BPOV

I wake on Wednesday morning to my phone's alarm clock going off and a knock on my door. I turn the alarm off as I call out 'come in'. I look over in time to see Aro walk in with a middle aged, but beautiful lady walking behind him with a tray in her hands.

"Good morning Isabella, I thought to have your breakfast brought up to you this morning. After you have finished please get dressed and come to the office I last took you too." I simply nod my head as his tone makes me feel like he doesn't want a conversation and he just turns on his heels and walks back out of the room.

I look to the lady worker and motion for her to bring the tray over. As she gets closer, however, I note that her face looks familiar. I was about to say something, but she beats me to it and says in a whisper

"Hello Bella, it's me Edward's Aunt Esme. Before you ask I cook your meals as Edward doesn't trust anyone to not poison you. Can't stay, but get James good and know that Edward will be watching on the cameras."

I smile at her and she returns it as she puts the tray down on my lap. She places her hand on my left shoulder and gives a small squeeze and then leaves. I sigh and then eat the scrambled eggs on toast, apple cut into wedges and drink the orange and mango juice all while smiling at Edward's over protective-ness.

Once finished, I get up and go through my morning routine starting with the bathroom. I make sure I dress in black slacks that were comfy, but still looked good and would be perfect for today's task, I paired this with black flat heeled leather boots and a blood red button up blouse with a black jacket over it.

I put in my ruby stud earrings and pull my hair up into a high pony tail. I apply light make up as I want to keep a natural look today, once this is all done I take a look at myself in the mirror to make sure that I haven't forgotten anything, when I remembered my grandfather's knives. I go to the bedside table and get them out of the draw, Aro thankfully gave the sheaths that go with them as well and the harness to wear them on my shoulders, but they also have the waist holders and ankle holders too.

I decide to wear them on my waist for today as I didn't know if I wanted to use them or not, but just thought to wear them… just in case. I take another look at myself and nod in approval, with that I walk with my head held high towards the office that he took me to on Monday after he 'trained' me, more like almost molested me.

I shudder slightly at the memory. God I will be so glad to be home as these people make my skin crawl. Yesterday as I was trying to get some of the paperwork drawn up for the meeting between Aro, Edward and I, Jane came into the room and wanted to talk with me. Wouldn't take no for an answer, so I had to stop what I was doing and give her my undivided attention.

Only her idea of 'talking' was more like sitting as close as she can to me and trying to hug me in some way as our sitting positions on the bed would allow, which was mostly just side on hugs. She thanked me for letting her and Mother say a final goodbye to James, even though she will be more than happy to be rid of him because when she'd hit 16 and had had her first period her parents forced her to let James take her virginity.

I couldn't believe what the hell I was hearing! They did what to her?! And to top it off James wasn't gentle either and apparently when she cried too much he beat her. I was about to feel bad for her, when she told me that she was the one that gave James bad business advice so that he would eventually lose everything.

To say I was flabbergasted would be an understatement, Jane was quite a business woman, but she never wanted to deal with the illegal side of things and really wanted her Father to send her to Italy to handle the vineyard they had there, but he was just basically letting that go to shit and the main reason for her 'talk' was to ask if I could say something to him and push to let her do so, if not then she wouldn't be happy and neither would I.

After she said that she left me with my mouth hanging open, like damn! Anyway I am pulled out of my musings as I look up and see that I am standing in front of the office door that is open. I still knock on the door though and Aro calls me to come in.

As I walk in I watch as he turns the big leather chair he is sitting in behind the desk to face towards me. He motions for me to sit in a chair in front of him. I can't help but notice the way he checked me out – que bile coming into my mouth, but thankfully I could safely swallow it back down.

Typical me, I haven't had much in the way of morning sickness during this pregnancy and yet it takes this sicko looking at me like I am something good to eat and god only knows what else to make me almost puke.

I take my seat in front of him and then ask "So when do we do this?" I want this over and over with like months ago. I watch as a few emotions float past his face, before it becomes a mask of blankness that is scary.

