FYH Outtake 12
This is for Cusic1981 who asked for an outtake from Tanya's POV to see into her warped mind.
Tanya
I sat at my makeup table getting ready to go out for the night. As I was checking myself in the mirror, ensuring that I looked perfect, like it was ever possible that I wasn't absolutely beautiful and the definition of perfection. I watched my sisters lounging on my bed behind me. They were so lucky that they had me to ensure that they got everything they deserved in life. Because of me, we were going to be rich and our lives would be perfect. We all deserved better than we got in life.
Our Mother was stupid to get involved with the losers that fathered us. None of them bothered to stick around long enough to actually meet us. Then she up and died leaving me to care for my sisters by myself. It seemed like the perfect answer when Esme offered to take us in. Edward wasn't that great of a catch, but he was sickly and it was totally possible that he'd die young and I'd get all of his trust fund and not have to settle for half through the divorce. No. I wasn't planning on staying married to the fool. He was too much of a wimp for my taste. The plan was simple. Marry him. Pop out a kid. Maybe two. I'd get more child support that way. Then I wouldn't have to hide my real men that I see. Not that I'd ever marry any of them, I'd lose my spousal support. Well, I might consider it if I found someone richer than Edward.
"Don't forget to tell Esme that I took my headache medicine and have gone to bed early so she won't look for me. I only have a month to the wedding and I'll be so pissed if you idiots fuck this up for us. I've work long and hard to get these people right where I want them."
"We'll tell her. We won't mess up."
"Better not. I better get going. Danny was expecting me twenty minutes ago."
"Aren't you afraid he'll leave before you get there?"
"What do I care?" I said to Irina with a glare, "Danny is great in bed, but my cash cow is sitting in his room down the hall studying. Fucking freak. I mean, he already graduated, so what the hell does he have to study?" The shrugged back and Irina grabbed one of my fashion magazines off my nightstand. Both of them needed all the help that they could get. They were pretty but neither of them was anywhere near as beautiful as I am. I was going to have to find a couple of rich suckers for them to marry and then walk them through the process of taking their husbands for every penny they could get.
"Don't you love Edward at all?"
I laughed at Kate's naiveté, "certainly not. Love is for fools and weaklings. The three of us are better than that nonsense. You just remember that, sister dear, and keep listening to me and all of our dreams will come true." I dabbed some perfume on my neck and grabbed my coat. "See you tomorrow!" And I walked out onto the balcony in the cold night air. I hated living in Arizona. The days were too hate and the nights too chilly. Too soon, I'd be forced to live in New England. I saw nothing beautiful or glorious about snow. I had already decided that as soon as I got my divorce from Edward I was taking my sister's back to Los Angeles. At least we wouldn't be stuck living in that God awful hovel my mother had us living in.
My sister often asked why I was even bothering to marry Edward if I didn't love him and if I was already planning our divorce but they just didn't have the vision and ingenuity that I did. There was one thing that our mother's life taught me. Men would always cheat. It was as certain as the sun rising in the East was. If they were allowed to have their fun then why couldn't I. I had needs and Edward just wasn't good at fulfilling them.
I walked to my car that I had parked as far from the house as I could without it looking suspicious and got in. I checked my hair and makeup one last before I drove away with a smile on my face. My sister was so foolish. Of course I wasn't worried about Danny leaving before I got there because I just didn't care if he did. He knew that he was lucky that I agreed to meet him in the first place. Plus, I had a ton of other men just waiting for me to call them and make their night.
I only had one month left before that fool married me and I had everything that I had worked for for years. Nah, I wasn't worried about getting caught. His meddlesome bitch of a sister already caught me once and Esme refused to believe her, her own daughter. I had this family exactly where I wanted them and there was nothing that was going to stop me from getting what I deserved.
A/N:
I guess she didn't account for Bella and Edward discovering his free will. This is not beta'd because I am going to be sending Sweetpea123 a pretty hefty canon one-shot to beta very soon. Keep a look out for more stories from me!
