"Hey Mum. I brought you something to eat." I said.

"Thank you but I am not hungry."

"Mum you have to eat. Dad would want you to."

"How do you know what he would WANT?" She snapped. "He's laying in a bed and only god knows when he will wake up."

"Mum the doctors said his hart is a little strained now but he will heal perfectly fine and rest is what he needs now."

"Edward your father and I have been married for almost thirty years. My life won't be the same if I lose him."

"You are not going to lose him. We have the best possible doctor for him." I replied. "Please eat the food. I'll be back after I drop that painting off at the museum."

"Go home. I want time alone with my husband and you or Alice have always been here."

"Are you sure Mum?" I asked.

"Yes." She replied.

"Okay I'll give you and dad space but you better call me if something happens with him." I paused. "And call me if you want anything for yourself."

"I will."

I kissed her on the cheek, grabbed my bag and went to pick up the painting so I didn't miss my appointment.

BellaPOV

The last few days with the Dunn women had been surprisingly easy to get through. I was just waiting for the hammer to drop and smash the peace to pieces. I had just put the cleaning supplies away after cleaning the house from the top to the very bottom for the third time this week.

"Isabella."

"Is there something you needed Tanya?" I asked as sweet as possible.

"Nothing really I was just wondering why your bags are packed."

"I just packed them when I do a full cleaning so nothing gets lost. I do leave in a few months after all." I replied. "It also allows me to see if I need to buy another bag or not. Right now I don't."

"Oh well you know mother would prefer if you focus on the house out side of the servents quarters." Tanya said.

"I did over an hour ago. Is there anything else you need because I have appointment to keep."

"Not at the moment but keep your phone on you I need you at some point."

"It'll be on vibrate because where I am going it's rude to have the volume turned up."

"Library where else would a nerd go." Tanya said.

"We go lots of places." I grabbed my bag and headed for the door. "And some of them wouldn't allow a girl like you in its doors."

I had an hour to get to the museum. I stopped for a quick bite to eat before making my way there. They had just opened the doors to the public when I arrived.

EdwardPOV

I was shown to the curators office the moment I steeped on to museum property. I did not let my grandfathers painting leave my side. I could carry it myself after all.

"The Duke of Warwickshire glad to see you." The man greeted.

"Just call me Edward." I replied.

"Okay Edward. Would you like to get down to business?"

"Business I have other places to be."

I sat down in the only other chair in the mans office. His assistant tried to remove the painting but I kept a tight grip on in.

"It's not yours. So keep your hands off." I snapped.

Thepainting was the first thing my grandfather bought when he and my grandmother married. He wanted to live off only his navy salary until he be came the duke of Warwickshire. It was a family legend that it was a Vangouh. The style was similar but the essence wasn't quite up to the level of his other paintings. My grandmother and father didn't care who painted it they loved the picture.

"This is the contract we've had drawn up for you."

I took a few moments to read through the contract. I agreed with all but one item within it.

"What is with the death clause?" I asked.

"What do you mean? I didn't put that there."

"It states that if I die before the end of contract the painting will remain with the museum for 100 years."

"Oh that."

"You know what I think I will keep this painting. I'll find a better place for it. Maybe even create one myself. My grandfather was an avid art collector after all."

"You may do as you please."

I left that man in his office without shaking his hand. I was determined to open my own museum if I have to. I left the little museum that my grandfather had listed in his will along with a few others but no one knew why. I figured it was to display the art but the other museums had closed down. I guess I would have to look into the more well known museums.

I had made it out the front doors when I bumped into some one. I turned to face them and apologize. I was happy to that it was Bella.

BellaPOV

"Edward wow what are you doing here?" I asked.

"I was planning to loan a painting to them but the contract to be Heavy sided in their favor." Edward replied.

"Oh what museum would you say I should see?"

"While this place has a few good pieces but it would only take you five minutes to look at them all. The Museaum of London could possibly hold your attention for the entire day."

"Thanks for the tip." I replied. "Would you like to join me or do you have to get back to your father?"

"My mother has ordered me to stay away for a few hours. She wants some time alone with my dad."

"Can't blame her. She did just almost loose the love of her life."

"Do you mind if I join you?"

"Not at all." I replied. "Would you be able to give me a ride?"

"It would be rude of me not to after inviting myself."

"You didn't invite your self." I replied.

"You want to go now or another day because it takes about two and half hours depending on traffic."

"They don't open until ten and that two hours from now. I'd say perfect timing. No waiting for the doors to open."

