Lord Durham and his wife were astounded by their daughter's behavior. She had almost managed to hurt herself even more. Her nose was bleeding and the constant slaps she was giving herself made everyone second her mental well-being.She continued to scratch her skin. 'Stupid stupid' is the only word she repeatedly muttered. The couple were angrier with her husband for leaving her this way. Leaving the children knowing their mother was very unwell."Mother, I quite like sex with other men." Lady Tracy continued to laugh at her mother's horrified reaction. She then continued to call herself stupid multiple times. "William has a child with a negro girl.""Tracy!!" Lord Durham, her father warned sternly."WILLIAM MADE A NEGRO GIRL PREGNANT!!" She yelled with tears. From afar, eleven year old, Liam was overhearing everything through the slightly closed door. His heart skipped a beat, some memories came back to him some clear and some very unclear. He was only five, he did not know if it act

"My father was great man of honor. A strong lad even in his early days. A charmer, a respectable, honorable man. A hard worker, one hell of a negotiator. Affluent, independent of means and very moneyed. I reckon everyone sat here, must have been once jealous. All his mates were jealous. My father was very very uhm tolerable. May his soul Rest In Peace." Gerald Gallagher said seemingly just blabbering anything that came out of his mouth.For the past hour Master Joshua's children had been failing to say a proper speech regarding just what the type of person their father was. Lady Martha had asked if everyone to at least say a word or two even though no one wanted to. No one offered to. They just assumed they had to, Incase the lawyer was present and knowing their father. He was capable of making a trick, 'give the most to the one who seems genuine at my funeral'They knew their father was far from imbecilic, he was a cunning man who always had a plan that went past everyone's heads. "W

"But tomorrow you need to go see... Mrs. Kennedy!" Panashe told her son who was sitted in the dirt beside his mother who was getting rid of grass weeds, along with other slaves who kept to themselves, minding their own. A supervisor, walking about with his whip... randomly whistling."But why can she not come here..?" Christian frowned."Because Christian, I don't think she would like to come this side. It's better you go there alright?" She explained. "Besides, all your stationary is there and there is a lot more space for a learning environment."Christian only frowned."Mommy... can we leave? and buy a new house like grandpa.."Panashe only sighed. "Things do not work that way, Christian.""Why, Is it because my father did not want me?"Panashe felt as if the ground could just open up and swallow her. She was conflicted, how did her six year old ever come to such conclusions, it was sorely Master Joshua' s doing. It was something she really dreaded, how would she ever tell her son

At five am, Panashe's mother peeped through her curtain. She watched as William and Panashe walked down to her room, luckily she could still see what was going on. William standing in front of Panashe, he was holding her hand and whispering something. Doris, Panashe's Mother could only think... she slept with him yet again.She left her son with a housekeeper so she could go serve this white man and return at 5am thinking she would go unnoticed. Doris clicked her tongue. Thinking just how disgusting was her daughter, she could not stay away from these white Neanderthals. Now like the breeding mammal, she is. She will probably get pregnant again and expect her mother and aunt Ruth to help her.Doris could feel her anger rising... her boys had returned to Sheffield but they had promised they would visit her. In all honesty, they realized maybe visiting was a bad idea. Maybe looking for their mother was even a worse idea.Noticing how she treated Panashe, they could not help but want to

"Such an attention seeking negro..." Milton yelled leaving the room.Steadily blinking her eyes open, Panashe felt embarrassed seeing all eyes on her.She was not in the conjoined study room anymore infact it felt so comfortable. This is the most comfortable she had felt in a very long time. Trying to remember her last thought, her heart panicked.It dawned onto her that, she had received her freedom. It kept ringing like a bell, she felt as if it had all been a dream like the many other times, she would be disappointed to wake up and see no changes. Looking around her environment she found people suddenly heading out the room. Lady Martha gave her a warm smile and whispered... "William make sure she has a bath then you two can come down for dinner.""Very well, Mother!" He replied."Panashe, do you have any allergies? I'm afraid I stayed with you for half of a year but never quite got aquatinted to your preferences.."Confused, she just shook her head. With that Lady Martha closed th
