/for those interested this is the same scene from the novel/
“You don’t love me.”
“What…”
“You don’t love me. You hit me and you whipped me and you tortured me and you sold me to other men. How is that love? What kind of love is that?”
“That’s… It may be hard for you to fully understand yet, but…”
“No matter how you try to justify it, it’s not love. You don’t love me.”
“You stupid woman, what do you know about love?”
“At least I know more than you do. My husband taught me properly.”
“He’s never hit me before. No matter what lie I tell him, he never hit me.”
“When I’m sick or when I’m crying, he’s never once raised his voice.”
“When I’m having a hard time, and when I don’t know what to do with myself, he’d always be patient and try to help me.”
“He’s never forced me to do things I didn’t want to do.”
“When I don’t listen, he doesn’t punish me. He’s never once insulted or mocked me.”
“From the first moment that I met him, he has always protected me. Always.”
“You asked me if I wanted to be a queen? When I’m with him, I’m not just a queen, I’m a goddess. When he looks at me, I feel like I’m the only girl in the world. When he looks at me, I don’t have a single flaw. I’m a goddess in his eyes. I’m perfect. Who knew that being loved would feel like this?”
(Between every speech here from Ruby there’s explanation on why and how her husband makes her feel that way, but I cut it out)
“Stop… Stop it, you’re…”
“Do I still look like I don’t understand? No matter what anyone says, I know for sure. I know what love is. Because I’m happy. I’m so happy to be with him. I’ve never been so happy in my life.”
“Stop…”
“I’m no longer the little girl my brother saved from that hell of a monastery. You’re my brother. The brother that took me from one hell to another hell. So don’t talk to me about love. No matter how much you deny it, you could never compare to a man like Izek. I will never let go of his hand and run to you!”
The loud noise of a mirror shattering to pieces sounded throughout the room.
I couldn’t figure out where it had come from, and something was blocking my sight.
My body, slowly taking note of the pain coursing through my veins, seemed to be too exhausted to realize what had just happened.
Cesare was breathing hard as he slammed me down on the ground. He had his hands around my upper arms and his nails were digging into my skin.
Even though my whole body was throbbing and screaming in pain, I kept on sneering. This was nothing. I was used to worse.
“You’re so pathetic.”
“Shut up.”
“You’re so pathetic.”
“Shut up.”
“Do you want to know what the difference is between you and him? When I’m with you, I want to kill myself!”
“Shut up!”
Another crack, another mirror shattered. The pain really struck me now. There were shards embedded in my flesh and blood was staining my hands, dripping on the floor.
I let go of the Flower of Glory.
Cesare brutally and violently pulled on the ends of my hair, like he was about to rip it all out of my skull. He loomed over me as I raised my head and saw his face.
He looked like a young man sentenced to his death.
His eyes held nothing but anger and despair, loathing and anguish.
Oh my, what a face.
I don’t remember what exactly made him stop. Whether it was the unafraid curl on my lips or if it was the sound of the door opening.
