Dislciamer - Stephanie Meyers owns Twilight, I just added some real drama.

Thanks to everyone for reading, reviewing, following, and favoriting! I'm glad everyone is enjoying the storty. I'm going to give you some more Edward/Bella time but I'm not abandoning my other characters, we're only a drop in the bucket into this story and I like lots of drama in my fiction! Some things just need to be told from another's POV I feel.

"I definitely don't hold grudges, I'll just never be the same. This is the thing, you can't stab somebody and try to bring them back to life. It is too late then. The person is dead." Teresa Giudice, Real Housewives of New Jersey

Disclaimer - Bravo owns the Real Housewives but come on, they have no mob ties but they run around paying everything in cash, carrying guns, and threatening to kill each other?!

Previously...

"Edward, I find myself drawn to you, too. I would never do anything to be a distraction. I know this life is new to me compared to you guys but I will be there for you however I can." She said clasping her hands together.

I don't know who fucked up her selfesteem but I would fuck them up when I found out.

"Isabella," I said softly taking her small hands into mine, "I need you to be sure that with your father being who he is that you can be with a guy like me. Once you're mine there is no turning back. I won't let you go. Ever. I will always take care of you, provide for you, protect you. I have to know that I will have everything I need from you. Love and loyalty. Those are above all else. Family first. Can you handle that? Is that what you want?"

"Yes. Yes to whatever." She quickly replied.

I smiled at her before leaning over the table to kiss her. I wanted to do so much more but I wouldn't push her. Her lips were soft and molded against my perfectly. I could kiss her for the rest of my life. I knew that now.

She would have to get used to being pampered. My woman was going to have the best. I wanted to buy her a car but I don't know how well that would go over with her father. Her mom would probably marry her off to me the same day.

Gold digging bitch.

Renee was shacked up with Frank Denali.

Isabella had no idea and I was pretty sure Charles didn't yet. I'm sure he would snoop around soon enough. He may be quiet but that doesn't mean he was stupid. He would be snooping around my family soon enough also.

I didn't want Isabella anywhere near her mother because that made easy access for the Denalis and there was no way in hell that was happening. They had shit coming to them. They were trying some sneaking shit and we didn't have all the details but we knew enough to know we were preparing for war.

I just had a couple of details to take care of first.

Isabella's POV

Edward insisted on having me home by 9:30 to please my father.

I don't think it pleased him but it kept him from saying anything.

Edward had given me a chaste kiss at the front door and a promise to call later.

He didn't call but had text me a little and he showed up the next morning to take me to school and picked me up. He also informed me this would be our new routine. I wasn't complaining.

Now it's Saturday afternoon and I'm with the girls at Rosalie's getting ready for her big birthday bash tonoght.

"What did your father say when Emmett told him he wanted you to move in?" Mary Alice asked while curling Rosalie's hair.

"He wasn't exciteds about it but he gave his blessing if that's what I wanted. He knows Em will take care of me and he was also afraid I might rebel now that I'm eighteen." Rosalie sighed.

"Is it what you want?" Esme asked flipping through a magazine waiting for her toe nails to dry.

"Absolutely. I wanted Emmett for so long and now that I have him I want as much as I can get." She said smiling.

"So Bella," Alice said slying, turning her eyes towards me, "How do you feel now that you and Edward are official?"

A shit eatting grin broke out across my face.

"It's wonderful." I said sounding cheesy but I didn't care.

"You're cute together." Esme said smiling at me.

"Thanks. I'm nervous though. I know he expects certain things and I'm pretty sure sex is one of them." I told her laying back on the bed.

"Have you not done anything at all?" Rosalie asked raising her eyebrows.

I shook my head and felt the familar blush grace my face.

"Wow." Rose said before looking back to herself in the mirror.

"It'll be fine. Edward would never push you for anything. He was raised better than that." Esme said to calm me.

"What about you?" I asked directly the attention back to her.

She laughed and closed the magazine.

"I would if we would stop getting interrupted. Emmett has made it his mission to keep Aro busy whenever we're suppose to be alone. Maybe tonight you and Rose can keep my brothers occupied." Esme said raising her brows at me.

"Won't be a problem on my end. I'm getting some dick tonight." Rosalie replied casually.

Esme and I burst out laughing.

Once I caught my breath I spoke.

"I'll do what I can."

"About damn time! What are friends for?" Esme said tossing her head back laughing again.

I started giggling again. Esme had a lighthearted laugh and you couldn't help but join in.

*Knock knock*

"Who is it?" Rosalie called out.

"Santa fucking Claus." Aro greeted from the other side of the door.

"Come in." Rosalie said rolling her eyes but she had a small smile on her lips.