"Well if you follow me, we will get started." I nod my head as he gets up and walks to the bookcase as I was standing behind him I saw that he moves a black covered book out towards him and then the shelving slides to reveal a doorway.

HOLY SHIT! There is a secret passageway behind this room, like what the fuck! Could this be the entrance to the basement? Could Edward see this? Why the hell and I asking that, I am sure he can see this.

Aro walks into the doorway and then pauses long enough to motion for me to follow him. I fall in behind him and we walk maybe 3 steps and then he stops, making me stop behind him. I look up at his back and he puts an arm around my waist, before I can say anything to him I hear the unmistakable sound of automatic doors closing behind me, if he hadn't of grabbed me and pulled me closer to his back I may have been caught between the doors.

I feel the lift go down and within a few seconds the wall in front of me opens to reveal a bare white sterile room with what looks like my hi-tech Weapon's room mixed with basically a BDSM playroom – if you don't know what that is, go read the 50 shades of grey books or watch the movies and you'll know quick enough, but I guess it's sort of like the room that James has been held in all this time, but without the bed and most of the other furniture and just has every implement of torture you can imagine and maybe some you can't around the walls.

As I continue to look around I see Aro walk up to this section that seems to be like a bathroom, but has a smooth floor instead of tiles and yet it's not concrete, something more sterile. It has a drain in the centre and there is what looks like glass separating us from this section, as I step closer I see that it isn't empty.

Standing spread eagled against the cross, is James. Who, apart from white undies, is completely naked. The look of defeat written all over his face as he looks down to the floor as best as he can.

You know looking at him now, I almost pity him because he looks that defeated and pitiful. While I know that had he had different parents and a different up bringing with parents that loved him, he may have turned out different. However, he could have stood up to his father before and branched out away from him or something. Instead he just followed in his father's footsteps while making his own grave bigger by sleeping around and just doing as he was told and not caring what his apparently most trusted employee's did with his money and name.

Aro is standing by a gap in the glass wall that looks like a doorway and he is looking at me. I walk over to him and he ushers me inside to stand in front of James. He lets out a heavy sigh and then turns to James and says in a tone that is full of disappointment

"Well James, this is the end. I am going to leave you in Isabella's capable hands and let her deal with you as she sees fit. I want nothing more to do with you, you have embarrassed and betrayed me that much I don't want my hands dirty with your filth. I had hoped you could at least face your death with some dignity, but look at you! You can't even bare to look at us."

Aro pauses to turn to me and then continues with his back to James

"Isabella, please use anything in the room behind you as you see fit. Don't strain or stress yourself though and please take care of my grandson and yourself. When your done just go to the panel by the door we walked out of, to get here and press the call button, I will come down with the cleaning crew and bring you back to your room so you can rest for the remainder of the day in bed."

With that he walks past me and back to the door he just mentioned and then the doors close and I am alone with James. He looks up at me and then says in a sad and dejected tone that is void of life

"Do your worst, if you have the guts. I'm done and ready to go." He then pauses and adds in an angry and sarcastic tone "Then again you're only a female, what would you be able to do… throw me over the railing? Oh, that's right, I am tied to this cross so you can't do that again."

I was going to just give him a quick death because he looked so pathetic that I agreed with Aro, he wasn't worth my effort or time, but now I am seething! I can feel my blood boiling, who the hell does he think he is!

I don't bother to answer him with my words as I am just that angry, I walk out over to the numerous torture tools and as I am walking to this cabinet opposite the door, I see hanging up a short stock whip with what looks like a cat o' nine tails at the very end of the whip, only it has little blades and hooks attached to the very end of each of the 'tails'. As I walk to it, I sense James' eyes on me, I smile as I grab the whip.

Something a lot of people don't know about me is that when I was just starting to learn the ropes of this side of my family so that my father could be happy that I knew what I was doing safely, and because most people will be like James and underestimate me due to my gender, I did some extensive training in the Australian outback with a good friend of my father's when he took me on a 'cleaning' job out there.

