Chapter 3

"Edward?" frowned Bella.

"Hey" smiled her ex.

"What the hell are you doing here?" asked Bella descending down from the stage.

How dare the bastard show his face after all he'd done, was he insane?

"I was in town and thought I'd come say hi" shrugged Edward.

"Well you've said it so now you can do me a favour and piss off back to the hole you've been hiding in and stay there" sneered Bella.

"I didn't have to come here Bella..."

"And nobody asked you to, in fact, if I remember correctly Lonny and Dennis already banned you from the club four months ago so technically your trespassing" said Bella and right then narrowed her head over her shoulder. "Rick! Derek! Please be so kind as to remove this worthless peace of shit from this building and my presence before I personally tare him a new ass!" she called.

Rick and Derek marching over grabbed the young man by the upper arms.

"Bella I just wanted to talk" said Edward struggling against the two well built bodyguards.

"Yeah, well guess what Mason? I don't want to talk to your parasite self. Ever. Again!" snapped Bella.

The men then carried Edward away ensuring that once he was out of the club he didn't dare step foot near it again.

Bella then wandered back into the dressing room hitting the mini bar straight away and poured herself a martini.

"You okay?"

She heard seeing Stacee walk into the room with Constance and the backup girls behind him.

"Oh I'm fine" said Bella polishing off her glass.

"You sure?" asked Stacee in concern.

"Yeah, I'm sure" assured Bella noticing that Stacee didn't seem at all convinced.

"Who was that?" he asked leaning back against the bar arms folded.

"Someone and none is the answer to that question. Trust me the less you know about that asshole the better" said Bella refilling her glass.

"Its like that huh?" asked Stacee.

"Yep. It's like that" said Bella taking a swig of her drink.

The rock star didn't quite understand the situation between his assistant and the guy she called Mason but he was no idiot and could just about guess the bigger picture.

"About what you said before about wanting to sing" said Stacee.

"Mm hm" hummed Bella.

"I've had an idea".

"Well by all means I'm all ears" said Bella feeling curious to what he had to say bringing the glass to her lips.

But right as Stacee was about to tell her Paul re-entered the room glancing back and forth between Stacee and Constance.

"Sooo how are we doing in here? All finished up?" he asked them.

"Actually I have something to say" said Constance looking at Stacee. "Despite what you think your no cowboy" she stated.

"Why don't you tell me what I am" said Stacee taking a seat on the couch wanting to hear what she had to say.

"Your a man child stuck in a rut".

"I love it when you talk dirty" spoke Stacee in a playful manner as Bella burst into a set of giggles at this comment.

"You used to write good songs, but where are they now? And just how exactly do you think you'll survive going solo? Because I'm telling you now if you carry on allowing this manager of yours to cloud your mind with girls and alcohol then he's gonna drive you're career right over the edge" stated Constance pointing accusingly at Paul.

"Ok line crossed time to go" spoke the agent reaching out to grab Constance.

"Don't touch me!" snapped the woman snatching her arm away from Paul.

"Look lady you can't just come here and think you can judge someone you think you have narrowed down to the last hair on their head because seriously sweetheart, you don't. Now god knows I loathe Paul as much as the next person so I exclude him when I say that these people here before you are like family to me and I refuse to stand by and see anyone bring them down for any kind of pleasure, least of all you. So why don't you and your snarky commentary make like my ex and vanish before I literally drag you out by the root of your hair and throw you out on your ass. Got it?" Bella sneered at Constance.

On the other side of the room Stacee had never been more turned on in his life. He'd never noticed just how much of a pistol Izzy was before and for that he must have been fucking blind as a bat not to because seeing this side of her now was like having his eyes open for the first time in a long time.

"Bring it on, bitch" spoke the reporter getting in Bella's face.

Derek and Rick both wincing at this knew the woman had just put the final nail in the coffin and things were about to go down.

"Hey Man, hold this for me please" said Bella shrugging off her leather jacket and handing it to the monkey who took it before placing a hand over his eyes.

