Lucien's POV:
I paced around the dark room in fury while the guards knelt in front of me.
The room was so dark, and no one could even see my face.
I stood firm having a view of my shadow on the wall.
The wind was getting heavier, and I could feel it because the curtains were all dancing to the tone of the wind.
I was putting on a black robe exposing my broad chest that was tattooed "Stone".
Fear would definitely grip anyone that dares enter the room because it was so dark, and quiet like a morgue.
The guards knelt for few more minutes before I broke the silence.
"That useless man didn't pay me my money?" I freaked out banging my fist on the table, and giving the guards a disdainful stare.
They flinched in fear, and bowed their heads.
"We're sorry master Stone. He gave us his beautiful daughter in exchange for the money" Rodolfo, one of my guards spoke up.
I scoffed in sarcasm at the mention of 'beautiful daughter'.
"Beautiful daughter?" I repeated with a deadly smirk.
"Yes Master Stone, I'm sure that you're going to like her" Axel, the other guard replied with confidence.
"Shut up! Is she more beautiful than Emery, my favorite slave?" I snorted, and they kept quiet.
"I can assure you Master Stone, she's very beautiful and looks so pure. You will definitely be glad to have her as one of your s*x slaves" Rodolfo replied.
"I hope she is. Call the lady guards for me" I coldly eyed them before sitting on the rocky chair beside me.
They walked out of the room immediately.
Of course no one dares disobey me. I am death for anyone that tries to go against my wills.
I've sold my emotions to the devil, and I don't care about any living being or how they feel.
No one knows where I come from, I just came and dominated them.
I am Stone. Nothing can make me soft not even the sea can soften me.
In this world, I rule over all of them. I say what happens, and what shouldn't happen.
Ruthlessness is my nature. I have no feelings for any human.
I don't believe there's any word called "emotions".
You must be wondering the kind of person I am.
There's no form of warmth in my eyes, all I have for humans is hatred, and rage.
Some minutes later, the two lady guards knocked on my door two consecutive times before walking in.
"Master Stone, you asked for my presence"
"You asked to see me, master Stone"
They chorused with a bow, and I backed them.
"Have you seen the new slave?" I snapped with a scoff.
"Yes Master Stone" They chorused again.
"I want you Delia to teach everything she needs to know about being a slave" I said with a smirk.
"Yes Master Stone" Delia nodded her head immediately.
"Is there any of the slaves being an asshole to you, Lioness?" I turned to look at her, and saw that she looked rather sad.
"Yes Master Stone" The muscular build lady agreed.
Anger engulfed me, and I quickly flashed my fierce eyes open the more.
"What? Who dares? Who dares go against a servant of mine?" I roared in anger, and the room echoed.
"It's one of the slaves Gianna. She has refused to do her duties as a slave that she is to you, my beloved master Stone" Lioness groaned.
"I order you to behead her" I mercilessly replied.
Delia fell on her knees immediately I said those words.
"Master Stone, I plead with you on her behalf. Please, don't behead her" Delia begged on her knees.
"What is the meaning of this Delia? Why do you always plead on the behalf of those slaves? They are slaves, and should be treated as one" Lioness clenched her fist.
"I won't grant your request again Delia. You have pleaded enough on her behalf, I want her head on my diamond platter before dawn" I replied with finality in the tone of my voice.
They nodded their heads, and walked out of the room.
"Humans must all be treated like animals that they are. They deserve no mercy" I mumbled.
Madison's POV:
I sat helplessly in the cell where I was kept still crying my eyes out.
The footsteps and chains clanking drew my attention towards the door of the cell. The door was opened, and a lady walked in.
Unlike the other muscular lady, this one was really very beautiful and has a warm smile.
For the first time since I was locked up in the cell, I felt safe with her.
"Hello dear" She walked closer to me.
"Good day ma... What should I call you please?" I still spoke to her with fear.
"You don't have to be afraid my dear, I won't hurt you. You can call me Lady Delia" She softly replied.
My mouth curved into a smile for the first time in days.
"Thanks... Thank you, Lady Delia" I stuttered.
"I'm going to be your new mistress. I'll be teaching everything you need to know as a slave in Stone's castle" She politely uttered, and all I did was nod my head in agreement.
