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
Chris POV I thought I had seen it all until Tony decided to visit me at my mansion. It was very surprising and shocking. He knows very well that I hate him so why bother coming. He had sent me invitations several times and I refused all that time,his carriage stopped outside my gate waiting for my word,there was murmuring in the mansion when after hours he didn't leave. Master George Stephen's father and Stephen came and he was let in . Tony started making a commotion, George asked what he came for I was unsure how to reply because I didn't know. George said he heard word of what was happening and came here , word was spreading fast he advised I should let him in. I told them to let him in,Tony sent them back to tell me he would come another time he had something urgent to do and he left."Weird man," Stephen said . We were sitting in the yard. George was in deep thought."Is something wrong?" I was concerned. He shook his head."Old age is taking a toil on me. I sp
Chris POV. It's been a week since I found out that George, a man I took as a father, had a hand in the death of my family. My father was his best friend but all in the quest for power he did something so cruel. I barely ate and I had no appetite. Stephen came to the mansion every day but he was asked to leave. He would remain at the gates till he got tired and left. What did he want? What is there to talk about? We are enemies now. I so want to kill George but I might be cruel but I didn't have it in me to kill the man I took as a father and yet he tried to poison me."Master " someone called. I was pulled out of my thoughts and it was Ezra. I didn't even notice when she came in."What is it?" I asked. "You were staring into space, " Ezra said."Was I now? " I sighed."Enjoy your meal " Ezra said and left. I didn't have much of an appetite but I forced the food down and drank water. A knock ."Come in," I said. Fred came in and greeted me." Master Stephen is at the
Chris's POV The next day after going about my morning routine,I wanted to go hunting but I remembered Hannah would be coming over with the lady so I stayed. In the afternoon a case was brought to me ,a slave tried to escape ,I told them to whip him 20 times for being stupid and throw him into the dungeon. I know I am ruthless , that's not my business. Hannah arrived in the afternoon with the said Lady. I was sitting in the garden as they approached. I glanced over to them and Hannah smiled. The lady is gorgeous, but beauty isn't what I am looking for. She walked with elegance as well as arrogance, I liked such ladies that carried themselves with pride but I won't say that out loud. They got me where I was."Greetings master, my name is Anastasia," the Lady said. I nodded and Hannah gave me a disapproving look ,she was expecting me to reply."Hi C" Hannah said. I rolled my eyes. Must she be so childish? "Sit " I said. She thanked me and they both sat. I too
._____________We don't choose who we fall in love with,nature does it for us_________Ezra's POVWhen lady Hannah brought ladies to the house,I was upset and acted unlike myself. It seemed like the master was searching for a wife,that's what the maids said and that made me really sad . Among all the ladies that came, the only one I liked was Twinkle. She was so free with everyone but she didn't know how to cook,so I guess that was her only problem since the master needs a wife who can cook . She even talked to the maids.I liked her but I didn't like her presence in the mansion. It reminded me that the master wanted a wife. I don't like it when they come over. I feel jealous and angry, dare I say. Why should I be feeling jealous when there's nothing going on between me and the master? My reactions baffled me and left me confused. The master ignores me now ,he seems to enjoy their presence very much,as he paid no attention to what was going on around him. Everyone was surprised
Ezra's POV I heard footsteps and I opened my heavy eyes.I had managed to fall asleep despite the pain,the medicine Fred gave me helped a lot. The guard opened the door ."Stand up " he commanded . As if I could do that in my present situation. He walked towards me and dragged my hair."Let go, " I said. He ignored me and dragged me out. I was dragged to the compound and I sat on the floor. What is the meaning of this? The compound is where everyone passes by ,the maids and guards ,does the master want to humiliate me. " Bring the sign, " a guard said. A sign was bought and he showed it to me . "Tried to seduce the Master " was boldly written on it. The guard smirked." You are a pretty one, why do that?" He asked as he placed the sign in front of me."No one is to assist her," the guard said to his companion. I sat in the middle of the compound with a sign that said that I tried to seduce the master in front of me,what other humiliation could I possibly go th
___love makes us do crazy things ___ Chris's POV It's been a week since the incident with Ezra,I don't know what I was thinking and I certainly don't know what willed me to push her away. I was drunk was the only excuse I had. Why would she do that? She knew very well I would punish her or she thought that I would reciprocate . If I was sober it wouldn't have happened, I needed someone to keep me company but she went and ruined it. I didn't want anyone near me but strangely I wanted her company, what's wrong with me. Well I guess she learned her lesson. The masters are going to have a gathering in my mansion tomorrow. I was looking forward to it but ,each time a gathering was to be held,a master was selected to be the host. If anything goes wrong I am to blame. I called Nora(the head maid) and gave her instructions to be strict and choose only the trusted ones. Ezra should be among them but given that I heard she lost a lot of blood and was recovering, I guess