Aro walked into the room carrying a garment bag.

"Hey Ma." He said leaning over to give Esme a kiss.

"What's in the bag?" She asked her eyes lighting up.

"Sorry doll, it's from Edwards for his new lady."

"Oh." Esme sat back smiling but I could hear the disappointed in her voice.

"Open it up!" Alice shouted at me. That girl loves a surprise no matter who it was for.

I giggled and took the bag, unzipping it.

I caught my breath when I saw the dress inside.

It was a floor length strapless white ball gown with small stones covering it.

"It's beautiful." I said fingering the detail on the dress.

"Matches your virginal status, too." Rosalie smirked.

Aro chuckled and looked down at his shoes.

"Ha ha." I told her.

"Well I'll let you girls get ready. See you tonight ma." Aro said kissing Esme before leaving.

"Bye." We all chimed after him.

"That's romantic." Esme said softly looking at my dress.

"Almost looks like a wedding dress." Rosalie joked.

We spend the rest of the afternoon doing our hair and makeup before slipping into our dresses.

Mary Alice had brought me a flirty mango colored cocktail dress but obviously my new man had other ideas.

Esme zipped my gown up and quickly worked her way around me pinning up hair here and there. Once she was done I looked in the mirror and a princess from a fairytale was standing before me.

Esme wore deep purple, Mary Alice in yellow, and Rosalie had on red.

Blood red.

Her dress fell midthigh and fit her like a second skin. It was a shimmery silk material with only one sleeve that flowed down her right arm. She looked amazing.

Esme and Mary Alice were beautiful, hell I thought I was looking damn good but Rosalie, she stole the show.

It was her night after all.

"Everything will be fine." Edward whispered in my ear as he placed his hand on the small of my back and guided me into the crowded room. Rosalie's birthday was a big deal they said because of her father's standing in the family.

I glanced up at him and nodded.

I could conquer the world with him by my side.

I kept telling myself this and we walked through the room and said hello to everyone.

"Is Rosalie's party really the best place for us to become 'official'?" I whisperd to him through a smile as all eyes were on us.

"It's fine. If she had a problem with it trust me you would know." Edward laughed.

"Okay." I replied letting him lead me through the throngs of people.

"Ciao miei cari!" (Hello my darlings!) Mrs. Cullen greeted us.

"Hello." I said shyly. I was still intimidated by these people.

"Hi Ma." Edward said kissing her cheek.

"Don't you look beautiful, Isabella!" She said with a spark in her eyes.

"Thank you. You look wonderful. I love your dress." I complimented her. I wanted her, no I needed her to like me.

"E 'un custode." (She's a keeper.) She said looking at Edward.

He simply nodded and smiled.

It killed me when they spoke and I couldn't understand.

I was going to ask Esme to teach me Italian or get Rosetta Stone or something.

"Enjoy the night. I'm going to go give my wishes to Rosalie and then make your father dance with me." She said smiling at us before disappearing into the crowd.

"She likes you." Edward whispered pulling me out onto the dance floor.

"Is that so?" I asked as he wrapped his arm around me and took my hand in his.

"I'm most certain." He smiled at me.

He began spinning me around the floor. I've never been big on dancing but Edward was a fantastic leader.

I was smiling and laughing as Edward twirled me under his arm and spun me back in.

He bent me over his arm, running his lips faintly up my neck and ending ay my earlobe, nibbling.

"Let's give them something to look at." he whispered before planting his lips on mine.

I moaned softly as the passion from his kiss enveloped me.

I have never been kissed in my life the way Edward kissed me in that moment.

Rosalie's POV

My birthday was going wonderfully. Everyone was here and in a great mood.

Mostly due to the flowing open bar, but also because we're passionate people.

Even my father was in a good mood and that was saying something considering he wasn't all that keen on me moving in with Emmett.

I was an only child and it spoiled my parents more than me. I was the only child they had to dote on. Once I was gone their house would be empty until I gave them grandchildren.

"Rosalie, salire sul palco con il tuo papà." (Rosalie, come up to the stage with your Papa.) My mother said tugging on my arm.

I smiled and followed her over to the stage and up the steps where my father and Emmett already waited.

My father kissed my cheeks and wrapped his arm around my waist holding a mic in the other.

He waited for my mother to take her place beside me before he brought the mic to his lips.

"Quieten the music!" He commanded.

A few seconds later the music haulted.

"Good evening everyone and grazie for joining us to celebrate my bella Rosa's eighteenth birthday!" He began and everyone in the room paid attention.

He was the Consigliere. He was the Boss' right hand man.

