Victoria never loved Riley, she could have cared less about him. He was just an instrument for her to get what she wanted. In Eclipse, Edward tells Jacob that vampires are like stone, unchanging and frozen. This goes both mentally and physically. When changing to vampire, a human's personality and attitude is frozen as well. When something strong enough changes their personality/attitude, then it's very profound and substancial. Think of Edward before he met Bella. After 80-something years, he was pretty much the same as when he was first turned. He was pretty much bored with his life, and didn't find girls very interesting or attractive. But, as Edward says when he first met Bella, She hit him like a wrecking ball. Edward changed after 80 years of being exactly the same. That's why Esme and most of his family so readily accept human Bella as one of the family. They'd never seen Edward react to anybody the way he reacted with Bella. Edward will always love Bella the same as when he first fell in love with her. A vampire that's in love practically obsesses with the one they love. If somebody harms or kills their loved-one/mate, the vampire becomes vengeful and can thinkk of nothing but revenge towards whoever harmed or killed their mate. That's why Edward is always crazy and going overboard when it comes to Bella. Now try to picture Victoria's motives. She considered James her mate and loved him very much. I'm not going into their background, but they'd been together for a long time. Once James was killed, Victoria was consumed with vengence. But that's how all vampires react. Victoria would have never stopped trying to kill Bella because she was consumed with getting vengence for James. Victoria would have never been satisfied with Riley. She never loved him. Vampires just don't fall in love willey-nilly, but when it does, it's permanent. Now, did James return Victoria's love? Edward claims that James never truly loved Victoria and that James used her, like she has used Riley.