"Oh shit" mumbled Paul.

Suddenly before anyone knew it Bella had swung out her fist connecting it to Constance left cheek causing the woman's head to snap to the side at the impact. Bella then threw out her foot sending Constance flying backwards on the floor, to which she used this time to grab a chunk of her hair dragging the reporter out the dressing room kicking and screaming with everyone beside Paul watching in amusement as the woman did her best to fight back but it was a useless battle because Bella was not letting go.

Upon getting to the front of the club Dennis and Lonny (who had just stepped out the office) both heard the commotion and got quite the shock seeing Izzy pulling a woman along the floor like a sack of potatoes.

"Hello hello what's all this then Iz?" asked Lonny feeling intrigued to know what the deal was.

"Oh this?" questioned Bella coming to a stop beside them and gesturing to Constance, "nothing really just simply taking out the trash" she smirked.

"Can someone please get this psycho off of me!" shouted Constance scratching at the girl's hand.

"Annnd on that note" said Bella continuing on to the door.

Once they were on the front Bella made sure Constance was a good distance away from the club before harshly releasing her.

"Let this be a warning to you. If you ever dare to darken these doors again then believe me this will seem like nothing compared to how I will make you suffer should you come within breathing distance of my friends or me again. Stay away from Stacee, he's a good guy" threatened Bella.

She went to walk away only Constance wasn't done as she got up from the floor. "This coming from a girl who got dumped by her fiancé because she was too busy sleazing around?" she shouted.

Bella freezing in her tracks swiftly turned on the spot.

"What the hell did you just say?" she asked in a dangerous tone.

"Yeah, I do my research. Let me guess good looking rock star has it all, the money the fame and you just had to be a part of that world but forgot about your own commitments along the way. Must have been some interview. What did it take? A blow job? Or the full monty?" asked Constance with a smug expression.

At that point Bella loosing all rational thought was about to launch herself at Constance but suddenly felt a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her waist.

"Whoa! Calm down!"

She heard whoever was holding her back say.

"LET GO OF ME! I'M GONNA KILL THIS BITCH!" yelled Bella.

She thrashed her body about shrieking and growling as she tried to escape her prisoner who was now dragging her away from Constance.

"You'd only regret it later" said the mystery person.

"WOULD I FUCK! LET ME GO!"

That was when her captor decided enough was enough and threw her over their shoulder returning to the club with the hell fired angel.

"PUT ME DOWN GOD DAMN IT! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" Bella yelled beating her fists against the persons back.

"Someone who loves you and doesn't want to see you get hurt".

Those words spoken Bella suddenly forgot all about her anger and cranked her head round at the familiar voice to see the face of her cousin staring back at her.

"Drew?"

"Hey Hell's Bell's" smiled Drew placing Bella on her feet.

"What are you doing here?" asked Bella returning the gesture.

"Ouch, cut to the quick and I don't even get a hug" said Drew pretending to feel hurt.

Bella rolling her eyes grinned before throwing her arms around her beloved cousin whom she hadn't seen since her parent's funerals after he and his mother her aunt Vanessa (Renee's sister) had moved to New York.

"I missed you so much" she said.

"I missed you too Hell's" spoke Drew into her shoulder.

"But seriously" said Bella pulling back, "what are you doing in L.A?".

"I've got a gig here tonight and it was a just a coincidence that I bumped into you" said Drew.

"You sing?" asked Bella taken back by this news.

"This surprises you?" he asked.

"I just never took you for the singing type, I mean I knew you were always a rock star on the guitar but..." she trailed off not wanting to dig herself any further into a grave.

"Sort of got into it over the years and it kind of took off from there. I even got a stage name for myself and my band" said Drew.

"Lets here it" said Bella excitedly.

"Wolfgang Von Colt" spoke Drew proudly.

Bella standing there for a moment pressed her lips into a line.

"Wolfgang Von Colt" she said repeating his words.

"Yeah"

Bella trying not to laugh just went with it for her cousin's sake.

