Tanya's POV

I was relaxing in my cottage, waiting for Edward to come back from Forks with his friends Brad, Daniel, Jerry, and Victor. He asked me to stay here in Newton Mearns, Scotland to look after his house.

The reason why he was going to America was to convince his ex-fiancée Bella Swan to return with him.

"Bella is my soul mate. I need her to be here with me. We have been apart for nearly three months. I cannot bear to go without her presence any longer," he told me yesterday.

I did not see the point in him doing this. After Bella had caught us fucking each other at the end of June, she put a stop to their engagement. Not even an hour later, he found her and his father Carlisle in bed together...naked.

What made Edward think that Bella wanted him back? And why would he still want her after she had fucked Carlisle? I did not understand it. If I had a boyfriend who slept with my mother, I would never want his ass again.

Furthermore, I did not want Edward to be reunited with her. When he left his home after finding Bella with Carlisle, he invited me to join him. We stayed in Montana until the mid-July, then traveled to Winnipeg and remained there until early August.

The both of us spent a lot of time with each other during next two months. He would take me out for dates, and we would have mind-blowing sex every day. We would also hunt together.

It was in Montana that we met his friends Brad, Daniel, Jerry and Victor. Edward had obviously known through his telepathic abilities that he could trust them. He acquainted himself with them before he offered Daniel and Victor a job.

I nearly blew my top when I found out that Edward was sending anonymous love letters and roses to Bella! And if the situation was not already stupid enough, he sent Victor to Michigan so that he could mail them from there! It was not hard for Victor to do this because he had his own private plane. He said that it would not take long for Bella to realize that they were from him.

"Edward, you are entirely too obsessed with her! Why can't you just leave her alone? It was obvious that she did not want to have anything to do with you! She probably doesn't want to now, either," I yelled at him once.

"How do you know?" he argued. "Just because she had sex with Carlisle, it doesn't mean that she wanted to be with him! I know that you are upset with me about this, and I'm sorry about that. However, you do not understand. Bella needs me. She needs her mate."

Laughing rudely, I stated, "And you need to get your brain examined."

With a huff, Edward stormed out of the room.

Truthfully, I was jealous that he wouldn't give Bella up. I wanted him to be with me instead. I knew that I could never compare to Bella in his eyes, though. He loved her more than he desired for us to be together. I knew that we were not soul mates, but I wished that we were. Just so that he could move on.

I also did not understand why he thought that Bella was his mate. If she really was, then why did he choose to cheat on her with me? He would never have done that if she was.

Edward finally told Victor to stop mailing the letters to Bella in August. When he (Victor) had returned from Michigan, Edward announced that he had planned for us to come here to Newton Mearns.

"Um...why?" I had inquired in bewilderment.

"To keep Bella away from Carlisle. I know for a fact that she and my father are together. When I hunt, I often head to Forks to see what is going on. If I bring her to Scotland with me, I can help her to see that I am the one that she truly loves. She has been brainwashed by Carlisle for far too long. She will lose her obsession with him quickly after I intervene."

I facepalmed in exasperation, but did not say a word. I did not feel like having another argument with him. But I was beyond tired of his ridiculous schemes and plans.

We packed our things that night and flew here to Scotland the next morning. Edward found a secluded place over a cliff for us to stay. However, we needed to construct a house since there wasn't one up there.

So, we all built and furnished the mansion that was standing yards away from my cottage, which I made myself not long afterwards. It only took three days to do this because Edward and I used our vampire speed to make the process faster.

My place was completed the very next evening. I had alternated working on Edward's mansion and my cottage. We had stayed in a hotel until we had all of our furniture and other necessities.

Over the next several weeks, Edward prepared for Bella's arrival. He asked me to buy all sort of clothes for her. I did against my better judgment. The less we fought with each other, the better.

I was still having sex with him during that time. However, I also had a good number of flings with Brad, Daniel, Jerry, and Victor. I did not mind it, feeling pleased that I was attractive to them. Then again, I have attracted many more men throughout the years of my existence. So many more.

Now it was September the fourth. Edward had left with his friends to get Bella the other day. He said before he left that they would be here tomorrow if he was lucky.

And so, I waited for his return.

(The next morning-9:10am)

I was tidying up the living room when I heard the familiar sound Edward's rental van approaching. The engine was cut off a minute later, and the doors opened and shut. Footsteps climbed up the zigzag trail that led to cliff. Edward spoke as the footsteps paused.

"Hold her for me while I climb up there," he told one of his friends. I knew that he meant Bella.

