Edward was out with Emmett, getting some driving lessons. I was working in my office, recovering from a mild case of bronchitis that I’d gotten while in Hawaii. With the injury to my lungs from being shot, I was more susceptible to upper respiratory infections that could morph into bronchitis or even worse, pneumonia. Our trip to Kauai caused me to catch a bug that turned into bronchitis. While Edward ran his errand upon our arrival, he was kind enough to call Dr. Banner. He prescribed an antibiotic and steroid nebulizer.

However, when Edward came back from his errand, he was quiet, almost jumpy. I asked him what was wrong, but he didn’t reply, deflecting or changing the subject. I figured he had to process it with his journal or talk to Marina. When he was ready, he’d approach me.

My reverie was interrupted. There was a quiet knock on my door. With my raspy, husky voice, I beckoned them to enter. My dad walked in. I bristled, still pissed about his recent asshole-like behavior. “You sound awful,” he said.  

“It is what it is,” I shrugged. “What do you want, Charlie?”

“I wanted to talk to you about Edward,” he sighed, sitting down across from me. His face was stern, almost pinched. “Did you know he came to see me?”

I blinked up, wanting to smack the self-satisfied smirk off his face. “I wouldn’t put it past him. He was pretty pissed about your little bombshell, Chuck,” I snapped. “If Edward Masen Sr. was such a good friend, why didn’t you know that he died? On top of that, why didn’t you treat Edward better when you met him? You said that Edward was almost the spitting image of your bestie! Yet, you treated him like shit. And let’s not talk about the way you acted while I was in the hospital? Completely reprehensible!”

“I know,” he growled. “I’m a shit father. I get that. I heard it from Edward and your reminders are just fucking salt in the wound.”

“So, Edward said that you were a bad dad. Good for him. You were,” I sneered. “Especially after Mom died. Yes, I had access to the best nannies, best education, best opportunities, but the one thing I needed was a parent, Dad. I needed to be loved and if it was Edward who pointed that out; he’s smarter than you.”

“I’m not going to win with either one of you,” he sighed, falling back against the chair.

“What do you expect, Charlie? Whatever Edward said was probably warranted and I’m still unbelievably pissed off at you. I don’t know if I’ll be able to forgive you or trust you. I know that Edward decided to invoke his partnership in Swan Hotels LLC.,” I said, arching a brow.

“He gave me the paperwork when you got back. You and Edward now own Swan Hotels, LLC.,” Charlie muttered. “I got everything I wanted … a chance to retire and live out my life without having to stress out about my hotels. But, at what cost? My daughter? My family?”

“It would appear so. Dad, you made your choices. In time, I might be able to get over this, but for now, I need time. A lot of time. Edward needs time and if you think this coming to tattle on him is going to make me choose you over him, it’s not going to happen,” I said, narrowing my eyes. “I will always love you, Dad. I just don’t think that what you did was forgivable. You abandoned me and you treated Edward like crap, a man who survived hell. Your behavior didn’t ingratiate you to him and I don’t blame him. Now, if you don’t mind. I have to run my company.” I turned to my computer, looking at the screen and scrutinizing the quarterly expense report. As I was checking different ways to further promote the hotels with a new advertising agency, my dad got up and left.

“Dad?” I squeaked. “What are you doing here?”

“Come, baby girl,” he said, taking my arm. “Let’s head back home.”

“Where’s home?” I snarled. “The hotel?”

“Bella, let’s just get out of here and we can hear what your dad has to say,” Edward said quietly, his arm around my waist. I gave my dad a glare as we made our way through the reporters and into the waiting limo. Everyone clambered in, including my father. Edward barked that we wanted to go to the hotel. I was grateful for him because if I opened my mouth, I would tell my father to fuck off. I stayed cuddled in Edward’s arms as we made our way to Swan Towers. Parking in the garage, we all got out and rode up to my father’s suite. I was anxious and sick, even though I should be cheering that Esme was found guilty.

“If you don’t mind, I’d like to talk to my daughter and her boyfriend alone,” Charlie said.

“Why should she listen to you?” Rose snapped. “You abandoned her while she was fucking recovering, you asshole.”

“Rosalie, you’re still my employee,” Charlie growled.

“No, she’s mine,” I argued. “But, we’ll be fine.” Rose gave Charlie a glower and got off on her floor with Carlisle and Elizabeth. Edward and I rode up to the top floor where my dad’s penthouse was located. It looked exactly like mine, with the layout, but the décor was different. We walked inside and settled onto the couch. Charlie tossed his coat onto the dining room table and sat down on one of the chairs. “What do you want, Charlie?”

