New Chapter for you! I would have had it up a couple of days ago, but I kinda spaced it.

I want to thank everyone for the reviews and story alerts, I treasure them.

This chapter gets a little violent, so beware.

Remember- This story is Rated M.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT. Whhhhyyyyyyy?

EVOP-

Motherfuckers.

Who in the hell did these idiots think they are?

James and Jake were currently sitting in my office, looking pretty god dam fucking worried. You wanna know why?

I guess it would have to be something to do with the Colt 45 I'm twirling around in my hand right in front of there faces.

I had called them in saying I was going to congratulate them on a job well done with Swan.

Well, they were about to have another thing coming to em. I wanted to play with them a little bit.

"So, you guys want to tell me all the little details about what happened out there? You know I'm just so curious." I said watching Jake's eyes dart around the room, looking anyplace but me.

"Well, we did what you told us to do, Mr. Cullen. Went in there, made sure there weren't any witnessesaround, and gave Swan two to the chest. Then we made sure to clean everything up. Nothing left behind. We used the silencer so no one would hear the gunshots." James blabbered looking incredibly fucking nervous. And really fucking guilty of something.

"No witnesses you say? What about that girl you brought in here?" I questioned, enjoying the blood suddenly drain out of both there faces.

"W-w-well yeah there was her, b-but we took care of her." James stammered out. I looked over at Jake, he must think there was something really interesting about his hands, since he was staring at them like they held the answers to fucking life.

I got up from behind my desk and walked around until I was standing next to James. I casually leaned against my desk, still idly playing with the gun in my hands.

"Mmmm… yeah you did bring her back here. But the thing is, she seems to be really beaten up, so I was just wondering, what the fuck happened to her?" I asked with mock curiosity.

"W-well you see-" Before he could get anything else out, I slammed the butt of my gun across his slimy fucking face. Hard.

"Ohh FUCK!" James screamed out holding his face. Suddenly Jake shot out of his chair and ran towards the door. Tsk, tsk, tsk… you can't run.

"Felix." I called out calmly. Before Jake reached the door it was thrown open to reveal Felix blocking the doorway. The only way out of my office.

Jake froze. I had to give it to him, Jake was a big guy, but Felix was bigger.

"I don't think you want to do that Jake." I stated calmly, like I was telling him it was raining outside.

His eyes were darting frantically around the room, trying to find another way out. The problem for him was there wasn't another way out. I didn't even have a window in this room.

While Jake was cornered, I went back to dealing with James. The left side of his face was covered in blood from the large gash I had made under his left eye.

"So, are you gonna tell me the truth, or am I gonna have to get my hands dirty?" I growled out. I could feel my anger starting to bubble up, starting to get past the point were I couldn't control it.

"I-I-I swear we didn't do a-anything to her." He stuttered out.

I couldn't take it, I wasn't stupid, I knew he and Jake did something by the looks on their faces when they first brought her in. I just needed to find out what.

"Do. Not. Lie. To. Me. You. Fucking. Prick." I punctuated every word with a slam to his face with my gun. By the time I was done, his face looked like it had been run over by a car.

It still wasn't enough for me.

"What did you do to her?" I screamed at him. I was starting to raise my gun to whack him across his head again when he interrupted me.

"WAIT! Please wait! I'll tell you everything, please." James sniveled in his chair. He was way to easy to break.

I lowered my gun only a fraction, waiting for him to speak.

"W-we did more than just smack her around a little bit, ok." No fucking shit. Why the fuck did he think all this was about?

I waited impatiently for him to continue.

"W-w-we uhhh, we r-r-raped her boss." He almost whispered.

They did WHAT to her!

Now it all clicked, why when they first brought her in she was in a blanket and nothing else. Why she was so terrified and why she freaked out when I touched her arm. Her inability to speak must have been because she was still in shock. In the back part of my brain I registered the fact that I had been a complete asshole to her, yelling and throwing things. I thought she was being a stubborn foolish girl, when in reality, she had just been raped by two of my men. Fuck.

I know I was the kingpin of a very powerful mob organization, but god dammit I had a few rules I followed. One of those few rules was to never hurt women and children. That strongly included rape. I never stood for any of my people assaulting a women sexually, because of I've seen the damage first hand with Rosalie, but that's a different story. All of my people knew these rules and followed them well. I'd never had anyone that worked for me rape a girl before.

Then something else clicked into place. Something I had been trying to control through this entire thing- my IED.

I hadn't felt this bad in years. My vision turned red, it felt like the entire room was shaking and the only thing I could think of was ending this bastards pathetic life.

So that's what I did. I brought the butt of my gun down on his face with all the force I could so many times I lost count. I had a passing thought to just shoot him, but thought better of it when I thought of the amount of sound it would make.

