Sure,after Jasper and Emmett try to repair something, here comes Carlisle to break it. And Edward is just so stubborn and utterly blind! I hate how he just doesn't realise what he puts Bella through 

Reviewer: blueberrymuffins7 Signed [Report This]
Date: 26 Oct 2010 7:02 PM Title: Chapter 22

Thinks seems to get better. Hopefully Edward will keep defending Bella from his father. Poor Esme is the only one who won't find her happy ending, for I can't see any hope of redemption in Carlisle

I was impressed by Bella's speech and more impressed that Edward heard it and started to realise Jasper was right.

The attack was awful, but the good part is that two monsters are out. Can't wait for the others to dissapear.

Jasper's always right:P

 

Reviewer: blueberrymuffins7 Signed [Report This]

So,it's about his education that made Edward's who he is. I still hope he will change-he will become more patient and he will treat Bella as his equal.

I think Carlisle is as sick as James and Charlie,but I'm still not sure why he wanted Edward not to come to Forks. 

Reviewer: blueberrymuffins7 Signed [Report This]
Date: 26 Oct 2010 4:39 PM Title: Chapter 13

I still don't like Edward. The violence act and the fact he treats Bella like a doll are two of the reasons. However, he seems to change the more time he spends with her. And the fact that he questions why she would choose some books over designer clothes and diamonds is a sign that he starts to know her better. And knowing her better would mean treating her better, which would result in making Edward more likeable:d  



Author's Response:

You'll find out more about Edward as the story goes on. Abusers come from abusers. Someone has to see the wrong and be willing to break the cycle.

I finished 10 painfully to read chapters:P I so hope things will get better from now on



Author's Response:

Things begin to get better. There's only a couple more painful chapters but you get a break.

Reviewer: blueberrymuffins7 Signed [Report This]
Date: 25 Oct 2010 5:19 PM Title: Chapter 7

Firstly, I am a bit disappointed at Edward for agreing with all the stuff. I hoped at least him would be normal, but it seems he is just a bit more human.

Secondly, ''What is it with the men of Forks? Who the hell raised them to be such cold-hearted, twisted people?'' That's exactly what I was wondering.



Author's Response:

There is a decent male in this story, you just haven't met him yet.

Reviewer: blueberrymuffins7 Signed [Report This]

I am speechless. So they prepare Bella for Edward and I assume that Alice and Rose were also ''teached'' by Charlie and James. Gah, I hate those monsters!

  

Reviewer: blueberrymuffins7 Signed [Report This]
Date: 23 Oct 2010 10:55 PM Title: Chapter 2

I am speechless. The two men are so cruel and this is my first twific with such a dark Charlie. And Bella is just so naive and obedient. She knows she can't defeat them, so she doesn't even try, which makes the story more frustrating.



Author's Response:

Remember where Bella's head is right now. She's just lost her mother and stepfather and been pulled away from her sheltered life for the past 10 years. She's scared and grieving. When is the best time to take advantage or manipulate someone?  When they're already at rock bottom. They don't give her time to get her bearings before knocking her down even further. She's 17 and never had to deal with anything remotely like she is now.  She's isolated and alone.

Date: 23 Oct 2010 10:35 PM Title: Chapter 1

I guess frightened it's a good word to describe me right now. Your story it's very dark and though I know that things will get worse, I feel the need to read.

However, it's a great first chapter and I really like your writing style.

Oh, I almost forgot. In A Mother's Love Renee said ''We have done everything we could to ensure Bella’s safety from Charlie. We had wills in place naming JJ and Teri legal guardians if anything should happen to me while Bella was still a minor''. So why did she end up with Charlie & James?



Author's Response:

Be prepared becuase ch 3-10 get a WHOLE LOT WORSE.  I swear they don't stay that way and Bella gets her happy ending. You'll find out how bella ended up back in Forks toward the end of the story. Someone had a hand in what happened.

Hi,

I've been sticked to my computerscreen since I started reading this story...

It was very good! there all kinds of words that I would normally use for a story, but they don't fit... The subject is just not very suitable.

Thanks for the 'fun' you've given me!

Hey woman, how have you been?

