WOW. I read the whole thing in one day. Couldn't put it down so to speak. This is an amazing story. I'm glad I stumbled across it. I hope you update soon. I really want to know what happens here. Wonderful job!!! You left me thoughtless & speachless on more than one occassion. Classic!
Date: 05 May 2011 9:47 PM Title: Chapter 12
uh you have to chapter 13s up. It says you have 14 chapters but it shows two chapter 13s. Just thought you should know that.
Date: 05 May 2011 9:24 PM Title: Chapter 12
Oooo! Such a good update. I have to wonder if that is the way things will be with them perhaps modified for an actual relationship.

Lovely, you can just tell she is going to fall for the asshole. lol.
Date: 05 May 2011 8:55 PM Title: Chapter 12
WOW! 5 years went by....ack! Great Chapter! Can't wait to see why all of a sudden Edward is there.
My guess is that he went through alot of Therapy and is now ready to face Bella and apologize...lol.

5 years? Are we going to get filled in on them, even briefly?
Where do they go from here? I want to hear about E's baby too. I know that plays a major part in all this. What did the paper say that E threw at Esme?
I have so many questions that have yet to be answered. I truly hope your updates fill in the blanks.
Excellant story!
Date: 05 May 2011 7:38 PM Title: Chapter 12
Oh? Hmm Edward has really changed if he is wearing black chucks.. More soon! I want to know what happens:)

You little cliffie hoor! Ugh!!!
Wonder what Edward wants!!! It has been soooo long!! 5 Fucking years!!
Cant wait for the next chapter!
Date: 05 May 2011 6:42 PM Title: Chapter 2
Poor Bella, stuck between a rock and a hard place and I wasn't talking about Edward's c**k. I would rather she didn't turn to mush when she is near him or even hears him but then I think how cool would I be? Chance being a fine thing. I like your Bella, she has been handed some rough breaks and how has to contend with Roughward. lol
Date: 05 May 2011 6:31 PM Title: Chapter 12
fucking awesome
Date: 05 May 2011 6:27 PM Title: Chapter 12
I just started reading this, and I'm addicted! I hope another chapter comes soon, because I need a fix bad!
Date: 05 May 2011 5:53 PM Title: Chapter 12
Censorship=Bad; Share=Good; Thumper's Rule of Life: if you can't something nice, then don't say anything at all.
Loved the update. I can totally relate to the whole "is this it". Unlike Bella though, I lay down until the feeling goes away. Xanax helps too. Sometimes, it's okay to say yes.
The cliffhanger was lovely and totally unexpected. But it brings up so many questions: I didn't read Edward as a Dominant. I saw him as a rather screwed up man who needed/wanted to humiliate somebody, using Bella as proxy. I didn't see Bella as a Submissive as so much somebody who is also screwed up believing she needed to be humiliated because of her soul crushing childhood.
I can't wait until your next update to see where these two truly damaged souls go from here. Compliment Spoiler Alert: truly original characters. You've given us people who have realistic baggage. It's not over the top and very riveting. Not an easy task nowadays.
Date: 05 May 2011 5:48 PM Title: Chapter 12
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you violated (not like you were the only one), we enjoyed (in large numbers), someone reported you, you got booted. Yada, yada, yada, right? But the important thing is you are still here!!!!! And this is a prettier home I must say, and like you said, with your great positive attitude, you got lots of free advertising. I am so glad you are back! I was really surprised to find that five years had passed. I expected Bella to feel drawn to try to do something to help him, rather than just try to move on. But that is why you are the writer and I am the reader, I like following your vision. But it sounds like "maybe" something has helped him, he is in jeans, he is nervous, he is at her door, calling her by name. Sounds like a good start, to something, I hope, because obviously Bella has not really moved on. Really looking forward to the next chapter here!!!!
Date: 05 May 2011 5:43 PM Title: Chapter 1
Wow, just wow. I have a feeling I will be saying that a lot with this story. He is a cool customer isn't he, even if he does have "The Jawline of the Gods". I like your Bella's inital reaction to him being "Hot on the outside, crazy on the inside." She is going to go all mushy over him isn't she? I really hope not, he is a bastard.
Date: 05 May 2011 5:06 PM Title: Chapter 12
Loved it...can't wait for more.
Date: 05 May 2011 4:32 PM Title: Chapter 12

You totally rock. This chapter seems like the eye of the storm...everything in Isabella's life is almost too calm... I'm keeping my seatbelt on. I love your style of writing, it always draws me into the chapter. Besos mami :)