One of the things I learnt was how to use a whip as a torture device and how understated this common farm item is when it comes to our line of work. I grab it off the wall and then turn to go back to James. I make sure I look him dead in the eyes as I walk towards him with what I like to call my 'I mean business' game face.

Which is basically just a death stare mixed with a poker face. Don't ask how that possible, but I have seen it in reflections of myself because when I was training my father filmed some of it and we watched it back so he could show me what I was doing wrong instead of interrupting me too much while actually working. That film was then destroyed so I can't show Edward any of it.

But I know that he is watching now and I know that I am going to need him tonight as this is going to make me feel horny afterwards. There is just something about cracking a whip and throwing knives that has always done that to me. Anyway as I approach James he gives me an odd look before saying

"What an interesting choice, make sure you don't hurt yourself or break a nail…" Before he could say another word I unfurl the whip and let it crack at him. The blades and hooks imbed into his chest and then as I pull back they rip out and he lets out this almighty blood curdling scream that was like music to the boiling blood in my ears.

I wait till his screams have died down and then a finally reply to his earlier words in a tone that is void of all emotion "Am I such a female now?" I pause to give him a chance to say something, but I think he has wised up some and chosen to stay quiet, also he is sobbing now so that could be stopping him…. Naww poor poor pathetic little man.

I want to let him know that I am more than what I led him and his family to believe, but I don't know if Aro can hear and see what I am doing as well as Edward so I say "You know growing up, my father didn't shield me from this side of our lives because he intended for me to take over from him, despite that not happening, I do know how to hold my own in any kind of situation and I can say without a doubt that I will do more than you ever could. Now say your goodbyes you poor pathetic little man."

With that I crack the whip again and then quickly pull it back, I see that his chest is missing flesh in places and there are small deep cuts in between the missing flesh. I move slightly to hit his legs, but making sure to only hit his legs. Before I could crack it over his arms he passes out, OH NO I can't have that, so I move to the table just outside the door to this glass bathroom like section where I saw a few syringes with the red liquid in it.

I pick one up and then move to inject him in the neck. He jerks awake with a scream and I laugh at him, he looks at me with murderous rage and then starts to try and get at me but only ends up groaning in pain.

"You know James, I was going to make this quick to end your suffering as I have learned some things over the last week about your early life and I will admit that I almost felt sorry for you, but then you had to go and insult me! You couldn't just take your death like a man and be quiet, oh well guess you'll just die like a squealing girl instead."

And then I let that whip's cracks and his screams fill the air. I don't know how long I was at it for, but then my feet started to hurt and I could literally feel my ankles swell and my arms were aching wonderfully, I have missed doing this.

I had to use two more syringes and I decided to finish it off before I over did it, even though I wanted to go on. So I let the whip crack one more time to his manhood and he let out this screech that was beyond blood curdling, there was tears running down his cheeks as I walked closer.

I pull out one of my grandfather's knives and look at it for a moment before flicking my wrist and letting it fly towards his junk, it hit him just below his pelvic bone and I walk up to him and grab a hold of its handle, I pull it out and then make a few flicks and the next thing I hear is a soft thud on the floor below him.

When I look down I say with laughter in my tone "Oops guess you match the girl you've become. Good bye James Volturi, with your death I avenge my mother, with your death I am finally free of your filth."

And with that I slash his neck with my knife and his surprised shocked expression is so satisfying, I quickly move out of the way as what blood is left in his body slightly squirts out of my cut and I know without a doubt that I hit his jugular.

I turn and wipe my knife on the cloth I find on the table with what syringes are left, once this is done I walk back over to the door to the lift and press the button. In less than a minute it opens to reveal an empty space, I step in and don't look back as James tries to call out, but gurgles instead.

The door closes leaving James to die alone, in less than another minute the door opens in front of me to reveal a smiling Aro with a towel. I walk up to him and tell him "I hit his jugular, so he should be dead shortly. I thought to let him die alone for all the betrayal he has committed."