You know I've been around since the beginning and was saddened to see your story evaporate from FFN, but I'm glad that I found it on here.

And I'm super stoked that you gave the promised HEA ending, it was awesome and worked well.

You know us Texas girls gotta stick together, I'm glad that your story found it's own safe place here at the coffee shop.

What a worldwind of emotions with this story!  I'm so happy for the HEA.  That was a great story and deserved the award for Most Unique Plot.  There were times when I wanted to stop reading becasue of the difficulty of the situation, I just didn't know if I could get through it, but I couldn't stop reading.  You pulled me in and literally made me feel Bella and Edward and you had me guessing and holding my breath.  What a wonderful story tell her you are.

I got an account at this website just to read the rest of this story, so glad I did!

This was such an awesome story--and I have to admit the premise freaked me out a bit at first and I avoided reading it...but it kept popping up when I looked for stories to read.  I finally decided to bite the bullet and give it a try and oh my god, was it freaky, but so good and interesting to read.

There was a while there that I really did believe that this story would not have a happy ending--I'm glad it did end nicely.  This would definitely make for a wonderful novel and I hope to see you get published :-D

Oh, Thank God!!!!!  Now, just to save her from your own father.  I honestly don't know if I can read about Carlisle attacking her.  It was hard enough reading about Charlie, which just disgustged me, but I expected it from James.   But just having the love for candid Carlisle, it's very hard to read about him being a monster.  I'm just praying this story has some mercy for Bella and it doesn't happen.

I promise I know what Bella (and readers) can and can't handle at this point in the story. That's all I can really say without giving anything away.  Trust me.  :)

I'm sorry I haven't reviewed until now.  I know the story is completed.  I'm not even sure if you'll get this review.  But, I just have to say, this is disturbing.  What kind of monsters would do this to their own daughter, flesh and blood!  I'm just horrified!   However, your writing is exceptional and regardless of the content you have captured my attention (and disgust...not at you) and just am sitting here reading this and cannot stop because I can't just stop reading and now know that she's going to be all right.  I hope to God that Edward is not a horrible person and her hope ends up coming true.

wow! just, wow. someone on twitter recommended this story and the only description she gave was "Bella was forced to marry Edward" & I searched for this story on ff.net, thinking it's a romantic com (based on my experiences on fics that I've read w/ the same premise) until another tweet lead me to a blogsite then that blogsite lead me here in TWCS. ONLY to find out by the 1st chapter of this fic that IT IS ANYTHING BUT ROM-COM!

Neverthless not even the hardcoreness & brutality that Bella suffered from those evil, evil men stopped me from reading this. You are a gifted writer and I like that you get to the point of the story as straight and as quickly as you can. Truly, you never disappoint with each chapter. Congratulations on this wonderful fic and to the future book that this fic will spawn.

I don't know if you are already aware of this but you are nominated for some awards on The Immortal Sin Awards https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dG83UkNhbUJSSkZlRmxqVUdPaGc4Y3c6MQ&ifq

This was one of the hardest, most compelling, most difficult stories I have every read. You blew me away. And kept me awake. God those early chapters had me so disturbed. How strange to say, but it was some phenomenal writing. You make me afraid to post my own writing because I read you and that shit is good. Thanks for wrapping it up in an HEA. If ever there was a story that could go all "leaving las vegas", this is it, but you turned it around in a really well written way.

When does eveyone turn on Carlisle, because I love this story but I cannot see this psyco rape Bella, or give her to Dimitri or anything else. I want to see them tie him and his brother and shit burn.. what chapter does his shit hit the fan and his sons and the girls beat the shit out of him? I hope you will tell me because I am gonna throw my computer if I cannot have happy time soon with this horrifying and tragic story? I have cried dozens of times and let out horrified gasps, but all I want to do is skip past the bad and finally let them all have some good. Esme needs to be cut the fuck free, and Carlisl is some sick fuck, just as sick as Charlie if not fucking worse. I love this story and I will most likely re-read after I see they are happy but I cannot deal with fucking pshyco before my happily ever after. God this would be horrifying to live through being one of the woman. I would kill myself.. I sure as hell would rather kill myself than be physically and mentally abused all the time.. so please give me a cheat for what chapter the shit hits the fan. Oh and I hope B tells edward because I have a feeling he will freak the fuck out and kill the SOB if he found out what happend to B and why she is so scared of his dad.

