Beauty and The Beast

Epilogue

As everyone began filtering out for lunch, i remained glued to my bed with a bracelet he gave me on my hand. Normally i'd take lunch, but time wasn't on my side today. My stomach clenched tightly at the thought of him last night. I'd had my fair share of unpleasant attitude of him in the past few weeks, but last night really took the cake. I was late back to our penthouse last night, to my surprised he was already home. I gave him my usual warm greetings. Instead of earning a warm reply, i met his cold stare in return. Even though his piercing gaze intimidated me, i still had tilt my head to look up at him. I said my sorry and promised that it won't happen again. I glanced up at him, antagonizing me, glaring, arms crossed over his broad chest. Does he need to do that just because i was came home late ? My eyes widened as i watched him turn away and slamming the bedroom door hard behind him. Leaving me breathless and crying in the living room.

It had been a year of our marriage. The first year was dreamy and wonderful. We kept ensuring each other of our love. And cherished each other. He made me his queen. I was the happiest girl in the world, every women envied me. But even the beautiful fairy tale, didn't always happily ever after. It was started three weeks ago. At the first week, he always busy. He never had a time for me. He left for work when i still asleep, and came home when i had fallen asleep already. So technically, i never had a chance to meet him. But as a caring wife i was, i shrugged off all the negatives thoughts and just be positive. He must be had some problem in the office that required his full time and attention. Maybe as the week past, everything will go back to normal. But my hopes were nothing but wrong.

As the second week, if i thought things would be better, i was so wrong. It got worse. He seemed really distant from me. Long gone was the perfect warm husband i married, replaced by the cold loveless creature. He never touched me, let alone loved me. He barely even stand in the same room as me. The bed was cold without his presence every each night, he left me sleep alone as he spent all night in his study. All the nights i spent with questioning my self what i did i do wrong ?

The third week was a nightmare. He slept in the separate room from me. He often yelled at me for the little mistake i made. His attitudes made me earning a sympathy and pity look from Costner and Mrs.Kendricks. But they can't do anything about it. They just calming me and patted my back when he left. And last night was too much, what was his problem ? Was slamming the doors became his habit now ?

Could that be he was getting tired and bored of me ? Of course, it had been a year of our marriage. For a freewill guy like him, being married to me was like a mouse in a trap. But he said he loved me and wanted to be with me forever. I can't let this continues. I needed to confront him, ask him what was going on. I had to save my marriage. I grabbed my coat from the closet and began making my way outdoor. I tapped the elevator with force in order to make it arrived fast, i know it was useless. But i can't hold my nervous to talk to him. As i reached the lobby i found Costner and Simon, they stood immediately to see me.

"Take me to his office, now." I ordered Costner.

With a timbre in my voice and tears in my ears, Costner gave me an understanding look and nodded. He led me to get into the limo. The ride to his office took thirty minutes, when we arrived i quickly walked out of the car without waiting for Coster to open the door for me. I half ran into the building. The guards and receptionists were stunned to see me,of course they weren't expecting me, they stood straight immediately and greeted me. I simply nodded at them, in this circumstance i didn't think i'd manage a smile. One of the beauty receptionist hurriedly walked to led me into the elevator. I thanked her before the door shut. As i reached my husband's floor, his receptionist stood waiting me in front of the elevator. I guessed she got a call from the front desk at the lobby as soon as i got in the elevator. She greeted me and offered a refreshment. I brushed her off politely and made my way to his office. Andrea sauntered me with surprised.
