Chapter 21

Bella's POV

Once Edward had gone i now waited for the torture i made on others. they said they wanted the information i knew which information they needed, one's which could hurt the families, black mail the families. When i said i knew all of the secrets i didn't just mean our family. i knew the secrets of all mafia families.

i heard the stell doors and reveal the bastard which hurt me before, i was glad Edward was gone, i didn't need to worry about him becuase i knew he was safe

"Where's the other one" he shouted, looking at the chains where they had effortlessly tried to keep Edward

"Other what?" i tilted my head and pretended to not know who he was talking about

"You know who!" he grabbed my neck "where's the boy?"

i shrugged and he got the whip from the side to his my back i closed my eyes and focused on something else

Flashback

i was doing my work when i caught glimpse on Edward, he was looking at me but when i looked up he blushed and looked down, it had been one week since our 'wedding' and we hadn't had chance to see each other yet. i wanted to tell him about the thing i saw but i didn't know how, how could i tell him something like that? i shook the thoughts aside and carried on with my work, our teacher Mrs. Polly had decided to let us go to lunch early, i felt a peace of paper sneak it's way into my hands and it said

Meet me near the park swings - E

i looked up at Edward and he smiled, i blushed and i heard him chuckle.

AT THE SWINGS

Edward was pushing me up more so it felt like i was flying i leaned my head back and pointed my legs forward i saw Edward laugh behind me as he stood on the ground and waited for me to return to him, i was glad we were together like this, that is until it was all spoilt

"Isabella Marie Swan you get off that swing now and come here" i recognized my fathers angry voice and i tried my best to stop, but with me being so high i had to gradually slow myself so my body was entirely stilled. until eventually i came to a stop i heard my father speak to Edward

"Don't go near my daughter again, Cullen" he snarled to the 5 year old boy who was clearly upset and outraged we couldn't talk ever again. my daddy held my hand and pulled me out of the park, i took one last look at Edward and blew him a kiss he smiled sadly and waved and blew me a kiss as well

End of flashback

He had stopped hurting me and my senses were everywhere, i couldn't really register the fact i might die here, i kept on thinking of my family of how i betrayed them but never once doubting my love for Edward, the one person who i truly loved. i closed my eyes and went to my happy place as he started to slash my back with a knife i wouldn't cry, that was what was chanting through my head as i thought of my favorite place with Edward.

We would get married and raise our children somewhere quiet, somewhere , where no-one would be able to find us and having the peace of mind of non of our three children ever getting hurt. o how i wish that would come true but i knew now, even though i hate to admit it, my time might be over as i saw a gun at the other side of the table, which wasn't there before.

"My boss says i have to kill you at 5:00, it's 4:30 now little girl so start saying your hail Mary's for forgiveness for your sins" he laughed and walked out of the room again. the tears which were wanting to come out of my eyes were just at the edge but i couldn't cry, i wouldn't cry. i've spent my life thinking to myself to be strong for everyone around me and look where that's go me, i've been strong for everyone apart for myself, the secrets i have held were useless now no-one would know. but i would have liked to have told my family and Edward's family of the secret which drove us all apart from our best friends. i drifted my thoughts to Edward and wished him safety now.

Edward's POV

My heart thumped against my chest as i approached my house i didn't even think i just leapt into my house and found my mother and father sitting at the sofa

"Edward, where the hell..." my father started but i didn't have time for this

"I found where they are but we need to go now becuase they might move"

"Stay here with Alice" Carlisle got up and grabbed his guns i saw our cousin and his friends from other mafia families come down and saw what was going on, they already had their guns and we got in my car. we sped back to the destination, explaining everything along the way

"Isabella Swan is there, why?" my cousin asked

"Becuase apparently she knows information which can be useful to them which means it may cause even more problems fro us" i tried to sound like i was caring for whatever secrets were in my family than i did for my Bella, god i hope she's alright, if she's in any worse condition then i left her i'll kill all of them with my bare hands, i just hope we were on time

Bella's POV

The sound of my breathing was the only thing which echoed in the room. the load noise of the metal doors opened and in entered the guy who was about to kill me

"5:00 little girl" he grabbed the gun and walked towards me, he put the gun to my head "Any last words"

"I'll save you a seat in hell" i spat at him and he growled, he readied the gun and as he put his finger on the trigger i heard some shootings somewhere else. Edward. was all i thought, he had managed to come back in time the man left me, not bothering to lock the door behind him anymore, someone shot him and i saw it was Edward

"Bella" he sighed, he ran up to me and undid the chins using the gun for help "O, i'm so sorry i left you here" her kissed my bruised lips and i whimpered becuase of the pain "Sorry, come on let's go" he picked me up bridal style and ran us out of the room. that was the last thing i remember before falling into the darkness.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Bella? can you here us?"

"Maybe we should get her to a hospital" i heard a girls voice say, Rosalie?

"Hang on, her eys are opening"

i opened my eyes to the bright surroundings and flinched "God that's bright" i moaned i heard a sigh of relief and knew it was Edward, but he was distant, where were we?

"Bella, your home" i saw my dad at the side, i sat up and realized someone had changed me

"I did the changing" i looked up and Rose really was there "I managed to get the horrible stuff done from your back"

i flinched again as i realized the pain in my back was worse, my hair fell across my shoulders and i looked up and saw Edward at the corner looking like he was about to cry, i sat up and walked to him

"Bella, where are you going" i ignored Emmett's question and stood in front of Edward i looked at him lovingly and his eyes shown understanding, he smiled a bit i tip toed and kissed his lips

"WHAT THE HELL!" everyone roared i tangled my fingers into Edward's hair and he held his hands on my hips lightly, i loved him more for knowing every part of my body, which parts hurt and which didn't. we pulled away and i turned to our shock families our hands were entwined

"Isabella how dare you" My father shouted "How long has this been going on!" he demanded

"About a month" god was it really a month already? "But i think it's time everyone knows the truth of why this family has been at war" i said

"O please tell us then Isabella, of why you and my son have been seeing each other for the past month"

"Don't talk to her like that" Edward hissed but i held his arm so he couldn't go any further

"Of all people i would have expected you to know of things being forbidden Carlisle"

"And what's that suppose to mean?"

"I'm speaking of yours and Renee's affair"

Please review and i'll update on the same day :)
