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
Lady Delia's POVI covered Zara properly with the duvet, and kissed my cheek. For the first time in a few weeks, she actually fell asleep. Not like she has insomnia like her father, but I think this has to do with Madison's disappearance.I stepped out of the room, and met Mona wailing helplessly on the ground."What's going on here? Axel, what happened?" I turned to Axel who was standing at the other end with his head bowed."Lady Delia, it's about the master and Madison" He sniffed, and I arched my eyebrows still confused."What do you mean by that? Didn't he go over to the valley for a wedding ceremony? Why then are you guys crying because of that?" I scoffed, and stared at Axel."He is nowhere to be found, and the same goes to Madison. They were together in the ship that exploded" He sighed, and I gasped in shock."This has to be a joke Axel, and you know very well that you shouldn't joke around things like this. Are you trying to tell me that Stone is dead?" I held my chest tryin
Madison's POVI sat at the beach side of the island still blushing and touching my lips. I couldn't get it off my mind that the Master and I actually kissed, but how did we get to this place?"Aren't you hungry? Or your dumbness won't let you eat?" I heard that cold but heartwarming voice from behind. What are you thinking about, Madison? You shouldn't talk about the cruel Master in that manner.I turned around, and saw him standing behind me. I jumped up, and bowed my head. I couldn't get myself to stare into his face."Here… you can eat this. Get ready, we'll be leaving this island back to the Stone's castle, and this time around you're not allowed to go back to the third valley mansion" He ordered, and I nodded my head.I took the wrap he gave me. It was roasted fish, and the aroma of the fish was so nice. My mouth watered by only looking at it."Fish!" I gasped, and licked my lips."Is that how much you like it?" He scoffed, and I nodded my head even though I wasn't looking at him
Emery's POV“Get a hold of yourself, Emery, this isn't the end of the world. Besides, he's not even your husband” Maria patted my back.“It is the end of the world, Maria. Don't you get it? I've always dreamt of getting married to the master. Don't you know that I also want to be a mistress apart from a favorite slave?” I sniffed hard trying to stop myself from crying.“How is that even possible when you have a rival, Emery? Have you forgotten that the Master in question has a soft spot for Madison? What makes you think he'd choose you over her?” Maria scoffed, and I glared hard at her furiously.“Shut up Maria. What do you know? I'm the Master's favorite slave, and he even took me with him to the banquet. Isn't that enough reason for you to know that the master also has a soft spot for me?” I raised my brows.“At the time he took you, I'm very certain that Madison wasn't in the castle, or was she?” Maria asked, and I gulped hard, turning my gaze away.Just then, the memories flashed
Lucien's POV“What deceased are you talking about?” I said immediately, I stepped my feet into the castle.“Lucien? Stone?” Lady Delia called out, and gasps filled the air. “Yes lady Delia. Whose funeral are you conducting? Did anyone in the castle die?” I asked, and freaked out on seeing my picture hung on the wall very close to the candle they had lit.“You're alive?” She hugged me tightly, and I nodded my head, still shocked. I never thought they'd already consider us dead.“What the f*** Is this? Hey! Take my picture into my chambers, and destroy all of this” I ordered, and the guards obeyed immediately.“We thought you'd be with Madison. How come she's not here? Does that mean that she's the one who has died?” Lady Delia cried out, and I snorted.“Died? Hell no! I would never have let her die. She still needs to pay dearly for disobedience” I rolled my eyes as Madison walked in, and someone chuckled.You wonder who? Zara… Zara chuckled on seeing Madison. What? She didn't even sm
Madison's POVHis lips tasted like honey, and I found myself wanting more. What's going on with me? Why am I wanting something I'm supposed to hate?We continued snogging, but suddenly, he disengaged the kiss. I stared directly into his eyes with my face, countenance changed. I didn't beg him to continue, but my eyes were so pleading that he'll definitely find out that I really wanted more. Furthermore, I was so wet down there.“Do you want me to do this?” He whispered into my ear, biting my earlobes.“Yes… I mean no” I stuttered, and for the first time he smirked at me, grabbing me by my waist.“I own you, Madison. I don't need anyone to tell me that you really want it, it's written all over you” He pressed closer to himself, and I licked my lips seductively.“But Master, what if little Zara wakes up?” I asked, and he spanked my butt naughtily.He responded with a smirk. “ She won't”Then, I felt his hand on my thighs. Is this really the Master? Why is he being so soft on me? The Mas
Lucien's POV“Bianca?” I called with arched eyebrows, and she blew her gun noisily with a wink. Her smile was still as beautiful as ever.“Are you surprised to see me, Stone? You must be thinking I've forgotten you all” She laughed, and I gulped hard.“W… what are you doing here? I thought you said you'd be getting married to your boyfriend in the states?” I tried hard to find my voice because I was too shocked to speak up.“What the f***? You're seriously asking me that? Is it that you're not happy to see me?” She snorted, and Lady Delia rushed in immediately.“Bianca?” She called, and Bianca rushed into her arms, hugging her tightly.“Mom!” She chuckled, still hugging her even tighter.“You didn't tell me you were coming back? How come you came back without notice? I didn't know you were coming back, we would have picked you up from the airport” Lady Delia stared at her.“What? Why do you all look like you would rather not see me? I just wanted to surprise everyone, especially you L
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
