Mona's POV:I almost screamed, but I managed to cover my mouth with my palms. I can't believe what I just saw. Apart from the fact that the place reeked of filth, they were also going to burn her feet.I scratched my head in confusion trying hard not to make a sound."What do I do? How do I help her out since she was granted permission to torture her by the Master?" I paced around trying to think of something.Suddenly, a thought popped into my head, and I widened my eyes trying to comprehend it. I rushed off immediately. The least I can do is to rescue poor Madison from that monster that calls herself Emery. Emery and I used to be best friend's when she got into the castle.We practically did everything together because I've always wanted someone who I could call my sister. She was brought to the castle when the Master went to fight with the enemy clan. Emery was abducted alongside with some women of the clan when Stone defeated their clan.Then, she was a very nice person. We were a
Lucien's POV:I banged my fist on the table, and groaned in pains. Actually, my fist hasn't been treated ever since I bruised it."I'm bittered, Lucien" Lady Delia started, and her words made me so angry. I know how peaceful Lady Delia is, and she hardly gets angry. Whatever it is that made her angry must be so brutal that she even called me by my first name."Tell me what the problem is, Lady Delia? Who is the reason for your bitterness?" I roared in anger."No one else but your favorite s*x slave. She's the reason why my heart is bittered, she has bitten more than she can chew, and I want her to be punished" Lady Delia grumbled."My Mistress? What did she do that made you so angry?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows."She's punishing the new slave brutally. She's making the guards treat her like garbage when she's done nothing wrong" She reported, and I smirked remorselessly.Emery's POV:I watched the guards burn her feet with the fire, and I was so happy. Her feet were already so bru
Lucien's POV:I carried her straight into my chambers, and laid her on the big sofa. She was still unconscious reeking of filth. I stared at her face scornfully like I was going to stab her if I'm given the opportunity to."Why did I even bring you to my chambers? Shouldn't I have just left this stupid slave to die in the hands of Emery? Why do I care whether she lives or not?" I continued questioning myself, but got no answers.I was also reeking of filth after carrying her on my back, and I couldn't take the stench. Furthermore, I walked straight to the bathroom for a shower.When I got out of the bathroom, I saw Lady Delia in the room with the herbs she went to get. I was putting on a black robe, so I sat on the rocky chair at the other side of the room."She looks so pale. I pray she'll be able to survive this, and her feet are bruised from the fire. I'll try as much as I can to treat the burns so that she won't be scarred" Lady Delia continued talking."I never asked for the deta
Emery's POV:Maria walked closer to my bed with the glass of water I requested for. She dropped the glass on the stool beside the bed."Emery? Here is the glass of water you asked for" She tapped me, and I groaned in pains."Don't you dare poke me! Can't you see that I'm in pains?" I yelled at her, and she gulped nervously."I'm sorry, but you know I warned you about this when you said you wanted to punish the new slave. You should have just listened to me, but no! You're way too stubborn" Maria scolded me, and I glared hard at her."What kind of friend are you, Maria? Shouldn't you be trying to console me instead of condemning me?" I shouted at her, and she shrugged."I know that this was dangerous. Now you've been mercilessly flogged by your worst enemy Axel. He must be in jubilation by now" Maria added, and I gritted my teeth to her hearing."I hate that Axel so much, he must be one of the reasons why the Master punished me." I made for the glass, and drank some water.Actually, I
Madison's POV:"Then crawl away" He sneered with disgust all over his face. My jaw dropped in shock immediately he said those words. How would I be able to crawl with all the sore all over my body.Anyway, I don't have any choice because he's my Master, and I can't disobey him if I value my life. I nodded my head with a faint smile. Those smiles are actually sadness, I've never really had any true smile ever since I stepped my feet into my ruthless Master's castle.I went down, and started crawling even if it was so difficult for me. He was focused with the scroll he was holding, and reading.I continued crawling even if I had to cut my knee when I was trying to crawl. I grabbed the doorknob, and crawled out of the chamber.Crawling to my room is definitely going to be the most difficult thing for me to do considering the fact that it was faraway.Tears circulated in my eyes, and slowly started flowing down my cheeks. I sat on the bare ground looking at my burnt feet. It was badly wou
Madison's POV:Ever since I stepped my foot into this house, all I've always felt is pains and pains. I don't think I'll ever be happy again.I don't think I'll be able to leave this house again. This is probably my destiny, and nothing can stop all the pains I'm feeling. I can't even walk on my own.My door creaked open, and that smacked me out of my thoughts. Of course, anyone is allowed to enter my room without knocking because I'm a slave. It was Axel, the Master's favorite guard."Sorry I barged in. I just wanted to give you these, they are from Lady Delia" He handed a cup of herbs to me, and I reluctantly took it from him. The medicine had such a bad aroma that I almost three up, but I managed to hold myself."Thank you so much" I forced a smile at him, sadly the smile was filled with sorrows."I think you should just rest, so that the wound will heal" He pointed at my burnt feet, and I nodded my head."I will, thank you" I agreed, before he walked out of the room. I picked up t
Madison's POVI was waiting for the worst because I know that I'm already in trouble. Why are they all so heartless towards me? I'm just an unfortunate slave just like every one of them. Does it make sense that they hate me so much?I was still lost in thoughts when my doorknob clicked. My heart skipped a beat, and I gulped hard.In front of my door stood Mateo who was holding a cow skin whip. My heart sank, and tears circulated in my eyes."Am I going to be flogged again?" I thought within myself. Fear gripped me, and I was visibly shaking. Okay! I know this is exactly what's going to happen.Mateo smirked at me, and cold shivers ran down my spine. I managed to sit up from the bed, but I couldn't stand on my feet."Do you think you came here on a vacation? Or you think you're here as a princess?" He started, and I held my breath in fear. I didn't know what exactly to say, because I wouldn't want to get into trouble by saying a word."Sir, I... I... I'm sorry I said what I said. Furth
Madison's POV:Mona sat right beside me applying some ointment on my already healing feet. Honestly she's been more than a friend to me."How is your feet doing right now? Are you feeling any better?" Mona broke the silence with her questions, and I managed to nod my head in agreement."I'm feeling much better now, Mona. I don't know what would have been of me if you and Lady Delia didn't intervene for me" I spoke with a teary voice, and the memories of what happened filled my mind."Just promise me you always tell me when you are in trouble. I see you like my sister, and I wouldn't want you to get hurt. I was surprised as well because the Master stood up for you, I'll be honest with you this is the very first time he has done something like that" Mona lowered her voice, and I stared at her in confusion."I'm confused myself, because I didn't expect him to stand up for me. I know that he doesn't like me, and I know that he will do anything it takes to hurt me. I'm just a payment for t
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
