Chapter 9
Master Abigor was sinful. That, I stand by. The man was made of sin, he was covered in sin- he was sin, that is all that I can say.
"Are you relieved that you have no more singing concerts for the rest of this month?" Lydia asked me, snapping me out of my thoughts.
She along with my ladies in waiting were dressing me and getting me ready for the day. To-day was only supposed to be a day of relaxation but Master Abigor wished me to attend some special occasion, so

When I arrived, the first face that my eyes laid upon was Master Abigor's. He held out his hand for me to accept and I gladly accepted it, as I always do. I stepped down and he stepped back, creating distance between us because of the big dress.His eyes looked me over, "you look glamorous, Aphrodite," he told me and I smiled at the compliment."Only the best for you, Master Abigor," I responded as I looked around. A red carpet was stretched out from my carriage leading to the inside of the castle like mansion that I was sure belonged to a royal. There were several carriages lined up, "what are we attending, Master?" I asked him.I do not usually ask him such, but because I feel much more acquainted with him, I hope he does not mind the question."Duke Barclay is having a birthday celebration," Master answered me, as we neared the huge doors that were heavily guarded, "you know the rules, Aphro

"Master, he was the one who touched me," I stammered out nervously as Master Abigor was walking me back to my carriage. I had spent the remainder of the ngiht sitting anxiously with clammy hands and a heart beating 100 beats a minute because I was so fearful of what would happen when I was alone again with Master Abigor, "there was no way I could have stopped it," I rushed out as we approached my carriage and the door was held open by my coachman.Master Abigor had my hand placed in the crook of his arm as he casually guided me to the carriage. Even though his face gave nothing away, I could not help but feel that something was unsettling.I was certain he was upset with me, "hush," he huskily whispered into my ear, causing goosebumps to appear on my arms. He placed his index finger on my lips, silencing me, "if you say one more word, I will not hesitate to punish you even more."A lump formed in my throat and I wa

My body was set alight, I was on fire- consumed by its flames. His words registered in my brain and took effect on my body, driving me mad with unfamiliar reactions. I felt so suffocated by my Master's sudden attention on me. I always believed our relationship was strictly platonic.I thought he held no feelings towards me whatsoever. I believed he only treated me as a business, a business that he rewarded very well for the money and success it brought him.I have never thought of being with a gentleman. It has never crossed my mind because I was so engrossed in my work and making my Master proud. I was only exposed to whatever Master Abigor allowed and I was perfectly content with it.I was still much young and had the beauty of youth to my favour.I was still lying in bed while Lydia attended to me. I worried this woman too much, "Lydia, you work too much," I voiced and she stilled in place a

I had ordered Lydia to request and seek out a portrait painter, I wanted only the best of the best and I had given her this task while I was sick and in bed. To-day she came with the good news that the painter was waiting for me. I eagerly got dressed in a beautiful white gown that exposed most of my skin and contrasted with my dark skin.I entered the massive room and looked at the short round man who immediately rushed to his feet and bowed before me, "Lady Aphrodite, it is an honour that you have chosen me to be the one who captures your beauty," he let out in a hurry and I simply waved my hand."Oh, tis no big matter. I hope you shall not make me regret my decision," I responded even though Lydia had been the one who had to pick through persons to find the best and most suitable painter."Not at all," he shook his head and I worried for his neck but I casually glided over to the expensive sofa that I had made f

Jack was being accompanied out by one of the servants as I stretched and gently massaged my neck. I was in desperate need of a warm bath with soothing oils being rubbed all over my body.I walked through the halls that were lit with both candles and chandeliers that Master Abigor had bought from Egypt and had cost two cases of gold. I looked behind me, feeling as though some person were following me.When I looked around, I spotted nothing so I continued to walk up to my sleeping chambers. I opened the doors and when I stepped in, my ladies in waiting rushed to my aid. They began to lead me to my bathing chambers, where the tub had been filled with water."Oh, I need my muscles to be soothed," I complained as I turned to face one of them to instruct them to take off my dress when a voice interrupted me."You are all dismissed for the remainder of the night," I turned to see Master Abigor standi

Certain days, I can never seem to catch a break. I am constantly busy, preparing myself for shows and performances. My days are constant headaches and I struggle to even have a moment of rest besides when it is nightfall and I need to be in bed.Yet, other days I find myself having nothing to do. Just as to-day, I find myself aimlessly wandering around the compound, running my fingers along the stone walls of this castle like mansion that felt so cold yet homey.I wore a ball gown that felt light compared to the usual heavy ball gowns with heavy material to give the skirt full effect. This dress was perfect, a pink that contrasted against my dark skin. I felt light and airy, and I could not help but to twirl around the hallways, giggling to myself.I walked around barefoot, my small feet dancing along the marble floors as I threw my head back and began to sing about the silliest of things."I r

I paced up and down my sleeping chambers, rushing to shut my curtains and slam my windows shut, closing doors and barricading them. I was protecting myself from the monster I so believed resided within my home.It all made sense- it all suddenly made sense. He kept promising me that I would never be touched by either of those men- oh for the life of me, I had not in a million light years thought he meant that he would kill them."Murderer!" I exclaimed in fear and accusation to no person in particular. I could feel Lydia's judgemental eyes on my figure as I walked to and fro, attempting to save us from Master Abigor. I had not told her yet."Who?" she asked me as she sat on the corner of my bed, not moving as I had instructed her.I ran my hands through my hair, feeling crazed and I most certainly looked as so, "I am to tell you something and I know that it may sound crazed, but it is the truth

The best part about not having any work to do, is that I get to sleep in as late as I want. There is no disruption of any kind and I get to drift off into dream land, and truly enjoy my bed, warm sheets and blankets.I snuggled deeper into my bed, enjoying the feel of the pillow beneath my head, "-dite, Aphrodite, rise up, open your eyes, Aphrodite," I groaned and rolled over, attempting to escape the nuisance that was pulling me away from my precious sleep, "Aphrodite, awake at once!""Hush!" I hurriedly exclaimed as I raised my head from my pillow and glared at Lydia with sleepy eyes, "do you not see me asleep?" I snapped at her, cranky that she was the one interrupting my sleep when she knew how much this meant to me."But-""Did I not tell you to not wake me, Lydia? You are my friend but this is un-""The master has requested your presence," she let out in a rush as she
