Tara's POVI knelt in front of my dad with tears circulated in my eyes. He stared at me with shock all over his face."What are you doing Tara? Are you going to let him be happy with her? Aren't you supposed to tell me to shoot him dead alongside his stupid spouse?" My Father yelled at me, and I burst into tears."As much as I want them dead for what they are doing to me, I still don't want Xavier to die. You can shoot the stupid girl, and let Xavier live" I begged."If you have to kill Madison, then you'll have to kill me first. There's no way I'll let you hurt Madison" Xavier spoke with finality in the tone of his voice."Aren't you afraid of dying? You should be happy that I'm pleading to my father on your behalf, and here you are thinking of a mere slave" I glared at him with fierce eyes."Don't you understand me Tara? I don't have any feelings for you. You've known this a long time ago, but you've decided to keep deceiving yourself into believing that I will love you one day. I d
Madison's POVI laid on the bed still shivering in fear. The thought that I almost died made me feel so uncomfortable."Shouldn't I have gone back to the castle with Master stone? What if Tara's father had shot me? What would have been of me?" I thought, and shook my head.I dragged the duvet to my chest still staring around the room. Even though I live like a princess here, I still don't find this place comfortable, and I don't also consider it home no matter how respected I am here.Then I thought of Zara, a part of me felt so bad for her. Who knows how she's faring? She's probably not okay, or maybe she's doing fine.I was still lost in thoughts when I heard a faint knock on the door. I jerked up from the bed, and yanked the duvet off my body. Could it be from Master Xavier? Does he finally want to do it with me?Walking to the door, I couldn't help but shiver. I summoned courage, and opened the door wide. To my greatest surprise, it was scorpion, Master Xavier's guard."Uhm… how m
Madison's POVI've never been so surprised in my life until today. Staring at him, my jaw dropped in shock. He wasn't even going to stand, he was still on his knees staring directly at my face."What…what are you doing, Master? I really don't understand you, maybe you're making a mistake. I mean, you can't possibly ask me to be your wife. Furthermore, I'm just a slave. Likewise, I appreciate the fact that you treat me so well, but I can't bring myself to believe that you are actually going to ask me to marry you" I scoffed, still in shock."This is no joke Madison. I mean every single word I'm saying, and I really want you to be my wife. If you agree to marry me, just have it at the back of your mind you are free from slavery. No one would dare treat you like a slave again" He assured me. I stood staring at him with confusion written all over my face."Master, I really don't know what to say. I just want to know why? Why would you choose me? Of all the women you've met, why am I the p
Xavier's POVI put on my robe with smiles all over my face. Today is D-Day, and I'll be getting married to Madison today. After such a long time, she's finally going to be mine.The door of my chambers was opened violently, Derek and Karl walked in staring at me stunned."What exactly are you trying to do, Xavier? Have you forgotten who's slave Madison is?" Derek banged his fist on the table."Is that what both of you came to do here? Honestly, I'm totally disappointed in you both. Why are you getting paranoid over nothing?" I scoffed, and they exchanged glances at each other."Are you trying to tell me you think you're doing the right thing? She is his f****** slave, and you have no damn right. No right to take her as your wife without the permission of her master, and what's so special about that slave anyway?" Karl added, and I rolled my eyes"You're not meant to see how special she is, probably because you are both blinded by lust. I don't care what you guys think, and I'm not cha
Lucien's POVI walked straight down the hallway leading to Xavier's chambers. Even if the guards were trying to calm me down seeing how furious I looked, I still didn't care.I kicked the door open, and walked in. He was already dressed in his wedding attire, and that increased my annoyance."Hello Lucien! I'm glad you were able to make it to my wedding, and on time" He smiled, I glared at him furiously."What's supposed to be the meaning of this, Xavier?" I growled at him, and he smiled calmly."You're my cousin, Stone. I don't expect you to ruin my happiest day, at least for the fact that we share the same blood" He said daringly, and I felt my pride was hurting."Are you crazy? Seems like you have something going on in your head? Have you forgotten that your so-called bride is mine?" I grasped his collar, and he struggled to free himself from my grip."What are you doing, Stone? The guards and servants are watching" He whispered, and I let go of him forcefully making him land his b
Stone's POVI shot the gun into the air twice, and the gate of the Xeus's mansion was thrown open. Without hesitation, I stepped into the mansion fearlessly, with the gun hung on my shoulder."You can't come in without permission from the superior Lord Xeus" One of the guards tried to stop me, and I shot his leg. He groaned in pain lying on the ground."This will serve as a lesson to any of you who will try to stop me" I glared at the guards. The entrance door was flung open, and Lord Xeus walked out. He was smoking a pipe. Smoke emanated his nostrils and mouth, and he grinned at me."What a surprising visit, Stone! When was the last time I set my eyes on you?" He laughed sarcasm, and I rolled my eyes."It's quite unfortunate that this isn't anything close to a peaceful visit, you know how much I hate getting into trouble with people. I've never stepped foot into your mansion to cause war or trouble, but it's quite unbelievable that I'm here today because you have decided to incur my
