Chris's POV The next day after going about my morning routine,I wanted to go hunting but I remembered Hannah would be coming over with the lady so I stayed. In the afternoon a case was brought to me ,a slave tried to escape ,I told them to whip him 20 times for being stupid and throw him into the dungeon. I know I am ruthless , that's not my business. Hannah arrived in the afternoon with the said Lady. I was sitting in the garden as they approached. I glanced over to them and Hannah smiled. The lady is gorgeous, but beauty isn't what I am looking for. She walked with elegance as well as arrogance, I liked such ladies that carried themselves with pride but I won't say that out loud. They got me where I was."Greetings master, my name is Anastasia," the Lady said. I nodded and Hannah gave me a disapproving look ,she was expecting me to reply."Hi C" Hannah said. I rolled my eyes. Must she be so childish? "Sit " I said. She thanked me and they both sat. I too
._____________We don't choose who we fall in love with,nature does it for us_________Ezra's POVWhen lady Hannah brought ladies to the house,I was upset and acted unlike myself. It seemed like the master was searching for a wife,that's what the maids said and that made me really sad . Among all the ladies that came, the only one I liked was Twinkle. She was so free with everyone but she didn't know how to cook,so I guess that was her only problem since the master needs a wife who can cook . She even talked to the maids.I liked her but I didn't like her presence in the mansion. It reminded me that the master wanted a wife. I don't like it when they come over. I feel jealous and angry, dare I say. Why should I be feeling jealous when there's nothing going on between me and the master? My reactions baffled me and left me confused. The master ignores me now ,he seems to enjoy their presence very much,as he paid no attention to what was going on around him. Everyone was surprised
Ezra's POV I heard footsteps and I opened my heavy eyes.I had managed to fall asleep despite the pain,the medicine Fred gave me helped a lot. The guard opened the door ."Stand up " he commanded . As if I could do that in my present situation. He walked towards me and dragged my hair."Let go, " I said. He ignored me and dragged me out. I was dragged to the compound and I sat on the floor. What is the meaning of this? The compound is where everyone passes by ,the maids and guards ,does the master want to humiliate me. " Bring the sign, " a guard said. A sign was bought and he showed it to me . "Tried to seduce the Master " was boldly written on it. The guard smirked." You are a pretty one, why do that?" He asked as he placed the sign in front of me."No one is to assist her," the guard said to his companion. I sat in the middle of the compound with a sign that said that I tried to seduce the master in front of me,what other humiliation could I possibly go th
___love makes us do crazy things ___ Chris's POV It's been a week since the incident with Ezra,I don't know what I was thinking and I certainly don't know what willed me to push her away. I was drunk was the only excuse I had. Why would she do that? She knew very well I would punish her or she thought that I would reciprocate . If I was sober it wouldn't have happened, I needed someone to keep me company but she went and ruined it. I didn't want anyone near me but strangely I wanted her company, what's wrong with me. Well I guess she learned her lesson. The masters are going to have a gathering in my mansion tomorrow. I was looking forward to it but ,each time a gathering was to be held,a master was selected to be the host. If anything goes wrong I am to blame. I called Nora(the head maid) and gave her instructions to be strict and choose only the trusted ones. Ezra should be among them but given that I heard she lost a lot of blood and was recovering, I guess
Chris POV I held Ezra's lifeless body ,she weighed nothing in my arms. What have I done to her? All she does is try to console and protect me despite all I have done to her. To think that George would want to kill me in my mansion even after I let everything go,I let everything go because of our past relationship but he still wants to kill me. I saw as George's guards stood and protected him,he planned the whole thing already,Stephen was beside him staring at the scene in shock. The healer took Ezra from my arms. She was bleeding profusely. "George!!" I roared. I know a fight might break out soon."Stop " I told my guards. "George, what's the meaning of this?" Master Felix asked angrily.George said nothing as his guards were trying to secure him. "I forgave you even when I found out you had a hand in the death of my family. Now you want to kill me to cover it up and end my father's bloodline!" I shouted at him. The commotion died down at my words. The masters looked
Chris's POV The next day my body was too weak to get out of bed,Hannah came visiting I was told,I went to meet her. Hannah embraced me happily,she requested to see Ezra when I narrated what happened to her ,she was led to the healers ,she thanked her. Hannah was scared for me ,I won't blame her, how can't I be safe in my own house."How can master George do this to you ?" She asked. I have no reply . After staying with me for a while She left in the afternoon. The masters expected that George called for a meeting at Henry's house. I attended ,we talked on how to handle this matter,if we put our forces together taking George down would be easy so we all agreed and the preparations began. George was sent a letter to resign as a master since he committed such an unforgivable act. He was given a week to resign and pay for compensation, he can't be killed but resigning and paying 100,000 gold was his fine and giving the masters two lands each was his fine for the commotion
