My prince

I go through the thousand messages on my phone as Cyrus pours his heart out and I know he hurt me but it makes me cry nonetheless. And it's funny that I have been vying for doing everything I can so Cyrus could love me and he loved me all along, now that he is open about his feelings I am unsure whether I want to be with him anymore.
He sends a message to the phone every day, sometimes multiple. I don't know if he knows I am receiving the calls or not but he keeps sending them. It's stupid that I get used to them and look forward to what he will write next. He tells me about his day and asks how I am doing, I don't answer but do in my head.
One night I had a horrible nightmare. I was on a boat with Cullen and Cyrus, Cyrus came to talk to me and I pushed him, he fell in the water and a shark just came out of nowhere and just took him underwater. I woke up gasping for air like I was drowning. That night I texted Cyrus,
[You up?]
And he answers instantly
[Did you have a nightmare?]
[I dreamt you got swept away from me by an evil shark]
[No one can take me away from you. It's you and me till forever Princess]
[Are you okay?]
[After hearing from you, I am getting there]
[Goodnight Cyrus]
[Goodnight princess]
And from there on the next day he texts and I answer back. We just text for weeks until he tells me he is coming back home and I am both nervous and super excited to see him too. I haven't seen him for months I forget we are married sometimes. The day he comes home I agree when my mother asks me to help her with her gardening. She gets super excited to spend time with me but I am just doing it, hoping to get a glimpse of Cyrus when he gets back. Stupid, I know.
The weather fucks up my plan when it pours and we have to cut it short. By the time I get out of the shower and dress up, I find a message in my phone from Cyrus telling me he is already back. I go downstairs and hope to catch a glimpse but nothing. I can't very we just go to their house and pretend everything is normal now, can I? I don't even know what I am going to say or do when I see him.
Later in the evening after dinner, he texts me that he wants to meet but it should be our secret. He sends me an address of an apartment downtown, that he says is discreet. I tell my mom I am going to the store to get something and when she insists to send someone because it's dark and shit, I sneak out instead. This reminds me of how sneaking out brought my downfall but I still go and see him.
I get to the door and knock. I hear footsteps coming to the door and then Cyrus is standing before me. Just like how I imagined him in my dreams, more handsome, older and much sexier. I was lying to myself when I thought I hated him or when I saw him next he wouldn't affect me. When he smiles I can't help blushing and smiling back even wider. He hugs me with emotion and I drown in his embrace.
“I love you, Bella. I love you so much.“
“I love you too.“
And then he is kissing me and I am kissing him back and it's not violent or mean, and I love it. I am in pure bliss.
So, it's been months since Cyrus and I started sneaking around. For a married couple, it's crazy, right? Wrong. Apparently, both our parents are so pissed at him for what he was doing behind their backs and lying to them that he was warned to stay away from me. He is not allowed close to me for fear he will upset me, I laughed so hard when he told me that I still smile when I think about it. The only reason he was allowed back so early before the six months he was supposed to be away was because he agreed to leave me alone. Knowing we were already in communication then is…..I haven't decided yet. He isn't even allowed at his house unless asked to because they think we will run into each other. I wonder what their plan is and what they think they are doing, or who they think they are.
I haven't been myself lately so my mom insisted on taking me to see the doctor, and surprise, surprise. I am pregnant. I don't know how I am supposed to feel but I am super happy. After leaving the doctor's office I go back to the waiting room and hug my mother
“You are going to be a grandmother,” I tell her as I pull a new grandma along with me from the door.
“what do you mean?“ she asks as she pulls me to a stop.
“I am pregnant.“ I say proudly and she does not disappoint as she hugs me back and kisses me. But then she tenses.
“wait, who is the father?/I know we don't talk about this but you're still married my dear. I don't want to think what this will…”
“relax Mother, this is my husband's child. Cyrus and I are going to have a baby. I can't help it, let me call him”
“you have been seeing Cyrus? Your father is going to be so mad when he finds out.“
When my father found out he went looking for Cyrus and left me begging him to come back and not kill the Don's heir. He came back with bloody knuckles and sent me running to look for Cyrus myself, only to find him with a broken nose, split lip and a purple bloodshot eye. But he was smiling, he said and I quote.
“your father gave me the best news of my life while he was hitting the shit out of me. I was so happy I just let him get his hunger out. I know I deserve it and it was a long time coming. On a good note, he wants his grandchild to be born in a home so I am on probation with you.“
“oh really?“ I asked with a huge smile
“would you marry me again? I promise to be a good husband and a great dad to our child.“ he asks as he kneels on both legs, wincing the whole time. I try to stop him but he pushes me away
“yes, my prince.“