Holy shit! OMFG!!! GREAT chapter...you have to update like yesterday!!! Please! *Eyes down*...please?
Date: 05 May 2011 3:56 PM Title: Chapter 12
Wow. I just love this story-written so sparingly yet with such depth of emotion pulsing off the pages. I'm so glad you've continued this story on TWCS. What a cliffie on this chapter. Please update quickly
Date: 05 May 2011 3:55 PM Title: Chapter 12
Excellent!
Date: 05 May 2011 3:52 PM Title: Chapter 12
Oh, oh, oh!!! You started us out at the very top of the roller coaster with this chapter... five years later!!! I was so shocked when I read that. Girl, there are no words to describe how amazing your writing is. I'm not even going to try to figure out where you are going with this story, because you will do whatever we least expect. That's why we are all so adicted to it. And then you leave us with Edward standing on her doorstep. Holy cow! Truly excellent work! You are the best.
Date: 05 May 2011 3:37 PM Title: Chapter 12
Hey jada! Soooo glad to see an update! We've been dieing here! Surprised you took us 5 years into the future...Bella seems successful...but obviously something is missing. And hmmm, it appears he just showed up her door annnnd, you leave us with a cliffy! You are evil! ;). I hope you update soon. I wanna know why he's there and what he has to say! Mwah!
Date: 05 May 2011 3:15 PM Title: Chapter 12
Wahaha.....There is no such thing as bad advertising. LMAO. Yeah, I was wondering what the hell happened to you. Luckily I found out you were on here. Glad you found a spot to settle that won't give you the boot for your naughty little story.
You kinda freaked me out for a moment. I thought you were close to ending it. I will say....two chapters with no sex? Five years? Oh and Edward without a suit? What is up with all of that? Is the old Edward still hiding in there or has he had a lobotomy and this is the new and slightly improved Edward? Maybe he is delivering her take out. LOL.
Thanks for sharing your wicked little story with us. Take care and peace. I seriously can't wait for the next update. T.
Date: 05 May 2011 3:12 PM Title: Chapter 12
OMFG!! Five YEARS... please... dying to know what happened.. It was a great morning seeing the alert in my inbox.. welcome back Jada!! .. *mwah*.. @MoniNP

Edward is in a different place financially now.
I wonder if Bella will return the money that Edward paid her from 5 years ago?
Just a thought.
Thank you for updating!
Date: 05 May 2011 2:59 PM Title: Chapter 12
I'm so excited to her where Edward has been for 5 years! :)
Date: 05 May 2011 2:57 PM Title: Chapter 12
I was unsure what to think at the start of this chapter, being five years down the road. But, I must say it was Brilliantly written! I love it. :)
Date: 05 May 2011 2:26 PM Title: Chapter 12
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FIVE YEARS!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I can't stand it. I'm just glad that we didn't have to wait that long ;D I guess this is enough time for everyone to be over the worst of the anger. You KNOW the "Eyes down" rocked my world. I know I'm a disgrace to womankind but damn that's hot! LOL!

Thank you so much for continuing here. This is one of the best fics out there now.

Your welcome! It´s a great story, but I want to scream for this cliffie. I can´t believe after all this time he shows up at her door. Her reaction priceless. Can´t wait to see if Foldward has changed or not. and will he tell Bella what happened to his daughter! Love the story, thanks for the update!

Holy Shit!! Its now been 5 years??? And now he pops in?? Redemption??? So looking forward to the next update, this one came right out of left field I didn't see this being 5 years later...
Date: 05 May 2011 1:32 PM Title: Chapter 12
Wow. Wasn't expecting this at ALL. Masterful chapter as usual though. It's a perfectly painted picture of what Bella's life is on the outside and the inside. She's going through the motions with something big missing from her life. And now Edward is on her porch, not seeming to be the man he was when she knew him five years ago. Crap. Is it too soon to beg for another update?
Date: 05 May 2011 1:28 PM Title: Chapter 12
This story is just WOW! I saw the post on twitter last week about your own site just for this little wonder and I have read it twice. I have eagerly waited this update and ahhhh I need more. It's wonderful. Wating patiently for more. Thank you!

I imagine the little blond girl from Poltergist saying He's here. Great chapter.

You're so funny in your author's note ...shame - shame on whoever reported you, but glad to hear there was a postiive side to it! Anyway, love, love LOVE the story! And the elusive Edward reappears ...which is good cuz he ruined her for all men! Dying to see what happens next! Edward is certainly dressed differently!
Date: 05 May 2011 1:12 PM Title: Chapter 12
Another awesome chapter! How many years have gone by? 3? Bella definitely made it. She seems like she's just existing though. Not living. I was a little dissappointed because there was not Edward/Bella interation this chapter. What has Edward been doing all this time? Maybe he had a little falll from grace. He is wearing jeans and chucks. So doesn't sound like him! I'm with Bella on this one. WTF!?!? I've been on pins and needles waiting for this update. Can't wait to read more of this story. I'm loving it! Keep up the good work and update soon!
Date: 05 May 2011 1:09 PM Title: Chapter 12
I love that he came looking for her instead of the other way around. I love this story and am waiting on the edge of my chair for the next update. Sorry about the FF thing but I am glad you are here.
Date: 05 May 2011 1:08 PM Title: Chapter 12
I took a short writing course recently. I thought it was money well spent. However, my eloquent reaction to both the beginning of this chapter, with the numbers/years, and the end, with Roughward simply turning up on her doorstep, was.. wait for it..
F**K. ME! (and then some screaming and duvet-punching)
There. You've rendered me speechless and wordless. Update soon and make it up to me? ;)
Date: 05 May 2011 1:07 PM Title: Chapter 12
I am glad they reported u because I like this website better than ff. Lol. Now I am totally confused about what happened here. Did Edward maybe get committed?
Maybe they threw him in jail for five hears? Not! Lol. Can't wait for more. I'm hooked on this story like Bella is hooked on Edward.