She opened the bag she was carrying, and brought out a sack dress.
"From today onwards, you'll be dressed in sack dresses" Lady Delia said, and I nodded my head in agreement.
I looked at the sack cloth, and tears circulated in my eyes.
I managed to blink rapidly until I took them back.
"Put them on sack clothes, then follow me outside immediately" Lady Delia ordered.
I took off my clothes, and put on the sack dress.
And to be honest, I looked really beautiful even in a sack dress for slaves.
Lady Delia smiled at me, and patted my hair.
"You look good even in those" She complimented me, and I forced a smile at her.
Who would know how to smile on my condition?
"What's your name by the way?" She turned her gaze at me.
"My name is Madison Adams" I snapped, and she nodded before leading me out of the room.
I followed her suit, and we walked many doors down the corridor.
I looked around the castle in awe.
"The castle is so big"
Actually, ever since I was brought in here as a slave, this is the first time I'm leaving my cell.
We walked out of the castle, straight to the field outside.
The field was so big, and there were plenty of slaves working under the sun in the field.
Am I really ready for this kind of life?
"This is the work field. Early every morning, slaves work and toil in the field" Lady Delia explained.
My hands were still chained to my back, and it was hurting so badly.
We got to the other side of the field, and I spotted the muscular lady dragging a young girl.
Fear gripped me, but I managed to get a hold of myself.
The young girl was chained in both hands and legs while the muscular lady Lioness dragged her on the bare ground bruising her already bloody body.
Lioness shoved out a sword from her scabbard, and cut off the young girl's neck.
"No...." I couldn't hold myself back anymore.
Blood splashed all over the place, and I lost consciousness immediately.
Madison's POV:I slowly opened my eyes, and saw many eyes peering into my face. Fear gripped me, but Lady Delia held me tight."What... What happened to me?" I managed to speak though she was still visibly scared."You fainted a while ago, but you're okay now" Lady Delia softly replied."What's with the nice treatment Delia? Have you forgotten what she came here for? She's a slave now, and shouldn't be given the impression that she's a freeborn" Lioness barked.I gulped nervously, and goosebumps ran down my spine immediately the memories of what happened earlier floated in my mind."Was she beheaded?" Was all I could say despite the fact that I tried to stop myself from speaking. I just couldn't help it, I wanted to know if the young woman I saw earlier was killed for real.Lady Delia smiled faintly at me, and my heart skipped a beat."Did she?" I curved my eyebrows upwards."Shut up! Who do you think you are to question us? You're a slave, and if you misbehave like she did, I won't h
Madison's POV:"What?" I shrieked in fright."You're not allowed to keep the Master waiting if you don't want to lose your life" Axel spoke with the scariest voice I've ever heard. Goosebumps ran down my spine.Am I really prepared for this? I might pretend like I'm strong, but in the inside I know very well that I wasn't prepared.I exhaled deeply, and struggled up with my hands still chained.Tears circulated in my eyes, and I tried to blink it in, but I failed, instead the tears rolled down my cheeks. It was too dark so no one saw the tears.Axel brought out a key, and unlocked the chains in my hands and legs."Follow me" He waved at me gesturing me to follow him. I walked behind him like someone who was going to be slaughtered.I've heard so many stories about Stone, many people said so many scary things about him. He loans people money, but has no patience when it comes to paying back the money.We walked along the hallway. Axel halted, and turned to the right door.My heart star
Lucien's' POV:I stared at her with pure lust because her body was f****** hot. I couldn't get my eyes off her."She's really damn sexy" I told myself with a wicked grin.I saw tears roll down her cheeks, and I slapped her hard across the face. She sniffed hard trying to stop herself from crying."What do you think you are? Don't you dare make a noise.You're my hoer!" I grabbed her neck, and she choked coughing helplessly. Watching her struggle made me so fulfilled. "What are you waiting for, slave? Do you want me to tear the panties just same way I tore the brassiere?" I was still holding her neck, and she was starting to lose her breath.I forcefully let go of her neck, and she landed her back on the wall coughing uncontrollably."You think I'll let you die? You're mistaken Madison. I won't let you die yet until you've paid me all the debts your good for nothing stepfather owes me. You're going to pay every f****** penny" I yelled at her, and she flinched in fear."Take off your p
