Ezra's POV: It's been a week since the party. The maids were jealous of my beauty,I was always pretty but I didn't know I was this pretty,Gloria told me so,why were they jealous,when they were the ones that always called me ugly. Gina shouted on top of her voice when she saw me,the other slaves were surprised and happy as well,I changed totally and I know I changed for good,I was happy with the way I was being more noticed now. Gloria was teaching me how to cook. Cooking is the main thing a Lady should know. Delicious food keeps your man at home, that's what she said to me." Move " A maid said and shoved me. "Watch it Naomi,we are in the kitchen. Do you want her to get hurt?" Gloria shouted at Naomi. "That's none of your business Gloria,what are you, her mum?" she sneered at her. Why did she have to bring my mum into a conversation that doesn't concern her. "Why are you bringing my mum into this?" I asked. "Oh so you can talk back at me ?" Naomi asked me a
Chris POV:She froze when I told her to stop. The nerve of this girl. "Kneel" I said and she did that immediately. I took a history book. It has a lot of layers and I walked towards her."Raise your hands" I told her,she did and I placed the heavy book on her arms."Hold that well if it Falls before I tell you to drop it you will be whipped" I said and I saw her shiver. I went to the table and ate my breakfast. I asked Fred to call a maid to clean up.A maid came in and greeted me. When she saw Ezra kneeling she smiled and took the tray and left,does she grave enemies already when she hasn't stayed here for that long. Well that's not my business,she's a maid and am a master. It's not my concern. I have other pressing issues,I sighed as I stared at the paperwork in front of me ,why do I have to do this? I don't like doing it but I had no choice in it so I started my paperwork. This is going to be a long day ,doing paperwork was so stressful to me.**Ezra's POV :I remain
Ezra's POV:After the day's work,we were paid because it was a new month.I was so happy that I got my pay. Having money in my hand made me happy. I have been paid for six months,but I have never left the house before,since the maids are always busy and no one was allowed to leave the mansion unless the head maid allowed it,and getting permission from her was something no one has ever achieved. Gloria gave me her dress to wear so that I could follow her to the market to get some stuff for her family. I was more than glad to go with her.Half of the maids were given a week off,the first set of maids had already gone for their vacation so it was our turn. The shirtdress was short,but it gave me the look I wanted. It looked lovely on me; it was as if the dress was meant for me. I stared at myself in the mirror in disbelief. Am I staring at someone else or was this really me? I looked....Beautiful. " Wow Ezra you have a killer shape it looks so... lovely on you" Glor
Ezra's POV :After walking for about an hour under the sun. Gloria and I came to a stop at a clothing store,she said it was where she bought the dress I was wearing,and they sold beautiful dresses at cheaper prices. "How did you come across here?" I asked her. "I used to help out the owner," she replied. Dresses were displayed,some girls were making their choice. They looked beautiful.I walked around the small shop with Gloria. She greeted the owner of the shop and introduced me as her friend, then she proceeded to buy some clothes for kids. I saw a dress that caught my eyes. I was lost in the dress's beauty. Someone walked closer to me. "That's an empire dress,you have good eyes." She complimented."Empire?"I inquired curiously.I touched the fabric." How much?" I inquired further."5 silver," she replied."5?" I was paid 10 silver per month and I have saved 60 silver in total."It's expensive, " Gloria said. It's really expensive but I like the dress,I ha
Ezra's POV : After our vacation work began as usual. Young master Stephen came over frequently,and he has put it upon himself to bother me each time.I don't know what he sees in me that makes him do that. He flirts with other maids as well so I was not an exception,I am sure he knows all the maids in the mansion because they talk about him a lot ,he's probably seeing some of them. I don't know if it's just a guess. He came to the mansion one day looking angry and the master wasn't around. When the maids greeted him he didn't reply which was strange,because he always answered the maids greeting and took his time to ask each and everyone of them questions about their day and compliment them. He's a well known flirt so I found it strange. Master Stephen never gets angry. A guard called me and said master Stephen asked me to bring him tea in an upstairs room, he stays there when he sleeps over. Why does he want me to bring him tea? He favors others as well. T
Ezra's POV; Even after resting for a week I still felt so weak,getting punished for defending myself against a flirt. I won't say that aloud duo, the first day we met I saw the way he looked displeased but now he suddenly has an interest in me because I'm pretty now that's why I always refused to bathe. How can he punish me when all I did was to defend myself from him? He's such a flirt that I don't know what crosses his mind at times. Master Stephen I didn't really know he was this bad. How can he do something like this to me? All I did was tell him to leave me alone and he didn't listen. Was it my fault that I tried to defend myself? I was so angry at him because I was in so much pain. The master allowed him to punish me even after knowing what happened.I felt betrayed.Did my master Chris permit him to punish me, because Stephen's father is a Master? This life isn't balanced one bit, how can a victim be the one that's punished just because i'm a maid. The medica
Ezra's POV:Stephen had stopped bothering me entirely after what happened, he's such a shameless man, he doesn't come over as he used to and I was happy about that. My turn came again to serve the master again and this time he was in the library. I took the tray and went to the library. The guards opened the door for me and I stepped in. The master wasn't in sight. I set the tray down on his table.I wonder why every corner of the house has an eating table. I was about to leave but then I remembered I haven't read a book for two years, my mum taught me how to read and write,dad helped in teaching me as well. It was always fun when he was around and I really miss him. " Think with your heart and not your brain," he always said. I don't understand the meaning of that sentence till today,or was he just saying words at random. I know it is risky trying to take a book but what's the harm in taking a book? I wonder if the master was in,but where is he?. I went to one
Ezra's POV:I ran at full speed and stopped at the door ,Fred looked at me."I want to see the master," I said a little out of breath."Does this look like a child's playground?" Fred said."Please, it's important," I said." Be ready to bear any consequences "he said and went into the library." Master Ezra wants to see you," Fred said to the master. Naomi's face turned sour."Let her in, " Chris said to Fred. Fred let me in. Chris looked at the book in Ezra's hands."What happened? " he asked her."Master…" Chris glared at Naomi who was trying to interrupt Ezra and Naomi shut her mouth." Master I was heading to my room to keep the book when she suddenly called me a thief before I told her I wasn't and she dragged the book from my hand in the process the book tore and she said she would report me to you and she ran and came here"I said . Chris kept quiet for a while, probably contemplating what to do. "Fred, " he called. Fred came in."Take this maid and whip her 10 times for
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
