Dangerous Love (Volturi Kings Love Story)

Vampire Rollercoaster

Madeline's Pov

I finally finished my call with Bella. I'm so relieved that everything is okay. I've

been pacing my bedroom for two hours since Bella let me know she arrived in

Italy. I've been having a hard time wrapping my mind around the existence of

vampires. Who would've thought the myths were real.

I'm still confused about why Bella would be dating a vampire. She was human.

His diet consisted of her kind as food. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

I mumble "Such a dumbass " under my breath. Bella wasn't the only dumbass.

Edward was as well. However, the brief summary of vampires I had received

led me to believe that they hadn't thought everything through. Their

relationship was not only dangerous but was also illegal. Bella, for the most part, always seemed to be a magnet for danger. Especially if we count Edward's departure.

"Madeline!" Charlie yells.

I couldn't help the sigh that escaped my mouth. The idea of confronting

Charlie about Bella's little trip to Italy wasn't exactly appealing.

"Coming!" I call down. I quickly make my way downstairs, leaving the comforts

of my room. I assume Charlie is waiting in the kitchen and head there first.

My assumptions were proven correct when I was greeted by Charlie sitting at

the kitchen table.

"So, where is Bella?" Charlie asks getting right to the point.

"So straight to it then, huh?" I reply sarcastically.

"Madi," Charlie rubs his face as he lets out a sigh.

Charlie looks beyond exhausted. The stress he's been dealing with has taken

a toll on him. It looked like he had aged 10 more years from this conversation

alone. There was no denying it. Charlie had been through hell for the last couple of months dealing with Bella. Hearing news of her disappearance was likely the cherry on top of it all.

"In Italy?" I cave while scratching the back of my head.

I felt guilty about everything Charlie was going through. I wasn't one to quickly

spill information on Bella. However, considering everything that had happened

to Charlie, I felt I couldn't let the piece of information slide.

"She's not in Colorado?" Charlie asked sporting a confused expression.

I furrowed my brows at his response. Why did he think Bella was in Colorado?

"I thought Jacob told you?" I said in a confused tone.

"Jacob told me she was in Colorado. Not in Italy," His voice rose slightly

towards the end.

That sleazy dog told me he snitched to Charlie.

I pursed my lips a sighed. " He lied to you. Bella's in Italy."

"When did Jacob become a liar?" Charlie mumbled to himself.

Since always, I thought to myself bitterly.
