The Devil's Rebirth

CHAPTER 28. Angel's Hatred

Emir's Point of View

I can't, I dropped my gun and let them take my wife instead. My heart feels like being crumpled looking at my wife who is getting away with them while I promised myself to take her back.

"Sir, we need to get ready for the pursuit," Alfred said to me from behind.

"No," I shortly answered,

"But what about Miss Hope?"

"I'll take her back and make that Nicolo and Henry pay for this." I seriously said.

While following their steps away, my brain is trying to analyze why they asked for Ariane? And why did they look so relaxed when I arrived? I'm sure that there is something else from me aside from taking my wife away and I need to know what it is.

But my heart jumped in surprise when suddenly they pushed my wife away before they drove fast with their vehicle. I quickly moved my feet towards her and crouched down to support her body but she pushed my body away.

"Don't touch me." She utter,

She was crying her heart out as she slumped and digging her nails to the ground, crumpling her hands on the grass.

Alfred and the others roamed around the place while I waited for my wife to dry her tears up. I sat on the ground beside her watching her as she breaks down.

After taking deep breaths, I sighed before I finally speak,

"Why did you lie to me?" I asked, but she just glared at me.

"Leave me," she answered.

"You know I can't do that."

"Why? I don't even know you, but you never left my life alone since that day, you keep on following me wherever I go. You ruined my life Emir, you're a devil!" She hissed, referring to the first day I saw her.

"I know I am," I retorted.

"I hate you,"

"I love you," I shortly answered her but she only gave a hard slap on the face. My face jerked to the side with the strength she put on her palm and I felt my cheek stings.

"How dare you! After you get your other woman pregnant!? I know, you want a child but you said you'll wait! You always said that you will wait!" She yelled at me with her tearful sad eyes.

"You even keep her safe in this beautiful place, while you keep me as a prisoner in your hell!" She slowly stands up,

"But I always keep on coming back to you, even though you always hurt me. I stayed even how many times I wanted to leave you and you know why? Because I love you, hoping that one day you'll change and will feel the same genuinely towards me," she declares and that snapped me.

"Hope?" I was shocked by her confession and slowly moved my body to get up. I stretched my arms forward to reach her but she didn't let me and take a step back.

"Yes, I do, I loved you but you know what? I regretted it, I regret everything, I regret each day I spent with you, and I don't want you in my life anymore. I will take my family and if you try to threaten or stop me again and do your dirty tricks, I swear, I will surely end my life in front of you." I swallowed several times as she threatened me of ending herself but I won't let her, never, even I have the ability to take her back, I don't think I can handle her warning.

She turned her back and walked away from me but I will not let her. I quickly took a few long strides and grabbed her arm, she resisted but I carried her on my shoulders and forcefully pushed her inside the car. I quickly gesture the driver to start the car back to the mansion.

"Stop," I told her when she keeps on fighting me, holding her both wrists.

"No! Why don't you just follow Ariane and your baby, and leave me alone!" She hissed.

"Please Hope, just stop." I calmly said to her which she finally did but started crying again.

I pulled her closer to my body, bracing her,

"How could you do this to me? You always said you love me and I trusted you, you make me believe your lies. I hate you." She whispered against my chest while I caressed her hair and back.

I can't find the words to explain everything to her because she's right, I always told her that I love her and will wait for her but I got myself a mistress and even got her pregnant. I sighed.

While on the road back to the mansion, Hope feels exhausted from excessive crying and falls asleep in my arms. I can't compose my next move in my head because I was filled with Hope's memory flashing in front of my brain. The memories when she tried to accept our relationship and did everything to be a good wife to me but I only ruined it when Nicolo came into our lives. He made me furious, he made my hidden beast rise every time I see him with my wife and that causes me to hurt her, because of my nonsense grudge towards my wife that he made me feel, but why?

A few moments later we finally arrived at the mansion, I carried Hope in my arms and before I could get to the stairs uncle Ruben welcomed me, he was sitting in the living room and got up when he saw me enter.

"Emir, what is this? You canceled the meeting just to fetch your wife from somewhere?" He started.

"That's a big client that could bring us a triple profit for the company for this quarter but you only ruined it because of this?" He is starting to get on my nerves, really.

"Does Hope have the same value as that client can offer? I don't think so," he huffed unbelievably while I felt my wife moved in my arms, still with closed eyes.

"Stop it uncle, don't you dare say those words again to my wife," I warned him with a still calm manner and started walking past him straight to the stairs to bring Hope into my bedroom.

"Or else what? I'm just telling the truth here. Look at her, she is living like a queen in this huge mansion even without working for it. You treated her like a spoiled brat that is why she is misbehaving and forgot to know her place anymore." He keep on ranting from behind,

"Alfred, please show my beloved uncle his way out," I ordered.

"You'll regret this Emir!" I heard him shout but I don't care about him or anything, I only care and want to think about, is my wife.

I laid my Hope on the bed slowly and I sat on the edge beside her taking off her flat shoes. I gently massage her soft feet like a baby's before I cover her body with the warm duvet.

Suddenly, Karen knocked at my door.

"Sir, do you want me to serve your dinner?" She asked,

"No, just leave."

I laid on my side beside my wife while staring at her beautiful face,

"You really look like her," I whispered,

"I will never leave you like what my father did to her," I swore to her.

"I love you my wife," I whispered and closed my eyes before my eyes could shed tears.

I didn't realize how long I've been asleep but when I opened my eyes my angel wasn't around anymore. I sat up and closed my eyes taking a deep breath before I walked out of my room.

I walk straight to the balcony, the sky is still dark and I see some of my security is succumbed to a deep slumber, while the others stay active roaming around just like Alfred, he's like a monster.

He doesn't have any family left after their house is burnt down, he stayed silent after that and never saw him smile since then. I never realized his presence before because I have Henry, but not until I learn his betrayal.

I went back to my room and receive a call from John,

"Yes brother?"

"Emir, Hope wants to take us away, why? Did you guys have another misunderstanding again? I thought you're good when she followed you back to your mansion?" He asked continuously.

"John it's okay, your sister knows what's better for you, don't worry. I'll take her back again later." I told him,

"What do you mean?"

"Just trust me, okay?" With that I ended the call, now I know that Hope managed to escape from here, but I don't worry really because I am taking her back to me later, but for now I just let myself kick around while planning for my next move.
