Beauty and The Beast

Twenty Nine

I woke up with a throbbing thud in my head. I groaned and sat up. I looked around to adjust where i was. The room was alien to me. The sun was started to shine.

"Where am i ?"

I was shocked when i realized i was just wearing underwear underneath. I pulled the sheets to my chest. Oh my god, what was happened last night. I couldn't remembered anything. The last thing I remembered was someone grabbed me at the bar. Was he the one who did this ? I spent the night out, James must be freaking angry right now. Oh no, i needed to go back. I started to stand but my head was still spinning. But i insisted to grab my dress. I put on the dress in seconds and made my way outside the room.

Oh god, i was in the hotel. I rode the elevator to the lobby. And confused with the surroundings. I clearly had no idea where was i. People were looking at me, of course they were. My looks were messy and the confuse look on my face must be alien to them. I walked out the lobby to get a cab, but still didn't know where was i. A bellboy sauntered me to ask was i alright and needed a help. But someone called my name, i turned and found two men walked towards me. I remember one of them, Mr.Callister, i met him in James office the other day.

"Cassandra is that you ? Jesus are you alright, dear ? You look like a mess and confused."

"Mr.Callister."

"Are you alright ?" A handsome tall guy next to him asked me in worry.

"Cassandra, you clearly not fine. Look, my nephew will take you to your home now. You're living in Black's right ?" Mr.Callister said.

"Yes, Sir."

"Okay then. Rob, take her to her house now." He said to the tall guy.

"Yes, uncle. This way to my car, Miss." Rob said to me.

I thanked Mr.Callister and followed Rob. He opened the car door for me and got in the driver seat. We rode in silence until he pulled the car to the side and went in to the mini market leaving me in the car. He came back in minutes and got in the car. He took out the apple juice from the bag and opened it. He handed it to me. I was unsure but took it. I was thirsty as hell.

"Thank you." I said.

"Are you okay ? What happened to you ?" He handed me a tablet of aspirin.

"I don't know." I replied weakly.

"My name is Rob Dillon." He smiled.

"Cassandra Pearce."

We arrived in the front of James's building. He got out and opened my door. He helped me stood and insisted to ushered me inside. After minutes of rejecting and assuring him i'll be fine, he finally gave up and let me walked inside alone. I braced my self to knocked the door. I surprised i managed to do it. Mrs.Kendrick opened the door and screamed hugging me.

"Oh my dear, where have you been ? Are you alright ?"

"Yes, Mrs.Kendrick i'm fine. Is he home ?"

"Yes, he is in the bedroom. He was going crazy looking for you, he didn't sleep a blink last night."

I made my way inside. Battling my self to meet him or not. But it will only get worse if i didn't. I had to face him, to explain and apologize. I knocked the door and opened it. He was sitting on the chair next to the bed. He looked up at me but didn't move an inch. So i was the one who made way towards him. He fisted his palms. Oh god, i was really in deep trouble.

"Where were you last night ?" His voice was deathly.

"I don't know."

"How can possibly you don't know ?" He rose and i took a step back.

"I really don't know. I woke up in nowhere I recognized, i can't remember anything about last night". My tears streamed down my cheeks.

"Then can you explain these ?" He threw photos at me.

I was confused but grabbed the photos on the floor. Shocked hit me to look at them.

"I have no idea about this. I got your message yesterday telling me to meet you at the hotel bar. ." Before i finished my line he cut me.

"Do you think i will fucking easily believe you ?" He shouted.

I gasped and clasped my mouth with my hands. It was been ages since I witnessed his beast.

"You have to believe me. It's not what you think it is." I reached for him but he flinched away.

"Don't touch me. keep your dirty hands off me, bitch." He shouted.

I sobbed at his words, how could he said that to me.

"You have to believe me. You said you love me, then you have to believe me." I pleaded.

But then i felt a hot sting on my left cheek. I reached to touch it, it hurt so much. He slapped me, he raised his hand to me. I palmed my cheek but kept my gaze down.

"How dare you say something about love in front of me after what you did." He said in a low voice.

I heard his voice was trembling, was he crying ? But i didn't dare to look up.

"Get out of my house, get the hell out of the town. I don't want to see your face anymore."

He left the room and i broke down to the floor crying. How could it end like this. Why it turned out to be like this. I loved him, god i loved him so much. I was going to tell him yesterday, but how could it turned out to be like this. I should leave this place. I couldn't stand if i had to meet his face again. I walked in to the closet and changed into jeans and a white blouse. I put on a flat-shoes. I tied my wild messy hair into a ponytail. I won't bring anything from here, since those weren't mine. I took off the Omega watch he gave me and place it on the table. I looked at my right wrist, and cried hard. I didn't to let this one go, can i keep it ? But i knew i couldn't, so i took off the bracelet and I sobbed hard kissing the bracelet before placing it next to the watch.

I walked out the bedroom, and found his back facing me. His front was on the large window looking at the sky. He didn't turned to face me. I intended to say goodbye but chose to cancel it. So instead i made my way to the front door and walked out. I reached the elevator, and found my self hard to breathe. I held my tears, this was really ending between us. I could't believe it. I entered the elevator and once i reached the lobby. I hurried walked out of the building. And kneeled with my face in my palms crying. A bellboy approached me touching my shoulder.

"Mrs.Black ? Are you alright ?" He asked worried.

"I'm fine, Seamus. Thank you." I shed my tears and smiled at him.

"Can i help you with something ?"

"Well, can you get me a cab ?"

"Of course, Ma'am. Wait here a second."

"Thank you."

I got in the back seat of the cab. I buried my face on the seat and cried hard. The driver looked sympathy to my sobbing. But i didn't care and just kept crying my heart out. I never thought it would be this hard, i never thought it would be this hurt. How could he accused me for being unfaithful ? How could he raised a hand on me ? Why would he said he loves if he won't believe me ? I didn't know where was i going, but i needed to get away from him. Far away from him. I needed to find a place. Because i couldn't survived if i had to see his face again.