"I am so proud of the beautiful young woman my baby girl has become. She has made her mother and I very happy. I hope everyone has given her their birthday wishes, and if not, the night is not over. Now I think that her tesoro (sweetheart) had something to say."

Everyone clapped as my father passed the mic to Emmett who looked yummy as hell in his crisp pinstriped suit with a red silk button up.

"Hello." Emmett said replacing my father next to me.

I smiled at him.

I loved him so much I thought my heart would burst.

"Hope everyone is enjoying that open bar." Emmett joked before turning to me.

"Rosalie, I love you. You have brought a light to my life I didn't know I was missing. I am humbled that you chose me and I am happy to be celebrating yet another milestone in your life. I hope to enjoy many more."

I mouthed 'I love you' to him.

He grinned at me.

I didn't know what he was up to.

His grin got wider and his eyes held something I couldn't name.

He dug in his pocket and brought out a familar little blue box.

He dropped down on his knee and things began to move in slow motion for me.

He brought his other hand down to the box opening it, revealing a flawless princess cut diamond.

"Rosalie, I love you. I love you so much it should be illegal. Will you please give me the honor of spending the rest of our lives as my wife?" Emmett asked looking up at me.

"Yes! Oh my God, yes!" I screamed holding out my hand.

The crowd erupted into cheers and whistles.

Emmett took the ring out of the box and placed it on my finger.

I was going to spend the rest of my life with Emmett.

I knew he wanted to move in but I didn't see this coming.

I thought my smile was going to break my face.

Mary Alice's POV

I smiled at Emmett's proposal. Rosalie was one of my best friends and she deserved the world on a silver platter and Emmett would deliver. I stood at the edge of the crowd watching the room. My nerves had been so tore up over the events of the last couple of weeks.

As dark as the new side of Carlisle was I still loved him.

I don't know what was wrong with me.

Rosalie and Emmett were now engaged.

Esme and Aro were getting hot and heavy. I had never seen my brother happier. Other than the cock blocking going on.

Isabella and Edward had found one another.

I had my eye on her for Aro but Edward was like another brother to me. I was happy for them as well.

They all had what I had been hoping to find with Carlisle.

I had spent years crushing on, then fantizing about him only to lure him in and realize he may not have been what I wanted.

I was foolish.

I knew there was a dark side to this world.

A very dark side that I had seen more of than most harden criminals.

I just never expected it from Carlisle.

Jasper's family didn't even get to grieve properly. They didn't have a body. They didn't even know he was dead yet.

They assumed he was off on a bender.

I felt for them.

I had fainted over seeing Carlisle react so harshly over something that wasn't his concern.

How could he have that stupid blond bimbo then expect me to be his fucking mistress?

I was classier than that.

Keeping our relationship a secret because of his age and our family I could understand, but being the other woman was a whole different ball game.

One I refused to play in.

"Having a good time?"

Speak of the devil.

"Hello Carlisle." I said not bothering to look at him.

"Is that how you are going to treat the man that loves you?" He whispered in my ear.

"That's how I'm going to treat the man that thinks I'm going to be second pick." I replied coldly.

"Mary Alice, " His voice softened, "You're not second pick. It's just not time for us to debut our relationship. Roxy is for show, to please my father, good for business. Please trust me. I will take care of you regardless. Can't you just accept those terms for now?"

I glanced up at him.

He held a pleading look in his sky blue eyes.

"What other choice do I have?" I asked holding back tears.

Edward's POV

I had spent the evening introducing Isabella as my girlfriend. I wanted the whole world to know she was mine. I wasn't sure of this feeling in my heart but I had a good idea it was love.

Everyone watched every move she made but nobody was disrespectful. My father had made sure of that.

My mother was so happy to see me having an actual relationship, she had persuaded my father to relax about the cop deal for now.

My family was biding their time until we knew more.

We didn't want attention from Charlie.

The family wanted Isabella to gain information from her mother.

How that bitch went from cop to don I have no idea but I had an inkiling she knew about my family.

What killed me was she knew about this kind of life and she wanted to push her daughter into it.

This lifestyle held alot of glamour but everyone tended to forget the bad.

Drugs.

Drinking.

Clubs.

Crazy hours.

Tears.

Sweat.

Blood stained hands.

Jail.

Death.

Nothing in this life was certain no matter how hard out values and morals were portrayed.

I lived by those morals.

Family.

Loyalty.

Trust.

Brotherhood.

Earning bones.

Not everyone did though.

It was a cold dangerous life.

I was too selfish to give up Isabella though.

I would just have to protect her with everything in my power.

Everyone that didn't know who she was before, knew now.

Cop's daughter or not, she was mine and they had better respect that.

If not I had no problem spilling blood on my hands.
