Ezra's POV;I went to serve the master the next day . He only responded to my greetings and said nothing more.I was confused. Did I do something wrong?I have only been doing what he asked me to do so what's wrong. After I fed him and after eating I wanted to leave but he still ignored me. He always said something to me whenever I was here ,we even played a game at times so it was strange that he was acting this way."Did I do something wrong, master?" I asked. He said nothing and continued staring at the book he held in his left hand,he is most definitely ignoring me."Master" I called. No response."Master""Do you want to get punished?" He asked, still looking at his book."I..... No, I just wanted to know how I offended you" I said. Chris tossed the book on the table."Why didn't you return back when Stephen left?" He asked. His question left me speechless."I wasn't comfortable," I said ."Just leave, I am not in the mood for your disturbance" he said.."I'm sorry " I said. He
Ezra's POV: I was called by Fred ,he said the master requested my presence. I hurriedly followed him,we got there and I went in alone."Master you sent for me " "Are you a spy?" He asked.I was surprised at the question."I'm not a master,"I replied. Chris was acting strange and I didn't like it,his face seemed cold unlike before." get on your knees, " he said. What offense have I committed,nevertheless I got on my knees obediently. "I will ask you again ,are you a spy?" He asked again. When I looked at him properly I could see he was angry,what happened?."Master, you know well enough that you brought me here from my mistress's house,I see no gain in being a spy since I am well paid," I said."Well you might be looking to catch a bigger fish," Chris said."Master..... If that was the case I should have gone with lady Hannah '' I said. I was surprised at how outspoken I had become in just a year's time . His face visibly relaxed."I don't trust you," he said."I thought.." I
Ezra's Point of view: Ever since I was wrongly accused of what I still don't know and stayed in the dungeon, I have become moody. All I wanted was what was best for the master ,but what I got in return was getting punished. Thinking about it made me angry at him but I couldn't do anything to him. I was just a lowly maid that can't be trusted by the master. Gloria had asked me what happened but I gave her no reply, I didn't want to talk about it and she understood and didn't ask again. The guards were punished and they died in the process that was supposed to make me happy,it only made me fear Chris. Naomi had come to my room to see me with sympathetic eyes,I don't know what to believe anymore. I nursed the cup of tea I held in my hand deeply in thought. "Ezra " Gloria called and touched my shoulder."What's wrong?" I asked."I have been calling you for a while now, finish your tea so that we can get to work" she said. I dropped the tea back on the table."And who will clean
Ezra's POVGloria's home was lovely,her family acted as one. I missed this type of bond,it made me remember home,I was welcomed so well that I didn't feel out of place. The next day I yawned as I woke up,her younger siblings were still sleeping. I walked out of the room to the kitchen where I saw Gloria and her mum. We exchanged greetings and I helped them prepare breakfast. It was really nice. Her mum asked what I would like to eat but I told her that everything was fine. After eating her parents went to work and her siblings went school,after doing all the house chores Gloria and I went out to her friends house. When we got there,we knocked on the door and a beautiful woman opened up. She smiled when she saw us. She was very happy to see Gloria. I think they have a good relationship ."Gloria how are you?" She asked and she let us in."I am fine ma,this is my friend Ezra" Gloria introduced me to the woman. "Nice to meet you Ezra ,Mirabel is in her room,can I get you anything?" Sh
Ezra's POVThe next two days were uneventful and I was so bored, we stayed at home mostly. Mirabel came over the next day to treat us to lunch, since our last lunch plan was cut short due to her cheating ex and her running off. We went to a local restaurant. We ordered food and Mirabel ordered for wine,I just stared at it in amazement. Gloria had argued with her on that but after all said she still ordered it and didn't listen to a word Gloria said. We were eating and Mirabel was busy gulping down the wine.I don't know what she's thinking while drinking all that wine."Easy Mira you will get a stomach ache" Gloria told her."Am fine, " Mirabel giggled. She had only taken two glasses of wine and she was already acting drunk.I really don't want to deal with a drunk. I hope she has a high alcohol tolerance."She never drinks I didn't know she doesn't have a high tolerance to wine" Gloria told me as she tried to drag the cup out of Mirabel's hand but Mirabel refused to let go,I conti
Ezra's POVUpon our return to the mansion,the maids were all happy but Gloria was afraid she prayed that the master forgets what happened and not question us about it.Coming back to the mansion tied a knot in my stomach, I prefer being free to do as I please and go wherever I want. The funny thing is that I already miss Mirabel. She is an interesting person. No matter how troublesome she is, I really prefer being outside the mansion. Naomi and the maids looked lively ,I guess I am not the only one who doesn't want to return here,it felt like a prison all of a sudden,I felt trapped and unable to breathe well,always on edge wondering what I will do that will annoy the master and he punishes me for it. I went to meet Gina and gave her a perfume I bought from the shop Mirabel took us to. She was so happy and thanked me nonstop for it. The slaves never left the mansion. If they do, they will be killed unless their master intervenes on their behalf. Fred was paying extra attention to m
Chris's POVDisputing land issues is so stressful that's why I don't like doing it at all. It sucks out the life in me and gives it to someone else,but after I decided to go to the garden and rest while waiting for my lunch to arrive,I felt so tired. I loved this garden because it bought a sense of peace to me, my late mother planted this garden when she married my Father,so she cherished it a lot and loved it and we would all come here to have a picnic almost everyday when I was younger it felt really wonderful, my mother was a lovely woman, she was kind to a fault and always treated the slaves like they were humans, I cherished and loved her most ,how unfortunate and hard life is. My father was not present all the time and I felt upset about it,he did not pay Much attention to us and I was always upset about it,I wonders if maybe he had a family elsewhere but now that am in his shoes i finally understand how busy he was that was why he couldn't stay with us as we wanted,or went t
Ezra's POVI have been helping Nora in cooking for the master,I rather not but he insisted. I go and get the stuff for cooking myself and when I come to cook everyone leaves. Nora practically told me to serve the master alone.I don't know what's wrong with that woman sometimes,she is acting as if she is planning something. I don't want to be around him but fate keeps pushing me towards him. Fate take it easy on me . This man is dangerous, being around him isn't good for me at all. When lady Hannah came she told me she would tell the master that I should be his personal chef, I begged her not to but she laughed it off,does she wish for my death . My only duty now was to serve the master which I sincerely dislike,but I have no choice since he is the master. We have to follow his orders or get punished because you refused. Sometimes I feel like putting more pepper into his food so that I would be called a bad cook,and he will find someone else but that would get me punished and I cer