Eyes down loved it. Love this story so much. What does Edward want? It's been like five years. I hope Bella will have a little more backbone when it comes to him not just lay there and take it from him. I really hoped he changed for the better as well.
Date: 05 May 2011 12:29 PM Title: Chapter 12
OMG. Your writing is like finding water in the desert! I can't seem to get enought either. Please don't hold us too long for another taste! Thanks

i love this story please update soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Date: 05 May 2011 12:03 PM Title: Chapter 12
omg Jada, this is....so good, and so definitely worth the wait. I really enjoy your Bella, how hard she worked and how much she put into her school, only to get everything and realise something's missing.
And Edward?! why's he there? I find I dislike how her body reacts, so instinctual and yet I like it at the same time...is that strange?
Either way I love it and I can't wait for the next chapter :)
Date: 05 May 2011 12:00 PM Title: Chapter 12
Ok, it's absurd that someone "reported" you! Good chapter!

I was so shocked to read 5 YEARS LATER!
Oh, but so happy to see he came to see her!

Good God woman, what the hell was that? I am exhaugsted. (roon0)
Date: 05 May 2011 10:23 AM Title: Chapter 12
Wooo Hooo! whats been going on with Edward, has he had therapy, has he changed? His body language says he is not the same. His arrogance and anger is gone and his tone is differential and polite. Please! fill us in on the lost five years, I'm bursting with curiosity!
Bella is depressed and empty in spite of her career achievements. I mentioned on the Twilighted thread that she has probably bolted from the party and lost touch with the Cullens.
Going by Edward's different attitude, he is not expecting anymore abuse sex, I can't wait to read on!
Date: 05 May 2011 10:22 AM Title: Chapter 12
It's nice to see Bella graduated and successful at her job. Now if she can get her personal life in order things would be awesome for her.
I'm dying to know what Edward's been up to the last 5 years. It seems like he's been working on himself. I would say just from his appearance that he got the help he was needing for whatever made him a cold, heartless bastard.
Date: 05 May 2011 10:17 AM Title: Chapter 12
hell yeah i fucking love this
Date: 05 May 2011 10:10 AM Title: Chapter 12
( Before reading chapter 13)
YOU`RE BACK JADA! YOU`RE BACK. I lost all my hopes that I will get my so much needed fix of your story. I can`t wait to start reading.
(After reading chapter 13)
Aaaaaand.... it`s too short. As allways fix is. Aaaaand it`s perfect. As allways. I canh9;t even imagine what roules did you "violate", but I`ve red some very stupid or awfull (puke) or digugusted stories that are not "violating" whatever they insist. If writting about a strong, dedicated, hardworking women "violet" someone, they can stick in their medievan frame of mind. I will stay here , in 21st century, with all of my favourite writters, abovementioned included.
Date: 05 May 2011 10:03 AM Title: Chapter 12
Love the chapter, as always, =) love the progress, her personal growth and his surprise visit. Wonder what he´s been doing these years.
And to be honest, you should be glad you´re not on FF net, they are fail-fail-fail, not an alert for over a month, nothing, and they can´t seem to fix it. Much better here, on TWCS. =)
best wishes, Linda
Date: 05 May 2011 9:52 AM Title: Prologue
It is amazing that the years faded away so quickly for her. She seems to be without friends. I wonder what happened to Alice and Jasper. Given his outfit, I bet he went through some big changes. I can't wait to find out more!
Date: 05 May 2011 8:58 AM Title: Chapter 12
WOW!!! As in WOW!!! I really liked the time-jump. And it's a good thing too that you ended this chapter with their reunion!
AND obviously... I can't wait for the next chapter, though I hope it is not a "time-jump" anymore...
Thanks for the update! :)
Date: 05 May 2011 8:49 AM Title: Chapter 12
Yep, I am reviewing in both places, cause I can :-) Also, cause I am a greedy hoor, I read it in both places too.
Now that I have read it twice, I am wondering why he is back.. to apologise?? For more sex - please let it be more sex *giggles*. So many questions to be answered... I love a good mystery.
I'm gonna be up all night wondering now. As I commented over at your Blog, wonderful chapter, so worth the wait (and really it hasn't been that long, it just seems it when you miss Roughie).
Thank you as always for sharing Roughie with us - we love him, but you know that! Until next time Jada! AV oxo

