Chapter Seventy two
The whole room goes silent except for Cullen’s laughter that no one finds funny, especially me. I told him that in confidence, how could he? My heart beats a mile a minute, I don’t know where or who to look at. I trusted Cullen and told him that in confidence and he used it against his brother at their family’s dinner table, in front of his parents. Was Cullen playing me the whole time he told me we were good so he could use me? I wish I could strangle him right now.
“What? It’s true, Bella told me herself. I mean I know you can be a gentleman sometimes Cyrus but six months? No wonder you’re so pissed all the time acting like a pussy. Turns out it’s because you aren’t getting any at home.” he continues laughing like a maniac.
I wish the ground would swallow me whole right now and just take me. I can’t believe this is happening to me. Cyrus looks straight at me, face full of anger as he gnaws his teeth taking his hand from me and balling it into a fist. Tears start spilling out from my eyes and I feel like I can’t breathe. I can’t look at anyone in this room right now
“Is it true? Did you tell my little brother about our sex life? About what happens in our house, our bedroom?” Cyrus asks me angrily and I nearly shake in my chair not able to look at him
“No. of course not, I just…. I….” I don’t know what to say? What do you say, how do you explain how Cullen knows such intimate things between us.
“Is this true son? My father-in-law asks Cyrus and I don’t know why but I feel like he is mocking him a bit
“It’s none of your business. Get up we are leaving.” he answers his father as he stands up knocking his drink and throwing his napkin on his meal, then turns to me. I really don’t want to leave with Cyrus right now, he is angry and I don’t know what he is going to do to me when we are alone. I am scared of him when he is like this.
“Oh. Leaving so soon? I just started...” Cullen continues talking with a laugh holding his drink up to us. What a mess.
“I said get up!” Cyrus shouts aloud and I immediately scramble to my feet tears running down my cheeks in waterfalls.
“Can’t take the truth eeh… do you know that I slept with Bella?” Cullen asks his brother with a sly smile. Cyrus was about to take my hand and pull me from their family’s dining room but he immediately lets me go and faces his brother.
“What?” Cyrus asks confused
“Took her virtue too on the night of her birthday.” he continues nonchalantly while he takes another sip of his drink, enjoying the look on his brother’s face.
“What the hell are you talking about?” Cyrus asks confused
In actual sense I must look way worse because I am suddenly warm and hot and weak, I find myself back on the seat since my legs have lost the energy to continue supporting me. I have thought of all the scenarios that the truth could have come out to bite me in the ass, but this? I never imagined this would happen in my worst dreams. Cullen is supposed to be my best friend, my family and my protector, why would he humiliate me like this in front of his family, my in laws and my husband knowing how scared I was if it ever came out.
How could he do this to me? I lift my head to look at him and I don’t even recognize him anymore. Was Cullen really the person I trusted the most for eighteen years which is practically my whole life? How did we get here?
“See Bella was so drunk on her birthday night that she thought I was the one who slept with her. She has been thinking that same thing the whole time she agreed to marry you and live with you in your house”
“What? I don’t understand” Cyrus asks again and this time he sounds different.
This is not the reaction I expected from him, I expected him to get madder and angrier but he seems to just be frozen for a second like he is trying to solve a puzzle piece and I soon find out why.
“Have you ever wondered why she doesn’t want to sleep with you? Who are we kidding, you have. It’s been six months and she is not ready yet? I mean Come on big brother, just how stupid are you, it’s because she knew she wasn’t a virgin and she knew if she slept with you, you would find out. So she has been buying her time” Cullen answers with that ridiculous smile, he looks like he is having the time of his life and there is a certain anger and hate for him that starts growing inside me
“Bella. Is this true?” Cyrus asks me slowly as he holds my chin and makes me look up at him.
“No. I …yes… Cyrus I am so sorry I was going to tell you…” but he starts laughing high and sadly like I am the most stupid person in the world and smiles at me
“You stupid, stupid, foolish girl. Just how stupid are you really?” Cyrus asks as I feel his anger making its come back
“That’s enough Cyrus. Cullen what’s going on?” their mother interrupts clearly confused with what’s going on.
“What’s going on mother is that Cyrus has been living a lie. He always prides himself on being the smartest in the room and you get played by little Bella. The girl you despise, the woman you thought was head over heels over you.”
“Cyrus what is going on here, I thought you said you were the one who was with Bella on her birthday? What is Cullen saying?” his father interjects. His father knows about my birthday night? He told him? How many people know about this.
“Well apparently my stupid wife seems to be under the belief that she slept with Cullen that night. It’s ridiculous how did you even get to that conclusion, you called my name the whole night. Screamed it.” Cyrus says then looks back at me
“I was drunk and Cullen told me that I was confused because I was so worked up. I knew it was you but it was dark and Cullen had the answer for everything. He is my best friend and I trusted him, why would he lie?”