Madison's POV:I managed to get up from the bed. The pains were excruciating, but I don't have any choice. Who knows what he's going to do to me if he comes out, and see me still lying on the bed.Immediately I stood up, blood rolled down my thighs. It took me about ten minutes to get to the door, I opened the door and walked out of the room leaping. I was still limping when I saw Lady Delia walking towards me."Madison, how are you feeling?" She grabbed me by my waist. I tried to force a smile at her as usual, but this time instead of the false smiles tears rushed down my cheeks.I could see pity and pains all over her face as she watched me cry in her arms. She hugged me tightly patting my back."You have to stop crying child" She spoke softly, and I sniffed hard."I'll... I'll be fine Lady Delia" That was all I could say because the pains I was feeling in between my thighs didn't let me say any more words."I need to prepare some herbs for you. You should take the herbs as soon as
MADISON'S POV:My heart skipped a beat immediately I heard what Lady Delia said. The Master is really going to kill anyone who gets pregnant after he had sex with the person? Isn't he the cruelest man in the whole universe?"But... Why... Why would he do... Do something like that?" I spluttered though I was really very scared."That's something I can't tell. But I assure you that you wouldn't want to hear about it, just bear in mind that you shouldn't ever conceive for the master. Each time you have intercourse with him, make sure you ask me for the contraceptive herb" Lady Delia patted my shoulder.What she said frightened me, so I quickly picked up the cup containing the herb, and drank it all. It was so bitter, but I rather drink the bitter herb than have my hair chopped off."Thank you, Lady Delia" I forced a smile trying to hide my anxiety and fear. She handed another herb to help me reduce the pains I was feeling in between my thighs. I drank the herbs and thanked her while she
Madison's POV:I was still lying fast asleep not until I heard the metal bell ringing loudly. I held my head that was aching me so badly, now I know that I'm really a slave that can be used anyhow the Master wants.Likewise, I made to get up from the bed, the pains in my thighs came back again. But this time, it has reduced than last night. I managed to get myself up from the bed, I have to go ahead and work in the field before I'll be beheaded for disobedience.I took my bath, and had my hair packed to a ponytail. Even if the slave's dress is a sack cloth, I still looked ravishingly beautiful in them.Walking down the hallway, thoughts filled my mind. Is this how am f****** going to live my life forever? I already know my way to the field because Lady Delia took me there the other day.I walked past some guards, and slaves who were also rushing to the field to work. They were all barefooted, but I had an animal skin sandal on my feet. Should I put this off? I looked around, and saw a
Emery's POV:I paced around impatiently lost in thought while my best friend and personal servant Maria watched me in confusion."Is anything the matter, Emery?" She broke the silence, and I turned to her with a disturbed look. I was trying to wrap my head around whom that slave I just saw was."Have you seen her before?" I gulped hard. She stared at me with narrowed eyebrows."Who are you talking about?" She finally spoke up after staring at me for some minutes. I sat heavily on my bouncing bed."What kind of question is that? I'm talking about the new slave, why does she look like a princess instead of a slave?" I bit my lower lips with worry written all over my face. Don't know why I'm worried, but something in me keeps making in uncomfortable about her."She's the new slave that was brought into the castle few days ago. I heard her stepfather paid off his debt to the Master with her" Maria snapped, and I exhaled deeply with a shrug."I don't know, but I see her as a threat" I mumb
Lucien's POV:I stood right in front of the window staring outside the house through the window. I was putting on a black long robe, and a hood. One might get into the room without noticing that I was in due to the darkness of the room.The door creaked open after a single knock, and without being told I knew it was Emery who got into the room. She's the only one who doesn't knock twice when getting into my room."You sent for me, my Master" She spoke up despite the fact that she didn't even know where I was because it was too dark, and I was putting on a black robe as well.I didn't reply her for some time, then I turned around staring at her with my unsmiling face that looked so deadly. To be honest, I can't remember the last time that I smiled. Perhaps, when Zara was still herself I guess."Emery?" I called out with a cold voice, and she smiled a little."My Master! What do you want me to do for you? Your slave is at your service" She bowed slightly with a seductive smile as usual.
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
