Stone's POVWith my hands tucked in my pocket, I walked down the hallway dressed up for the royal banquet. Actually, I don't always attend such parties, but I know Xavier will be there. I just want to speak to him."Master, are you sure you really want to attend this banquet? You haven't done this in years now, won't this be bringing back unwanted memories?" Emery walked behind me, and I kept mute like I wasn't listening to her.Attending this banquet will actually bring back memories to me. Unwanted memories to start with. The last time I attended the royal banquet, I did that with my wife."If you don't keep your mouth shut, I'll have you locked up and tortured in the torture room" I stared at her with disdain, and she gulped hard."I'm sorry Master" She snapped, and I rolled my eyes."I hate that word. Just keep quiet if you still appreciate the fact that you're breathing" I said, as we headed outside the castle.Emery was going to be my escort for today's event because I can't go
Stone's POVThe car drove straight into venue, and I got down from the car. My pace increased at every step, and Emery had no choice than to run after me.Of course, I didn't come here to hold hands with her. I just can't come without an escort which is why I took her.The guards at the door bowed the moment they saw me, and I rushed into the banquet hall. I was showed to the VIP, and then I spotted Xavier."That bastard" I cursed within myself as I walked up to him, but I met Karl and Derek first. They were drinking and chatting when they saw me walking towards Xavier."Stone? Are my eyes deceiving me? What the f*** are you doing here?" Karl scoffed on seeing me, and I gulped hard with the tobacco pipe in my mouth."Are you sure really know where you are? My goodness! You even came with your slut? You came so prepared. What happened Stone? How did you come here?" Derek mockingly asked, and I exhaled deeply."Where's Madison?" That was all I could say no matter how hard I tried to for
Tara's POVMy jaw dropped in shock the moment I saw Stone whose chest was bleeding. He took the bullet for this slave? But why?"Stone?" I called out, and rushed to kneel beside him. I was so shocked. Is he related to the slave girl? No f****** way! He can't be related to her."You slut! How dare you? How dare you do this to Stone?" Xavier slapped my cheek hard, and I stared at him with widened eyes."You slapped me, Xavier?" I freaked out, and he pushed me roughly. I landed my back on the car, and groaned in pains."When will you stop being so toxic, Tara? Are you not tired of this deceitful relationship we are keeping? Have you not seen that I don't have any feelings for you? You better pray hard. Pray hard that nothing happens to Stone" Xavier rushed to the stupid slave, and helped her into the car."Mad... Madison! How is she? Is she... Is she okay?" Stone who was still groaning in pains still worried about the slave."Stop talking Stone. You just have to go with me to the herbali
Tara's POVI rushed into the mansion, and straight to my room. I was shivering in fear.The thought of how dreadful Stone is made me so uncomfortable. I ran straight to the bathroom in my room, and washed my face roughly with the water running from the sink."Ma'am Tara? Would you like some sandwiches?" I heard Mia's voice from the room."Hell no, you @sshole" I yelled, banging my fist on the wall with fury and fear mixed together."Are you sure you're alright, Miss Tara? Is there something you want?" She continued asking."Why the f*** are you being a pest, Mia? Are you stupid, huh? I just told you I don't want anything. Don't you have brains?" I shouted coldly at her. Shortly, I heard the door close. What the hell did you do Tara? What if Stone doesn't make it out alive? He'll have my entire existence wiped off by his good for nothing soldiers.***Mia walked out of the room with a gloomy look. She kept on mumbling within herself when she met my father heading towards the stairs."
Tara's POVThe moment I saw my Dad walk into the room, I sprang up and rushed to him shivering in fear. I hugged him tight, and he stroked my hair softly."What is the matter, Tara? Who dares make my daughter so sad? Your tears alone are precious Tara, and you're not supposed to waste them" Father continued flattering me, and I found myself smiling. What the f***? I shouldn't even try to smile, not after the mess I just created."Father, I don't know what to do anymore. This is really making me so sad" I pouted my mouth while my father dropped the pistol he was holding on the bed, and knelt right in front of me. I was lying on the ground."What happened, Tara?" He asked tenderly, and I sniffed hard."Father, we need to be prepared for anything because I shot Stone" I summoned courage before speaking."What? You shot Stone? Why would you do that?" He widened his eyes in shock, and I gulped nervously. I don't need anyone to tell me that what I did will bring us lots of trouble."I'm sor
Lady Delia's POV"MMH… MMH" Zara hummed as she shook her head negatively while I exhaled deeply."Oh please help me Zara, you can't keep doing this to yourself" I cried out, and she sniffed hard.She burst into tears again, and I cupped my forehead in my palms with so much sadness."You are not helping me Zara, if you keep doing this then I will have no choice than to get the doctor here. I know you don't want to take those bitter medicines, do you?" I asked even if I knew she wasn't going to answer me.Furthermore, I picked up the glass containing the milkshake from the table, and tried to feed her with it. She shook her head in disagreement, and slapped the glass off."Zara?" I cried out again, and she turned her back at me covering herself up with the duvet and sobbing.She was already looking so thin, and her eyes were red because she had been crying for a long time.This is all Stone's fault, if he didn't listen to the guards who had told him that Madison stole the jewelry, then
Madison's POVMaster Lucien stared at me with his eyes widened. I guess he was shocked to hear me disagree with him. Honestly, this is a first because I dare not disagree with him. I was almost losing my courage, but I had to stand by my decision."What did you just say, Madison?" He shook his head in disbelief, and I gulped nervously."I don't… I don't want to go back to the castle with you. Master, I know that you badly want to strangle me to death right now, but I still don't want to go back to the Castle just yet. I'm really comfortable being here" I sniffed hard, and he banged his fist on the table. He groaned holding his chest for a few minutes.I bent over to him when u couldn't stand watching him in pain."Master Stone, are you okay? Where does it hurt?" I asked with so much concern. Why the f*** Am I concerned about him after everything I went through in his hands?"My chest… it hurts in my chest" He growled. What was I even going to do to help him calm down? What the hell is
Madison's POVHe sucked on lips hungrily, and I was stunned to the bones. I didn't know what to do… should I return the kisses, or should I just push him away. I hate to say this, but I was beginning to enjoy the kiss. Furthermore, I found myself kissing him back. He grabbed my butt, and fondled it roughly.He carried me up, and I folded my legs around his waist. Oh, God! What the f*** am I doing? I wanted to stop, but I still don't know why I continued.He dropped me on the bed gently, and before I knew it, he was already on top of me. Kissing my neck was the best turn on for me, and I couldn't help but moan."Master… master Xavier… we… we should stop" I said. Okay! I didn't just say it, it came out like a moan. Gosh! I hate that I'm becoming this loose.He got more aggressive, and his hands went straight to the zipper of my dress. The dress yanked off my body, and he unhooked my bra. I was in front of him naked except for the panties I had on.He fondled my br*asts, and I moaned wit
