Chapter 35 The close mistake
Emery’s POV
I paced around with so much annoyance. I can’t wait for the master to get back home. Someone has to stop this wicked Lioness from tormenting me.
“What’s going on Emery? Why do you look so worried?” Her friend asked her, and she heaved a sigh.
“I’m worried. I don’t want Lioness to keep making me work like a slave, I don’t know why she doesn’t understand that I’m the favorite slave of the Master, so I’m not allowed to do the works other slaves do” I cried out, while Maria exhaled deeply.
“But you are a slave Emery. You don’t expect any special treatment from Lioness” Maria snapped, and I glared hard at her.
“Sometimes I wonder why I got someone like you as a friend, shouldn’t you be siding with me?” I yelled at her.
“Should I? You know the truth, you know the reason why Lioness despises you as well. As you can see, the master went out with the new slaves, I expect you to be in your best behavior, so that you won’t keep getting into trouble with Lioness” Maria replied.
“What’s keeping the Master anyway? He should be back by now?” I turned to Maria, and she shrugged.
“You don’t expect him to do everything you want, do you?” Maria snorted, and I rolled my eyes.
Madison’s POV:
The truck drove off, and all I did was to keep looking for Mona. I know that she was the one who disguised herself for me.
How was she able to cope with the two masters who took her away? How is she doing? Did she survive the ordeal? Lots of thoughts kept running through my mind.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“Madison, are you okay?” One of the slaves tapped me, and I forced a smile at her.
“Yes, I’m fine” I replied even though it was a lie. I just couldn’t conceal my worry.
“You don’t look okay. I hope you didn’t have a hard time with the Master?” She asked, and I shook my head.
“I’m still very surprised that someone obliged to be a substitute for you. Do you know the person? Or have you met the person anywhere for her to decide to help you?” She asked, and I shook my head.
I still couldn’t get myself to stop worrying. What if the Masters succeeded in making life miserable for her? Master Stone doesn’t even know that she’s Mona.
I turned to the other side, and saw Axel sitting at the end. I tapped him after summoning courage, and he turned his gaze at me.
“Umm… I’m sorry for bothering you, but do you know how that woman who offered to be my substitute is doing? Were you able to see her before we left the valleys?” I asked anxiously, and he shook his head negatively.
“I wasn’t able to see her, I’m sure she left immediately. Why do you ask?” Axel arched his eyebrows, and I scratched my head in confusion.
“Actually, I would have loved to thank her. I wanted to thank her, but I didn’t see her before we left” I lied.
“You definitely meet her someday” He said, and I nodded my head with a faint smile. Where are you Mona?
Mona’s POV:
Beads of sweats rolled down my face, and o felt like I was going to suffocate. I just know that I need to hang in here until we get to the castle.
I already did what I should for my best friend and sister. Furthermore, I can’t let them catch me now. Likewise, I was feeling so much pains in between my thighs because the last Master I warmed his bed didn’t let me get a sleep. He kept on screwing me.
Being a slave is really not easy. I’m used to it already, and it feels like nothing to me. I don’t even know what it means to be a freeborn.
The truck kept on moving until few hours before it stopped. From the car boot, I could hear the noise. The slaves were all going down from the truck which means they’re already at the Stone’s castle.
Before getting out of the van, I need to make sure that I don’t hear any noise anymore. I waited for about thirty minutes, and I heard no noise any longer.
My body was already paining me, and there were lots of marks all over my body. It was the marks I got from the whipping Master Karl gave me.
I managed to open the car boot, and peep of there was anyone close to see me. When I was sure that they are all out of sight, I sneaked out of the car boot.
Furthermore, I made sure there was no noise coming from the car, so that they won’t come out to check the van.
I got out of the boot, but suddenly I fell on the ground due to the stone on the ground. I quickly got up groaning in pains.
“Who are you?” I heard a manly voice, and fear gripped me. Who could it be? Oh, goodness! How do I get through this?
I managed to raise my head, and to my greatest surprise it was Axel standing right in front of me. My heart was racing, and sweats kept rolling down.
“Mona?” He called out, and I gulped hard.
“Ye…. Yes” I stuttered, and he arched his eyebrows in shock.
“What were you doing at the boot of the van?” He asked anxiously, and I gulped nervously.
“Please… Please I beg you. Don’t tell anyone about this. Please I promise I’ll do anything you tell me to” I went on knees, and he stared at me still surprised.
“Don’t tell me you followed the slaves to the valleys?” He gasped, and I nodded my head reluctantly.
“What? Why would you do that? Do you want to get killed? Why the hell will you want to give your life up?” He yelled at me, and the fear I was feeling increased.
“I just wanted to help my friend. I couldn’t sit back, and do nothing while she goes through hell at the valleys” I cried still on my knees.
“Where are you Axel?” That was the master’s voice. Cold shivers ran down my spine, and Axel grabbed me close to himself. We hid at the other side of the castle. Mistakenly, our lips met….
TBC….
