, he turned his back to her and carried on walking, Bella smiled slightly, Mack never did like Renee
Edward was sitting in his apartment; their doctor was getting ready to take out the bullet which Maranzano had shot in his back
"Jasper get me the fucking bottle of jack Daniels"
He nodded and stripped his shirt off, Benjamin, their doctor, came back in and started to speak once Jasper had returned with the bottle, Edward began to drink it, not bothering with a glass
"This is going to hurt Edward, just keep drinking that vodka and think of something which will take your mind of it"
Edward nodded and lay on his stomach, Emmett was in the corner watching Edward furrowed his eyebrows, he was now noticing how Emmett looked, he looked like shit, but there was something else there, something else was wrong with Emmett. Emmett had already told Edward about Rosalie, how distant she still was with him he gave Emmett the advice o be patient and be there for her, but Emmett looked like he had something else on his mind now.
"FUCK!" Edward grabbed the bottle and drank until it was half empty. The pain made his eyes water and made him feel sick. He tried to think of anything which could stop this from hurting even thinking o his girl couldn't. With another three gulps Edward's head was feeling fuzzy
Bella managed to tidy her joint up, her eyelids felt heavy and she yawned. Today had been a rollercoaster what with Michel and Edward and her mother; couldn't she have a little time with Edward like they did the other night, with no worries? No she thought they couldn't, Edward was a mobster and from what she heard on the street he was now a don, but he had to have the blessing of the other dons first. Bella knew one or two of them in particular their names were Antonio and Vito Marino.
Vito was the oldest yet strongest while Antonio, his brother, was his right hand man and next to lead the mafia world.
Locking the clun up she got a ride back to her joint before getting into her bed still fully dressed.
Edward sat on the couch with his eyes closed, the doc had did a good job of getting rid of the bullets.
"Boss?"
Edward opened his eyes to see Emmett sitting opposite from him
"What wrong Em"
Emmett sighed and ran his hands through his short hair while he kept whispering 'shit'
"I fucked up Ed, real bad this time"
Edward leaned forward,, ignoring the pain in his back and shoulder where Maranzano had hit him.
"Last night, I was with rose right?" Edward nodded and waited for him to continue "Well I got up and left a little later because she kept on crying and I was so fucking frustrated, so I went down to Lenny's"
"Emmett"
Emmett looked at his boss square on the eye
"Tell me you didn't Em, tell me I'm thinking the wrong fucking thing" Edward begged if the next words which he thought would come out of Emmett's mouth was what he thought they were, there would be hell to pay
"I'm sorry Ed"
"Did you or didn't you Emmett" Edward stood up and looked down at Emmett
Emmett sighed and ran his hands over his face
"I fucked another girl at Lenny's"
"FUCK SAKE EMMETT!" Edward shouted he threw what was last of the scotch at the wall and started to pace
"I'm sorry Edward"
"DON'T, don't fucking sit there and call me my name"
"Sorry boss"
"Shit" Edward muttered "Why the fuck would you do it, I thought you loved Rosalie?"
"I do"
"Than why did you fuck a round heel when you were suppose to be at home looking after your wife who had just been raped and beaten by those fuck heads?"
Bella yawned as she began to wake up, she opened her eyes and felt someone next to her she almost panicked but she saw bronze hair.
She ran her hand through it and smiled as Edward's green eyes looked at her with a smile
"Did I wake you?"
She shook her head "When did you get here?"
"Just now" he kissed her neck and climbed on top of her, he lay his head on her chest, he heard her heart beat against his ear, smiling as he heard it start to race quicker
"How are you" she whispered
"Better now I'm here"
He looked at her "Everything is always better when I'm with you"
She smiled and kissed his lips "How's Jasper and Emmett?"
She felt his hands tighten on her waist she furrowed her eyebrows at him
"Emmett" he spat "Will be Emmett, Jasper's fine"
She nodded and didn't ask anymore
"Are you coming to the club tonight?"
"If you want me there doll"
She nodded and pushed himk over so he was now lying on his back
"Your still wearing your clothes" he kissed her lips "We'll have to fix that"
She chuckled as he started to lift her dress up
Rosalie was pacing, she cried as her body shook, she had another nightmare last night and usually Emmett woke her up but last night she experienced everything which happened that night.
When she woke up she realized Emmett wasn't there as he usually there in the morning. She sat down on the bed and let her mind wonder
What if Emmett got sick of her? She still wasn't comfortable with him touching her, even though she knew Emmett would never hurt her in a million years she still couldn't bear for anyone to touch her, not after everything had happened. No she thought Emmett wasn't like that, I'm sure something came up and he had to help Edward and Jasper with something, everything was fine she thought, not really convincing herself.
Bella was walking down the street, the day had quickly gone and she was walking back home at night, Edward said for her to be careful. Michel was suppose to be meeting her but he was getting ready to leave.
She dropped the bag of groceries on the floor and began to pick them up but she was forcefully brought into a side alley
"Get the bag" she saw two men grab her grocery bag she tried to struggle to get out of the man's grip but it wouldn't do any good
"Hey, isn't that Isabella Swan?"
"Yes, o shit" he dropped her forcefully onto the ground, she landed on her floor hard, she felt her cheek begin to bruise
"Chris, come on"
That was the last thing Bella heard before blacking out, she did however feel the first drop of rain land on her right cheek as he head was tilted to the side.
