Cruel World novel Chapter 3

Present

Sarah

She groaned  when she felt cold water on her face, she flinched suddenly and open her eye immediately which was a bad idea as she saw her angry husband holding a cup  and glaring at her ...she started breathing heavily and start praying he won't hit her because she is already so sore and her body is covered with fresh bruises from yesterday treatment ...

'good morning wifey...so you have decided to open your eyes ...you know when I woke up I need fresh coffee on my table with my clothes ready but none of it done yet ' he yelled at her

She gets up from the thin mattress from the floor, which has been her bed from a year and winced because of the sore back...'Im sorry, I..I didn't know I slept late...I will do it now just give me five minutes ok'

He glared at her and coldly said 'you know how much I hate laziness and delay in my work...I have made some things clear to you from time to time, fucking listen to me for once otherwise you will see the consequences '

I'm so ..so sorry I think I was so tired last night so might have overslept' she said in a soft voice

'and now you are making complaints about it' he sarcastically said

She shakes her head n said 'no th...sir you are just twisting my words'

Then she felt the slap on her face 'how fucking dare you to reply me back you bitch and lower your grace I can't see those ugly eyes first in the morning...go make breakfast for everyone I will have my coffee in the dining table with my family'

She just shakes and tears were in her eyes and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone..who like Theo also hate her...in everyone include Theo's mother Roma who always looked down at her and say cruel things to her, then his brother Thomas aka Tom and his wife Lisa, both see her through suspicious eyes , they lived in the different wings of this big house but sometime used dining table for dinner and frequently for breakfasts..... She never knows the reason behind of their hate she always tried to find out but it backfires it her...but all she knows it has to do something about her older brother Simon who died in a car accident but still what it has to do with her she never know. The only person in the family who regard her is Theo's father Mr. Theodore Grey senior, he is always out of the country but once in a month he do come to meet his family ... He looks like Theo but his kind eyes always regard her like she is a human.

she doesn't know how long she was thinking when she  heard Mrs. Brickson voice 'my child...what are you staring at come on leave it I will do the rest you eat something before another order came for you' she said to her in her kind voice...she is the only person in the house who truly care for Sarah, when Sarah cry she gives her shoulder to her and comfort her...when Sarah is covered in bruises and blood she put bandage at her wounds ...when her own parents show their back on her she always silently stand for Sarah.

Sarah gives her a shaky smile ' I can't right now, I overslept and I'm late to do morning chores so If I eat now everyone will become angry '

She looked at her with so much love and Sarah saw tears in her eyes ' My child ... I wish I can do something for you...of course you overslept they way these people make you do all the work of this huge house more than us it breaks me ( she touched Sarah cheek which was turning into dark red because of Theo morning whiplash) I always wanted to tell Mr grey senior how you are treated here, how Mr grey junior is violent towards you, he is a good man he will help you, Sarah,'

Sarah shakes her head and said 'no need even he doesn't know about the things here, still he will support his son not me..and it will create more problem for me so I'm touched you are here for me  that's more than enough'

Then she heard voices in the dining room and she prays that today noting get wrong for her as it is already ... She tells the butler to take the cooked breakfast she is bringing other stuff... when she enter the dining room she saw every one was laughing about something but when they saw her they stop laughing and looked her with hate

Roma (Theo mother) said' Where's my morning tea and medicine"
