Chapter 37
Come on now, who do you

Who do you, who do you

Who do you think you are?

Ha ha ha, bless your soul

You really think you're in control?

Bella's eyes were fixated on the necklace dangling from Edward's hands. An odd feeling washed over her and she tried her best to remain calm. "What have you done?" The question had barely escaped her lips before she regretted asking. The look Edward gave her caused an unsettling in her gut, and for her breath to hitch. Bella felt her vision swim as she became lightheaded. "What have you done?" She screamed at him, losing her composure at the thought of something happening to her child.

Edward dropped the locket into her lap and placed a finger over her mouth to silence her. "The shorter list is what haven't I done, Isabella." He removed the finger and the smirk fell from his face. Edward leaned in so close that Bella could feel his hot breath flush her face. "I've made your life hell." He growled before seizing her hair in his hand and pulling her towards him roughly. "Just like you made mine."

"I didn't do anything to you!" Bella winced from the pain but stared into Edward's angry eyes. "I loved you!"

"LIAR!" Edward hissed at her and dug his fingers into her roots. "Because of you I went to jail! I lost my company and you ruined my life!" Edward's fist clenched tightly and he looked at her with murderous intent. "You ruined my life. You ruined me…" He paused and looked down at the locket in her lap. "So now I must return the favor."

Bella didn't like where this was heading. Edward sounded like a man with nothing left to lose. When someone has nothing left to lose, they will do anything. Not only was she fearful of her child's life but now her own. "Edward," Bella began, trying to get a hold of the situation.

Her words snapped Edward back to reality and his grip tightened. "You deserve everything that I've done." Edward paused and a sadistic smile etched it's way across his face. "And everything I'm going to do."

Bella knew it was too late. Edward was too far gone. "Let go of me you psycho!" Bella could feel her roots scream as he tugged her wildly. She clasped her hands around his own and struggled to release herself from his ironclad grip. "Let me go! Let me go!" Her pleas fell on deaf ears as Edward kept his hold. Bella was forced to her feet as Edward stood, bringing her with him. Before she could struggle further, Edward slammed her head into the small table against the hall wall rendering her unconscious.

"...where are you?"

Bella wanted to groan, but something deep inside of her told her not to make a sound. She kept her eyes closed and allowed her breathing to remain steady. As she felt the rise and fall of her chest, she took stock of what she could sense. Her head was pounding and she could feel that her left eye was swollen. She didn't even know if she'd be able to open it if she tried. Edward definitely did a number on her face when he slammed her head into the corner of that table.

"...bringing her in now…"

Bella could feel herself fading in and out of consciousness. Someone was speaking but not to her. She recognized Edward's voice, but was confused as to who he was talking to. He wasn't speaking to her, that was given. His voice was too neutral and whenever he spoke to her she could practically feel the venom leaking from his words.

"Tie him up don't let him…"

She felt a sudden josling and realized she was stuffed into the back seat of a car. Her body had been thrown in haphazardly, so half of her limbs were hanging off the seat. Her head had been roughly shoved against the other door and every bump caused her head to throb even more. She tried to get more comfortable without being obvious, but it was hard. It took much of her energy but after some strategic movement, she managed to scoot down in the seat so that her head was no longer slamming against the door. She didn't know where Edward was taking her, but he was driving like a maniac.

"...do what...you do…"

Bella wondered briefly who Edward was talking to. She didn't hear another voice in the car so she assumed he was on the phone. Deciding to be daring, she peeked her good eye open and took in her surroundings. She had deduced correctly and found herself in a car. It was immaculate and still had the 'new car' smell. From her angle she could barely see Edward driving.

"We're almost there. See you in a few." Edward tossed his phone onto the empty seat next to him and briefly glanced back at Bella. He caught her stare and grinned darkly. "I have a surprise for you."

His words left Bella unsettled but she didn't give a response. Instead she closed her eyes and listened to the storm rage on outside of the car. 'Please let my daughter be okay.' She prayed silently. 'Please don't let him hurt my baby.' Bella unconsciously rubbed her stomach tried to keep from having another panic attack. An indiscernible amount of time passed and before she knew it, the car was pulling to a stop.

"We're here."
