Chapter 2

Lucien's POV:

I paced around the dark room in fury while the guards knelt in front of me.

The room was so dark, and no one could even see my face.

I stood firm having a view of my shadow on the wall.

The wind was getting heavier, and I could feel it because the curtains were all dancing to the tone of the wind.

I was putting on a black robe exposing my broad chest that was tattooed "Stone".

Fear would definitely grip anyone that dares enter the room because it was so dark, and quiet like a morgue.

The guards knelt for few more minutes before I broke the silence.

"That useless man didn't pay me my money?" I freaked out banging my fist on the table, and giving the guards a disdainful stare.

They flinched in fear, and bowed their heads.

"We're sorry master Stone. He gave us his beautiful daughter in exchange for the money" Rodolfo, one of my guards spoke up.

I scoffed in sarcasm at the mention of 'beautiful daughter'.

"Beautiful daughter?" I repeated with a deadly smirk.

"Yes Master Stone, I'm sure that you're going to like her" Axel, the other guard replied with confidence.

"Shut up! Is she more beautiful than Emery, my favorite slave?" I snorted, and they kept quiet.

"I can assure you Master Stone, she's very beautiful and looks so pure. You will definitely be glad to have her as one of your s*x slaves" Rodolfo replied.

"I hope she is. Call the lady guards for me" I coldly eyed them before sitting on the rocky chair beside me.

They walked out of the room immediately.

Of course no one dares disobey me. I am death for anyone that tries to go against my wills.

I've sold my emotions to the devil, and I don't care about any living being or how they feel.

No one knows where I come from, I just came and dominated them.

I am Stone. Nothing can make me soft not even the sea can soften me.

In this world, I rule over all of them. I say what happens, and what shouldn't happen.

Ruthlessness is my nature. I have no feelings for any human.

I don't believe there's any word called "emotions".

You must be wondering the kind of person I am.

There's no form of warmth in my eyes, all I have for humans is hatred, and rage.

Some minutes later, the two lady guards knocked on my door two consecutive times before walking in.

"Master Stone, you asked for my presence"

"You asked to see me, master Stone"

They chorused with a bow, and I backed them.

"Have you seen the new slave?" I snapped with a scoff.

"Yes Master Stone" They chorused again.

"I want you Delia to teach everything she needs to know about being a slave" I said with a smirk.

"Yes Master Stone" Delia nodded her head immediately.

"Is there any of the slaves being an asshole to you, Lioness?" I turned to look at her, and saw that she looked rather sad.

"Yes Master Stone" The muscular build lady agreed.

Anger engulfed me, and I quickly flashed my fierce eyes open the more.

"What? Who dares? Who dares go against a servant of mine?" I roared in anger, and the room echoed.

"It's one of the slaves Gianna. She has refused to do her duties as a slave that she is to you, my beloved master Stone" Lioness groaned.

"I order you to behead her" I mercilessly replied.

Delia fell on her knees immediately I said those words.

"Master Stone, I plead with you on her behalf. Please, don't behead her" Delia begged on her knees.

"What is the meaning of this Delia? Why do you always plead on the behalf of those slaves? They are slaves, and should be treated as one" Lioness clenched her fist.

"I won't grant your request again Delia. You have pleaded enough on her behalf, I want her head on my diamond platter before dawn" I replied with finality in the tone of my voice.

They nodded their heads, and walked out of the room.

"Humans must all be treated like animals that they are. They deserve no mercy" I mumbled.

Madison's POV:

I sat helplessly in the cell where I was kept still crying my eyes out.

The footsteps and chains clanking drew my attention towards the door of the cell. The door was opened, and a lady walked in.

Unlike the other muscular lady, this one was really very beautiful and has a warm smile.

For the first time since I was locked up in the cell, I felt safe with her.

"Hello dear" She walked closer to me.

"Good day ma... What should I call you please?" I still spoke to her with fear.

"You don't have to be afraid my dear, I won't hurt you. You can call me Lady Delia" She softly replied.

My mouth curved into a smile for the first time in days.

"Thanks... Thank you, Lady Delia" I stuttered.

"I'm going to be your new mistress. I'll be teaching everything you need to know as a slave in Stone's castle" She politely uttered, and all I did was nod my head in agreement.

She opened the bag she was carrying, and brought out a sack dress.

"From today onwards, you'll be dressed in sack dresses" Lady Delia said, and I nodded my head in agreement.

I looked at the sack cloth, and tears circulated in my eyes.

I managed to blink rapidly until I took them back.

"Put them on sack clothes, then follow me outside immediately" Lady Delia ordered.

I took off my clothes, and put on the sack dress.

And to be honest, I looked really beautiful even in a sack dress for slaves.

Lady Delia smiled at me, and patted my hair.

"You look good even in those" She complimented me, and I forced a smile at her.

Who would know how to smile on my condition?

"What's your name by the way?" She turned her gaze at me.

"My name is Madison Adams" I snapped, and she nodded before leading me out of the room.

I followed her suit, and we walked many doors down the corridor.

I looked around the castle in awe.

"The castle is so big"

Actually, ever since I was brought in here as a slave, this is the first time I'm leaving my cell.

We walked out of the castle, straight to the field outside.

The field was so big, and there were plenty of slaves working under the sun in the field.

Am I really ready for this kind of life?

"This is the work field. Early every morning, slaves work and toil in the field" Lady Delia explained.

My hands were still chained to my back, and it was hurting so badly.

We got to the other side of the field, and I spotted the muscular lady dragging a young girl.

Fear gripped me, but I managed to get a hold of myself.

The young girl was chained in both hands and legs while the muscular lady Lioness dragged her on the bare ground bruising her already bloody body.

Lioness shoved out a sword from her scabbard, and cut off the young girl's neck.

"No...." I couldn't hold myself back anymore.

Blood splashed all over the place, and I lost consciousness immediately.
