"I could die...get popped off one day, and that's something I've always been okay with. I've never been scared of death, but I didn't...I wouldn't want to leave my son...or daughter...with no one...I wouldn't want to leave Bella either." I read this and thought "Yes, he is finally growing up and realizing what his lifestyle may cost him. as
I'm really glad that Edward has told Bella that he will be there for her, no matter what. She really needed to hear that.
Thanks!

I'm really glda that Edward is wise to CJ. That will keep him alive longer.

"I didn't want to leave the house, but I had to act normal, be normal" So not the healthiest way to deal with all this. But, she does need to get out of the house. Be around people so that she can see that she can be normal.
She really is still very screwed-up. But, understandable so. It's going to take a long time for her to deal with all this.
Wonder how long it's going to take Emmett to figure out that he isn't going to find Jake?
Thanks!
Sally

So far, so good. But, she still hasn't told him the BIG news. Guess that will wait until the morning when he's sober.

Oh, these three need to sit down and have a serious conversation about ... everything!

I had a feeling the Elizabeth didn't give a rat's ass about Carlisle. I'm glad I was right. She is just doing what she can to protect Edward. I'm glad she was able to make Bella understand how this all works.
Thanks!

It always amazes me when I read mob stories and family going against family. But, I guess that's the only way they can survive. Really ... survival of the fittest ... or smartest.
So, Edward is fitting right into the 'family'. But, is Jasper going to go along with all of this? Can't wait to see what happens next.
Thanks!

Date: 18 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 51: Chapter 51

Hmmm ... Wonder what Colleoni wants Jasper for? And, more important, what's up with Riley?
On to the next chapter to find out ... maybe.
Date: 26 Jan 2013 Title: Chapter 44: Chapter 44
Edward really is doing very well with consoling her. Now, if she would just try to be honest with him and Jasper, she would feel a whole lot better. But, it's going to take time. Hope she can dedal with Edward being gone for a few days.
Thanks!! So glad that you are able to post this story here.

Thanks!

Well, I feel about as awkward as Edward did. What on earth was Riley thinking?
Glad to have you back, BTW. Thanks!
Sally
Date: 14 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 49: Chapter 49
Well, that was a close call. And, Edward needs to think before he acts. It would be a lot safer for him. Especially since he really doesn't know the lay of the land yet.
Thanks!
Sally
Date: 14 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 50: Chapter 50
Bella's reaction (or rather, lack of reaction) was unexpected. I thought like Edward-she would run right to him. Hmmm ...

"To new beginnings." That is definitely worth celebrating.
Date: 23 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 56: Chapter 56
Uh, oh. I hope she's not pregnant. At least not at this point in her life. She still has so much to deal with just to get over the whole Jake thing and just grow up.
Date: 15 Mar 2013 Title: Chapter 67: Chapter 67
Crazy kids indeed. Between Bella's hormones running rampant, Jasper's over-protective brother act and Edward just caught in the middle, I'm surprised there weren't more explosions.
Well, at least, Edward now knows that Bella is pregnant. Now they both need to mend fences with Jasper.
Thanks!
Sally

At this point, I don't even know who to trust or believe. Everybody is keeping secrets, I think.

Thanks!

Glad to see this in my inbox! Thanks!
Sally
Date: 17 Jul 2013 Title: Chapter 96: Chapter 96
"What the fuck were you thinking when you said yes to Colleoni?" That is exactly what I was thinking. I really didn't think that Jasper was cut out for this life. Hope Edward can keep him safe. 'Cause if he thinks Bella's mad at him now ... Man, if anything happens to her brother there is going to a bigger problem.
"It almost felt as though I slept next to a stranger, or maybe I was the stranger, since I didn't recognize myself...what I was becoming." Glad he though this. He really does need to figure out how he's going to balance everything.
Thanks!
Sally
Date: 31 Jul 2013 Title: Chapter 104: Chapter 104
Yeah, the baby's one the way. I'm atually surprised that Edward is being as calm as he is. I thought he would be panicking more.
Date: 13 Aug 2013 Title: Chapter 110: Chapter 110
I am floored that Bella went behind Edward's back and told his mother to come to the christening ... and stay with them. this should be a really interesting reunion between mother and son.
And, now someone's trying to break-in?
Thanks!
Sally

