Chapter Seventy three
I look at Cullen for answers not believing what I hear tonight. How could Cullen be so cruel? He has been lying to me for months about something that has been depriving me of sleep and peace. Depriving me of my happiness with the marriage that I have been praying over for half my life. Cullen knows this, I told him, I begged him, I cried to him and he let me suffer for so long. Why?
“You trust him, is that why he lied to you? Is that why you told him about our marriage? Or is it because deep down you’re a spoiled, dramatic, heartless, stupid whore? You really thought you could sleep with my young brother and then marry me? Who was on your list next, my father?” he spits out and I cry aloud.
“Cyrus!” his mother chastises.
“Stop it this instant!” his father growls.
“It’s the truth, are you really going to pretend that you don’t know Cullen has feelings for you? Everyone knows he has a crazy obsession over you and that’s why his being a little dick right now. I bet you thought you could control him too into keeping your secret” Cyrus continues on
“No. that’s not…you have it all wrong. I already asked him if he has feelings for me and he denied, he only see me as a sister.” I answer on a sob.
“Does he? Want to tell your little sister how you feel about her since you’re in the mood to tell the truth tonight Cullen.” Cyrus says to Cullen.
I am in tears with snort coming out of my nose, my make up a mess and using the napkin to dry my wet face when everyone looks at Cullen waiting for his answer. I just want to get out of here but I can’t find the strength to and I just keep crying.
“Well fuck it. I am in love with you Bella; I have loved you even before I knew what love was or what it meant” Cullen says to me but I can’t even find the strength to look at him
“God no!” I say lowly to myself.
“Oh yes, you know and you have been playing with his feelings for years. It’s crazy.” Cyrus says laughing sarcastically.
“I didn’t know, I didn’t…please I just want to go home. Just let me go please.” I say because all that’s happening tonight is too much for me.
“Let you go home?” He asks and I shake my head and then he asks “you mean your parents house, don’t you?”
“Yes. Just let me go and I will deal with whatever you decide to punish me with later. I can’t take it anymore.” I cry
“You can’t take it anymore? How do you think I feel? You have been making a fool of me, lying to me and conspiring with my young brother behind my back. You just humiliated me in front of my whole family and you want to go back home? Back to your parent’s house, are you crazy?” he shouts at me
“I am sorry I never meant to hurt you, you don’t know how this has been eating at me the whole time…. You know how much I love you Cyrus….” I try saying through my tears.
“You love me enough to lie to me in my face. Get the hell up! I’ll deal with you at home.” Cyrus says as he forcefully takes my hand and pulls me up.
I look at the room for help, I can’t decipher my father-in-law’s reaction but I know he won’t interfere so it’s a no go. My mother in law has one hand on her chest, wide eyed and she looks like she wants to cry too, I guess what just happened is too much for her and I don’t even bother looking at Cullen because all he has done all night was try to get me killed.
Just as we reach at the exit Cullen decides to finally speak again. He has said all there is to say, so I don’t know what new news he has this time. Maybe dirt on Cyrus for a change
“There is just one tiny juicy thing I forgot to tell you that I think you should know.” he shouts and Cyrus stops, not turning back to look at him but still, he stopped.
“What is it now? Just get it over with.” Cyrus says clearly in a rush to get me home to my fate although he can’t himself from taking bait.
“Did Bella tell you that I kissed her that night?” Cullen asks and Cyrus finally turns back to look at him while the hold on my hand gets tighter and tighter.
“Excuse me?” Cyrus asks. God no.
“Yes. And she kissed me back too. That’s one of the best kisses I have ever had and whenever I look at her, I look at her lips and I remember how warm and sweet she was in my arms that night……” Cullen says and his eyes suddenly light up as he talks but he doesn’t get to finish his sentence.
Cyrus is suddenly on his chair, over the table and thrown himself on his brother in his chair as they fall in grunts and curses. The table is in a pile of mess on the floor after Cyrus used it as a path to get to his brothers throats and starts punching him angrily. I am frozen standing just inside the door looking at the scene before me. My mother-in-law runs towards them and tries to get Cyrus off his younger brother without success and my father in law hasn’t moved from his seat.
“Cedric do something.” my mother-in-law shouts at him after she has failed to stop Cyrus from killing his younger brother
“I knew this was going to happen at one point in their lives, let them let it out.” He answers swirling the drink in his glass.
“He is going to kill his young brother. Is that what you want? Guards! Felix!” My mother-in-law calls out and soon the house guards come in and separate the two.
Cullen has blood on his face that I don’t want to know where it’s from as he holds the back of his head. He must have hit his head pretty hard when he fell with Cyrus on top of him on the floor. Cyrus only has a few scratches on his face but he looks maniac right now. He pushes the two guards holding him off and comes for me on the other side of the room, still rooted by the door.
He pushes me back on wall by the throat and starts squeezing me there slowly but harder by the minute
“Did you really kiss him? You whore, after what happened between us? Have you no shame?” he asks me angrily through his teeth
“I….I am……sorry….” I try saying but I start seeing stars as he squeezes me tighter and tighter
“Let her go.” Cullen shouts and starts coming towards us but the guards take a hold of him before he makes contact.
