They live their lives...
knowing every day could be their last.

Bella Swan is invisible.

No one in the small town of Forks Washington even notices the faint scars or angry bruises left over from the beatings her father claims is for her own good. Her mother long gone, she lives every day in fear knowing that it could very well be her last if she steps out of line. The only thing Bella can cling to for hope is the thought that she could leave her hellish life the day she turns eighteen.

Edward Cullen is the son of a dangerous man.

Ever since he was abducted as a child, he has blamed his father and his deep connection to the La Cosa Nostra for the traumatic effects it's had on him over the years. Suffering from recurring nightmares and feeling a guttural hatred for those involved with the organization, Edward must contend with the fact that the head of the La Cosa Nostra has big plans for him and his future.

FACTS

Q: It could go either way. [Either] Edward has a girl in his room, or the chiefs daughter is spying. What's gonna happen?
A: Oh I'll never tell. Well until the next chapter is posted anyway lol then you will know all hahaha yes neither is a very good outcome right? Especially since the girl Edward has in his room is the one he was specifically told to say away from.

Q: "Edward was kidnapped by some enemies of his dad when he was little?"
A: Yes, but we won't find out by who or why until later since...Edward doesn't know either. :)

C: "You are solely to blame if I go blind for reading this on my iPhone. I couldnt put it down long enough to start up my computer."
A: I'm sorry hun!! like I said...I take full responsibility for your eyes now, send me the bill for the glasses :)!!


Q: "So it's okay for Alice and Emmett to get with someone and no one notices but Edward can't care about someone? His father is pretty unfair. Also, they obviously know that Edward still has trauma from his childhood, why does Carlisle act like Edward will be expected to take over or join or whatever? Doesn't his parents want him to go to college and to stay out of the "loop"?
A: Of course Carlisle is unfair, he's a member of the La Cosa Nostra. But it also has to do with who Edward cares about. Jasper is already a member of the mafia, and Carlisle really doesn't know about Rosalie yet. Also, Yes both Carlisle and Esme know that Edward has issues stemming from the past, but who says they haven't tried to help him before? Edwards past hasn't been addressed yet, so before you go full on Eslisle hate mode, keep that in mind. Remember, Edward has always been a stubborn guy. Who knows what Marcus has in store for Edward, or for Carlisle...maybe Marcus does want Edward to become a made man one day.


C: "They should really tell Esme so she can go shoot him."

A: **FUll EDWARD VOICE** That's an intriguing idea...but no. Esme won't be shooting Charlie, though there would be some kind of poetic justice in that I think. Charlie getting shot by a woman?



C: "I'm sorry but Alice is a little two-faced. She says she wants to be Bella's friend. And yet just because daddy says it isn't safe for either of them she should leave her alone. And the fact is she didn't question it further. A true friend would also be worried when she doesn't show up for school that day. Plus, she seems to not mind Em and Rose. Emmett should be on Edward's side a little more seeing as he's with Rose and their dad doesn't know."

A: Ok so I had a feeling that some would be a little upset with Alice after this last chapter. Don't forget that Alice isn't the rebel of the family, she does what her parents tell her most of the time because well...they're her parents. Also, that doesn't mean she didn't question Carlisle on it, and it doesn't mean she is turning her back on Bella. Alice is not fully aware of what's going on with Bella, and if she thinks Bella will be safer if she stays away...Alice will stay away. As far as Emmett goes, he doesn't even know about the relationship blossoming between our hero and heroine. I know that Rosalie's and Emmett's relationship has been sort of just skimmed so far, but you will get more, trust!!