"Okay" she said.

"What?" he asked seeing the amused expression on her face.

"Nothing, nothing at all. Come with me" said Bella taking her cousins hand to guide him backstage.

"Where are we going?" asked Drew.

"You'll see" smirked Bella.

She knew her cousin had the passion for rock n roll just as much as she did, if not more so this would be quite the treat for him to meet the god of rock himself.

Approaching the dress room she saw Rick and Derek guarding the door as usual and as they saw her coming both men burst into a set of grins.

"Izzzy"

"Bad ass"

Spoke the guys raising their hands as Bella high five them.

"Hell yeah" she smiled.

Just as Bella went to walk passed them she noticed that both men were about to stop Drew when she intervened.

"It's cool guys he's with me" she said.

Trusting her judgment the security guards nodded allowing the young man through and upon entering the room Bella spotted the girls talking at the mini bar whilst Stacee was slouched against the couch talking with Paul who looked to be giving him hell as usual.

"Is that...who I think it is" stuttered Drew going wide eyed as he spotted the rock star.

"You bet it is" grinned Bella.

"Holy shit"

Chuckling at her cousin's jaw dropped expression Bella placed her hands on his shoulders maneuvering him over to Stacee.

"Hey hey hey you know the rules no boyfriends back stage" spoke Paul scolding her.

"One he's not my boyfriend and two there never was such a rule so do us all a favour Paul and go fuck yourself" Bella bit back at the man.

Stacee chuckling at this comment felt himself get rock hard all over again. Hell has no fury like a woman's scorn, and Bella was definitely scorning.

"Anyway before you ruined the moment" spoke Bella sending ice cold daggers Paul's way before turning to face her boss. "Stacee I'd like you to meet my friend Drew, Drew meet the one and only Stacee Jaxx".

"How you doing kid?" said Stacee leaning forward to shake Drew's hand.

"It's an a honor Mr. Jaxx, really. Your music is a work of art, its the greatest thing to happen to rock since the rolling stones" said Drew smiling at the man feeling completely star struck.

"Well I do my best but thanks" said Stacee.

"Drew here's informed me that he's gonna be performing at the club tonight" added Bella patting her cousins shoulder.

"Really? What do you do?" asked Stacee.

"I'm a singer slash song writer" said Drew.

"What do you call yourself?"

"Wolfgang Von Colt" smiled Drew.

Bella biting down on her fist had to once again stop herself from braking into a fit of laughter as she saw the look on Stacee's face that said 'you can't be serious'.

"Wolfgang Von Colt?" questioned Stacee with one eyebrow raised.

"Yeah"

Right then Hey Man blew a loud raspberry causing Drew to frown at him for this sudden outburst wondering what that was all about.

"And your sticking with that?" asked Stacee.

"Yeah"

"Okay then" said Stacee failing to hide his humored expression.

"What?" asked Drew.

"Nothing I didn't say anything" grinned Stacee.

'Am I missing something here? What's everyone's joke?' Drew mentally asked himself.

"Alright well it was nice of you to drop by kid but we have a show to rehearse so if you wouldn't mind just..."

"Leaving him alone before I smack you Paul that would be great" spoke Bella hands on hips.

"Listen here you little..."

Paul started but was cut off by a cold look from Stacee that told him to zip his mouth or face undying consequences.

"What was that Paul? I didn't hear you" said Bella sarcastically cupping her right ear.

The pissed off manager saying nothing simply stood there biting his tongue.

"Well how about that? Once again the rat has ceased its irritating squeaking" smirked Bella crossing her arms over her chest in victory.

"I'm guessing the two of you aren't the best of buddy's huh?" asked Drew gesturing to both Paul and Bella.

"Faaaar from the word. Paul likes to think he's the top dog and that he can order me around when he seems to forget that it was Stacee who hired me not him" said Bella.

"Speaking of which remind me what position you took up again, I remember you telling me you're his assistant but after the show you put on outside anyone would think you're a prone wrestler or something" smugly spoke Drew.

