Hey everyone! π I've seen so many of your questions about "Mob Boss" in the comments, so I wanted to take a moment to address them. I'm sorry I can't get to every single one right nowβI'm super busy creating new content for you daily! π β¨
So, let's dive in! Yes, "Mob Boss" does involve some cheating, but there's more to it. As the story unfolds, you'll see that Bella suggests she and Edward try a polygamist lifestyle. So, while Edward has been sneaking around with Rosalie (which is totally not cool, by the way), there's a lot more complexity to it. Trust me, it's all part of the drama! And no, Edward isn't obsessed with any of the women. His checking in on Tanya is just him feeling guilty for scaring her, and if that wasn't clear in my writing, that's on me. Sorry for any confusion! π
Now, I want to hear from YOU! Would you like to see more of what I do? Should I take more polls to get your input? How about creating a Facebook page for exclusive sneak peeks of upcoming chapters? πβ¨ Would adding pictures to the story make it more engaging for you?

Mob Boss
Chapter Nineteen: Melina
Bella Cullen
Edward didn't wish to discuss the call from Rome despite my protests, he seemed determined to keep me in the dark about what was going on in his life. After the call he spent the next few hours locked in his office, and all I could hear was him shouting at people on the phone when he went shouting at Marco over increasing security at the house.
Before I knew it Esme and Carlisle were back at the house and Edward had apparently called Jasper too and instructed him and Alice to return from Paris that same day. He wasn't taking any chances, he organized a private jet to pick them up from Paris and bring them directly Forks with Philip and Dylan both escorting them to the house.
All around the house the house our security was increased by the hour, from each window of the house I could see the grounds being patrolled and not a single guard wasn't armed, riffles, hand guns upon their belts and knives ready at their ankles.
It wasn't until I literally banged my fists upon the door to his office that Edward would take a single moment to explain to me what was happening in my own home. Edward pulled me inside and dismissed the guards within the room including Marco would was yelling something in French or Italian or whatever it was into his phone. Edward slammed the door shut and pushed me up against it and kissed me with such urgency that I found myself gripping his forearms just to hold on.
When he pulled away we locked eyes and I couldn't deny my first and most primal of instincts.
I reached for his belt buckle.
Edward's hands covered mine stopping me.
"Always wanting the prize." Edward whispered against my lips "Not that I am not consumed by the idea of how wet you must stand right now but there is no time baby, I have to get back to work."
I dropped my forehead to his chest and Edward kissed my forehead.
"That call was from Italy, that call was from Aro" I said as he turned his back to me to return to his desk.
"It was from Italy, yes I've never lied to you about such things. So yes it was. But it was not from Aro."
"Then by who?" I asked
Edward pressed his hands upon his desk looking back at me "That doesn't concern you."
"I'll tell one of the guards to tell me."
"You know better than that, they never tell you anything upon my command."
"Then you will tell me," I stepped forward "Or you and I will have a very big problem."
"Are you threatening me my darling?"
"No. I'm telling you. You either tell me what that call was about, or-"
"Oh please do finish that sentence. I beg of you." Edward mocked
I swallowed hard "I have my connections, Edward, I can find out for myself."
"Do you know how ridiculous you sound right now? Threatening me, my own wife."
I stepped forward again "I am Isabella Swan Cullen, wife of Edward Cullen, no one underestimates me. I'm not weak and I am most certainly not stupid Edward so stop treating me as such."
Edward walked around his desk stopping directly in front of it, directly in front of me before crossing his arms.
"Careful, my little swan." Edward warned me.
"Tell me what that call was about, Edward. Tell me!"
Edward chuckled "I thought I told you to be careful."
"Oh and I forget, how badly you hate to repeat yourself."
Edward leaned off the desk "And yet here you are. Repeating, repeating, repeating."
"Edward, please." I begged him.
Edward licked his lower lip "Why should I tell you?"
"Who else is more deserving to know your actions but me?"
Edward stopped himself from answering then.
"Edward, I am your wife. I deserve to know what's going on."
Edward shook his head "No. You don't."
"Edward-"
Edward held up his hand "Enough, Bella, enough. This conversation is over."
"Edward-"
"No, Bella, no. Enough."
I swallowed back my pride and closed my mouth.
"Tell me right now. Before-"
Edward lifted my chin with his finger and thumb "You are my wife Bella, but you do not demand answers from me. Understood?"
