Chapter Seventy four
This makes Cyrus let me go and letting me get air while I cough from the pressure he had put on my throat.
“And you. I want you to stay the fuck away from my wife. I don’t want you to talk to her or even look at her, she’s dead to you. You had the chance to tell her how you feel for eighteen years and you did nothing. You took her to a night club that was not affiliated with the family, almost got her killed and took her to my house. You put her in my bedroom and my clothes and left her there for me to find like a sacrifice and I did what a full blooded man would do and made her mine. You were a coward and now she is my wife so deal with it. She never loved you baby brother.” Cyrus shouts at his brother with his finger pointed at him with anger.
“I love her. You don’t even love her anyway.” Cullen says slowly wiping the blood from his face.
“It doesn’t matter. She is my wife and I will do with her as I please.” Cyrus says as he starts heading back towards me.
“Let’s go.” He says to me and I rear back from him hitting the wall behind me.
“No. I don’t want to leave with you when you’re like this.” I answer meekly with fear.
“Listen to me you little scheming lying snake…” Cyrus says pointing his finger at me and advancing towards me slowly.
“I have heard enough tonight. You leave my daughter alone and get out of my house.” My mother in law suddenly says as she comes to stand beneath us.
“You can’t seriously be defending this little whore…” Cyrus starts saying and earns a slap from his mother that has me hissing.
“One more insult from you and you will regret it. I want the both of you out of my house” my mother-in-law says pointing to both of his sons as he does.
“Mom…..” they both protest in unison.
“Shut up! The both of you. I can’t believe you’re my sons, I can’t believe that I gave birth to the two of you and raised you. I raised you to have conscious and respect and tonight you have disappointed me to the end. You used, manipulated and exploited Bella for your own individual selfishness and you still blame her for the mistakes that you made. My poor girl has been so unhappy and stressed that I thought Cyrus wasn’t treating her right but turns out you have been playing with her emotions, no wonder she wanted to kill herself. I don’t want to see either of your faces so leave my house, now!” Mrs. Cedric shouts as she points at each of her boys and comes to stand towards me and taking me inside her arms.
“I am not leaving here without that snake.” Cyrus says looking at me with venom in his eyes.
“She is not going anywhere with you, not when you’re like this. Look how you squeezed her neck and nearly strangled her to death. She is staying here, you can go” my mother-in-law says as she looks at my neck inspecting her sons work with sadness.
“No!” Cyrus answers hitting the table startling us “She is my wife and my property. I love and respect you mother but this has got nothing to do with you, let my wife go.”
“Guards take them out now.” my father in-law says and soon Cyrus and Cullen are escorted out of their parent’s house. I never thought I would see the day but right now I am a wreck and I have my own shit to digest. How do I get out of this mess.
My father in law walks after them probably going to his office and I cry on my mother-in-law shoulder until she escorts me up the stairs and prepares a bath for me. She tells me to take a bath while she prepares tea to help soothe my throat from all the crying and getting strangled. I take a long bath and after when I come to the room she is there handing me comfy pajamas and combing my hair while she pour me the tea. She sits with me in bed while I put my head on her lap and she sings to me like she did when I was young and I had a nightmare.
I am glad she is there for me and I know from the sympathy look and guilt in her face that she thinks she is partly to blame for what happened. I don’t want her to feel that way but I am also glad that she isn’t talking to me or asking me about what happened or what I feel but being there for me. I would love to soothe her and tell her it’s not her fault but there Is only room for one weakling today and that happens to be me.
I can’t believe what happened in the dining room downstairs today. It still feels like a dream when I think about it. I just found a new side to Cullen I never thought existed before, I keep replaying how I begged him to help me and how he laughed in my face. Then later how he pretended to be my friend and I trusted him and told him personal things and how he used them against me. What hurts most is how he lied to me. How he lied to me without blinking for months on end and marveled in my pain. When you trust someone your whole life and they lie to you about something that determines your future, how do you move on from that betrayal? How do you trust anyone ever again? And can you ever forgive them?
