9 Save Me From This!

Adrian was different, even the first time when Amber met him in a hospital. He was an odd one, and before Amber could realise, she is forced into a marriage.

She was happy before she met him, she could go out with her friends. She wore the clothes she chose for herself, she did what she wanted, without being controlled by anyone.

And her life changed overnight once her fate had crossed paths with Adrian's. She was ejected from her house and sent to live with her new husband.

She was never asked if she was happy to live in a stranger's house. Overnight, her life changed. No longer a young girl, she could not go out with her friends. She had to abide by the rules of her husband.

She shouldered responsibility for all the household work, suddenly she had new duties. She had to cook food for Adrian and the people who were involved in his dual faced life. Six of his office buddies, sometimes ten. She had to make sure that Adrian got lunch for everyone by 8am.

She was kicked like a slave if she was late by a minute, she had to cook, did all the dishes, laundry and raped by her husband at night. The hopes and dreams she had about marriage and love had been completely changed.

She was no longer seen as an equal with her husband but instead obligated to follow the rules of her husband. She had been made to wear the clothes which Adrian chose. Sometimes, he even made her wear clothes which covers every strand of her hair; which was in any way not comfortable to walk or to see her needs.

"You have killed my child, and now you can never bear a child, why the fuck do you think I have been feeding you all these months for?" Adrian wrapped his hand around the neck of Amber and pinned her against the wall.

Amber breathed hard while getting choked by Adrian. She finally thought if it was worth living this life. She held the hand of Adrian which was on her throat and slowly loosened the grip around her neck.

"Who was it that made it happen?" Amber's eyes slowly rose up to look Adrian in his eyes, "You did horrible things to me, you raped me, that is what caused me a great loss."

Amber pushed Adrian back two steps, she pushed his hand from her neck with a fierce look in her eyes as how a lioness looks down upon a mere wicked fox.

"It is because of you that I cannot be a mother again! You ruined my life and you still blame me for everything that you did wrong!" She expostulated with what Adrian said.

"H-h-how dare you talk back to me?" Adrian's face turned red and ugly, he gritted his teeth as both his fists were clenched tight.

"You were just a puny woman! How fucking dare you talk back!" He swung his right hand into the wardrobe beside him and broke the door.

He showcased his power and the perks of being inside a male body. "I WILL MAKE SURE YOU DONT WAKE UP TOMORROW." Adrian leaped forward again and swung his right hand into the face of Amber.

His punch could shatter her skull or break her nose. But his right hand stopped midway.

Amber blocked his punch, she put both her hands between her face and Adrian's fist. She was pushed back a feet but she managed to stop Adrian's punch.

"You-just because you are a little special from the rest of humans, you had forgotten who I was? STUPID BITCH!" He said and pushed his fists further, landed a blow on her chest.

Amber felt her heart stopped for a second along with her breath. She thought she was dead for a second before her breathing kicked back in with a huge gasp and she fell on the ground with her back against the wall.

Adrian turned back, walked into his room to come out with a box which giving out the sounds of iron tools.

He placed the box on a table while smiling towards Amber. "You talked back to me even though I was a loving husband!" He pulled out a pair of pliers. "Why do you never understand my love for you?"

Amber just stayed down with heavy breathing and being scared. The expression on the face of Adrian changed to rage and he rushed towards Amber, he sat in front of her, pushed his fingers into her mouth and pulled her tongue out.

Amber was still in shock as to what had happened to her just now and before she realised. A pair of pliers were holding her tongue tight.

Before she realised the pliers were pressing down on her tongue. 'Please-somebody! Help me please.' She thought as the glimpses of things Adrian did to her in the past rolled in her head like a film.

*Knock knock!*

Suddenly a knock had been heard on their door, Adrian was shocked with the sound of the knock, and he was scared of people finding out his atrocities with his wife.

He signaled Amber to keep quiet as he went towards the door and peeked through the peephole of the door. It was Dylan who was standing outside the door.