"If you don't tell me right now. I'm going to go to my dad's." I threatened.
Edward stared at me before pressing his index finger upon my chest, and leading me backyards until my back was pressed against the wall and his forehead was against mine.
"And I'll deny you what you want most of all." I opened my mouth as he held my chin in his hand gripping it hard but not painfully.
"What do you think you're doing Bella?"
Edward pressed his hardness against me.
"Tell me, or be forced to deal with that yourself." I whisper to him.
Edward's eyes darken.
"Well?" I whispered
Edward moved my hand to his crotch and I began to rub him through his pants, I felt him growing harder and harder beneath my fingertips until I unzipped him and touched him skin on skin. Edward's eyes fluttered slightly and I could tell he was desperate to close his eyes.
"Go ahead sweetheart, have at it" Edward said pressing both his palms against the wall.
"Tell me what that call was about Edward, and I'll suck you off."
Edward smirked "And if I don't?"
I ran my hand from the tip of his member all the way down to his heavy balls and Edward bit down on his lower lip.
"Then I guess you'll have to go without."
"You forget sweetheart," Edward brought his right hand down between my legs "I know that look, I know when you're wet." Edward began to rub me through my leggings and I failed to hide the moan that escaped my lips.
"You like that, don't you sweetheart?" Edward whispered
I nodded.
"And yet, despite-" Edward paused to look down at my hand on his cock "Despite the fact you have me in the palm of your hand," He paused to bite his lower lip, his hand working me to my release as a smirk grew upon his lips as his eyes locked with mine and his hand immediately stilled "I'm still the boss."
Edward removed my hand from his cock and zipped himself up leaving me frustrated.
"Fuck you."
"Later my darling, I plan to have you in every corner of our bedroom and perhaps the balcony too." He said as he walked towards his desk.
"Good luck with that. I'll be at my dad's house." I said gripping the door handle.
"Behave Bella." Edward warned me.
"Oh, fuck you."
I left the office and slammed the door behind me storming back upstairs, I was angry, I was so fucking angry but I needed relief, I needed Edward's hands upon me to make me cum but that wasn't going to happen. So the only thing that would get me through this if not release was information. Luckily for me I was the Sheriff's daughter and I could find a way of getting things done on my own.
Thankfully Charlie bought the story I had come up with to ensure he send me copies of Edwards phone call logs. It didn't take more than a few hours before I was sitting on the edge of my bed with my tablet in my hands reading about the only phone call from Italy to the house.
When Edward entered our bedroom I looked up at him before I placed the tablet to my side.
"Always the Sheriff's daughter" Edward said.
"He just wants what's best for me" I replied before crossing my legs.
"I should have known you'd go to him. Go running to your dad...like a child"
"I had to do something, I couldn't have the staff thinking I had no idea what was going on in my own home."
Edward placed his watch on the dresser and I looked towards me.
"They know who they work for."
I smirked "I've got your name. I have as much power as yo-"
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
"Or what?" I challenged.
"Come Bella. We both know I can do a lot worse than withhold sex from you."
I swallowed hard "I know. You don't play fair Edward, you never have."
"I don't have to, I play to win, always have always will."
"But not today."
"The day isn't over yet."
I stared at him "I read your conversation. I know everything"
"Here we go"
"Melina, I remember her she's Aro's first wife and the assumed favourite. She doesn't want to meet you just me. And we need to do this" I told him.
"Melina is the second most powerful woman in the underworld, you my wife are the first. There's no way you're going into a room with her." Edward said.
"You don't control me."
"I am your husband Bella, and the man that stands between you and any danger."
"She's just one of his wives."
"She knows Aro's business inside out."
"Oh please he has what four wives?"
"Five actually. His latest wife being Caius' sister."
"Jane?"
Edward just shrugged it off.
"Melina wants to meet me. She said that. While she is in New York for fashion week. It's one meeting. It shows good standing to the neighboring clans." I argued.
"Bella, she could kill you in one meeting. I am not letting my wife walk into a death trap."
"Yes I am your wife. And I've been here in this with you. I'm not that same naive high school virgin I was before, Edward I run out house, I have my own staff and security. I am in this life with you. Why can't you give me the respect of allowing me god damn meeting?"
"Because Melina is dangerous. Bella she's killed people. You can't even kill spiders!"
"So teach me." I said.
Edward rolled his eyes "Oh for fuck sake Bella, drop it."
"It's one meeting."
