Hope's Love

Chapter Fifteen : Cruel

Author's POV

Waking up at 6 am was not easy for Hope, she is not the one who rises early. Being in love is such a great feeling. She loves him, that is all she has
learned to do in these 10 years.

Quickly, wiping some uncooked omelette, burnt waffles and some not so burnt toast with freshly poured orange juice and coffee were ready on the table till 6:50. She was covered with flour, eggs and some orange juice too. Being clumsy she slipped on the kitchen floor which cause the waffle batter
to fall on her.

She waits for Adrian to join the table and tell her how the food was. It was the first time, she maid food for him. "Yes, I will be there in 30 minutes"

A voice comes from the stairs where she knew he was coming down. Smiling brightly with some smudged flour on her cheek, she gets up from
the chair and waits for Adrian to come in.In a second, he walks in, without glancing at her, he takes a seat on the chair, where she is just standing beside him.

"Here, try this" she serves him little on everything. When she is about to sit in the chair beside him he sternly speaks, "Maids do not join the table"

An ache spreads through her heart, as she hears him speak. Biting her lip, she tries her best not to cry.Suddenly, she hears a crash near her foot, it was Adrian throwing his plate on the floor.

"You call this food? Even my horses eat something nicer than this. You can not do one thing right can you ?" He gets up yelling, and shakes her up by her shoulder.

By now, Hope was sobbing, she could not understand what he wanted from her? He knew she did not know how to cook. Then what was he expecting?

He pushes her down which makes two pieces of glass pearce through her hand and belly, she was still in shock that she did not even feel it. He
leaves without knowing she was in pain.
She slowly gets up from the uncomfortable position and is still crying,
bleeding. She sits on the floor, shifting a little back as she leans towards her,

she looks at the wound in her arms, it's just a scratch the bleeding is not coming from here.
She now feels the pain on her right side, putting her hand on the side she feels a pretty big piece of glass stabbed in there. She did not have the
courage to pull it out so she yells the name of the person she trusts the most.

"Adrian"

"Please help me!" Another yell and he still did not come, she again screams his name, he still does not come. She was hurt, it hurt her more than the injury itself. Him not listening to her, not coming to help her.

Xia, rushes in the kitchen as soon as heard Hope screaming, helping her get up, Xia takes her to the nearest room where she could sit and asks a
guard to call a doctor.

Looking at Hope, Xia knew it was Adrian who did it, how much would he hurt her more? She knew that he was not the one who would hurt her physically, he was not that cruel or was he?

Hope stops crying and as she falls unconscious, Xia was pressing a cloth to her but she did not want to stab the glass furthermore. Wondering
where the f**k was the doctor? She tells Annalise, another maid, to give her the phone. Annalise quickly hands the phone to her boss, as quickly takes over her position of pressing the cloth gently on Hope's stomach.

Dialling the number of her employer who picks up at the second ring, she says,
"Sir, come quick. Mam is hurt bad."

Adrian was confused, Mam? Hope?She was fine when he left 15 minutes ago. What happened to her? His eyes widened as he spoke back, "DId you call doctor Roseanne?"

"Yes, sir. You come back" and she hangs up the phone. Adrian was not too far, he turned his car around, and rushed towards his house where her
wife was bleeding.

"F**k" He smashes his fist on the dashboard of the car, he was already hurting her too much and now this.

2 Weeks later

"Here, have this" Adrian hands three pills to Hope who had to take a surgery where there was a little tear on her liver. Adrian was shocked,
ashamed, that he was the one who did this to her.
He needed to tell her now, tell her that her father is coming today, to see if she wants to be here.

"Hope, I hope you know that I can do anything, to your family and friends right?" He suddenly speaks, spitting the water in her mouth and she looks at him with anger.

"Do not do anything to them, I am doing everything you are asking for" Her anger disappears as she looks at him, who was looking at her in rage.
He sits down beside her, clenching his teeth and says," Your dad will be here today. I need you to be on your best behaviour. You will tell your dad that you are happy with me and want to stay with me. If you do not want to do it, I will kill your dad there and then"

She could not breathe, she thought, how can she hide anything from her dad? She has never? But will Adrian really kill anyone? Will he be this
much of a cruel person?

Without taking another second, she nods at his sentence, she was just happy seeing her father after so long. She would do anything, for her father to not to know that she was unhappy because it will break his heart.

She looks at Adrian, thinking if he would ever let her go? Will she ever be able to stay here without anyone to support her or love her.

Her heart is excited, she loves the idea of seeing her dad. She missed him so much. A smile spreads on her face as thinking about it.
