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.

**Dear life, please be gentle with me** Ezra POV"Move it," The guard shouted. We all had chains on our hands and legs as we walked,the chains were heavy but the guards paid no mind to it. The guard whipped the person in front of me."Move it you fool" he shouted angrily and whipped the man again. The man fell to the ground and the guard kicked him and he groaned. "Stand up or you will be punished!" The guard ordered."I am tired." The man said weakly, which made the guard more angry and he kicked him again."What's the hold up Luke? " asked another guard."The fool says he's tired." He replied."Please water,"The injured slave said."Is that so?" Luke said ,as he drew his sword and struck the man he died. Everyone gasped in fear. I stepped back involuntarily and fell. "Are you also tired?" Luke asked me. I shook my head."Then get up, " he shouted . I stood up immediately and my legs were shaking. Some men removed the chains of the deceased man and threw his body aside. T
Chris POV:When we got to the mansion. "Bring the girl" I ordered and she was bought in front of me. Her eyes were glued to the floor. She looked too dirty and tattered."Of what use will you be to me?" I asked."I work in the farm ,barn or stables anywhere, master." she replied. Hump."That's the type of life you live and you still want it?" I asked "I.....didn't choose it but I won't run away from it, I just.... I don't want to die" she answered. She was trying to be brave but her hands and legs were shaking.I like her spirit,she reminds me of my younger self but I won't tell her that ."Take her to the stables." I ordered."Yes master." "Thank you master" she said and exhaled. I went into the mansion while she was taken away.**Ezra POV: The guard showed me where the other slaves were,so I went in and sat down. "Hello, I am Gina." A girl walked up to me and sat beside me."I am Ezra." I introduced myself." Nice to meet you, Ezra," she smiled."Do we sleep here?"I ask
A week later.Ezra's POV: I got called to the master's study. Fred and I came in, and the master was busy with paperwork." Master, she is here," Fred said."You can do what I asked you to do," the master said to Fred. Fred bought out a key and came close to me and unlocked the chain around my neck. I was speechless with the chain removed, which means I was no longer a slave."You will become a servant from now on and you shall be paid,you have your freedom back,if you wish to you provisions will be made for you the kid you said is the only heir of his family." Master Chris said as he flipped through the papier work,he wasn't looking at me. Silence filled the room ,because I was speechless. He finally looked at me ."Are you not satisfied with it?" he asked."I...I am just speechless thank you Master." I stammered."Hmm"was his only reply to me."Ask the head maid to tutor her on how to behave, you can leave." Master Chris said . Fred took me to the head maid ."She is the ne
Ezra's POV:Gloria taught me how to clean the mansion,and how to act in the mansion and in the evening I went to see Gina and the rest of the slaves they were happy for me that I was no longer a slave and after spending a lot of time with them I retired to bed,I was so tired but I was happy as well I hope things get better for me,I want a bright future one that is full of happiness and no pain or sadness or death ,I just wanted to be happy ,I guess this is a good start. For two weeks Gloria taught me how to clean the mansion. I was a quick learner and so I got better at it that I didn't need assistance anymore and I did it alone.I was proud of myself for being this quick in grasping all she taught me. Gloria has been so helpful to me since I met her. She is also sweet and kind, unlike some people I have had an encounter with. She doesn't judge and treats me with respect. She taught me so well that I learned everything fast,she paid attention to every detail and corrected me nicely
Chris's POV(The master) :I was reading a book in the dinning,waiting for breakfast while Stephen, my best friend, talked non stop. He is a parrot, I am not surprised, he talks more than a woman. I wonder why he left his home so early in the morning to come and bother me.I don't know what I did to him. I am sure his house is as comfortable as here,or he might be running away from his father. He must have gotten into trouble again for his ways. The only thing he has been talking about is women and I was tempted to call Fred and tell him to show him the way out. He's stressing me out this morning with stories about his adventures with women that I don't want to hear about. I told him to stop but he refused and continued talking. The doors opened and three maids walked in trays in their hands bringing breakfast. Thank goodness at least he will shut up now. He always likes to look good and well reserved in front of women but when he's with me ,he opens his m
Ezra's POV: Working and making a living staying here is the best option for now and I have Gina and Gloria and the rest of the slaves nothing can go wrong at this point. I just wanted to stay here. I have made friends already. The connection I had with the slaves is not one that I want to let go of so easily,they reminded me of my family. Our bond was what kept us together despite everything ,and seeing that bond here made me get attached. I was told the master doesn't take bed mates and he doesn't give out any if His slaves or servants, that calmed me down so I am on a safe side. I will make him speechless the next time he sees me.*** A week later the master and some soldiers left for war over a boundary issue. The mansion was filled with life. I was told that whenever the master left everyone would suddenly become livelier. Did they hate his presence? They returned two weeks later victorious. There was a celebration as he had chased the bandits away and k
Chris's POV: Our eyes met and she looked away. Why was she staring at me in the first place? This girl doesn't listen one bit,she's trying to give me an excuse to punish her which I will gladly do. Should I punish her?What evidence do I have that she was actually looking at me? Do I now need evidence to punish someone? What am I even thinking about? The only thing in my mind is how to punish people, I really have a problem. "She looks beautiful chris'' Stephen said. As if he was the only one seeing her. Everyone looks lovely and beautiful to Stephen. I won't be surprised if he tells me he's marrying a pimp one day because he likes them a lot ."Who?'' I asked . "That maid??" he said and pointed at her. He is saying Ezra is beautiful ,but he didn't see her beauty when she was dirty and ugly, am sure he was disgusted but now she's pretty ,men are unbelievable. Sometimes a pretty face is the only thing they look at when looking at a woman."Oh "I replied."Is

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

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.

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