Xavier's POVMy eyes widened in shock as the ship exploded right in front of me. Madison and Stone are inside the ship, and it just exploded.Tears circulated in my eyes, and rolled down my cheeks. I've never been this soft until today."Master Stone?" Axel covered his mouth with his palms in shock. He helped me up, and I staggered backwards. I felt so empty, and weakness was all I could feel."Someone, help my daughter. Go ahead, get her out of the water" Lord Xeus summoned the guards.Few minutes later, Tara was helped out of the water. She rushed to me, and I pushed her off roughly."What do you want, Tara? Haven't you done enough? Isn't it enough that you just killed the woman that I've ever fallen in love with? From today onwards Tara, I don't want to have anything to do with you. I curse the day I met you" I yelled at her, and she burst into tears."Everything I do Xavier, I do them because I love you and because I don't want to lose you. Can't you see it? Can't you see how much
Tara's POVThe helicopter landed inside our large compound, and I grabbed my father's robe tightly. I didn't need anyone to tell me that I was already in trouble.Some men got out of the helicopter staring at father and I furiously. I was still holding unto my father's robe like my life depended on it."Are you trying to escape from us, Tara?" Axel, Stone's head guard glared at me. This is scary!"Escape? What… What nonsense are you talking about?" Father tried defending me, but ended up stammering."Hand her over to us, or we will be left with no choice but to take her from you by force" One of them snorted. I recognized him to be the guard with Stone earlier.Oh, God! How do I even escape from this? For the first time, I regretted my actions wishing that I didn't explode the ship when Stone was inside it."My daughter has nothing to do with what happened to Stone. Why do you want to take her away?" Father defended me."You think we don't know what happened? The battle line has been
Madison's POVMy mouth and hands were tied. Only my legs weren't, but I still couldn't stand on my feet. Tears kept running down my face, and my nose won't stop running either. My hair was so messy, and all over my face. I felt so miserable. The room where I was kept was so dark, and cold.Who could have kidnapped me? I haven't done anything wrong to anyone?The door was kicked open, and someone walked into the room. Fear gripped me, and I felt a sharp pain on my tummy."Hello, Madison. Long time no see" I heard a familiar voice, and immediately I recognized who it was."Bianca?" I called out with fear in the trace of my voice."You recognized me so quickly, huh? Well, I just want you to go back to where you belong. You and I know that you belong here, you shouldn't be dining with the master" She laughed hysterically."Bianca, for the sake of my child please let me go. This child is innocent, and I know that you know how it feels to be kept in such a position when you're pregnant. You
Lucien's POVI slowly opened my eyes, and felt a warm body touching mine. My lips curled in a smile because I knew it was Madison. I turned to her, and touched her baby bump softly. I could feel the baby kicking, and I kissed her forehead.“She's so cute while asleep” I giggled. I heard a knock on the door, and sat up immediately.I knew it was Axel because he's always the first to come into my room every morning.“Good morning, master” He greeted, and I nodded my head. His eyes widened immediately he saw Madison on my bed, but he bowed his head immediately.“Tell the cook that I'll be making breakfast for Madison myself today” I said as I sat on the armchair, and put on my glasses.“Master?” He raised his brow in shock.“I didn't know you've become deaf, Axel. I just informed you that I want you to let the cook know that I'll be coming to the kitchen to make breakfast for Madison by myself” I snorted, and he swallowed hard with a nod.“Okay. I understand you, Master” He bowed before
Bianca's POVAll I felt was anger and humiliation. Stone actually sent me out of the castle just because of that bi·ch, Madison. They might think that this is the end, but little did they know that this is the beginning.“Mom, are we leaving the castle already? I'm so happy” Marvin jumped for joy, and I scoffed.“If you weren't my son, I would have slapped you hard on the face. Are you stupid? Why are you so happy that we are leaving such a beautiful castle? I thought you've always wanted to be a prince?” I glared hard at him.“Yes Mom, I've always wanted to be a prince, but I want to be a prince who is loved by his parents. The man you called my father doesn't love me, he has a daughter whom he loves so much and treats like a princess” Marvin bowed his head.“And the only thing we can do is to fight for your right, Marvin. I can't believe you're giving up, why can't you act like your mother for once?” I held his hand.“Mom, let's just leave the Castle. I want to go back to the States
