AN : I suck as a FF writer and I am sorry life is kicking my ass right now and I rewrote this chapter 3 times none of them seemed to flow the way that I wanted or needed them to I make no promises to when the next chapter will come out but I will promise it will. After Tokyo there will be an epilogue and I may write a sequel and maybe not y'all tell me what you want. Thank you as always for your reviews, favorites, and even you lurkers who just read! Twilight belongs to Stephanie Meyer the only thing I own is the plot.
Jasper POV
Killing in my life was normal thing to do and yes I do understand how that sounds. But I saw my first dead body at 7 I had walked in to my father's "office" one day I had come home early from school, there was my dad wiping his knife clean of blood. I remember the look on my fathers face when he looked up and saw me standing there, he had a man strapped to a chair head lulled forward. "Son this is what happens when people are not truthful in this life you or I neither one are exempt from that." He had set the example for me on how to be a man and today that meant to kill a man who posed a great danger to my family and I could not let that continue I have to take my place at the head of my family.
Sitting in the car across from where I had told Santiago to meet me knowing that I will get out of this car and watch the light leave his eyes. I am ready to get this over with and for this trip to be done. I watch as a car pulls up in front of the building but no one gets out of the car. Opening the car door and sliding out I start toward the car slow and steady watching as Santiago stands to his full height I round the car and he makes eye contact as I reach for his arm and pull him into me and jab my knife deep into where his kidney lays. He grunts in my ear and I say, "You knew that this had to happen they wont get you to the hospital there is no one here to save you."
I sit Santiago down on the sidewalk to bleed out and watch as the life leaves Santiago. Searching his pockets I take everything that could make him easily identifiable and walk to my car. Climbing behind the wheel I know that now I must kill a woman that does not deserve to die but is only now a shell of who she was. Pulling up at the house that I know Santiago and Jessica have been staying at I kill the car on the street and walk up to the door. All of the lights are off in the house and I reach for the door handle and find the door unlocked. I can hear a TV from down the hall other than that the house is silent. Pushing the door then rest of the way open I see Jessica laying on the bed naked with a needle in her arm. I am putting her out of her misery by doing this and I will be honest with Bella about this. Covering her face with a pillow I put my gun to her temple and pull the trigger.
Walking to the car I start to feel a sense of relief that I can now go back to the families and take my rightful place. Driving has always been a fairly thought less process for me and I realize that I don't drive much anymore. Pulling up to the large villa that holds my future I almost feel anxious which is not something I am used to feeling.
Walking in the door I can hear my father, Charlie and some of the other members talking and I can smell the cigar smoke from here. Crossing into the dining room the men grow quiet and all eyes turn to me in question I nod my head in answer. As we sit around the table and the men I have respected and feared my whole life pat me on the back and welcome me to this family of men who will do whatever it takes to protect the people they love. The only thing truly left to do is to go get my wife and take her home. My father and Charlie both stand after they are done talking and turn from the room as I sit in front of Aro.
" Siamo orgogliosi di avere si esegue la famiglia Whitlock. Fai i tuoi ansestors fiero giovane uomo."(We are proud to have you run the Whitlock family. Do your ansestors proud young man.) Aro says to me as he stands and holds his hand out to me. I nod and walk from the room to find my father waiting for me and he grabs me and hugs me tight and I hug him back knowing that everything between us will work out. Charlie comes around the corner about the time my father steps back from his hug. "Y'all ready to get out of here?"
Bella's POV
"Get back away from the door!" Alec screams and I feel his tug on my shirt before the door crashes open and a tall Italian man is standing there with a gun between his eyes. Alec tells him "Mettere le mani su" in his smooth ice cold voice as my brother rounds the corner asking in gruff Italian what the hell is going on, Elizabeth walks in and screeches out that this is the man that delivers the grocery once a week and to get the gun out of his face. After we get said man out of the house with a stiff bribe and apology I have to sit and laugh about what has just happened, because who in the hell does this actually happen to.