I still have no emotions to my tone and I keep my business face on, Aro simply keeps smiling and nods his head before he leads me to the wheelchair that I see is now in the office, for once I am actually grateful to Aro for this as I could use a seat, but I won't say that to him.

As he walks towards my room, I see Jane out of the corner of my eyes standing next to her mother. Jane looks happy and relieved, while her mother looks blank with tear tracks down her cheeks from where her tears fell through her mascara. Like shit lady have you never heard of waterproof mascara?

I give a slight nod of my head to my mother in law and a slight smile to Jane, then I look up at Aro who I see briefly look at me still with a shit eating almost proud smile on his face. I look forward again as he is pulling into my bedroom to see 'Dr O'Leary' standing by my bed with a soft smile on his face.

I see he has his ultrasound equipment already set up, as we approach him he quickly turns to the bed to pick something up. Upon facing me once again I see one of my PJs with the top that button up at the front, he hands it to me and then says is a soft and pleasant tone with the fake accent

"Hello Isabella, I'm here ta check out ya wee little one ta make sure all is well. Please change into this and then come back, ya can have a shower afterwards."

I nod and move to the bathroom. Once there I take stock of my appearance and almost gasp at the sight of all the blood smeared on my face, Aro wiped some of it off, but he missed quite a lot. This outfit is covered in James blood.

I peel my clothes off of my body and quickly as best as I can wash the blood from my hands at least till after my check-up. I leave my bra and undies on as I have a feeling Aro wants to be in on this one.

I dress quickly in my PJ's and walk back out to see my assumption is correct with both Aro and Carlisle out in the room waiting for me. I go to the bed and as I lay down I see that one of them has placed a plastic sheet over my pillow so that any blood that may be in my hair doesn't seep onto my pillow, I smile at the thoughtfulness of it.

Once in position, Aro comes to sit beside me on the side that Carlisle wasn't on and held my hand. I had to force myself to not cringe and roll my eyes at this and I see anger flash briefly in Carlisle's eyes before he gets the wand for the ultrasound machine ready, asks me to pull up my shirt – that Aro beats me to lifting it up, almost earning a growl from me thankfully I bit it back.

I look to Carlisle who is just staring at Aro, I let out a sigh and at the sound Carlisle thankfully snaps out of it and looks at me, I simply nod at him to hurry up as the quicker he does this the quicker I can get Aro out of here.

He puts the wand on my lower tummy, he presses a few buttons and then I hear the sound of my baby's heartbeat, only it sounds like it has an echo that wasn't there before. I look up in alarm to Carlisle right at the same time as he says "Huh" so I ask

"What is it Dr? Is everything ok?" I feel Aro grip my hand a little tighter as Carlisle answers "Ai everything is fine, but dere appears ta be a second heartbeat dat wasn't dere in me last scans. Give me a moment ta check a few tings and I'll be right wit ya, but don't worry so far everyting looks ok."

I nod my head at him and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Aro taps my hand and I look over at him and see that he is smiling at me again and it's really getting creepy. Bloody stupid sick fuck! I am pulled from my musings by Carlisle exclaiming

"Oh my goodness."

"What's wrong?"

"Noting Isabella, just dat it seems your carrying twins, one must have been hiding before now. Congrats." I stare at Carlisle as he turns the monitor towards me and Aro and I see two little babies, as I stare in shock at the monitor I see them move about and right at that moment I feel them moving and I gasp as my hand flies to hold my tummy.

Tears prick my eyes as I wish Edward was here to share this moment with me and not this creepy as fuck old man, it is slightly comforting with Carlisle here but still. Before I can say anything else Aro speaks for the first time

"Oh my gosh, this is wonderful news. Please Dr O'Leary could you print off a picture for my wife, she is going to be over joyed at this after today. Isabella, after that is done I am going to go and clean up as well as start making arrangements. I want you to rest in bed for the rest of the day and I'll have the stuff bring you a light late lunch up here, and I'll make sure that your mother and sister don't bother you today. I am so proud of you!"