Madison's POVI walked into the well-furnished with my jaw dropped. To be honest, if anyone had told me that I would be given such a room in the castle, I would have accused the person of lying.“Mandy, congratulations” I heard a shrieking voice, and the door was thrown open. Of course, I wasn't surprised to see Mona. She's the only one who would shout anytime she sees me.“Mona, thank you so much” I held her hand, and she giggled. With a shrug, she patted my hair. “Who else would I help if not you, dear sister? I told you I won't let you die, and I kept my promise” “I was so scared. You know how slaves who get pregnant for the Master are being killed, right? I was surprised when the master said I was an exception. You don't know how scared I was” I gulped nervously.“Haven't you noticed? I think the master has a thing for you, and that's the reason he made you an exception” Mona lowered her voice, and giggled.“Rubbish! What are you saying? You're wrong, he only kept me alive becau
Maria's POVI gave out a shrieking yell immediately as I got into the room. Emery was in the pool of her blood. Furthermore, I was so scared that I had to cover my mouth with my palms.“What is going on?” Some guards rushed into the room on hearing the scream.“It's…. Emery. She's been stabbed” I pointed to her cold body. They rushed to her, and carried her out of the room.I was still sobbing as Emery's corpse was laid on the bamboo bed outside the castle. The Master walked out of the castle with an emotionless face.“What exactly happened to your mistress?” He asked with his face fixed on Emery's lifeless body.“I… I don't know, Master. I just got into the room, and found her in the pool of blood” I cried bitterly.“Do you know anyone who could have killed her? I mean, is there anyone who has issues with her, or someone who doesn't like her?” He raised a brow, and turned to me. I quickly bowed my head.“To be honest, I don't know anyone who would want her dead. I only know someone w
Lucien's POVMy eyes narrowed the moment I heard that voice. The Master's child? What does that mean?To everyone's greatest surprise, it was Mona, Madison's best friend and a slave.“Who do you think you are? What made you think you have a say here? Shut your pit, and don't say a word” Bianca glared hard at her.“Let her, Bianca. Let her speak. What are you talking about, Mona? What do you mean when you say that I have a child?” I arched my eyebrows. “Mona, you promised not to tell anyone. Please I'm ready to die even if it means dying with the secret” Madison cried out, and Mona shook her head in disagreement.“I wanted to agree with you, Madison. But I'm sorry I can't stand here and watch you get killed alongside your secret. I just want you to know that whatever I'm doing is for your own good” Mona replied to her. With a roar, I yelled at them; “Don't let me repeat myself. What are you talking about?”“Madison is pregnant, master. You're the one responsible for her pregnancy” Mo
Mona's POV“Get a hold of yourself, Madison. I understand how you feel, but I want to show you that I'll do whatever it takes to see that I prove your innocence" I cried out.“How… how are you going to do that, Madison?” Madison replied. She was already so tired.“I don't know Mandy, but I do know that I'm definitely going to help you out. You know how important you are to me, you're the only family that I know. I was able to pick up some points from Mateo. I'll make good use out of those points, and I'll make sure that you're brought out of here” I sniffed hard.“Promise me Mona… promise me that you won't tell anyone about what we just discussed. I don't want people to think that I'm using it to set myself free. If you ever let anyone know about this, I know it is good news, but I'm certainly going to get into more trouble” Madison stared at me blankly.“What if it is the only way to let you out of here? What if it is the only way to save you from death? I can't promise you anything,
Mona's POVTears rolled down my eyes as I stared at Mateo. He was wearing a grin on his face, and all I felt was bitterness.“Tell me, why are you doing this? What has she done to deserve this wickedness?” I cried out.“What wickedness? I didn't tell on her, even if we were enjoying each other's company. Are you surprised that she's been sleeping with me?” He laughed hysterically.“You can tell me any other thing, but I know my friend too well. She will never have anything to do with you, why are you lying against her? She has done absolutely nothing to you, is that how much you hate her?” I sobbed.“You think anything is going to save her? The master saw her with me. It's not like he was told, he saw with his own eyes. Why are you not believing something that the Master saw as well?” He narrowed his eyes.“Because no matter whatever they say, I know my friend. I know what she can do and what she can't do. I trust her so much, and there's no way I'll believe anyone else but her” I sna
Lucien's POVI lit the stick of cigarette that I placed in between my lips, and puffed the smoke.“Get out, Bianca”From my voice alone, you can dictate how hurt I was. All I felt was betrayal and sadness because I never expected such from Madison. If someone had told me that Madison would have done what I saw her doing, I would have cut the person's throat.“Lucien, let me keep you company” Bianca seductively said, as she grabbed the bedspread. She used it to cover herself because she was still n*ked.“Are you deaf? Or do you by any means have a death wish? Don't let me repeat myself, I'll have your arm cut off” I spoke in between gritted teeth.“No, I'll leave” She snapped, and rushed out of the room with the bedspread she wrapped around herself.Tears circulated in my eyes again, and I blinked them back. I trusted her, and now this. I would have disbelieved this if I didn't see it.Likewise, I was still lost in thoughts when I heard the creak of my door. Furthermore, I turned aroun