For dinner we decide for an American style barbecue which hamburgers, potato salad, corn on the cob the whole works. Sitting outside with my family was nice I had missed these normal things with all of the crazy things that had been going on in my life recently. Alec gets up suddenly and walks inside, sometimes that man just needs to learn to relax but I thankful for his attentiveness because without him I would be dead. Having Alec is bittersweet for me because I may have never gotten to know him if Garrett would have survived and I miss Garrett and our friendship so much. The melancholy that I feel is swept away when I look back at the coming footsteps and see the face that I have been missing so much.
1 week later
Dressed in a floor length midnight blue lace sheath dress and matching shoes I am happy with the woman that I see in the mirror. Tonight is the night of our party and I am glad it has already been a success but I am also ready for it to be done. A light knock on the door and Esme comes in "Hello my darling you look absolutely amazing Jasper will not know what has hit him." I smile at her knowing that she is right Jasper is going to lose his mind my dress is sheer on the top with lace over my breasts and a deep v almost to my belly button and completely backless.
"Thank you for all of your help Esme I really do appreciate it. I am not sure if I could have done all of this without you." Esme pats my shoulder leans down and kisses my cheek. "Well sweet girl it is time for you and your husband to make your entrance he will be waiting at the end of the hall come when you are ready." I smile at Esme and nod. Walking to my closet and the jewelry box that is built in grabbing the beautiful teardrop diamond that Jasper bought me as a wedding gift and clasp it on it is simple but it is what I love.
Spraying on Jaspers favorite scent and leaving our room to walk down the hall toward the music that was already playing softly. I see my husband leaning against the wall at the end of the hall and I can't wait for him to look up and see the look on his face. Tonight is for him even if only the family knows it we have set it up as a fundraiser but really this party is to celebrate my husbands new position in his family and by proxy mine as well. I get almost to Jasper before he looks up at me, and man that expression was worth every second of the wait. "Hey handsome are you waiting for me?" I say to him when his eyes finally meet mine.
"Oh yes wife you are everything that I have been waiting my whole life for." He says grabbing my hand and pulling me into him and burying his face in my neck kissing and nipping at the soft spot under my ear and he knows what that does to me. Grabbing my hand and kissing my palm and placing my hand in the crook of his arm. "Come my wife it is time to show you off."
Parties have never been my thing really I would rather read a book in a quite room in my comfy clothes. However being on the arm of Jasper making our rounds through a thousand or so guests between the indoor set up and the tent on the lawn. I had a glass of champagne in my hand and my husband on my arm. Most of the people in this room should be on a wanted poster in multiple countries of the world but for Jasper and I they were family and friends. This night was worth all of the stress in planning we had raised a cool 3 million dollars tonight and celebrated our family till the early hours. Jane had been in attendance but had behaved herself rather well she had a date with her and he seemed nice. I had called Jessica multiple times in the last week to no avail and if I couldn't get ahold of her soon I would go by her place. We were laying in bed Jasper had gotten so drunk that he had not pealed me from my lace dress as I had hoped but there was always tomorrow. Our pending trip to Tokyo excited me I had never been to the far east as papa did no business there so it would be fun. Turning over and sliding under Jaspers arm and laying my head on his chest and he mumbles a bit in his sleep and slides his hand down my back.
Jasper is a ray of hungover sunshine I find the out when I offer him a cup of coffee and get grumbled at. He spends most of the locked in his office and I spend the day curled up in the library reading a romance about a race car driver. Jasper comes in silently and when I look up he is staring at me with one side of his mouth turned up into an almost grin.
"See something you like cowboy?" I ask with as much sass as I possibly can into the five words because honestly I am a bit peeved by him today.
"I see a woman who is mine and she has been short all day after leaving me cold in our bed this morning. There should be against that my darling woman. I am sorry that I have been an asshole today, I drank to much last night letting my pride fuel my drinking. Then when I woke up without you in bed this morning I was pretty pissed at myself because I wanted to painstakingly remove that dress from you last night."
"Well my dear husband what will you be doing to make up for your rotten attitude today."
"My wife you are about to find out." Jasper says and stands languidly from the seat he has taken across from me and I can see the predatory look in his glacier blue eyes.