"You are lucky to have a boyfriend who is an expert mountaineer. He doesn't even need picks," Jerry said next as Edward ghosted over the cliff to retrieve the rope for them.

"He's not my damn boyfriend!" Bella yelled at him.

He grunted.

Uh oh! She did not sound happy! This was not a surprise, though. I had warned Edward that she would not want him back. He should have listened to me.

The aforementioned person jumped down to the trail. "We are going up first. Hold on tight and don't let go," he admonished. He was obviously talking to Bella again.

One by one, all of them mounted the cliff. Then they walked to the mansion.

When they were inside, I heard Edward say to his friends. "You may leave us now. I am just going to show Bella our room and have a word with her. There is something important that I have to speak to her about. Victor, have breakfast ready within the next hour, please. Come on, baby. Let's go," he added to Bella.

They went upstairs to his bedroom.

"Welcome to your new home!" Edward declared to her.

"This is NOT my home! I can't believe that you kidnapped me-"

I scowled in incredulity. What?! I thought to myself. Edward had kidnapped her?! I did not understand. Why would he go to such lengths if he knew that she did not want to come here with him? Was his obsession for her that bad?

"-and flew me all the way around the world to bring me to this shithole! I don't want to be here, and I am NOT sleeping in this room with you! I want my own! There are plenty here, let me have one!" she hollered at him.

"Relax, Bella," Edward ordered gently. "I'll show you around. Your new clothes are in here. Don't worry, I made Tanya pick out the kind of outfits that you like..."

"Tanya?! She's here?!" she interrupted.

"Yes, she brings animal blood to me-"

Well, that was true. I did.

"-She has a small cottage in another clearing a few feet away from here. As I was saying, she bought the type of clothes that you like. T-shirts and jeans. There are also nightgowns. She even purchased your underwear and some lingerie."

"Lingerie?! What for?!" Bella sounded nauseated.

Edward was quiet for a second. "For you to please me with," he responded in a "duh" voice.

"Bullshit. I won't wear them. There's no way in hell I will."

He chuckled heartily. "Yes, you will, when you are not mad at me. Now. There are a few things that I have to tell you. First, do not leave this house by yourself. You will only get lost, and I don't want an animal to attack you. If you want to go anywhere, you will have to let me know.

"Second, if I need or want you for anything, I would appreciate it if you came to me immediately. I don't want to have to wait for you. We will have breakfast at 10:30am, lunch at 2:00pm, and dinner at 6:30pm. You can have dessert any time after that. Try not to be late for any of your meals. I don't want you to starve. Do you understand?"

The more I listened, the more I noticed how controlling and selfish Edward was being. Even worse, he was taking no consideration of how Bella was feeling. I shook my head in disbelief. He would never talk to Bella like that if he was her mate. What right did he have to tell her what to do?

"...Tanya may visit one or two days out of the week. I will let you know in case you need her help with anything," Edward continued.

"I'm not going to ask her for shit," Bella muttered.

I did not blame her for feeling that way about me. She had a good reason to.

"Enough, Bella," he scolded. "If you get hurt, just tell Brad. He's a doctor, and I am sure that he will give you want you need."

Bella did not respond or comment.

Groaning tiredly, Edward pleaded, "Baby, try to be a little more cooperative. You are staying here with me for at least three to five months. We will have to get along somehow."

She snorted. "I will get along with you if you let me have my own room and leave me alone."

"That is not what you want. I know that you are happy that we are sharing a room together, even if you are too stubborn and upset to admit it. You and I are going to have some fun times in here."

Oh yeah. He really cared about how she was feeling all right, I thought sarcastically.

Bella was quiet for a minute, likely because she could not believe what was coming out of his mouth either. Then she shouted, "Edward, have you lost your mind?! I don't understand you anymore! I don't want to have sex with you, and I don't understand how you can think that I can take pleasure in you raping me!"

My jaw dropped as I froze. Edward had raped her?! No. She had to be lying. He would never do that. He would never hurt a woman in that way...!

As if to deny me, Edward shot back, "I only raped you once! But that was because you provoked me! You asked for it!"

WHAT?!

Oh God, please tell me that I was not hearing this! None of this could be true. None of this should be true! And if it was true, then how could Edward?! How could he do that to her...?!

It came as no surprise that his statement enraged Bella more. "Once, my ass! You raped me three times-"

Three times?!

"-which includes the time when I said that you raped me, and you snapped. Furthermore, no one asks to be raped! I hate you for what you did to me! You are nothing but a MONSTER!"