“Enough with the attitude, Isabella,” he snapped.

“I think her attitude is warranted, Mr. Swan,” Edward retorted. “She’s not a child and the way you acted while she was in the hospital was deplorable.”

Scrubbing his face, Charlie sat back and sighed. “You’re right. I was an asshole. What I did was appalling. Bella, you are my only daughter and I abandoned you when you needed me the most.”

I stayed with Mrs. Masen until she drifted off. Despite the medication she received, her face was not relaxed and her posture was rigid. I kissed her temple, leaving her room and trying to calm down. Esme Platt was one truly vindictive bitch. I understood why Edward couldn’t walk away from her. Esme could do anything to his mother since she was her legal guardian if Edward was unavailable.

And don’t even get me started on how she convinced him. Why would he agree to that? He knows what Esme is capable of.

Fuck. My. Life.

I waved at Carmen, going out to my car and driving away from the nursing home. I picked up my cell phone, dialing Edward’s burn cell, but per usual, it went straight to the non-existent voicemail. With a sigh, I tossed my phone into the passenger seat and drove back to the hotel. Using the valet to park my car, I checked on Jessica and Lauren before going up to my suite so I could make some dinner.

I was just sitting down with my Lean Cuisine and a glass of wine when there was a brusque knock at my door. Grumbling, I got up and opened it up. Rose and Emmett were standing on the other side. They were holding hands, looking freshly fucked.

“Your blouse is buttoned wrong,” I pointed out bitterly to Rose.

“Shit,” she spat, quickly fixing it. “Are you busy?” She walked in with Emmett on her heels.

“I was just sitting down to eat,” I answered, pointing to my pitiful meal.

“That’s not busy,” Rose scoffed, sitting down and wrinkling her nose at my beef enchilada. “Do you need to take a shit, Bells?”

“Rose, don’t be crass,” I scowled.

“What? There is more fiber in there than a jar full of Metamucil that my grandmother uses,” Rose snickered. I picked up my meal, tossing it into the refrigerator and sat down opposite that nauseating twins. Emmett was practically mauling Rose’s neck. She melted against his chest, practically unhinging her jaw to kiss him.

“Yo! Porn stars! I don’t want you to fuck on my sectional,” I spat, snapping at them. “Why are you interrupting my oh-so delectable meal?”

“Bella, there’s a phone call for you on line two,” said Jessica, standing by the entrance to my office. “It’s a man. Jared?”

“Thank you, Jess,” I said. “Can you please close the door?” She nodded and left me to take the phone call. I’d been searching for Jared since my ‘date’ with Edward that happened a week ago. I was concerned about him since Felix was now Edward’s driver. Blowing out a breath, I picked up the phone. “Jared?”

“Miss Bella,” he whispered. He sounded older, more haggard. “I’m sorry I haven’t called you back. I was, um, unavailable …”

“You lie for shit, Jared,” I said. “Where are you?”

“I’m at home,” he replied. “I had an accident.”

“I’m coming to you, Jared,” I murmured.

“Don’t! I’m afraid that I’m being watched, Miss Bella,” Jared said.

“Then, let me send a car for you,” I pushed. “I’m certain you’re calling for the same reason why I was trying to contact you.”

“Very well,” he sighed.

He gave me his address and I contacted Carlisle, asking him to pick up Jared. I worked, not really paying attention to what I was doing. An hour later, Carlisle came into my office with a bruised and battered Jared. I stood up, my eyes wide and scampered to him. “What happened to you?” I asked, helping him to the couch.

“Something happened to my limo. When the police investigated, it appeared that my brake lines were cut,” Jared said. “I was lucky. It could have been a lot worse.”

The rest of the evening went by uneventfully. Paul and Tanya disappeared and did not return. Charlie gave a speech at nine, thanking everyone for coming and announcing Bella as the general manager for the brand new Swan Towers, slated to open to the public tomorrow morning. The hotel was almost sold out with out of town guests, native Seattleites and bustling business travelers. Bella also gave a brief speech and she looked so poised and elegant at the podium. She did, however, ignore her father’s affections after she finished speaking, walking back to me.

Rose walked over to us, asking why she rebuffed her father. Bella didn’t answer her question, saying she’d explain it to her tomorrow. After the speeches, a hired DJ began playing some upbeat music. Bella and I sat down in some of the sleek furniture in the lobby while the guests began dancing. Jacob and Rose went out onto the dance floor, having a grand old time. I slid my arm over Bella’s shoulder, running my finger down her slender, but muscular arm. “Do you want to join them?”