I nod my head as I hear the sound of a printer printing. I watch as Carlisle hands Aro a photo and thank god he simply took it and left the fucking room! Once he is gone, Carlisle quickly walks over to the door, looks out both ways and then closes and locks the door.

"You can come out now" Carlisle says in his normal accent and I wonder why for a moment when movement by the closet catches my eye and I look over in time to see Edward walking towards me.

At this sight I burst into tears and I reach out to him, he rushes to my side and I am carefully engulfed in his arms and his scent and his warmth. I let out a sob at all the emotions and everything from what has happened that day crash over me.

"Shhh, Love. I'm here, I am not going anywhere. Please calm down and take some deep breaths" I do as he says and look up at him as he pulls slightly away from me, but still where he is holding me while sorta kneeling/ laying on his side.

"He's dead, and we are having twins. I've missed you so much Edward, I just want to come home! I don't know how much more I can take their creepiness and this shit!" I crash myself back into Edward as another sob escapes me, he gently rocks me and rubs my back, before he kisses my forehead and then says

"It's ok Bella, you did beautifully today. I never knew you could handle a whip like that and it was sexy as fuck, you totally need to show me more when we get home. Oh and your knife throwing skills too, I'm speechless at your skills my love. I don't know how else to say this as I am not really good at too much mushy stuff, but I am so glad that our father's put forth this arranged marriage with you as I can see now more than before that you are my equal in so many ways, but in others you are so much stronger than me.

Like I don't know if I could have done what you're doing now and pregnant no less, like fuck Bella you need to give yourself credit for that. I know Jasper and Carlisle here will completely agree with me on the fact that you are a very strong woman and all our kids are going to be a force to be reckoned with! Then to find out you're with twins! Oh my god, Bella I am over the moon!"

With that he kisses me with a searing kiss that is full of everything he just told me and then some other emotions I know he couldn't put into words. I kiss him back with the same emotions and passion, that is until we needed to breathe.

"I love you Bella." Edward says to me and I return it, then we hear a throat clearing and we look at Carlisle and I smile at the fact that we both forgot he was here. He reminds us that time is short and hands both Edward and I a photograph each.

I look at mine for a moment and then put in on the bedside table for me to look at more later. Edward looks at the one in his hand and as I am looking at him, I feel a flutter again in my tummy and I quickly place his hand where I felt it and for a moment I think he missed it and I was about to say something, when all of a sudden again I feel the flutter. Only this time I know he felt it too because his whole face lit up and he looked at me with tears in his eyes and I suck in a breath as its heart-warming that the powerful and hardened killer, Edward Mason, has tears of happiness at something as simple as feeling his babies move within me and I am the one he is experiencing this with.

He crushes his lips against mine again for a moment before telling me that he will try and see me later that evening and if not I was not to worry as he was in the building still and he'd let me know he was ok and then he'd see me at our meeting with Aro.

He told me he loved me one more time before walking to the balcony door and carefully walking out, closing it behind him. Carlisle goes to the bedroom door and carefully opens it and I see that Esme is back with another tray of food. Once she puts that down on the bed beside me she looks back at the door and gives me a gentle and quick hug and tells me to rest up.

I smile at her and tell her I would be doing just that. Carlisle finishes up as he had to go before Aro came to check why he was still here with me, gave me a gentle hug as well and told me to eat something before having a shower or bath. However, he said that a bath would be better, but he knew that I had to wash my hair and that was better in the shower, so he had me promise to only wash my hair in the shower and then have a nice long soak in the bathtub.

As soon as he had packed up the equipment and left, I was in that bathroom and in that shower so quick I think my head spun. I washed my hair while I let the bathtub fill up, once I had done that I got out of the shower and turned off the taps to the bath, then I got in and OMG did it feel good to sit in the bath without anyone else around me.