"Hey now the bitch had it coming to her, she played dirty and got what she deserved" shrugged Bella.

"That much I could tell, though if I hadn't intervened when I did she'd probably be lying in a hospital bed and you would be sitting in jail" said Drew.

"Believe me it would have been worth it" said Bella silently wishing she'd had time to show Constance exactly why her family gave her the nickname Hell's Bell's.

Basically because she could kick just about anyone's ass without so much as breaking a sweat.

She recalled a specific day back when she was in high school a jock had tried to feel her up against the lockers but having taken up defense classes she'd nailed the guy straight in his man sack before braking his nose with her fist. To say the least she'd gotten herself suspended but had never apologized for doing what the boy's parents had failed to, and that was teaching the ancient art of manners as well as consequence.

Hell's Bell's - AC DC

(Drew)

She's a rolling thunder, pouring rain

Bella grinning at this remembered the song Drew had written about her a few years back.

(Bella)

I'm coming on like a hurricane

My lightning's flashing across the sky

Feeling herself come undone once more she began moving her hips to the music.

(Drew)

Your only young but you're gonna die

(Bella)

I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives

Nobody's putting up a fight

Yes I'm Bell and I'm gonna take you to hell

She sang holding out her arms.

(Drew)

She's gonna get cha

(Bella)

Oh I'll get cha

(Both)

Hell's Bell's!

At the chorus Bella and Drew both pumped their fists up in the air grinning like idiots.

(Bella)

You got me ringing

(Both)

Hell's Bell's!

(Bella)

My temperatures high

Running her hand seductively down her neck Bella's eyes then flickered to the rock star.

(Both)

Hell's Bell's

(Bella)

I'll give you black sensations up and down you're spine

She stalked up to Stacee who in return just stood completely still as Bella begun circling him running her hands over his shoulder down his spine before he felt her give his ass a pinch in time to see his assistant throw him a wink shocking the living shit out of him.

If you're into evil you're a friend of mine

(Drew)

See the white light flashing as she split's the night

(Bella)

Cause if it's good on the left then I'm sticking to the right

I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives

She threw a dirty look in Paul's direction.

(Drew)

Nobody's putting up a fight

Grabbing Bella's hand Drew twirled her to him causing his cousin to smirk as he dipped her whilst holding her right leg to his hip. Though someone else did not like this one bit.

(Bella)

Yes I'm Bell and I'm gonna take you to hell

As he slowly brought her back up Paul out the corner of his eye saw a look in Stacee's face that made him frown and as he followed the rock stars gaze it didn't take him two minutes to work out what was going on here. 'Oh no' he thought, 'really Stace? Seriously?'

(Drew)

She's gonna get cha

(Bella)

Oh I'll get cha

She pointed to Drew.

(Back up girls)

Hell's Bell's!

(Bella)

You got me ringing

She pulled Drew over to the bar by his shirt before gently motioning him down to his knees so he was on all fours.

(Bella/Drew/Backup girls)

Hell's Bell's!

(Bella)

My temperatures high

Bella then placing her foot on his back climbed up onto the bar running her hands through her hair before throwing her head back.

(Both)

Hell's Bell's!

The two cousins whooping as they finished the song began laughing along with each other at a job well done.

"That was so awesome!" cheered Bella.

"You don't have to tell me baby I was there" teased Drew as the back up girls suddenly begun groping him up, much to his…ahem…enjoyment.

Paul noting that the look of what he now knew to be jealousy still hadn't vanished from Stacee's eyes saw this as an opportunity. There was obviously something more going on between the rock star and that little bitch of his so why not use this to his advantage? Raise the stakes if you will. Protect one reputation whilst burning another to a cinder, it would be like killing two birds with one stone.

And by the time it was over neither would know what hit them.

Author's Note: O oh what's Paul up to now? Watch out Bella and Stacee a curve ball's heading your way.

What do you think Paul is gonna do? Let me know.
