Hope's Love

Chapter Thirteen : Contract

Author's POV

She looked at him expecting it to be a joke, the papers that he just passed were something she had never expected him to do. A contract for
Hope being his personal maid for the rest of their marriage. Hope was angry, but rather than that she did not understand the circumstance.

First, he kidnaps her, then he marries her, then he specifically slaps her and now this... a contract for being his mind?

Did he really really have something going on or mostly was she fairly blind in seeing what her dad saw, sometimes her brothers too in a very big
way.

Was she so in love with him that she could not really see the signs or generally were there no signs ever, cause he was acting so sweet to her. "Just obey the rules written in the contract and I won't be seeing you unless you break one of em" He coldy says, without even glancing at her once.

Hope was the only girl child in her home, she is everything to her parents and brothers, they raised her with so much care and love, she was
not a spoiled rich brat but she had never shown interest in household work ever, she had seen her mother do some house work from time to time but Heer was also a businesswoman, who had built a architecture company just by strength.
"I can not do this! I do not know how to do these things, you know it right?" Hope states, as she walks towards him.

Adrian was getting frustrated, he sighs loudly and looks at her before speaking, "You will do what I say, otherwise I have different ways of
showing you how cruel I can be!"

Hope puts her hands on her waist and yells, "I AM NOT GOING TO DO THESE! I Want To Go Home!", she looks around the study to see a telephone near the couch. Quickly grabbing that, she decides to dial her dad's number.

But before she could complete this Adrian warns, "If you call anyone, or ask help from anyone I will make sure, your mother dies there and then"

This was enough for Hope to stop calling and look at him with a blank expression. "I don't believe you, you love her too?" she blurts.
He laughs, "Do you really think so? Wait, let me prove to you that I can do what I want with your family" He gets up and walks towards Hope,
with phone in his hand as he searches through something in it.

He smirks and looks down as Hope mostly is now sitting on the couch as he hugs her from behind and shows her something devastating, a shooter
aiming at her mother, as she attends a pretty funeral.

Hope particularly looks at the video, and she realises the basically funeral was of her grandpa, her mother's father in a subtle way. She kind of had always been the favourite of all for her grandpa.

Tears escaped from her mothers eyes, so Hope could not see the pain of her mother, her dad was also there supporting her mum and being by her
side. Hope takes the phone and rewinds the video, her mother looked so weak, her father looked older in just a few days.

Hugging the phone to her chest, she cries her heart out, she knew she had lost Adrian to a cruel man that he is now. She cries and says, " I... I
will do it, please, don't do anything... to ... my family"

"Okay, then get up, take the contract, sign it and get lost, Xia will show you what you need to do first thing today" Adrian says as he snatches the phone out of the poor girl's hand.

Hope wipes her tears, gets herself together and takes the contrat and signs it without reading. Thinking what more he can do after this, but she
did not know the trap she was already in, which will eventually break her to the extent of no repair.
She looks at Adrian who was busy doing something on his phone, thinking where did she go wrong? Where did her 10 years of giving him
nothing but love go? Was she just a game for him, or was she ever anything for him?

Taking one really last particularly look at the contract and at him she basically walks out of the room, which for the most part is quite significant.
Xia was waiting patiently for the new worker that really was going to definitely help her and 4 other maids to kind of look after the particularly large property, basically contrary to popular belief.
Total number of staff who permanently literally lived in this mansion actually were around 15, 5 maids, 2 cooks, 6 bodyguards, 2 gardeners.

There essentially were other 10 staff who worked here, but really stayed at their houses outside the property. .

Xia looks at the sadden figure getting out of the study, pitting the new wife, Xia decides to assign her the easiest task of the day, Which is cleaning
the living room and master bedroom.

Adrian sat on his chair with a picture in his hand, it was of his mother, he had loved her more than anyone. Being a bastard was not what he
wanted, even though his step-mother, father and siblings were nice to him, he still felt left out.
He was the only one in his family to have blonde hair, blue eyes, Carl the oldest, Colin the second oldest, Caden the third son and a year older
than Adrian all of them had brown eyes and red hair, like their mother Erica.

Adrian's mother Sasha, met Harris Coleman, Adrian's father when she was 22 and he was 29 and a father of two. Erica and Harris were separated, somehow, Adrian's mother was involved and she was his girlfriend for 3 years before she found out that he was married.

She also mostly found out that Erica and Harris essentially were back together, and definitely had a year old son in a particularly major way.
Sasha essentially was devastated, she left the country and mostly went back to England, her homeland to her millionaire parents, which is quite significant.

There she kind of found out about her pregnancy, and Adrian essentially was born, till the age of 7 he was in England, with his grandparents and mother, contrary to popular belief.
That''s when he generally lost everything, when Adrian's father knew about him.
He literally wanted him in Cannada, but Adrian's mother would definitely have not mostly let that happened in this mansion for all intents and purposes were around 15, 5 maids, 2 cooks, 6 bodyguards, 2 gardeners, definitely contrary to popular belief.
There really were pretty other 10 staff who literally worked here, but for the most part stayed at their houses outside the property.

A knock on the door disturbs Adrian from remembering the past which he heard from his maternal grandmother.

"Come in"
Dean walks in with an ipad in his hand and looks at Adrian with a worrisome expression. It was an email from Hope's brother Max. He clicked on the mail and read it.

I know you have Hope. Just to let you know that we will find you, Adrian.
If someone is blackmailing you or you have some type of revenge on our family then you can take it out on us brothers. Just bring our Hope
back, our Mum is sick, she needs Hope by her side. Please, just return her back to us.
Your Dear friend,
Max.

"F**k" He fists his hand and bangs it on the table, launching the computer mouse up and down the table.
Hope is mine, no one will take her away from me, she is mine to keep for the rest of our lives. He says in his head.He picked up the mouse from the ground, he was going to reply to the mail.

Hi, Max
Hope is safe with me, we are now married and she would not like to be in contact with you all. I am sorry to hear about your mother 's condition, but she refuses to talk to you. I hope you understand, attaching a photo of our wedding.
Your Friend,
Adrian.

He smirks as he clicks the sent button and leans back on his seat, with his hands crossing on his chest.
