Chapter 19 Master Stone
Madison’s POV:
“Then crawl away” He sneered with disgust all over his face. My jaw dropped in shock immediately he said those words. How would I be able to crawl with all the sore all over my body.
Anyway, I don’t have any choice because he’s my Master, and I can’t disobey him if I value my life. I nodded my head with a faint smile. Those smiles are actually sadness, I’ve never really had any true smile ever since I stepped my feet into my ruthless Master’s castle.
I went down, and started crawling even if it was so difficult for me. He was focused with the scroll he was holding, and reading.
I continued crawling even if I had to cut my knee when I was trying to crawl. I grabbed the doorknob, and crawled out of the chamber.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Crawling to my room is definitely going to be the most difficult thing for me to do considering the fact that it was faraway.
Tears circulated in my eyes, and slowly started flowing down my cheeks. I sat on the bare ground looking at my burnt feet. It was badly wounded, and I wondered when I’ll be able to walk again.
I sat at the hallway for few hours, but no one came to help me. The other slaves kept walking past me without even listening to my pleadings.
“Madison?” A familiar voice, and turned around immediately to see Mona rushing to me. She knelt beside me in tears.
“Mona?” I hugged her tightly feeling secured to have her beside me.
“What happened, Madison? Why are you sitting here? Why are you sitting on the bare ground?” She cried out patting my messy hair.
“I couldn’t walk. I tried, but I failed each time” I sniffed hard.
“No one helped you? They are all so cruel” She snorted with a shrug.
“I didn’t even see the Master’s guards. I’m wondering where they all are, I’m sure if they were here, they would have helped me” I scratched my head.
“They’re all at the court. The Master is having a bargain with his debtors at the court” She replied, and I gulped helplessly.
“The court?” I narrowed my eyebrows, and she nodded her head. She helped me get to my room, and helped me lie on the bed.
“Thank you so much Mona, I wonder what I would have done without you by my side. I don’t know if I would have been able to survive if you hadn’t called for help for my sake” I hugged her tightly.
“You’re my sister, and I love you so much” She replied with a smile.
Emery’s POV:
I dressed up in my usual queenly attire, and headed straight to the fields. She must be thinking that I’m doing with her… Madison should get ready for the worst.
As I walked down the hallway, the other slaves made way for me to pass. I’m happy I still have my respect all to myself.
Furthermore, I got to the field, and met the other slaves working at the field. Mateo was standing at the other side inspecting their works. I looked around, and didn’t see her in the fields.
I was carrying a nylon containing some goodies especially rice cakes. They happen to be Mateo’s favorite.
You must be wondering why I’m being kind to Mateo, right? Since she has decided to make the master raise His hands on me, I’ve also made my own decisions, and that is to make her life miserable for good.
“Mateo?” I called in the sweetest voice. He’s the only one who can make my plans work, so I have to make use of him to be able to make that girls suffer.
He turned to me with furrowed eyebrows because he never thought I would come anywhere close to the fields.
“Emery, what the heck are you doing here? Are you sure that you didn’t miss the road? I can’t believe you are the one standing in the field right now” He scoffed, and I smirked.
“Whoever said I can’t come to the field? Of course, I’m allowed to come to the field, I’m a slave too, have you forgotten?” I forced a smile at him.
“I don’t believe you. Tell me, what exactly brought you here? I know you too well, Emery. I know how much you hate working in the field, and I haven’t forgotten how you pleaded with the master to stop you from working in the fields” Mateo scoffed.
“Whatever! Anyway I think there’s someone missing in the field” I narrowed my eyebrows while he shook his head.
“What do you mean by that? When did you start counting the slaves, and knowing that someone is absent?” Mateo stood in akimbo.
“Enough of the sarcasm Mateo. Fine! You know very well that I came here for a reason. So why don’t you just go straight to business instead of talking about things that are not necessary?” I scoffed, and he smirked.
“You shouldn’t think of deceiving me, Emery? What’s with the gift? What exactly do you want from me?” Mateo snapped, and I exhaled deeply.
“I want to know why Madison is not in the field today” I turned my gaze away with my fists clenched. Her name alone freaks me out.
“Is that question coming from you? Weren’t you the same person who burnt her feet?” Mateo snorted in disgust.
“Mateo, I know that you don’t like Madison as well. I’m sure that you can get the revenge that you solely desire” I chuckled.
“What are you talking about?” He furrowed his eyebrows while I patted his shoulder.
“Punish her for what she did to you. Let her work while kneeling” I smirked remorselessly, and he widened his eyes…..
