Chapter Twenty eight
“What the fuck is going on in here?” Cyrus asks looking at his brother
“Just welcoming my sister in law into the family” Cullen answers with a shrug like he has no care in the world
“By making her cry? What the hell did you do?”
“Nothing big brother”
“Then why the fuck is she crying? Cullen I swear to go if you’re trying to ruin my…..” but Cullen interrupts him before he stops
“I didn’t do shit, okay! Everyone knows Bella is a cry baby and suicidal. Are you going to blame me for it when she tries to do it again?” Cullen shouts angrily
“Why are you like this? What is wrong with you?” I ask him unable to help myself
“You. You’re my fucking problem, if you would have just…” Cullen says looking back at me
“That’s enough. Get the fuck out” Cyrus says to him pointing towards the door
“Make me” Cullen says as he staggers a step moving closer to his brother by door looking for a fight. I don’t want them to fight; I don’t want to be a part of this.
“He didn’t do anything; I am just emotional about the wedding and everything. Cullen just go, please” tell him slowly
Cullen sighs muttering whatever as he heads out the door and away from his brothers path but Cyrus holds his shoulder as he passes by him and says looking straight at me as he does
“There is a lot holding on this wedding, we put a lot into it and it has to be perfect. I need a happy bride in love who can’t believe she got to be with the man to love. If there is a problem with that fact because of you, I won’t be the only one you answer to or dad, it will be the famiglia. So why don’t you go and sober yourself up, make sure everything is airtight as you promised” he is saying the words to Cullen but he wants me to get the massage and do as he asked his younger brother, that’s why his focus was at me the whole time
“Yes sir” Cullen says with a salute not turning to either of us and leaves us in the room. Just as I am about to speak my mother comes in complaining about the state Cullen is in at his brother’s wedding when she sees my face and immediately panics. She goes to mother mode getting me to wash my face with cold water, getting the hair and makeup artist and making sure I am alright.
She doesn’t leave my side until my husband Cyrus and are called to make an appearance at our wedding reception. By the time we are all smiles and happy faces for show but under the makeup and skin is absolute fear and stress.
We make our appearance and people start heading over to congratulate us on our wedding, wishing us big families and lots of happiness in the process. A blonde handsome man approaches us with who I assume to be his girlfriend. The family has invited famous and important people to the wedding too, so it’s not unusual to see unfamiliar faces at these gatherings. The man is holding the woman’s waist and smirking at us as they approach. I feel Cyrus stiffen beside me and straighten up more.
He goes straight towards me ignoring Cyrus like he isn’t just standing there beside me; he takes my hand kissing its back saying,
“The most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on. My mother would hit me in the head if she were alive today to hear me say that, but the statement still remains to be true” I immediately blush, feeling embarrassed he said that in front of his girlfriend.
“Your too kind. Thank you” I say softly
“No one has ever accused me of being kind before, but coming from you, I’ll take it. I just couldn’t help myself, I had to come see you in your wedding dress and I thought that would help me get over you but you just look so beautiful” he answers with a smile that I suspect to be genuine
“Lenkov…” Cyrus says as he places his hand on my back possessively
“Cinnati!” he answers back giving him a look and taking his attention back to me.
Its then I understand that this is Alex Lenkov’s of the Bratva. The man I was supposed to marry before Cyrus claims to get me out of that engagement. And it seems like there is no love lost between him and Cyrus, I wonder what peace between them would be like when they are left in charge.
“I can’t believe I let this loser have you. I should be the man standing next to you; I would have given you the world and much more. Does he love you as much as I would have?” he asks looking seriously interested in my answer
“Thank you for the complement but I don’t think you should be saying this in front of your girlfriend. It’s not appropriate” I answer softly
“oh the innocence! I was hoping I would be the one to corrupt you. None the less, Adrianna here is not my girlfriend. I just brought her along because I needed to have a plus one to save face, so my dad thought” he says suddenly grabbing the woman’s hair pulling hard and placing her neck at an odd angle, it looks like it hurts and I inwardly cringe but she doesn’t say anything.
“There is just something about you I can’t figure out, you’re just so….I can’t explain how you make me feel. I wish I could to…..” then I feel Cyrus about to move and realize that Alex is raising his hand to touch my face. I freeze.
