Madison's POVMy heart skipped a beat the moment he raised my head, and drew his lips closer to mine. I could hear my heart racing so fast. What is the Master trying to do? Why does his touch make me flustered?He drew his lips even closer, and I didn't even realize when I closed my eyes. Well, I had to open my eyes when he slapped my cheek. I opened my eyes immediately staring at him in shock."Why is your eyes closed, slave? Am I that scary? Do you think there's something else I'd want to do to you?" His voice was becoming meaner than ever. I shook my head in disagreement immediately, and he glared hard at me pushing me aside roughly, and I landed my butt on the ground."Listen carefully, I just want to remind you that you never saw anything back there. If you dare say a word to anyone then you can as well consider yourself dead" He grabbed my neck, and I coughed helplessly."Yes... Yes... Yes Master" I struggled to speak because I was choking from his firm grip. He didn't even have
Emery's POVThey turned to me sharply with furrowed eyebrows. With the idea I have now, I'm sure that girl is definitely going to be beheaded by The Master."What plan are you talking about Emery? The last plan you executed got us into so much trouble, and I wouldn't like that to repeat itself again" Rodolfo snapped at me, and I rolled my eyes."Come on Rodolfo, do you think I'm some kind of nonentity? With the plan I have now, I'm sure that the master is no never going to blame us. Who would even know that we are the one that did it? You have nothing to worry about, I have my neck on my shoulders" I scoffed at them."Emery, would you mind telling us about your plans? I don't know, but I feel kind of off with your plans. I know how much you hate that girl, and I know that you would like to get her out of your way no matter what. But you should also consider the fact that you might get yourself into trouble all in the name of getting that girl out of your way" Maria cut in sharply."Wh
Madison's POV"Hey! Knucklehead... What are you sleeping there?" Someone dragged my ear roughly, and I quickly opened my eyes immediately.It was no other than Lioness. I jerked up from the mat I was lying, and yawned tiredly. She glared at me like she was going to strangle me at any given opportunity."Good morning ma'am... I mean Lioness" I stuttered, and she sighed."Looks like you have a death wish? Don't you know that you are supposed to wake up very early in the morning? Have you forgotten that you are not only a slave but also a nanny?" She shouted at me, and I flinched. Goodness! All she does is give me the creeps."I'm sorry Lioness. I totally forgot that I have to take care of the master's daughter" I gulped hard."What are you standing there for?, Go ahead now" She yelled again, and I rushed out of the room immediately.I reluctantly walked to the master's daughter's room. The door was already open, all I did was to twist the doorknob, and unlock the door.I heard her cryin
Lucien's POVI read the scroll I was holding silently, and clenched my fist with so much annoyance. The content of the scroll was making me feel like puking.I kicked the table with so much annoyance as I sprang up from the rocking chair with anger burning through me."How dare him? Does he have a death wish?" I threw the scroll I was holding on the ground, and smashed it with my leg."I'm sorry master. I didn't know you were going to be this furious over the letter Master Xavier sent" Axel bowed his head slightly."Now Xavier is trying my patience, I've told you countless number of times that I won't sell my slave to him. She's mine, and mine she will remain" I banged my fist on the table, and he flinched a little."What should I reply Master Xavier?" Axel finally spoke after few minutes of silence."You don't need to send him any reply, I've already made myself clear to him. I won't sell my slave Madison to him no matter what he says" I spoke with finality in the tone of my voice."
Xavier's POVI fumed in anger immediately I got the message from Stone's castle. "He dares refuse me? How is that even possible? Stone has never ever refused to hand over his slaves once we choose any of them to buy" I growled in fury."I'm sorry master, but this message came directly from Master Stone's castle" One of the bodyguards explained, and I arched my eyebrows."I thought I heard from Stone but the slave stepfather holds him a lot of money, and that you would like to recover the money as soon as possible? Why then doesn't he want to sell the slave to me and regain the money that her stepfather had borrowed from him?" I thought out loud. What is going on with Stone. He has never been like this with any of his slaves no matter how beautiful they look."Just this once. This is the only slave of Stone that I got so attracted to, and he's going to refuse me? Among all his slaves, she's the only one I want. Why won't he let me have her if he claims he doesn't care about her?" I co
Lucien's POVI walked out of my chambers, and that should be the first time in so many weeks. I've always been the kind of person whose always indoors. The guards followed me behind while I walked in front.Holding my robe with my left hand, I walked bravely to the treasury room. I go there every month ending to check the treasures that I've kept there.Axel quickly opened the chains and padlock used to lock the door, and throws the door open. I walked into the dark treasury room, and looked around it. I was already used to the dark, so I could see through it perfectly.The first place I went to was the place I placed my precious diamond necklace. I consider that treasure precious because it was the last gift my late wife had given to me before she was gruesomely killed.I picked up the little silver bowl where I usually place the necklace, and to my greatest surprise it was nowhere to be found. Not only that, but I flared up with so much rage. Furthermore, I can lose every other trea
Mona's POV: I burst into tears as the guards dragged my friend Madison along with them. I was still in shock. The Madison I know would never steal such a thing."What could be the problem? This must be a set-up" I thought out loud.I ran out of the room to follow them, but one of the guards grabbed me by my neck. I coughed helplessly, but he still didn't let me go."Where do you think you're going? Who told you that you can follow her to the master's court?" He glared hard at me."Let me... Let me go! I'm sure my friend didn't do what you're accusing her of. She's not that kind of person" I struggled to free myself from his grip, but it was so tight that I couldn't even breathe."Who do you think you are? Her savior? Well, it's quite unfortunate that she's as good as death. Nothing will make the master free her, he has already ordered that whoever it is that stole the diamond necklace will be killed brutally" The callous guard smirked at me. Even if I was choking due to his grip, I g
Xavier's POVI got down from the horse, and walked majestically closer to Stone who glared hard at me like he just saw his enemy."How are you doing, cousin?" I forced a smile at him, and he rolled his eyes."I should be asking you what you are doing here Xavier? What are you doing here uninvited?" Lucien furrowed his eyebrows, and I smirked."I got your message, but I didn't want to believe it. I mean, she's just a slave and there's no way you would refuse selling her to me, right?" I replied, and turned my gaze to the unconscious slave.To my greatest surprise, it turned out to be the same slave who I wanted Lucien to sell to me."What is the meaning of this, Stone? Why do you want to kill the slave whom I told you I'd like to buy from you?" I arched my eyebrows, and he exhaled deeply."She's mine, and whatever I do with her, it's none of your business. You're not allowed to interfere here because you have no right to" Lucien growled at me."Are you planning to kill her? If you real
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