“Oh, me and dancing? It’s not pretty,” she snorted. “I’m surprised that I didn’t break anything with the heels that Rose insisted I wear with this dress. Heaven forbid I wear flats and ruin this entire outfit.”

“I never understood how a pair of shoes can ruin an outfit,” I snickered. “I think you’d look beautiful with or without heels. But, I’d like to take you out onto the dance floor for at least one dance.”

“One dance, Mr. Masen,” she purred. “And it has to be a slow dance. I don’t think I could do that in these shoes.” She indicated Rose and Jacob doing something called Whip/Nae Nae.

We walked into the lobby and Bella was practically attacked by some chic-looking people. She hugged them, giving them kisses on the cheeks. From her tense posture, she didn’t feel comfortable around them and she shuddered when one woman mentioned Riley.

“I’m sorry to hear about you and Riley,” said the woman, her voice breathy, sounding like Marilyn Monroe who smoked three packs a day. Her face was filled with collagen and she was far too old to be wearing the slinky dress she had on, nor was it appropriate for the occasion. “He was such a handsome man.”

“Aunt Tanya, Riley cheated on me,” Bella said, pursing her lips. Aunt Tanya smirked. I think. I couldn’t tell because of the sheer amount of Botox she had done to her face. Bella’s eyes widened and she flushed angrily. “Fuck, with you, too? Why?”

“Why not?” Aunt Tanya replied, adjusting her too-large breasts that were almost spilling out of her too-small dress. “He wanted this. Why deny him? He was a formidable lover. He made me so wet.”

Ugh. Ew.

“I hope you were protected, Aunt Tanya. He’s diseased,” Bella spat. “And put some fucking clothes on. You look like a two-bit whore.”

“How dare you!” Aunt Tanya growled. “I’m still your family and deserve to be respected!”

“You’re not family. You are like Riley. A gold-digger,” Bella sneered. “Sometimes, I question Uncle Paul’s sanity.” Aunt Tanya walked off in a huff, teetering in her Lucite stripper heels and finding an older gentleman, with salt and pepper hair. Bella blew out a breath and clenched her fists. “Sorry about that.”

“She’s your aunt?” I asked.

“Yep. By marriage, unfortunately."

We walked through the lobby, smiling and greeting various people until we reached a statuesque brunette with a shorter, slender man with spiked hair. “Bells!” smiled the brunette. “I’m glad we went with the red dress. It suits you.”

“Thanks, Rose,” Bella replied, running her hand over the skirt. “I still think it is a little too much, but it does make a statement.”

“Girl, if I were straight, I’d do you,” said the guy. “But, I’m happily engaged to the man of my dreams. You are coming to the wedding, right?”

“For the millionth time, Jacob, yes!” Bella laughed. “I RSVP’ed to Seth last week. Yeesh!”

“Are you going to bring your date?” Jacob asked, his eyes cutting to mine and licking his lips. 

“You’re absolutely gorgeous. I’m Jacob Black and if you decide to become gay, call me.”

“What about your fiancé?” I quipped.

“He’d love to meet you, too,” Jacob snickered. “What’s your name, stud?”

“I’m Eddie, um, Edward,” I stammered. “Edward Masen.”

“Nice to meet you, Edward,” Jacob smiled, hugging me tightly.

“Jacob is a huge flirt,” Bella hissed, giving him a playful scowl. “Jacob is my father’s personal assistant and closest confidante.”

“AHEM!” Rose cut in, giving Bella a gentle nudge.

“And this obnoxious bitch is my assistant and supposed best friend, Rosalie Hale,” Bella snorted.

“I’m not an obnoxious bitch. Slut, yes. Bitch, sometimes. Obnoxious? Not so much,” Rose shrugged, shaking my hand. “It’s nice to meet you, Ed.”

“It’s Edward,” I said. Esme was adamant on us never using nicknames. I almost broke that rule when I introduced myself to Jacob.

“You’ll quickly learn that Rose will call you by a nickname, regardless if you want it or not. I’m Bells. Jacob is called Cub and my dad, Charlie, is called Chuck,” Bella explained. “If you get a nickname, you’re in the club and Rose likes you.”

“A nickname based off your name. Riley’s nickname is cheating douchebag prick,” Rose growled, sipping her champagne.

The next morning, I woke up early to make Esme breakfast. She barely acknowledged me as she ate the omelet I prepared for her. Once she was finished, she looked up at me. “You have two hours to get a haircut this afternoon and find something to wear in the closet in the office. You will look extra special for Isabella.”

“Do you think I can spend some time …” I trailed off.

