Chapter Forty one
The slap surprises us both and I retreat in fear. Why did I do that? Who knows how he will react and what he is going to do to me now. It’s quite except for the sound coming from the television, I start looking for an exit and away from this, I should probably run it’s my best option right now. As soon as my body makes a move Cyrus holds catches my hand in his and holds it, I can’t look at him; I can’t see the anger in his eyes
“Was that supposed to be foreplay? Because it sure as fuck worked but if this is some kind of plot to prove anything since I have been playing your rules so I can get into your pants, you won’t like the result” he says as his hold on me gets tighter and tighter with every word he says
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me, you didn’t actually think I tolerated you the past two days so we can play house did you? I didn’t want to have to force you so you can commit suicide again”
“You have got to be kidding me, what kind of man are you? What is wrong with you?”
“Why the fuck did you think you could raise your hand and slap me? You might be a manipulative bitch out there but in here your nothing, you’re not worth the shoes on my feet. Think about that the next time you think of being a spoiled brat again” he says letting my hand go and pushing me away making me fall back on the sofa
He starts leaving but I must have a death wish because I shout at him, how he dare talk to me like that after all I have been through
“How dare you talk to me like that? You lying cheating no good bastard. Who do you think you are? If it wasn’t for your fathers powers you wouldn’t be anything. You have no right to talk down on me, if you don’t want to marry me that bad take me back home. I don’t even want to live here in the first place” I shout at his him
“Would you look at that, so now you think you can talk back at me? Let me tell you a little something you don’t know, I was the youngest soldier to be sworn in the family not because I had a pretty little face or because my daddy thought I was his little princess so I told myself so too. I trained, worked and spilled blood for it. So don’t talk to me like we are equals, we will never be equals” he says back but he doesn’t turn around to face me and I just start crying all of a sudden
“Why did you lie to everyone that you had taken me on a honeymoon?” I ask with tears in my eyes and he finally turns around to face me
“What did you want me to tell them?” he asks
“You locked me up in here and left me to starve while you sent pictures and told our family we were on a honeymoon for two weeks. Then you left me alone and who knows where and with whom? You probably did go to a honeymoon just not with me. Why would you do something so cruel?”
“I had something to do and I didn’t want the family or my father to know and the honeymoon seemed like a perfect excuse for me. I wasn’t planning to go on a honeymoon but my mother kept pestering me about taking you on a honeymoon, she persuaded my dad to order me if I refuse. Apparently the princess can’t have a wedding without a honeymoon, so I saw an opportunity and I took it. It not about you and it’s never been about you, you think too much of yourself”
“You locked me in here with no connection to the outside world except for you and you were probably not here to begin with. There could have been an emergency, an accident or a fire, I could have died”
“Don’t be so dramatic, nothing happened besides I have cameras in the house, I knew you were okay”
“You have cameras in the house? You have been watching me? Oh my god! How sick are you?”
“It’s my house and these cameras have been here before you, I put them when I moved in for security reasons not so I could look at your skunky ass”
“I can’t take this anymore. I am going back home and I am telling my parents about how you have been treating me ever since we got married and telling them the truth about how you lied about the honeymoon. Then I am going to ask for a divorce”
Suddenly his mood changes and he laughs, it’s not a happy laugh and I don’t think anything I said was enough to make him happy. It’s a sarcastic laugh, like he is laughing at me and what I just said
“Divorce? You want a divorce?” he asks with a sarcastic smile and laughs again, this fuels me with anger and I burst out
“It doesn’t necessarily have to be a divorce, it can be an annulment of our marriage” I say defiantly as I stare him down and his laugh gets higher and harder, I don’t think I have ever seen him laugh so much in my life
“Okay little brat, what else have you got in store for me? Let it out; let it all out tell me all about your plans. Let me have it all at once”
I frown and stomp my feet, fisting my fist in anger that he won’t take me seriously and that only makes him laugh even harder, I am proving his point to be a brat with no power. I wish I could hit him again but I know better than to go there, so instead I decide to leave in anger
“I am going to get my bags and go now” I say and turn to leave hitting my feet on the floor with anger