Ezra's POV__if you let me hold your hands one more time,I won't do anything hurt you and I won't dare let you go,I will cherish you and hold you close to my heart,how true are those words__ Lady Hannah visited and thanked me for my kindness."You are one in a kind," she smiled. I was not happy but I forced a smile ,she told me that I could request for anything and I told her I didn't want anything. The master summoned me the next day to his room ,when I came in he asked me to sit and I refused."Sit, " he said again. I sat and we were staring at each other."I owe you and apologize," he said."Wait, don't apologize," I said."Why?" He asked, confused."There's no need, you did nothing wrong. I was just stupid and didn't see clearly,there is no need to thank me as well I did what anybody would do" I said."Not everyone would do that," he said."Let's not waste our strength, I just need you to let me rest ." I said."Go where ?" He asked."You asked me the first tone when I s
Chris POV"Then let's go together and I am sure that Evan would be happy to see her and we will buy a gift on the way," Hannah said."I don't think that's a good idea" I said."She will feel uncomfortable around you ,and I can say I came to thank her for saving you and you can get her a gift as well to put her at ease since there will be people there,you don't think she has just forgotten how you punished her ,so we all should go together,then if you want to go see alone that's up to you" Hannah said. Her suggestion made sense."OK" I said."But about master George it's so hard to believe, '' she said."I know I didn't want to believe it either but.. let's just not talk about it" I said and she agreed."Are you okay?" She asked worriedly. "I...i just don't know" I said sincerely. We called her friend ,whose name I learned was Gloria as she followed us. She took food stuff with her as instructed by Hannah ,so we went to a jewelry shop first. The young ladies there saw me and were
Ezra's POV After two days the preparation of the wedding began,it was happening in the mansion since this was the only home Fred had. Gloria looked so gorgeous in her wedding gown ,I was so happy for her. After they said their vows and kissed the bride it ended with cheers and clapping. The reception began,eating and drinking. The master left after the wedding ended so I went to look for him after congratulating the newlywed couple. He was in his room ,there was another guard posted at his door. I came in after my presence was announced. When I came in I saw him standing by the window looking out and staring at the reception happening,his hands behind his back."Am here let's talk""There is nothing to talk about"" What about us?" I said as I walked closer to him. "Is there still an us?" He asked. That made me stop in my tracks . "There is still an us" I said as I continued walking towards him. "Is that so ""Stop being so difficult " I said as I got to where he was and
Queen Sandra POV "Why are we even here ,I tired of this conversation I think I should go rest" I said "Running away""i am not"" Sandra I see no need trying to hide that even suggesting that I marry another wife hurts you ...besides I still love the crazy woman I married " he said. " Crazy woman? Am really sorry I didn't mean to hurt you " I apologized. All I did was just hurt him and I claim I love him, isn't love about being selfless. "Its fine"" Where do we start from?" I asked. We made so many mistakes in the past that I don't even know where to start from any more. "Hi, I'm Grey," he smiled. "Hi I'm Sandra, it's a pleasure to meet you" I smiled back at him as I responded. "likewise Sandra ....your beauty enchanted me " he said. "Stop being silly Grey '' I chuckled. He smiled as well,making me remember the first time we met all over again. " I love you Sandra " "I love you Grey" It was really nice being with him. We resolved our issues knowing that could happen ,I
Ezra's POV: "I have no quarrel with you," I said. "But we do ....let's stop the pretense ,you hate me and I hate you" "I never said I hated you," I replied. "You don't have to say it out loud dear I know very well" she replied. What does she even know about me that makes her open her mouth to say such words. "We are different and I am not like you. I don't hate you ,I just find it strange that a monster in disguise is my father's wife," I said. Her face hardened,my dad was always her weak spot. "Really a monster? Me? I have been called the worst but thank you I will take it as a compliment" she replied. She's definitely crazy now, I am sure of it. "Why am I here?" I asked. "I wanted to talk to you in person with no interference and make you understand a few things," she said. "Am all ears" "I got married to your father when I was 18. We were both young and he fell in love. I was advised not to fall in love but here I am, " she sighed. Why is she telling me this story?
