Chapter 23 Five minutes only
Lucien’s POV:
I glared at the slave with anger written boldly on my face. I hate it dearly when I’m being kept waiting by a slave I bought with my own money.
“How dare you keep me waiting?” I yelled at her, and she stared at me dizzily. She collapsed into my arms.
I pushed her off my body, and she fell on the hard ground. Is this a plot so that she won’t do what I called her here for? Thoughts filled my mind. I left her on the bare ground, and walked to the rocky chair at the other side, and sat down.
I turned my gaze to her, and shook my head in annoyance. Furthermore, I should probably get the guards to take her to where she’s supposed to be going with me, or should I talk to lady Delia to wake her up?
Ever since she stepped into this castle, she’s been nothing but trouble. I guess it’s always in her nature to cause problems, and I hope she doesn’t piss me off because if she does, I won’t hesitate to have her killed.
“Killing her will be pointless, I haven’t had enough of her body. Having her beheaded, will only be a loss of my money. Her stepfather sold her to me, and the least I can do is to make sure that I use her until the money is completed” I smirked remorselessly.
Furthermore, I didn’t wake her up from the ground she was lying neither did I help carry her up to a comfortable place. I left her on the cold ground.
“She’ll definitely wake up after her stupidity display here” I turned my gaze away with a loud sigh.
I hate her because if I don’t, I might end up softening my heart towards her. Ever since I saw her, I’ve decided to have so much hatred for her if I don’t want her to make my heart soft.
I kept on pacing around waiting impatiently for her to wake up. Honestly, I don’t want to believe I’m actually waiting for her to wake up instead of waking her up with a cane.
Madison’s POV:
I slowly opened my eyes yawning tiredly. My vision was blurry, but I could dictate that I was in the Master’s chambers.
“Mona….” I called out, and cupped my forehead with my palms.
“Get your dirty self up there” The scary voice brought cold shivers down my spine, and I quickly jerked up.
“The Master?” I creeped out, and started shivering. What exactly was I doing on the ground? Did I black out in front of him? What is he going to do to me? Is he going to push me out? Hot sweats rolled down my face.
“I’m sorry Master. I didn’t mean to….” I fell on my knees, but he waved at me gesturing me to shut my mouth, and I did immediately.
“You should be thankful to God, or to whatever it is that you worship that I’m in a good mood, if not you would be dead by now” He replied with a hoarse voice, and fear gripped me, but I managed to get a hold of myself. His face was so scary even though he looks so handsome. He was fully prepared, and I wondered where he was going to.
“Master, you called me” I said those words with a groan because all I wish right now is to punch him hard on the face.
He stared at me with extreme displeasure, and I gulped harder than ever. Why does he hate me this much?
“Yes, get out of here. Get ready, we’re going somewhere” He turned his face away backing me.
“We’re going out? Where to?” I didn’t realize when that slipped off my mouth. I covered my mouth with my palms immediately.
“Get ready. We’re leaving in the next ten minutes, but you have only nine minutes left” He said those words with finality in the tone of his voice. I struggled up, and limped out of his room.
Where is he taking me to? Why should I go to wherever it is with him? Why me? Lots of questions kept running through my mind. Are they going to slaughter me for collapsing beside the Master? Oh, no! Why did I even have to collapse.
I was still walking down the hallway absentmindedly when I heard a commotion. I saw many other slaves dressed in their sack clothes, and with ashes poured on their messy hairs. They were walking out of the castle in a queue. My eyes widened in shock, and I wondered where they were being taken to.
“Are they going to be killed today?, Why do they have ashes on their hairs?” I thought out loud still staring at them forgetting the fact that I wasn’t supposed to keep the Master waiting.
I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I flinched in fear turning around. Furthermore, I breathed heavily in relief when I saw that it was Mona.
“What are you staring there for? Shouldn’t you be getting ready, or do you have a death wish?” She spoke calmly, and I exhaled deeply.
“What’s going on, Mona? Where are they taking them to? Are they going to be slaughtered?” I cried out with anxiety.
“Is there anything worse than being slaughtered?” She asked with sorrow in the tone voice, and I grabbed her wrist.
“What? Are you trying to tell me that they are going to face something that is worse than being slaughtered?” I was visibly shaking in fear, and she nodded her head while I bit my fingernails shivering.
“They’re not just the only ones who are going to face it, the master ordered you to get ready, right?” She asked, and I quickly nodded my head.
“You have only 5 minutes left, and I just want you to know that you all are heading to the same place” She broke down, and tears circulated in my eyes.
I wanted to say something, but I couldn’t say a word…..
