Chapter 22
''Edward….Edward, Baby please. please wake up'' Bella, my love. I could hear her calling me but couldn't see her, my eyes were heavy & my head was throbbing. I slowly open my eyes to find myself tied to a chair in our Bedroom & saw Bella tied to the bedposts tears streaming down her face as she stared at me.
'' Ahh the Rat King awakens...tell me how many 'damsels in distress' have you rescued by now. I have to say it's genius… you rescue pretty young girls from men like me & make them feel sorry for you so you have a crib to sleep, eat & fuck a warm pussy & move onto the next… just Genius''.
James…
I try to yell at him but my mouth is gagged, Bella's crying hard, her face is bruised & swollen… Bella baby.
'' you know I don't like being left to lay slumped in a stinking alley while you run off with my prize, didn't your parents ever tell you to share….do you even have parents? Hmm?'' I grimace, the image of their bodies lying cold on the floor , my mother's screams flashing through my brain.
''What they didn't buy you that choo choo train you wanted for Christmas so you ran away hahaha'' pain stabs my heart but all I can think of is getting him away from Bella.
I have to get untied, im going to rip him apart. God what else has he done to her…. He walks slowly over to her laying on the bed…don't even think about it asshole!
''we've been waiting for you to get home, didn't want you to miss the show afterall did we Princess.'' My muffled snarl come's through the cloth around my mouth as my hands try vigorously to get free.
He stands by the bed & leans over her ripping her Blouse open…That's all it takes for me to stand up with the chair still tied to my wrists much looser than before but still not free, I run at James Breaking the chair against his back. He growls & slams into me sending me sprawling across the floor. ''Edward..oh god…oh god ..oh god''
I pull the gag down from my mouth as we exchange punches,hitting him with a piece of wood still attached to the rope on my wrist & he rams his fist in my face almost knocking me unconscious again. I grab the vase from the dresser & smash it over his head.
Dazing him for a moment so I can regain myself , I run at James for the second time knocking him down on the floor & begin to choke the fuck out of him. ''what makes you THINK you can touch my wife, huh! , you're a disgusting fuck.''
Flashes from the first night he attacked Bella racing through my mind…his taunting….his smell..his face - im breathing heavily anger & adrenaline flowing through my veins & causing my whole body to tremble I can hear Bella saying something to me … but nothing registers… all I can think about is James & finishing him. His face is turning blue & I continue to strangle him until his body is completely still & Lifeless….
everythings quite...even our Breathing has gone silent
''Baby'' I look to Bella she's breathing hard now & shaking…her eyes wide as she stares at me unsurely. I untie her from the bed & stroke her face.
''is he?..'' - ''yes, sssh sssh everything will be alright.''
Charlie's outside talking to the cops to find out what happened exactly, while I hold tightly onto Bella soothing her & stroking her back. Even though James was a fucked up piece of shit Dirtbag …one who hurt the most precious thing in my life- I can't believe I just took the life of another human Being, all my time on the streets I've had many bad things done to me…things not even Bella knows, but I've never wanted to harm someone as much as I did James in that moment.
Charlie steps into the room with a grim look on his face & staring at me angrily. ''Bella I need you to go with Detective Black here to make a statement, me & Edward need to have a little chat''
''ok Dad….'' she gets up from beside me sniffling & walks away.
only to turn back & look at me ''Edward?'' – ''go I'll be fine'' I give her a smile like everything's alright…knowing that something Bad is about to happen. she walks off with the detective & I feel the loss already.
Charlies Nostril's are flaring '' you have 5 seconds to tell me exactly who you are right now, the truth this time would be appreciated!... & what your intentions are with my Daughter. There is not one Record of you, no previous Address? No Social security Number? Nothing…zilch…Nada! So enlighten me son cos the only reason your not already on your way to the station is because I asked them to let me talk to you first.'' he stares pointedly at me.
''Renee also told me a few things when I called her to let her know about Bella…but frankly I'd rather hear it from you, so you Better start talking.''
The lump forming in my throat makes it hard to swallow, That's it- it's over. I've lost her …he's never going to let Bella be with me.