Again I was thankful Aro kept up his promise to keep his wife and daughter away from me as I needed this time, this peace. I sigh in contentment as I lay in this big ass spa bath filled with bath salts and bubbles, this feels really good.

My mind goes over everything from today and I feel a smile spread across my lips, James is dead, his two goons the Danabar brothers are most likely dead because Aro said they were dealt with and the way he said it you can't mistake that tone for anything other than death in our line of work, Victoria is gone as well so I am almost home!

Just need to go through the motions for just over another week and then I am home! Just one more week and a day, I can do that. It's comforting to know that Edward believes I am strong as I really don't feel like I am, but if he believes in me than I can do anything at this point because I am barely hanging in with these sickos.

I get out when the water starts to cool, I am all pruney but completely relaxed. I put my big white fluffy bathrobe and then walk back into the room and into the closet where I get a new set of PJ's. Once dressed I walk back into the room, but stop short when I see Aro sitting on my bed looking at my ultrasound picture.

I sigh and walk over to him, must remember I have to keep pretending to be the perfect daughter, so I keep walking till I was right in front of him.

"What is wrong Aro?" He looks up at me and I see what looks like tears in his eyes and I have to fight to try and keep a straight face as I don't know whether to be scared or creeped out. He doesn't look upset so maybe these are happy tears? Thankfully he doesn't keep me waiting too long and the next thing I know I am being engulfed in a hug and he says in an elated tone

"Oh Isabella, you have made my family and I so happy. You're giving us two grandsons and I saw the beautiful art work you did in the basement; you are truly a remarkable creature. I just wanted to come and make sure you were doing alright and I see you haven't eaten your food, are you not hungry?"

I look over at the trey Esme brought in and realised I completely forgot about the food in my need to get clean. I sigh and look back to Aro and reply

"In all honesty I just wanted to get clean and relax so I completely forgot about the food, but I am hungry." Once that sentence was out of my mouth Aro had me sitting on the bed and then he started to feed me.

Yea you heard that right, Aro started to feed me like I was a fucking god damn baby! I was too tired to fight or complain, not to mention I had to keep up the act and at least this wasn't a sexual thing… well I hope!

While he was feeding me and I was making sure I didn't choke so I could get him the hell out of here quicker. While the food is good, I am barely tasting it because I just want to finish and this silence is deafening.

"You have opened my eyes, Isabella. You taught an old sexist man that females are capable of so much more, to the point that when we leave for our country estate the day after our meeting I will be getting Jane a tutor so she can take over the vineyard on the estate. I know she asked me ages ago, but her mother and I didn't want our children to be away from us, now I wonder if I had of let her go back to Italy if things would have been different.

I hope you know how grateful we are for you coming into our lives, I feel so much lighter knowing that the bad seeds are gone and things are looking up for us as best as possible under the circumstances and it is all because you opened my eyes to what that filth was doing and had been doing. Lucky that Mr. Mason Jnr was willing to work with us and be fair.

Anyway I will go now and let you continue to rest." With that he moves the tray and then lifts my legs up and puts them under the covers on the bed, then he proceeds to tuck me in. I have to hold back a shudder as his hands pass my small baby bump. Seriously pass would be the wrong word for it as it was more like a quick caress that goes too close for comfort to both my groin and under my boobs.

I choose this moment to distract him in the hopes that he will stop and go away. I say

"Thank you Father, I never thought I was capable of any of what I have achieved since being here. I am so glad I chose to say yes to that filth as it led me to learn something about myself. I promise to never let you down, even when you leave here."

Thankfully that did it and he hugs me again before picking up the tray and leaving! Once he is out of sight I sigh in relief, look up into the camera and rub my tattoo hoping that Edward was watching and knows that I miss and love him.

I lean over and grab my book and settle in for the rest of the afternoon to wait and see if Edward can come and visit me like he said he would. I hope so as he is my home and I just want to be home with him.

I know it isn't home home while still being here, but it's a start for right now that I need.