Queen Sandra POV;Ezra is really going to cause trouble for me ,so I went back to my room and freshened up. What am I going to do to that girl? If I let her wander around the kingdom freely I will be made into a laughing stock. I think I have an idea.I smiled happily as I closed my eyes and fell asleep.Joseph POV(the second Prince): Ezra coming to the palace liven it. Mum has been on edge ever since she appeared. Am not saying that I am happy at my mum's sadness but I guess she was the one that brought it upon herself. She really made a lot of mistakes. Her relationship with my dad was never good so this broke it even more. They always pretend around us but I can read through it. Am an easy going guy so I don't have problems with anyone. Mum made Philip hate me in the past. I don't know what type of mother does that. __________flashback___________ Mum was scolding Philip for failing his exams again. 13 years old me was just trying to read my book in peace but she won't
Ezra's POV He must be a higher class if he was there did the Queen send him. "I haven't introduced myself, my name is Kelvin," he said. "Nice to meet you, I must be on my way, " I said. "Can I accompany you, my Lady?" he asked. "The guards are doing that so I apologize," I said. "Of course my lady it was a pleasure meeting you" he bowed and left. Their whole bowing stuff was still weird to me. "Who was that?" I asked the guards as I began my walk. "He's a scholar in the palace,a war strategists" the guard replied. "Oh thank you" I said. Why was he even talking to me? I felt as if he was waiting for me to come ,did he know I was here?It's probably just a coincidence. I continued walking around the palace,I didn't have anything to do so I was bored. I miss the mansions and Gloria and the slaves.... Wait, does dad have any slaves? I stopped in my tracks. "Where are the slaves ?" I asked the guards and they didn't reply. I turned to look at
Beauty's POV"We will get along when our parents do," I said." Beauty invites Caleb over when you two are ready, " he said."You didn't answer my previous question" I said."It wasn't a question, it was a sentence....we can't get along when your mum still sees nothing wrong in what she did," he replied."But you are at fault as well" I said."I know but I admit it ,just go am tired don't worry we won't be breaking up" he said."But you are already broken up," I said and left . I went to meet Ezra in her room,she was reading a book in her bed when I arrived. She smiled happily at me when I told her I got back together with Caleb, she was happy for me,I thanked her for her words."My mum, please forgive her ,because my dad means the whole word to her and you are trying to tear them apart" I said."I am not trying to tear them apart ,their relationship was already torn, its holes are being seen now,she doesn't want to admit she was wrong, how can I forgive her?" Ezra said. "Well I j
Beauty's POV Why was I talking to her when she's trying to ruin my family?"What's your game?" I asked."I have no quarrel with you,you are my sister after all can't we talk" she said ."He is my ex husband," I said."Ex ...I wasn't aware you were married before" she says."You didn't ask," I replied."You still love him," she said."Veronica, you can leave, we will see later," I said. Veronica left after bidding farewell."Yes I still do ,do you want to chase after him to get me upset,and see how crazy I am" I said."I won't do such a thing,I just want to help who knows, maybe it can make us get along," she smiled."How can you help me?" I asked.."First, why did you get divorced?" She asked. If I didn't tell her she could ask father and he would certainly tell her, there was no need to hide it."I aborted his child" I said."Why did you do such an evil act on your husband?" She asked. Funny enough he asked Me the same question."It's my body,so...don't judge me" I replied."If
Beauty POV"Hello Caleb" I greeted."Good afternoon my princess, " he greeted me. That didn't sound right in his mouth. I loved it when he called my name. The lady with him greeted me as well." I see you have company,Who is this?" I asked . I shouldn't be asking but I wanted to know."She's my cousin ,she came to visit," Caleb replied. His cousin there is nothing to worry about."Oh nice to meet you" I said."Likewise......I heard about your beauty but I didn't believe it,your name is well deserved " his cousin said. I smiled happily and thanked her ,Caleb was drinking his wine not paying attention to me."We should have lunch sometime Caleb" I said. Everything starts somewhere right?"I'm sorry but I have to decline. I can't trouble my princess and I have a son at home to take care of," he said."Caleb," his cousin called. I expected such an answer"It's fine I will take my leave" I said and left. I still loved him. I just wanted him to come get me himself. Is that too muc
King Grey's POV: The next day I woke up ,I exhaled today, I just wanted to skip it. I took a bath and wore my robe and after breakfast I went to meet the counsel. We all sat and the prince was there ,the princess and Ezra were there as well ,I saw how beauty glared at Ezra and she was unaffected by it. The Queen was brought in shortly, and she greeted us. I stared at this woman and I just didn't know what I felt for her anymore, love doesn't just die overnight . The questioning began." Did you send the assassin to cause commotion yesterday? " I asked." I did," she replied. She wasn't even trying to defend herself." What will you say in your defense? " I asked."Should I sit still and watch a mistress child get crowned,I will be ridiculed my Lord and called a woman who can't keep her husband, " she replied."Will you accept any punishment?" I asked."Why should I get punished my lord ,when you bought this on yourself? " she said." I did?" I chuckled. "What punishment would