I'm sorry you had your story pulled, but, hey, you're in good company;) I'm so glad you're here! It's a difficult story to read, and I find myself wanting to punch Edward often, but it's so well-written, and I can't wait to read more.
Date: 01 May 2011 2:06 AM Title: Chapter 11
i love this story and was devastated when ff took it down...i am so happy to find you here...PLEASE continue with this story as you have an incredibly excellent storyline/idea and i love where you seem to going with this...better than most stories (that's for sure) bless you for being brave enough to write a difficult/tough story but the best ones often are....do what you gotta do to tell THIS story!

OMG i was going to send you a personal email as to when we might see an update and I nearly had a coronary when I could not find this story under my favs anymore. I knew you had posted it here although I always read it on ff website. THE NERVE OF THOSE PEOPLE!! I am soooo glad it is here. PLEASE DONT EVER ABANDON THIS STORY. it is one of my very favorites and I dont know what I would do if it was never finished. PLEASE CONTINUE AND UPDATE SOON. I AM ON PINS AND NEEDLES WONDERING WHAT IS GONNA HAPPEN NEXT!!

Date: 27 Apr 2011 12:51 AM Title: Chapter 11
OMG! I just about had a heart attack! I decided to reread the last chapter of Fold Your Wings on FF and noticed it was missing. I assumed that some biotch complained and had your story pulled. I'm so sick of those narrow minded twats! Sorry, but it seems this is happening more and more. If someone doesn't like something, don't read it!!!!! End of story!!!! Any who... I'm glad your still on TWCS. Your story is amazing. I kind of believe that maybe Charlie was driving drunk and was somehow involved in the death of Edward's daughter and wife. I don't know if there was a wife. I'm just guessing. I'm guessing that Edward approached Bella and is using her as some kind of sick revenge. Just a hunch. I can't wait for the next update. I'm dying! Keep up the good work and update soon!

Date: 25 Apr 2011 12:24 AM Title: Chapter 11
Wow. I have nearly no idea what just happened, but... damn? That was just awful. Not in terms of writing or content, of course; you did made both wonderfully, but just in terms of raw emotion. It was just deeply painful. Thank you for sharing? I mean, thanks, but now I'm all sad and anxious for the next update!
Date: 24 Apr 2011 2:20 AM Title: Chapter 7
Damn. That last bit, with Charlie, gave me a very strong sense of... something. Ineffable. It was... haunting.
Date: 23 Apr 2011 9:47 PM Title: Chapter 11
This is my absolute most favorite story right now! You are an incredible writer - so talented. And this story is all kinds of complicated but so intriguing. I'm guessing Edward's daughter died but don't know how hating his parents fits in - unless they are indirectly responsible. So sad, you wrote in such a way that I could feel the sadness dripping from Edward even when he was being cruel to Bella. I think he actually loves Bella but is afraid to love again because of a tragic loss. This of course, is all conjecture. To say that I eagerly await your update is an understatement. I will be checking regularly - sure hope you are a prompt updater.
Again I just want to say how much I love this story.

HOLY HELL WHAT WAS THAT!!! LOL talk about ASSWARD!!!! (yummm)
Date: 21 Apr 2011 10:39 AM Title: Chapter 11
this story has me feeling so many things. revulsion, disappointment & confusion over Bella's blatant lack of dignity over what she's allowing Edward to do to her body.
But also sympathy & sadness that she's in that situation, that her life isn't perfect, far from it and she has to do that.
But then I'm happy that she sort of enjoys, that she comes to accept it.
Edward just freaked me out, I mean how could someone do that to another person so willingly? But he's got such horrors in his past and my heart aches for him. Especially in this last chapter.
I can't wait for the next one
Date: 21 Apr 2011 3:24 AM Title: Chapter 11
OMG, what a place to leave us. I just knew there was so much more to Edward's pain than him being a cocky asshole.
I just kept waiting for him to find Bella inside and start calling her out as a whore then and there. OMG that would have been a nightmare for her. I just wonder how this will play out since he saw her at the end there.
I'm totally loving this story and can't wait to see what you have in store for the rest of the chapters.

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god....................................update please!!!!!!!!

THank you..for finding somewhere to post such a great story. I never saw this a a bad story to women as I have read many worse than yours and that degarded women on a whole different level. I love the originality of this story and cannot wait for the next update as I have reviewed all the prior chapters already and will thus resume with the next chapter. Please keep hem coming as they make reading a pleasure.