Edward slammed his fist against the dresser.
"There you are" I said and Edward smirked.
"I'm not losing my temper with you." Edward warned me.
"Then let me do this. Let me prove to you I am capable."
"No"
"Edward" I pleaded.
I crossed the room and held onto his belt as I looked up at him.
"It's one meeting. Just one"
Edward stared down at me before shaking his head.
"Baby," I brought my hand to his cheek "Please."
Edward closed his eyes for second at my touch before his hand over lapped mine and we locked eyes.
"Sometimes you need to let go of that power"
Edward smirked "No."
"Edward please" I begged him.
"No."
Edward was silent for a moment.
"Edward, she's Aro's first wife, she won't want any trouble."
"No you're the one looking for trouble," Edward began to unbuckle his belt "You're the one asking me to allow you to walk into a situation where you could be murdered, I told you Bella, no, and I meant it, you're not meeting Melina."
I took a step back from him and he watched me as I pulled down my thong from beneath my dress and threw it at him.
"If you think you're getting any from me tonight then you're wrong Edward."
Edward smirked before pocketing my underwear.
"We'll see about that sweetheart" Edward said before moving towards me.
I turned my back to him and slid my dress up on one side revealing one ass cheek to him.
"You're not fucking me Edward."
I felt Edward press his hardness against my bare ass and I failed to hide my arousal.
"You're dripping Bella."
Edward cupped me from behind and I moaned slightly at the feeling of his hand.
I used my ass to push him back so that he could watch me as I crawled onto the bed. I smirked as I pulled up my dress revealing myself to him as I faced away from him.
I brought my hand down between my thighs and I moaned as I touched myself.
Edward was silent.
I moaned louder as I rubbed myself, I was desperate for his touch but I knew he wanted me to beg for it, and I wasn't about to give in, not yet anyway.
I heard Edward's belt buckle hit the floor and I knew he was watching me.
I felt the bed dip slightly and Edward's hands upon my ass spreading me open, his mouth covered me and I gasped as he tongued me and I struggled to hold myself up with my free hand.
Edward tongued me perfectly, he knew exactly where to touch me to have me moaning loudly and he continued to spread me open as he did so.
Edward tongue fucked me and I whimpered, I was close, so fucking close, I could feel my orgasm building and I was desperate for it to crash over me.
It was then he stopped.
"Whatβ¦n-no" I gasped as I pushed back towards him, Edward slapped my ass and I gasped before turning to face him.
He smirked at me before turning around to retrieve his belt from the floor I watched him lace it through the loops of his pants.
"Edward" I complained
"You didn't think it was going to be that easy, did you?"
"So you get to have a taste and I still don't get a freaking meeting?"
Edward licked his lower lip and I couldn't help but stare at him.
"No"
I groaned
Edward chuckled
"This power thing won't always be a turn on" I warned him
Edward shrugged "I bet it will."
"It won't, and you know why? Because I'll find my own release."
Edward smirked "Oh I'm counting on that."
"It won't be with you." I told him and waved my fingers at him
"Whatever gets you there" He shrugged and I glared at him.
"Edward, please, let me do this, I'll go to that meeting, and you know it'll show good standing to Aro and his other wives."
"No. You're not meeting her. That's the end of it Bella."
"Ugh! You can't boss me around forever Edward Cullen!"
"Watch me" Edward said as he buttoned his shirt.
"We are not done talking about this!" I yelled.
"Yes we are Bella, it's not happening, you're not meeting Melina. End of story."
I grabbed the closest pillow to me and launched it at him but Edward ducked as it hit the wall behind him.
"Are you five years old?" Edward asked.
"No but you are treating me like it!" I screamed.
"And you're acting like it" Edward replied.
"Argh!" I screamed again grabbing another pillow and launching that at Edward, Edward caught it just before it hit him in the face and I sat upon the bed folding my arms across my chest.
Edward placed the pillows back upon the bed.
"Don't pout Bella."
"Don't Bella me!" I snapped.
"I'm going to have a shower" Edward said as he stripped himself from his clothes and I failed to hide my staring as he revealed himself to me.
"You coming?" He asked me
"No!" I huffed.
"Suit yourself" Edward said as he entered our ensuite.
I laid back upon the bed and sighed as I stared up at the ceiling.
Edward had to let me do this, he just had to, I was not backing down.
I waited until he had been in the shower for around ten minutes. Enough to make sure the steam was covering me when I snuck inside to take his phone.