PS please tell mee... I am laying here dying! :)

Reviewer: Tumblin_Di Signed [Report This]
Date: 07 Sep 2010 8:11 PM Title: Epilogue

The beginning of the story was...well, you know.  The middle made me angry.  So many men in this world still see women as objects, and dismiss their feeling, thoughts and needs.  Too many men are abusive.  When reading this, it really brought out the subtleties of treating women as 'less than'.

I think most women can recall some times in their lives when they've had experiences that made them feel like something was wrong.

I loved that Bella told Edward to let her go!  I was surprised and elated. This is probably the only E/B story where I could have accepted if Bella would have left and never came back.

I would have liked to have known more about the 'Edward, five years later'.

I thought you said something about and Esme outtake.  I didn't see it.  Did you write one.  In my mind, Esme scattered his ashes throughout the gardens so Carlisle would finally contribute some nurturing-in the form of fertilizer.

There are a few points that I wasn't really happy about at first, but I think you worked them quite well.  Getting therapy was #1.  I read stories where abuse has taken place, and people miraculously overcome them.  I commend you for adding that bit.  I know the stories I read are fiction, but I personally feel that when it comes to things like abuse, an author should take five minutes and do a little research, and at the very least, suggest that help is there for women.  THANK YOU.

Your story was amazingly well written.  It had a nice flow, didn't go off on unrelated and unnecessary offshoots.  It was smartly written, and I don't believe you cow-towed to people's opinions.  

I wished that Charlie and James had not been related to Bella, and that the abuse scenes were less descriptive (I know, I read the warnings, just giving you my wish list). 

Please give my Lillie Cullen a big old "Job well done!" for me.  'Cause, really, she's outstanding.  I freaking hate punctuation when I'm writing, but when I'm reading, errors scream out at me! (They are really loud, too)

Thank you for sharing your story,

Tumblin' Di

Thank you so much for your review.  I love reviews like this because they help me so much learn to grow as a writer - knowing what I did right AND what I did wrong.  TPW was my first attempt at writing and was started on a dare by one of my kids.  I wanted to see just how dark I could go (thus the beginning).  I began getting emails and pm's from readers sharing their own stories of surviving abuse and thanking me for not sugar-coating the truth.  I began to delve deeper into the characters and looking at more than just Bella's abuse to show the cycle of abuse and how its passed down by generations.  I wanted to show both the victim and the abuser could overcome. 

I am working on rewriting the story to an original manuscript which will be published sometime next year.  I've learned alot writing this story and the book will not have the graphic beginning.  I'll focus more on the psychological aspect of her abuse and skim the sexual abuse.  The ending will have more information about the time after Carlisle dies to the wedding.  I had already been approached about publishing TPW when I was working on the last few chapters but refused to pull the story before the ending.  This 'vague' ending was the compromise for the book.

As for Esme's outtake - I'm still working on it.  I should have it ready in a couple of weeks.  I focused this summer writing a book that is due out by Nov, so everything else had to be put on the back burner.  Now the book is finished, I can get my head back into my ff stories.

I agree 100% with you...Lillie is THE BEST!!!!

Again, thanks for reading and I hope you'll check out my other stories and give them a shot  if you haven't already.

Take care,

Mic

Still ok with Bella gutting Edward.  I hope the story ends with Bella getting all of her money, and Edward going to jail and being a big, ugly, sweaty, toothless guy's bitch.

This story is just fabulous! I've read it almost non-stop the last few days and loved every moment of it. Your plot is quite unique and adds to the greatness that is this story. I loved seeing Bella begin to grow even under the repression by the males in her life. The ending was perfect and absolutely beautiful. I'm glad that Carlisle, the true villain, got his comeuppance. All of this has been exceptionally well conceived and I want to thank you for creating and sharing such an amazing story.

Brilliant!

ok so that was nice though i don't think we needed the suspense that it was edward because well duh, but anyway its nice to see that everyone is doing well. wonder what charlisle would think about his house becoming a domestic abuse shelter? (Smiles evily)

Think satan told him?