"I'd grabbed the bat that sits near the front door," I had to laugh at this a little. When I lived in NYC, I used to keep a baseball bat by my front door. Luckily, I never had to use it.
Well, they certainly have a mess to clean up now. And, his mother is coming to stay! Can't wait to see how Edward deals with this now.
Thanks!
Sally
Date: 30 Aug 2013 Title: Chapter 115: Chapter 115
Wow! That was a lot of unknown history revealed. Who knew that Colleoni held a torch for Edward's mom all these years? That was a huge surprise for me. Can't wait to see what happens when Elizabeth arrives in town.
Not as surprised at Carlisle telling Edward that he will be his second in command. Can't wait to see what Edward decides about that.
Thanks!
Sally
Date: 18 Sep 2013 Title: Chapter 119: Chapter 119
Well, that meeting went well, I think. But, is the fur going to fly once Esme gets through the door? Can't wait to find out.
Thanks!
Sally
Date: 18 Sep 2013 Title: Chapter 120: Chapter 120
"So old," Elizabeth repeated. "I thought the same when I saw your face." Oh, I really thought the fur would fly with that statement. But, Esme seems to be on her best behavior.
"She gave me that-it's from AA. She's got two years sober." "And you're toasting to that with Jack Daniel's?" I had to agree with Bella here. It was an odd way to toast his mom's achievement.
Thanks!
Sally
Bella hesitates at the cliff just before she's about to jump when her hallucinatory Edward tells her to move on. He tells her to be happy and she wonders what he means with that. Just then, Jake appears, looking scared when he sees Bella by the edge. Bella wonders if she's supposed to move on and be happy with Jake. AU, Non-Canon.

As much as I think she made the right choice, it's still so hard to see Edward on his knees and groveling. But, he's going to have to live with the consequences of his actions.

Poor Emmett. He is really having a hard time with these changes. But, Bella and Edward do need to venture off on their own. And, it's not like they are going across the country! They are only going to Seattle. And, maybe there is just a little bit of jealousy on Emmett's part--they are getting to move on, have a life; he's stuck in his old life. Maybe he needs to make some changes as well--even a small one--to break out of the drearies they have all been in.

I can imagine how emotionally draining this is for you. It's such a difficult storyline now, dealing with Alice's suicide attempt. But, I did love Jasper's response to Bella asking him what he wanted to do. At this point, I think they all need some pretty intensive therapy in order to cope with everything they have all had to deal with 'cause I don't think any of them is coping very well.
Thanks!

Good to have you back! I think this chapter showed so much of Bella's self-doubt, though I have trouble believing Leah will blame her for what happened. At least, I hope she doesn't. And, I'm with Bella there at the end--what price will have to be paid for Bella's safety?

I figured sooner or later one of the girls was going to snap. Sort of thought it would be Alice. But, it was poor Leah. Wonder how much better it will be if they bring her to the ranch?

Wow, a few surprises in this chapter. Edward gave in to Bella so quickly--didn't expect that. And, Aro blasted Bella. And, even though Alice is worried Bella won't come back, at least she seems to understand why Bella has to go with Edward.
Thanks!

Good to have you back with this story. I feel so bad that Bella has to leave the ranch. She was finally healing a little there. And, that nightmare was horrible. Poor thing.
Thanks!

Interesting evaluation from Garrett, but he probably does have her pegged.
Thanks!

Oh, man, Bella's got a long road to finding forgiveness for herself. As much as the others, except maybe Edward, are pissed at her for going rogue and killing Leah, I think Bella truly thought she had to be the one to kill her.
Thanks!

I really wanted to yell at Bella when she decided to go where she knew Leah would be. But, that is what had to happen. Like Bella, I wish she could have done more for Leah, but as Leah said, she was already dead.
Thanks!

Edward Masen is the most popular escort working for Esme Platt. He’s the best at what he does and no woman ever goes unsatisfied. He’s smooth, sexy, dangerous and in control. In many ways. His employer holds him to this job due to the debt he needs to repay her. He’s a slave to the job in more ways than one. He lives in the best apartments, dresses in the nicest clothes and drives the best cars. All of it, though, can disappear in a moment’s notice all because Esme knows Edward’s secret.
Isabella Swan is an heiress to the Swan fortune. Her father, Charlie Swan, owns a string of high end hotels and resorts all over the world. Bella, as her friends call her, is also going through a nasty divorce from her husband, Riley. He cheated on Bella with the limo driver, the gardener, the pool boy and Bella’s assistant, Maggie. She’s bitter and angry, hating all men and abhorring her soon-to-be ex-husband.
Charlie is having a grand opening for his newest hotel in Seattle, Swan Towers. Bella is expected there, with a date for the lavish party. Rose, Bella’s best friend, suggested that she use a male escort, handing her Esme Platt’s card. Bella calls and asks for the best. Edward arrives, all suave and debonair, but detached and cold. However, the attraction between the two is palpable.
Will they succumb to their attraction? Will Edward pull Bella down the dark path in his need for control? Or will Bella be his light? Or is all of this a ploy for Buying Love?

Damn that woman! She is hateful. I'm sort of hoping Bella can get some info out of Jared.
Thanks!

I found it really interesting that Edward called her back on a throw-away phone. He really wanted to ease her mind about what "he" does as opposed to other escorts. I hope she can eventually come to believe him.
Thanks!

I'm dying to know who the "she" is that Edward kept referring to. A sister? His mother? And, damn, I do not like this Esme. But, I don't think you really want us to, right? I hope she doesn't find his phone.Or find out he pocketed more money than he said.
Thanks!

Hmm, I'm now guessing the person he wanted to go see is his mother. She must have been in the car when his father was killed. If so, does this mean Edward has been in Esme's clutches since he was 14? God, I hope not.
Thanks!

Loved Bella being tough with Esme. I love that she had the upper hand over Esme.
Thanks!