Within a matter of minutes, James's lifeless body was lying across my office floor, with me still bashing his brains in with my gun.

I was brought out of my trance like state when I heard a noise, like whimpering. I looked over and saw that Felix had Jake pinned to the ground, keeping him from running. Good, I thought, he was next.

With one more hit to his head, I left James's dead body lying there and I walked over to Jake.

"Stand him up Felix." I ground out. Felix lifted Jake up off the floor like he was a sack of potatoes and held him in front of me.

"What the hell gives you the right to do that to an innocent girl?" I growled at him.

He was shaking so hard I thought he was going to piss himself.

"I-I-I wasn't g-gonna do it, b-but it was J-James's i-idea." He stuttered out.

"I don't give a shit who's fucking idea it was, you don't do that to a girl!" I yelled at him and slammed the butt of my gun on his face like I did James.

I hit him a few more times and took a step away from him. I was breathing hard and fast and I still had a very, very strong urge to kill Jake. I avoided looking at him because I know if I did, I would lunge at him and kill him.

"Tell Demetri and Alec to take this bastard down to the warehouse on 45th street and then do something with this body." I gestured toward James's body. "Make sure it's quiet, I don't want this getting out."

"Yes, sir. I'll call when the job is done." Demetri said as he forcefully pushed Jake out the door. A few seconds later, three men came in for James's body.

"You want him in the usual place boss?" One of them asked me.

"Yes, make sure it's quick and quiet. I don't want any questions with this." I said and walked out of my office to leave them to their job. I knew by the time I got back my office would be clean and hold no sign of what just happened.

I was clenching and unclenching my fists and breathing hard, trying to calm down from my rage. The last time that it had been that strong, I was 17 years old and I had beat the shit out of some guy that I caught fucking my girlfriend at the time. He had a broken nose, broken jaw, a fractured cheek bone, a couple of missing teeth and several stitches. He ate out of a straw for 3 months and my parents had to pull some major strings to keep me from jail doing time.

Esme had made me do volunteer work every weekend and an extra therapy session each week from then until I turned 18, which had been 8 months away. It hadn't been a very easy time in my life.

I reached my bedroom and grabbed my bottle of pills off the dresser, quickly downing two.

My thoughts turned to the girl and what she must have been put through. I'd been such an ass to a little girl that had just been raped and abused by my men. A little girl. That's what she looked like to me. A scared, helpless, broken, little girl. I shuddered at the memory, now knowing what had really been behind it.

And another question came to mind. Who was she? James and Jake said they found her in Swans' house. Why was she there? Was she someone in his family? Maybe even his daughter. She seemed way too young to be his girlfriend. I needed to find out so I would know exactly how to handle this situation.

I sat on the edge of my bed and buried my head in my hands. I had been sitting there for only a minute or two when there was a knock on my door.

"Who is it?" I called out tiredly.

"It's just me, man." The voice of my brother-in-law called out to me through the door. I sighed, I really didn't want to talk to Jasper right now. But a part of me realized that he may know something about this girl. Was the information I need worth a possible lecture from Jasper?

"Come in Jasper." I relented.

Jasper opened my door then closed it softly behind him, and walked slowly into my room. He walked over to me and sat down on my bed beside me.

"So…. You want to tell me what happened in your office a few minutes ago?" He asked me. I wondered if Alice had told him something. I always wondered if she was psychic, she always knew when something would happen, I just didn't know how far it went.

"I don't think you want to know Jazz." I said.

"Did you kill them?" I was momentarily thrown off by the bluntness of his question, but recovered quickly. This was Jasper after all, he was never one to 'beat around the bush', so to speak.

"Only James." I told him softly.

He seemed to be considering this for a moment.

"Do you know about what they did?" He asked me after a couple of minutes.

What did he mean by that? Did he know what happened to the girl? How did he know it was James and Jake? Had the girl told him what happened or had she told Alice? Or was Alice simply being her regular psychic self and told Jasper something?

"I got the main idea of it. What they told me was enough, so I took care of it." I hedged.

"I thought that it was them that did that to her. Poor Bella." He whispered the last part to herself.

Bella? Of course, that must be the name of the girl. Bella… what a beautiful name. Literally. Wait, beautiful? What the hell was I thinking? I've never thought about a girls' name being beautiful. I shook my head slightly to clear the ridiculous thoughts out of it.

Before I could ask anything else, Jasper suddenly stood up from the bed.

"I'm going to go do some things that Alice asked me to do. I'll talk to you later, Edward." He said as he hurried out the door, without giving me a chance to say anything.

I sighed, now what the he was I gonna do? At least I knew her name now.