“No. You lost that privilege for a month,” Esme barked. “A part of your punishment for the negative review, Edward.”

I bit my tongue, wanting to argue with her. She needed me. Not being able to see me will cause her to deteriorate further! Esme smirked evilly, getting up from her perch at the breakfast bar. “Say you love me, Edward.”

“I love you, Mistress,” I said, leaning forward and kissing her cheek. She hummed, patting my ass as she left. Once she was gone, I glared at the door. “Fucking bitch. I hate you,” I muttered under my breath before I went to do the dishes. I spent the morning cleaning up the condo until a car was sent for me to get a haircut and choose my attire for this evening. Esme never allowed me to get my driver’s license. It was one of her many controls she wielded over me. Besides, driving scared me in the first place. My father was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was an innocent while some asshole hit his car head on.

“Bella?” came the distant voice of my best friend and assistant. I groaned, burrowing deeper into my bed. After I got off the phone with Edward, I opened up a bottle of wine.

Or four.

Four bottles of wine, at the time, seemed like a good idea.

Now?

Not so much.

“Isabella Marie Swan-Biers!” barked Rose, ripping the covers from my body. “What the fuck is wrong with you?”

“Leave me alone,” I slurred, glaring at her. “And I’m not Biers anymore, bitch.”

“Unfortunately, your ex-douchebag has yet to sign those divorce papers, so legally, you still are Isabella Biers,” Rose snorted. “Why do you smell like a winery?” She sat down next to me and it made the bed move, which made my stomach lurch. I whimpered, falling out of the bed and crawling to my bathroom to worship the porcelain god. Rose followed me, turning on the shower. “Bells, you’ve got to leave in a half hour. Why are you still drunk? When did you start drinking?”

“Ugh, last night after I got off the phone with Edward,” I said, clinging to my toilet like it was my life raft. “I kind of insulted his vocation and made him feel like a cheap whore. Oh, wait, that’s because he is.”

“Not so cheap, Bells. This guy is costing you more than I paid for my first car and that’s with the blow job I gave the sales guy,” Rose snorted.

“You are such a slut,” I deadpanned, flushing the toilet and heaving my body up.

“I know and I don’t dispute it,” she smirked.

I was staring at the card that Rose had given me. It was a sleek-looking card with black embossed lettering. The website was also sleek-looking. There was nothing mentioned about sex or the fact that these handsome, sharp-looking men were escorts, being paid for their time. There were a few men that piqued my attention, but I kept going back to Edward. There was something about his handsome, crooked smirk and his jade eyes. I prayed he was still available for tomorrow evening. He was who I wanted.

“Staring at the card will not make the phone magically work, Bells,” Rose chuckled from her spot on the couch. “Your dad has this bug up his ass that you need to have a date for this opening. Hell, even I have a date for this she-bang. Chuck said that I had to be on the arm of some handsome thing.”

“Yes, Dad. I know,” I grumbled. “I have a date! I promise you. I will not come to the opening of Swan Towers unattended.” Maybe I can bring Rosalie. My father didn’t say that the date had to be male.

“You can’t just bring Rosalie, Isabella Marie,” Dad grumped.  Damn it. “Your picture is already splashed on the newspaper gossip section because of your good-for-nothing ex-husband. I told you not to marry that asshole!” Fucker.

Don’t remind me, Charlie. “He’s not my ex yet, Dad,” I muttered. “Riley, the asshole, has yet to sign the divorce paperwork. He thinks he can get more money out of our settlement. Unlikely. He signed a pre-nup.”

“At least you listened to me about that, Isabella Marie. Do I need to send over Carlisle to kick his ass?” Dad snarled. I rolled my eyes. “I will. I got him a new gun for his birthday and I’m certain that Carlisle would love to try it out on Riley’s cheating ass. Use his balls for target practice.”

“Tempting, Charlie,” I deadpanned. “But, if he dies, they will come to me first. I don’t want to go to jail for having my ex-husband assassinated, as nice as that would be. Relax, though. I have a date for the opening. And no, it’s not Rose. I love her, but not in that way.” I shot a look at my best friend. She was filing her nails as she worked on her iPad. “It’s a friend of hers.”

“Well, as long as you have a date, that’s all that matters. We have an image to uphold, Isabella,” Dad said. “Your ex-husband is not helping that image.”

“I know, Dad. You’ve told me about a hundred times,” I sighed, falling back onto my bed in the penthouse of Swan Towers. “Trust me to have an appropriate date for the opening tomorrow night.”

“And get Riley to sign the divorce papers,” Dad said.