Edward and I spent the two and half hour ride to the museum getting to know each other. We finally had a proper conversation since that picture of him and I appeared in the paper.

Once we got to the museum Edward took me to see his favorite pieces while we stopped every now and then to look at the pieces that caught my attention, which ended up being almost everything inside the building.

"Edward why don't you see about setting up a showing of your grandfathers art collection here?" I suggested. "They have several temporary galleries."

"My grandfather had a list in his will."

"Were they in his will or in a bunch of papers that came with it?" I asked.

"It was in the papers that came with it."

"Then maybe it was a list of places he didn't want his art to go or maybe they had pieces displayed already."

"Every pice of art he bought has been accounted for mainly because he had bequeathed them in his will."

"Then I guess he didn't want them at those places then."

"I guess your right then."

"I've been told that a time or two. Now why don't you take me through all these galleries and tell me what items you think your grandfather would buy." I replied.

"I think we would be here all day then." Edward said.

"Sounds like a good idea to me." I replied.

Edward then took me by the hand and guided me through the galleries. We spent a few minutes looking at each display and stayed longer at the displays that held our attention. Most of those displays reminded Edward of pieces that his grandfather had bought.

TanyaPOV

"Mum can you tell me where the car Isabella is useing today is located?"

"Why do you need to know that I thought you were going to London?" She asked in a clipped tone.

"I would but my driver let the car get impounded." I said. "Something about parking in a fire zone."

"The car is parked at The Warwick Gallery and Museaum." She replied. "Be sure to arrive home on time."

"Will do." I said.

I quickly hung up my phone and headed to the gallery. I was very happy that the gallery was just down the street from where i had called my Mum. I quickly found Isabella's driver standing by the back side of the car smoking a cigarette. I walked right up to him.

"I need you to take me home." I told him.

"I'm waiting for Isabella to finish."

"Oh dear she forgot to text you. She said that I could have you drive me home since she was getting a ride with a friend."

EdwardPOV

"Excuse me sir the gallery is closing. You and your guest will have to exit the building at this time."

"Its six already. It feels like we just got here."

"Almost ma'am. I believe the time is five fifty four pm."

"Edward I have to get back to the car."

"The car is sitting right out siding the parking lot."

"Not your car but the one that drove me to the museum in Warwickshire."

"Okay I can get you there. Just please calm down or you will be visiting the emergency room."

Bella cracked a smile as I walked her passed the employees and out of the museum and stright to my car. I helped her into the passenger seat. I took a few minutes to calm her down a little more. I climbed into the drivers seat once I was sure Bella wasn't going to pass out on me. I jumped into the drivers seat and quickly made my way to the museaum in Warwickshire. Bella fell asleep during the drive so i had to wake her up once we arrived. That started a whole another freak out on Bella's part.

"Bella calm down your ar mumbling so much that i can not under stand what you are saying."

"The driver and the car are gone."

"Call him. See if he moved the car somewhere else. Maybe he went and got something to eat." I said.

Bella mumbled something else and walked away to make the call. She passed back and fourth as she talked to the driver. She looked like she was on the verge of mother bout of tears when she hung up.

"Bella what's wrong?" I asked.

"He's gone and he is not coming back. It's past the end of his shift."

"Why did he leave when he knew you were coming back?" I asked.

"Because Tanya told him that i was getting a ride home with friends so he could take her home." Bella said. "I dont know how I am gonna get home."

"I can take you home. My place is in the same direction."

"I cant ask you to do that."

"Bella my house is only fifteen minutes away from the Dunn house."

"At least let me pay for gas." Bella replied.

"Donate it to a worthy charity. I don't need the money."

A short drive later i was pulling up to the Dunn House.

"Thanks for driving me back." Bella said.

"It was no problem." I replied. "Do you need anything?"

"No but thanks anyway."

I watched as Bella collected her things. She didn't have much with her but she was slow about getting them together.

"Are you okay?" I asked. "You dont have to go in there if you dont want to. Alice has told me stuff is going down but she wouldn't say what it was. She told me that you would have to tell me."

"She is correct but this isn't something i want to talk about right now."

"I would hope that at some point in the future that yo..."

Before I knew what i was doing I had leaned forward over the gearshift of the car and kissed Bella. I pulled away to see a look that I had no hope of decoding on her face. She clutched her things to her chest and bolted out of the car and into the house before i could even get my seat belt off.

I left my seat belt on and drove home since the hospitals visiting hours would be over by the time i got to the hospital.