I decided to get the information first hand, or at the very least from Alice. I got up and started my way towards Alices' and Jaspers' room. Once I got there, I stood in front of the door for a moment, wondering what the hell I was going to say. What was I supposed to say? Sorry that those two guys raped you and all, but don't worry, I killed them.

I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I could hear Alice say something and then the door was swung open.

"Edward, what are you doing here?" Alice asked, I could hear the warning in her voice- make her upset and I will kill you.

"I just wanted to apologize to the both of you and maybe talk to Bella about some things, only if she wants to of course." I reassured Alice when she gave me a death glare.

She huffed at me and turned back towards Bella.

"Bella, do you want to talk to him? I'll be right here with you if you want."

I looked past Alice to see that Bella was looking down at her lap, hiding her face behind her curtain of hair. She looked so tiny and broken, I really wondered how old she is, surely not over 16 or 17.

"It's fine Alice… just stay here with me please." Bella pleaded softly with Alice. She was so quiet.

"Of course I'll stay Bella." Alice walked over to the bed and sat down next to Bella.

I took a deep breath and slowly and cautiously walked into the room, sitting in a chair a few feet away from the bed.

"First, I want to say that I'm sorry if I scared you back in my office, that wasn't my intention. I was just…. upset about some things and I shouldn't have taken it out on you." I apologized to her sincerely.

She glanced up at me for a second then looked back down at her lap quickly, still covered by the curtain of her hair. She gave a tiny nod once and started to twine her fingers together in her lap.

"Can I ask you a couple of other questions? You don't have to answer them if you don't want." I asked gently. I wanted a few answers but I didn't want to scare her in the process.

Once again she just gave a nod and continued to play with her fingers. Alice slowly put an arm around Bella's shoulders in a soothing gesture.

"Your name's Bella, right?" I started off with an easy question.

She just nodded again. I sighed mentally, this was going to take a lot of patience on my part. I hesitated on my next question, I remembered when I asked her how old she is and she freaked out back in my office, I didn't want to scare her again.

"Bella, what's your age?" I hoped my rephrasing it would help.

She froze for a second, I was worried that she would become upset again, but then without looking at me said softly, "I'm 17."

Only 17. At this, I was angry again, not at her of course, but at James and Jake. They raped a 17 year old girl. How could those bastards do such a horrible thing? I breathed deeply a couple of times to calm down, then continued with my questions.

"Ok, now, this question might be a little harder, you don't have to answer, but I know you were in Chief Swans house, are you related to him?"

She tensed and finally glanced up at me but for only a moment. I noticed that her eyes were watering and it touched something inside of me. It was strange, I had never liked to see a girl cry, but I usually ignored it or awkwardly comforted the girl. But with Bella, I wanted to wrap her up in my arms and hold her until she felt better.

I was brought out of my thoughts by a voice I had only heard a couple of times.

"I'm… I was his daughter." She almost whispered to me with tears in her eyes, her voice cracking.

So she was his daughter. I knew that Swan had one, but the information I received on him said that his daughter was in Arizona or some place like that, not with him in Forks.

For some reason my heart clenched in my chest and I felt guilty for having this girls father killed. I pushed it away though, not wanting to deal with the meaning behind it.

I was getting ready to ask something else, but before I could, she surprised me by asking a question of her own.

"Why did you kill my dad?" She whispered.

That was a complicated and loaded question. How do I explain to a 17 year old girl why I, a mob boss, killed her father, the chief of police for Forks, Washington.

I glanced at Alice and instead of her death glare, she was wearing a worried look and glancing back and forth between me and Bella so fast, I was surprised that she wasn't going cross eyed.

"I had to because of… business reasons. He was getting to close to finding things out that he wasn't supposed to know about. I didn't have another choice. I'm sorry." I finished lamely.

"Get out, please." She said all of a sudden.

"I'm sor-"

"Please get out. I don't want to talk anymore." She interrupted me.

"Edward, I think you should leave. You and I will talk later." Alice spoke up. The last part was obviously a warning to me.

"Ok, I'll talk to you later Alice. I'm sorry Bella." I tried once again to apologize. Why was it so important for me to seek this girls forgiveness? I'd never apologized for thing that involved my business before.

I walked out the door and closed it lightly behind me. I stood in the hallway and I could hear Bella crying in the other room and Alice saying something to her.

Once again, the strange ache in my chest returned at the sound of Bella crying. I promised then and there that I would find a way to make this up to Bella. I didn't know why I needed to, but something inside of me rebelled against the thought that I had made this girl upset and hurt.

Now the hard part was going to be finding out how to go about doing such a thing. They didn't exactly make Hallmark cards and flowers for that.

End of this Chapter. *Sad face*

As always, please review. It saves you from Alices' death glare.
