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
Chris POV I held Ezra's lifeless body ,she weighed nothing in my arms. What have I done to her? All she does is try to console and protect me despite all I have done to her. To think that George would want to kill me in my mansion even after I let everything go,I let everything go because of our past relationship but he still wants to kill me. I saw as George's guards stood and protected him,he planned the whole thing already,Stephen was beside him staring at the scene in shock. The healer took Ezra from my arms. She was bleeding profusely. "George!!" I roared. I know a fight might break out soon."Stop " I told my guards. "George, what's the meaning of this?" Master Felix asked angrily.George said nothing as his guards were trying to secure him. "I forgave you even when I found out you had a hand in the death of my family. Now you want to kill me to cover it up and end my father's bloodline!" I shouted at him. The commotion died down at my words. The masters looked
Chris's POV The next day my body was too weak to get out of bed,Hannah came visiting I was told,I went to meet her. Hannah embraced me happily,she requested to see Ezra when I narrated what happened to her ,she was led to the healers ,she thanked her. Hannah was scared for me ,I won't blame her, how can't I be safe in my own house."How can master George do this to you ?" She asked. I have no reply . After staying with me for a while She left in the afternoon. The masters expected that George called for a meeting at Henry's house. I attended ,we talked on how to handle this matter,if we put our forces together taking George down would be easy so we all agreed and the preparations began. George was sent a letter to resign as a master since he committed such an unforgivable act. He was given a week to resign and pay for compensation, he can't be killed but resigning and paying 100,000 gold was his fine and giving the masters two lands each was his fine for the commotion
Ezra's POV__if you let me hold your hands one more time,I won't do anything hurt you and I won't dare let you go,I will cherish you and hold you close to my heart,how true are those words__ Lady Hannah visited and thanked me for my kindness."You are one in a kind," she smiled. I was not happy but I forced a smile ,she told me that I could request for anything and I told her I didn't want anything. The master summoned me the next day to his room ,when I came in he asked me to sit and I refused."Sit, " he said again. I sat and we were staring at each other."I owe you and apologize," he said."Wait, don't apologize," I said."Why?" He asked, confused."There's no need, you did nothing wrong. I was just stupid and didn't see clearly,there is no need to thank me as well I did what anybody would do" I said."Not everyone would do that," he said."Let's not waste our strength, I just need you to let me rest ." I said."Go where ?" He asked."You asked me the first tone when I s