He brought her flowers awe how sweet!

wow, yeah, thought i might puke there at the begining but glad to see that the monster was vanquished. i liked the line "evil is easier to believe when its ugly" its so very true and not just for this story but for life we don't want to believe that the all american boy next door really beats his high school sweet heart wife when no one looks or that the kindly neighbor is really a peodophile evil is so much simpler if its the scary homeless guy. or better yet if like in the old western the bad guys just wore black hats.

the chapter ended nicely Carlisle deservered far worse he got to be the hero at least to the outside world. But at least he's fertilizer now, or is he? wouldn't he have wanted at least some part of his ashes to be left with renea a sort of heathclif and Catherine HEA in his sick twisted mind?

hopefully edward has heard the saying if you love some one let them go if they don't return they were never yours. She'll come back she just needs to spread her wings.

Date: 11 Aug 2010 4:52 AM Title: Chapter 47

ok so i've followed the story since it was back on FF and I must say that i became a bit impatient an just decided to come back when i knew you had finished it and i'm quiet happy i waited because honestly i'm about to crawl up a wall if i had to wait to read the next chapter you'd probably find me rocking in a corner going but...but...but...

so i've said before that i hate this Carlisle because he is one of my favorites from the books, but other than name and occupation there isn't anything that makes the two men the same so i'm over that one and so hoping that there is an olander flower or a hemlock tree that esme has so that she can poison the lot of them!

and edward he could just tell her that they need to pretend you know like the other boys did. surely that would work. of course when he finds out that carlisle wants to "share" bella with him then he'll be the one committing murder. of course esme would probably say that she did it.

think i'm gonna shut up now and just read the rest.

I don't think that the secret was of such magnitude that Esme wouldn't tell her until now...I don't think the secret is as big as I expected... Pretty good chapter, other than that!



Author's Response:

The reason Esme kept it a secret is because she didn't want Bella to just settle and look for a way to deal with life.  She wanted her to fight for the right kind of life with Edward to save Bella and Edward.  She sees Bella giving up now and wants to give her a coping mechanism if things don't work out

YAY!!!! I knew he wouldn't do it!!! The question is, since we know how sick Demetri and Marcus are, what if they ask to see the bruises wherever he whipped her? What would Edward say to that without making them suspicious? Can't wait for the answer to Esme's garden!

NOOO! I was sorta hoping that they would fake it somehow, just have her scream and then put water in her eyes to irritate them or something like that.. God, Edward is so dumb! Why doesn't he think of that? Although I hate what he's about to do, it was a very good chapter!

Now everything makes sense, I missed out chapter 52.

And really, Carlise makes me sick. After that flashback memory Edward had where Carlise was treating Bella like his own daughter, and then he goes and decides that his son should share his wife with him... really disgusting. Possibly worse than Charlie.

I can't believe I finally finshed reading this. I think I'm going to miss jumping around from website to website to read it though.

I'm slightly confused about two things though: 1) How did Carlise die? 2) are you rewriting this to publish as your own novel?

 



Author's Response:

When Demetri pushed/punched Carlisle, he lost his balance stumbling back into the broken table laying on the floor behind him.  He fell and a piece of wood that was sticking up stabbed him in the neck killing him.  Lame I know, but I didn't feel confident at the time writing a whole fight to death scene.  I've gotten a little better since then with a new novel I'm writing.

Yes, TPW is going to be published after the first of the year with everything Twilight removed.  there will be some changes to the story (the graphic beginning) and there will be new material included.  It may be broken into 2 books just because of its size.  I'll know more as I work on it.

Right now I'm working on an all original novel that's almost complete and due to be published later this year. You can read the first 2 chapters right here.  I'd love to know what you think.

I can honestly say... Thank you, for allowing not only myself, but many other people read this story. It is inspiring in many ways, while the plot itself is quite out-of-the-ordinary, it is very worth the effort to finish. It shows that love can triumph over the bad (putting it lightly, of course ;p), everytime. I have to admit that I found myself wanting to click out, due to the content itself, but I pushed through and I am darn happy I did. Thank you again. :D