Suddenly, there was a whimper, and I heard Edward growl, "Repeat that! Go on...repeat that! I will be a monster!"

NO! Edward, stop hurting her! I begged him via my thoughts when I realized what was going on. If he did, I had no idea of how I could stomach it.

"I won't. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I won't do it. I'm sorry," Bella cried.

"You better be. I have had enough of you arguing with me. It is tedious and irritating. As I had said to you earlier, cut the bullshit! Now...go take a shower and come downstairs for breakfast. And no procrastinating. I do not want to dress you myself and by force. Our bathroom is through that door."

There were footsteps and an opening and closing of drawers. After that, I heard the shower being turned on. Minutes later, there was a sob.

I paced around my cottage in distress. I was unable to believe that Edward had raped Bella! Why did he do that to her?

I knew that he was probably still upset about her having sex with Carlisle, but still. That was no excuse at all. Bella did not deserve that. She did not deserve to go through that kind of pain and humiliation. Nobody did.

She may have made a mistake, but on the whole, I knew that she had a kind heart. If she did sleep with Carlisle, I doubt that it was for revenge. However, I would not blame her if she did do it for that reason. Edward would have had it coming to him for cheating on her.

Edward was not her soul mate. He did not love her either. I did not understand how he could if he was able to force himself on her and "take pleasure" in it. He had completely lost his damn mind!

Lowering myself onto my armchair, I buried my face in my hands. Poor Bella. I felt so sorry for her. So, so sorry. It was no wonder that she was furious with Edward. And I knew without a doubt that she must be hurting terribly...more than terribly.

Oh Edward, how could you? How could you do that to her?

I started to cry. If only I had known that he was going to rape her. I would have tried harder to convince him to let Bella go. I would have demanded that he stayed here. I would have prevented it from happening.

What Edward did to Bella was my fault, straight and simple. If I hadn't agreed to fuck him that night...if I had told him no...if I had refused him...none of this would have happened.

Guilt and shame flowed through me, causing my sobs to grow stormier. What have I done? What have I done? This was horrible! It could not get any worse than this!

But I was wrong. It could...and it did.

Ten minutes later, Bella was finished taking her shower. She went downstairs as Edward had told her to do. It was not long before I heard the clicking of silverware on plates.

Edward attempted to have a conversation with her as they ate their meal. However, Bella would not speak to him except to tell him, "No. I don't have anything to say to you, other than this."

It was not until they were done with their breakfast when trouble started. Brad, Daniel, and Jerry finally began to talk. They had been quiet while they were eating their food.

"So, boss. Will you let us have another go with her?" Jerry questioned in a whisper.

"Yeah, you promised that you would, Mr. Cullen," Brad pointed out.

I turned in the direction of the mansion in bewilderment and dawning terror. "Her"? They didn't mean Bella, did they?

"Certainly. I will speak to her about it and have her ready within five or ten minutes," Edward murmured.

Oh, no. He could not be serious!

"Really, Mr. Cullen?" Daniel asked in excitement.

"Yes. And I will allow you to have her first. Then I will let Victor go next. After him, Brad and Jerry will have their turns."

"That sounds great, boss!"

My God. Edward really was serious. I did not understand it! How could he even consider passing Bella around to his friends as if she were just some...some thing? As if she were nothing but a doll? Was he honestly this sadistic?

And I noticed that Jerry said "another go." Had he allowed them to...to rape Bella before? I already knew that it was rape. There was no other explanation for her unhappiness.

I could not bear to imagine them doing that to her. It was dreadful enough that Edward had raped her, but for him to permit his friends do that to her as well...

Let's just say that I was amazed that she had not broken or gone insane. If I was her, I knew that I would have. I felt sick to my stomach. This realization made me wish that I had never had sex with them either!

I heard Edward's voice again. "Step into the parlor with me for a bit."

I knew that he was talking the Bella because I knew what her footsteps sounded like; she followed him there.

After that, he said, "Bella, I need you to do me a favor, please." He paused for a second, then went on. "Daniel and my friends need your help with something, and I would be thankful if you can give them what they need."

Bella was clearly horrified because she stammered, "N-No! Edward, p-please no!"

Edward turned a blind eye to her agitation. "Bella, please do this for me. I am going to be in the same room to make sure that they don't hurt you."

Did he mean any more than they already would be?! And any more than they already have?!

"NO!" Bella repeated.

Edward sighed and ghosted upstairs to his room. Next, a drawer was opened and closed.

