Chapter Thirty four
His mother tried suggesting that since he is married now we are going to live together we should think about getting a house at our family street but he shut that down fast, saying we don’t have children yet and we are still young, we need to be free and live our lives hence we don’t need a huge house since the penthouse was already too huge for the two of us. I get the children part but I would have loved to still stay at our street then I would still be at home every day and my life would feel like it had never changed to begin with, if only. I also really don’t want to stay at his penthouse because of its history which holds a secret I am keeping from Cyrus.
We say goodbye like we are going to live in another state or another country but we will still be in the same city. I just think my mother and mother in law are drama queens although I get that they won’t be able to see me as much as we used to, I am going to miss them dearly, who knows what my future with Cyrus looks like.
My parents already told me that my things were taken to Cyrus’s penthouse in advance so we only have the night bags for luggage. Our ride is quite until we enter his apartment, I saw it the other night when I was wasted and in the morning I was stresses so I never gave myself the chance to observe it. To put it into a nutshell the place is a bachelor pad, designed with grey and white colors making me feel like I am in a mental clinic. It’s huge and quite from up here being so far away from the noise of the city, its huge and flooded with light this morning that leads me to the balcony that overlooks outside. Its peaceful outside as I watch the skies lost in thought when Cyrus approaches me
“Nice view huh?” he asks me standing next to me watching the sky
“Yes, it’s very peaceful” I answer back. He watches me then turns to leave
“Come, I want to show you to your room” he says already moving
He takes me up the stairs and into the hallway stopping right in the room where Cullen and frank put tony the night he got shot. He opens the door and lets me walk in first
“This will be your bedroom. Do you like it?” he asks but the only thing I see is Tony’s blood and the look on his face when they put him on this bed, there was just so much blood.
I want to protest and tell him I don’t want to stay in this room where tony bled out but I don’t want him to know I was here that night, what would I be here? I can’t tell him that
“My bedroom? What about you, where will you be sleeping?”
“I will be down the hall, the biggest room in the house” he tells me with a smirk as he inspects around the room like he hasn’t been here before
“But we are married; I thought we would share a bed together”
“I thought we already talked about this the other night, I can’t go to sleep with someone else sleeping next to me and breathing all over the place. You stay in your room and I stay in mine, if I need you I will send for you”
“Send for me? What am I your mistress?”
“Wouldn’t you just like that, little princess” he mocks me
“Fine. Do you have any other room besides this one?”
“There is but it’s a lot smaller, it’s meant to be a small office or a nursery so you’re going to have to accommodate and lower your standards a little my princess” he says and immediately turns to leave
“Why don’t you lower yours” I mutter under my breath
“what’s that?” he asks turning back to face me
“Nothing” I quickly answer, I really need to be polite and good to Cyrus so he can have mercy on me when I tell him the truth
“I thought so too” he says and leaves.
If Cyrus wants us to live in separate bedrooms this is good, in fact it’s so good. It means I still have time to prepare myself and probably find a way to escape before it’s too late. I hate that my future depends on the Cyrus’s mercy. He is proud and I know there is this thing between Cullen and him even though they don’t show it or say it out loud,, I doubt he will pity me since he sees me as such a bitch. I wonder why he married me.
I am so tired since I didn’t get to sleep yesterday anyway and I climb up on the bed and sleep on top of it without a care in the world. Someone shakes me awake and I wake up to find the room is dark and Cyrus is standing beside the bed looking down at me with his hands in his pocket.
“Hello again there sunshine”
“What time is it?”
“Don’t know, don’t care. A heads up, the house keeper comes in on Mondays Wednesday and Saturday but I gave her two weeks leave so you’re going to have to take care of the house in the time being. Second, you can’t leave this house, the phone in the house is for emergency and my cell only so don’t try to contact anyone at the time being. Third, my office and bedroom are restricted areas; I don’t want to find a weft of your scent close to these named areas.”
“How do you suppose I would eat if I can’t leave, can I at least order in?” I ask pouting
“The answer to that is a no. the building does not allow delivery inside if you wanted to order in you would have to go pick it up downstairs at the lobby and you cant leave this penthouse door anyway”
“Your locking me in here like a prisoner and starving me in the process, are you trying to kill me?”
“There is everything you need in the fridge and in the pantry. Your someone’s wife now, your mother should have told you cooking is one of your chore chores in this house because god knows you won’t be earning shit in this house.”
“Fine whatever. I have my phone anyway and I don’t need to use your stupid home phone anyway, ill figure myself out”
“I am going to need your phone” he says his sound changing an octave
“What? Why?” I shout surprised and alarmed, this doesn’t sound good at all. Does he know? Did Cullen tell him?
He sighs going straight for the light switch and turning it on and making me blind for a few minutes as my eyes adjust to the rooms light. He takes the bag I came with this morning and throws its content on the bed opening every zipper and pouring everything out. I immediately realize he is looking for the phone as it falls from the bag. I jump to reach it before he does but he is too quick for me and he has it in his arms before I do. I am no fool, I know I am no match for him but I throw myself at him to get it anyway.