I found Melina's number in his recent calls and dialed it.
"Edward, it's lovely to hear from you, I take it you've come to your senses?"
I braced myself and since I didn't have confidence I faked confidence.
"This is Mrs Cullen" I said and Melina was silent for a moment.
"Oh, Bella, hello dear."
"Isabella's I corrected no one got to call me Bella that I didn't allow.
"Of course, Isabella it is." Melina said
"I understand you wish to meet me?"
Melina was silent for a moment.
"Indeed I do."
"I assume you'll be at the four seasons in New York?"
"Correct."
"Excellent. I'll be there tomorrow." I told her.
"Very well, I look forward to meeting you Isabella."
"I will be attending fashion week alone, Edward as you can imagine is very busy."
Melina chuckled "Of course. Well, I shall see you tomorrow Isabella."
"Until then" I said before hanging up.
I placed Edward's phone back where I found it before entering the bathroom and I found Edward with his head beneath the spray of water.
I needed to check he was still beneath the water before I went a text to Marco from his phone giving me permission to go to Charlie's house.
I would head there first and collect my original passport before flying to New York.
I went to the closet and patched in the code to my personal safe. I collected a few thousand dollars before I gathered a single Dior luggage hold all and tossed into it some clothes suitable for attending an event at fashion week. I choose black Jimmy Choo heels and a red dress by Versace. I packed some underwear, my jewellery box, a spare hair brush and my cell phone.
I returned Edwards phone into his pocket in the bathroom not leaving any sign that something was going on. When I arrived outside Philip was waiting for me beside one of the SUVs.
"I'll be at Charlie's house the rest of the night, be sure to tell my husband if he asks" I said as Philip opened the back door for me.
"Of course Mrs Cullen" He said.
"Actually tell him, you saw I packed an overnight bag, and Philip," I flipped my hair "Be sure to mention to him how livid I am right now too."
Philip nodded "Absolutely."
I climbed inside the car and smiled to myself as we drove off.
When we arrived at Charlie's house he was just returning from work, he watched Philip provide his hand as I stepped out of the car.
I turned to Philip "Tell him I don't know what's going on but I do not want any security near my father's house tonight and also tell him not to even attempt to call me either my phone is gonna be off all night."
Philip nodded.
I walked over to Charlie and gave him a one armed hug.
"Hi dad, sorry I just need to stay here tonight, I'm so mad at Edward I just can't deal with him right now, I think I just need a good night sleep." I told him.
Charlie looked towards Philip and I held my hand up.
"I don't wanna know." I said and Charlie smirked before handing me the key to his house.
"Thanks"
When we got inside I quickly turned to face him and he chuckled.
"What's really going on Bells?" Charlie asked me.
"I'm going to New York." I told him.
"Finally leaving him huh?"
"No dad, I'm going for an event"
"What sort of event?" Charlie asked crossing his arms.
"Fashion week."
"Fashion week? You?"
"Yes me. I am going to New York dad. Alone."
Charlie sighed "Bella"
"Dad please, I really don't want to argue, Edward and I haven't been getting along and I just need a few days on my own."
"Why what's been going on?"
"Nothing major, nothing worth even discussing-"
"Just enough for you to need a few days away from him?"
"Yeah?"
"And a few states...a few hundred thousand miles?"
"Dad. I really don't want to make this a bigger deal than it is."
Charlie sighed.
"Dad look at me, nothing is wrong, we are okay, there's no secrets, no money troubles, no affairs, no mob stuff. It's just him and me needing space."
"I don't know Bella."
I shrugged "Sorry but that's all I can say to convince you." I told him before turning to head upstairs to my old room in search of my passport.
When I returned downstairs Charlie was on the phone.
"Ok thanks."
He hung up the phone.
"You're husband knows you're here."
I shrugged "I don't care, I thought he'd call. Just figured it would be me. Not you."
I walked over to Charlie.
"What did he say?" I asked
"That Philip delivered the message. And that Philip is going to be...off work for a few days as a result."
I swallowed hard "Right well, that's me got it." I said holding up my passport before I kissed Charlie's cheek and headed outside.
"Bells wait!"
I turned around to face Charlie who was stood in the doorway.
"I love you kid."
I smiled at him "I love you too dad."
I still had the keys to my old truck and luckily Charlie had been turning the engine over because there were no problems when I cranked up the engine.
I was New York bound.