"Put this on," he ordered. He must have been giving her lingerie to wear.

"No," she muttered.

He growled in irritation, fed up that she was not listening to him.

There was rustling, and Bella complained, "Edward, please! I don't want to do this!"

For a moment, he was silent. "Are you scared of them?" he finally queried.

Well, she would be out of her mind if she wasn't!

"If you are, don't be. I know that they hurt you before, but they will never do that again. I understand that you don't want me to share you, and that you only want me, but they need you to take care of their needs."

I couldn't take this shit! Was he kidding?!

"EDWARD, stop this! She said that she doesn't want to have sex with them, so just leave her alone!" I bellowed.

"Stay out of this, bitch," he sneered in a voice that was too low for Bella to have heard him.

What did he just say to me?!

"They need me?! Haven't they heard of jerking off?!" Bella demanded, interrupting my thoughts.

Edward laughed loudly. "Of course they have! But masturbation is not as good as the real thing. Now, let's go. Daniel needs you first."

"No! Hell no! I'm not helping your friends with shit! Why don't they just ask Tanya to fuck them?!"

I would rather that they did that than rape her, even if would nauseate me to have sex with them.

"Because you are warmer than she is," he responded. "Let's go, please."

"NO!"

He snarled and stormed out of his bedroom.

"Edward, let go! You're hurting me!" she complained.

"I'm sorry. I said that he won't hurt you, and you have to believe that." A door opened. "Oh good, you have your condom on," he remarked, speaking to Daniel. "Go on, Bella. I'll just be sitting in the corner. Just do whatever he tells you, and everything will be all right. Go on," he added to Bella.

I gasped. "Edward, NO! Don't let him do that to her!" I pleaded.

But he ignored me.

I made to get out of my chair-seriously, this needed to be stopped!-when Bella cried out in pain. I smelled her tears.

"Not so rough. She's crying. You're hurting her," Edward scolded.

Knowing instantly what was happening, I was immobilized by shock and dismay once again. I could only stand there and listen as Daniel raped Bella. His bed squeaked with every thrust that he made.

Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! those squeaks seemed to yell at me.

My eyes brimmed with tears. No. I was not a traitor. I couldn't be one. I had tried to make Edward stop Daniel from harming Bella.

Your fault. Your fault. Your fault, the squeaks declared next.

I covered my ears, trying to block out the noise and the words. I did not want to hear them anymore. But it did not work. I could still hear the creaking, and Daniel's grunts of pleasure. They persisting in tormenting me, filling me with shame.

Because they were right. This was my fault...entirely my fault.

Please, God. Please let him stop, I prayed over and over again as I wept bitterly.

Finally, after about twenty minutes, Daniel came. I hoped that Edward would leave Bella alone now. That he would change his mind and decide not to let the others rape her. That he would realize that what he was doing was causing her pain.

As if to contradict me, Edward said to her in an offhandly, "Well, come on then. Victor is expecting you."

No, no, no, no, no! I cried to myself as I beat my fists against my head. This was so wrong, so very wrong. Why Bella? Why her? What did she do to deserve this abominable, inhumane treatment? I couldn't take this anymore! I was going to go crazy if Edward kept this up!

There had to be something that I could do. Something to make this stop.

I attempted to come up with a plan to help Bella. However, Edward must have read my mind because he growled.

"You meddlesome bitch! I told you to stay out of this! If you don't, I will personally put you on the receiving end of some abominable, inhumane treatment! Would you like me to do it?" he questioned menacingly.

I kept silent, trembling with fear. I knew that he could do it if he was cruel enough to rape Bella and have her raped. And that was something that I did NOT want him to.

"That's what I thought," Edward hissed in a satisfied voice when I came to this conclusion.

So there was nothing that I could do. Nothing but listen as Victor, Brad, and Jerry forced themselves on Bella over the next hour.

During the whole time, I sobbed into my arms. I hated myself for not helping her. For allowing Edward to scare me out of doing so and have the upper hand.

Traitor! Traitor! Your fault! Your fault! the beds in his friends' rooms whispered to me as they creaked.

Just when I believed that I was about to lose it, everything finally grew quiet. Then I heard Edward walking out of Jerry's room with Bella, telling her that she could take a shower.

But as the water started to run a moment afterwards, I knew that a shower would not help her. I knew this because Rosalie had experienced the same thing after having been raped by her monster of an ex-fiance, Royce King II, and his sick friends.

She would never be quite able to wash away the feeling of Edward's friends' bodies on hers. Not for a very long time.
