Hope's Love

Chapter Eight : Soon to be bride

Hope's POV

Groaning from pain I open my heavy eyes to look at a beautiful black puppy licking my thumb and fingers of my left hand. I was astonished as he stepped up on my stomach, nearing my face as he licked my cheek with his small tongue.
I pull him up in my arms as I get up with a smile on my face as I scratch the little pup.
He is so cute! He makes me feel so happy.
I giggle as he licks my fingers, gosh this one is irresistible. I kiss the little lab on its head. Adrian comes inside the room asking, "Did you like
him?"

Ignoring him, I play with this little happiness. What should I name him?

"Nyx?" I hear a little bark as I say that name. He likes it.

I scratch his head,"You like the name, don't you, Nyx?God! You are so so cute"

"So, you liked it, right?" Adrian asks again, I ignore him again. "Okay, that's it. This will be the last time you ignore me because of some pup, Okay? I will confiscate him if you do not answer me right now, Hope!" He suddenly gets bipolar and walks towards me.I hate him!

I get Nyx in my arms and close to my chest as I still don't answer Adrian. Why should I have the right to speech! And I am now pleading the
fifth. I giggle in my thoughts as I remember one of the Good Wife's episodes.

As if he heard my thoughts he says, "Here, pleading the fifth does not work, neither in our home country Canada. So speak up before I take that pup away"

I still stubbornly sit there, the next moment Nyx is away from my arms. And I am laying on the bed as Adrian has climbed on me, my breath hitched as he starts kissing my neck. I bit my lip to stop a moan, but he notices that somehow and with his right thumb he pulls me biting lip and
looks up at me.

"I want you to moan for me" He demands.
"Ah" A short but loud moan escapes from my mouth as he sucks the skin on my neck. This feels so good! I feel myself getting wet, I love it when he does this. I should not be doing this! I try my best to push him from his shoulder.

"Stop pushing me! Let me make you feel good!" He sternly says.

I gulp and look him in the eyes and he kisses me, I try my best to not to kiss him back.

"Sto...Stop" I try to pull away from the kiss but he continues to torment me.
Tears roll down as I give up fighting him, he is angry, I have never seen him like this. He had never ever touched me without my permission. I suddenly realise his hands are going down to my crotch area. I was sleeping in a big baggy shirt and small shorts. Now, this is going too far, I can't let him do this to me.
I push him away with all my strength,and start to scream on top of my lungs,"Stop! Stop! Please... Adrian! Ad... please!"

He finally comes out of that zone, and looks down at me. I close my eyes as the tears fall, "I hate you" hearing that he climbs off me and gets out of the room as he shuts the door behind him.
I curl up to my side as the little pup who is now on the ground, looks at me. And I cry even more.
I was walking around the beautiful garden, which had all different types of plants and flowers. I had Nyx tagging along with me in my arms. I
sat on a bench where I could see the beautiful wide sea. I had put a collar on him to get him used to it. I set him free in the garden behind me.
Till my vision reaches I can't see anything except the sea. There is a maid and a guard following me all these days. Tomorrow is my wedding
with Adrian, he is so persistent about getting married. I have not talked to him in 2 days after that incident, even though he has not been showing up on lunch and dinner.

Today will be the last day to and the only opportunity for me to escape before getting married. I found a set of earplugs in the kitchen area, my hair was down so I put in the earplugs in each ear slowly, not wanting Adrian's man to notice me. Connecting the earplugs to the 2G phone, I call dad again.
I speak as soon as the phone rings, "Hello, Dad!"
"Hope, baby! Where are you? Are you okay? Are you safe?" I hear my mum's concerned voice as I cut her off " Mum, listen, now is not the time to talk about this. Please pass the phone to dad or Max bhai."

"Okay" she mutters. I looked around in case anyone had heard me or saw me talking but thankfully no one had.

"Hello! Hope, princess, tell me where are you?" I hear my Dad ask, "Dad, Adrian has me, I am getting married tomorrow, somewhere on some
island, dad. I don't know where but there are lots of bamboo trees on this island. It has ..." before I could say anything, the phone goes off flying in the sea. A hand wraps around my arm and pulls me towards them. I see a furious Adrian dragging me to god knows where.

"When I say no contact, when I say you will follow the rules set for you, you don't get any of this do you?" He yells at me as he keeps dragging me, I struggle in his hold.

He drags me into a cottage-like house, and we pass the living room and ascend the stairs. I groan at his speed and the hold on my arm.
He pushes the big double black door, and drags me inside with him, the next moment I am on this king sized bed.

"This is your punishment for disobeying me, and trying to get away from me" He says this and leaves the room, with the black doors closing
behind him. After about half an hour, I get out of my thoughts, I look around the room as I soothe the aching hand where his hand imprint lies.

My dad and mum must be so worried, do I have to stay here for the rest of my life? Do I want to stay here with Adrian for the rest of my life? I can't do that, I need to see my family, friends, I have to go back. I love Adrian, I really do but I can't be away from my family for him. I love them too. I walk towards the black door and start banging and knocking screaming
Adrian's name.

"Adrian, Adrian! I want to talk to you! Adrian"
I hear footsteps on the other side of the door and put my ear on the door to listen more.
"Adrian? Is it you ?"
"What do you want now?" he asks with a cold tone.

"Please just let me go? Please? I can not marry you Adrian? For me marriage is sacred, it is a celebration, it is something I want my family to be there, for my friends to be there to see us. To remember us, our union, our love, Ad! Please, let me go home?" I express my thoughts as tears roll down my eyes. I step away from the door and I get no response from him. Slowly walking towards the bed, where I sit and wipe my tears. I hear the door open, looking up I see Adrian walking towards me in a dashing
Armani blue suit, he never wears things like this unless, special occasions. "Get up" He orders, and I sniff.

"Why?" I ask sniffing again, I wipe my tears as they still flow like a never ending stream.
He sits beside me and takes my hand in his, as I look down at my hands. He wipes my tears with his handkerchief and says, "God! You can
seriously cry a river, my sweets. I am ... I am sorry for everything, I am sorry for the other day, when I touched you, and ... you didn't like it. It was wrong of me, I am also sorry for taking you away from your family, friends. I am sorry that I have to force you to marry me. And I am also sorry that you will marry me today!"

I look at him with wide eyes as he says the last part. "Today?Did I hear it correctly? Today Adrian?"
He nods and kisses the back of my hands. I uff and pull my hand.
"We will be getting married in 3 hours, love, until then get dressed, we have people for hair and make up waiting outside. I love you my beautiful
soon to be bride" he kisses my cheek and gets up and leaves.

Soon, 4 to 5 elegant ladies show up and a beautiful dress is presented in front of me. Oh my god! This dress is similar to what mum wore when she and dad got married. How did he know this? He had never shown interest in my opinions I thought but he knows this?

A tear escapes my eye as I remember how mum would be so happy for me. How dad would have cried for letting me go!

I miss them so much, so much.
