Hope's Love

Chapter Fourteen: Struggle

Hope's POV

I looked at the clock on the wall, it was already 8:30, past dinner. This was the last room to clean, Xia, told me what to do? I did. I tried my best learning from Xia, how to clean a bedroom, I thought it was just to clean the bed and put clothes in the closet. But, Xia told me as a maid you need to clean windows, clean the tables, bathroom, change sheets, change pillow case, clean the carpet, etc.

"Come on, let me show you where you could eat your dinner!" A maid called Freya, says, as she pulls my hand to the kitchen. I walk with her to
the kitchen island, where she gives me some ground beef, and a toast on a plate.I look at Freya, and open my mouth to say something but she speaks first, "You need to eat whatever is leftover, sir's order. You can not make
anything else "

I nod, and look at the plate, I don't eat beef and pork. Taking the toast from the plate, I get myself a cup of water and stuff the toast and gulp the glass of water. I put the plate in the sink after throwing the beef away.

" Is there anything I need to do?" I say as I look at Freya, she glares at me, as if I snatched her candy and replies, "No, but tomorrow wear the
maid uniform specially made for you, fat ass"
She leaves before I do and am in shock, what the heck did I do? Why is she calling me names?
With one last look, I leave the kitchen while putting the lights off. It was almost 10 pm now.

I close my eyes, as soon as my body lands on the bed. I hear someone clearing their throat. Sighing I open my eyes, to see Adrian sitting on the couch. How the heck did I not see him?
"What are you doing here?" I get up from the bed, even though I have no energy to because I don't want him to think that I got tired by just
cleaning two rooms.

"How were your chores today?" He sarcastically questions.

I roll my eyes, and walk towards him as he leans forward and his eyes follow me. I sit on the chair opposite him and shrug.

"As if you wanna know"
"I love you baby, I do wanna know. So, how was work?" He again asks me as he grabs the bottle of water sitting beside him on the table. "Can you just tell me what your problem is ?" I give up, right now I just wanna take a warm bath and go to bed.

He nods and slides a piece of paper towards me, I read it out loud.

Rules For Personal Maid/Wife
Personal maid? personal? Wow!
Rule No.1. The personal maid wakes up at 6 am to make edible breakfast for Mr. Adrian Coleman.
Rule no.2. She needs to need to any need of Mr. Adrian Coleman. Rule .no.3 She should obey each and every rules and orders Rule No. 4. She will eat only after Mr. Adrian Coleman has eaten.
What the heck is this? Is this some Indian drama? I glare at him and he smirks and speaks "Read"
Rule no. 5. Personal Maid/Mrs. Hope Coleman, will be bearing future heirs to husband Mr. Adrian Coleman, and if she cannot he has
the right to bed another woman and get the child.
That's it! I have fully confirmed that he is nothing but a cruel, ruthless, monster. Who has no heart!
Tears roll down as he insist me to read ahead,
Rule No. 6. She is suppose to not make any contact to her family or friends until she has permission from her husband.
Rule No. 7. Mr Adrian Coleman has no responsibility for you in any way, form or action.

"How can you be so cruel, Ad? Are you really the man I love?" I speak out as I sob.
"No, now you know what you need to do?" He gets up and leaves. My heart is beating so fast, I think it will burst.

My eyes shut on their own as I lean back on the chair as my mind goes blank. Presuring myself to think but I just could not process.
