Chapter 22 In the master’s bossom
Madison’s POV:
Mona sat right beside me applying some ointment on my already healing feet. Honestly she’s been more than a friend to me.
“How is your feet doing right now? Are you feeling any better?” Mona broke the silence with her questions, and I managed to nod my head in agreement.
“I’m feeling much better now, Mona. I don’t know what would have been of me if you and Lady Delia didn’t intervene for me” I spoke with a teary voice, and the memories of what happened filled my mind.
“Just promise me you always tell me when you are in trouble. I see you like my sister, and I wouldn’t want you to get hurt. I was surprised as well because the Master stood up for you, I’ll be honest with you this is the very first time he has done something like that” Mona lowered her voice, and I stared at her in confusion.
“I’m confused myself, because I didn’t expect him to stand up for me. I know that he doesn’t like me, and I know that he will do anything it takes to hurt me. I’m just a payment for the debt my stepfather got from him. Furthermore, I’m just a slave, I never expected the master to treat me the way he did” I replied with furrowed eyebrows. Mona is right, he even slapped Emery just because of me, I heard she’s his best s*x slave. For that reason, she was treated specially. But why did he slap her because of me?
“The master is mysterious, I know that I’ve been here for a long time. But I assure you that there are things I don’t know about him, and there’s this one that no one is allowed to enter except Lady Delia” Mona whispered to me, and I bit my lips staring at her while lost in thoughts.
“There’s even that no one is allowed to enter except Lady Delia? Why is that? I don’t mean to interfere, but I just really can’t help it. Why would there be a secret room in the Castle?” I thought out loud, and Mona rolled her eyes.
“I don’t know anything about it, and I can swear to you that I don’t want to know anything about it. I’m telling you this so that you always stay out of trouble, the master is merciless. If you do anything that irritates him, he won’t hesitate have you beheaded. Thank goodness that cruel Lioness travelled if not she definitely will convince the Master to deal with you” Mona snapped, and I gulped hard. The thought of the wicked lady Lioness got me shaking in fear.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“I wish she’ll never come back. She’s so mean and heartless, a direct opposite to Lady Delia. I don’t know why she hates me so much, I can’t also tell why the master hates me as well” Tears circulated in my eyes, and I tried to blink it in, but it ended up rolling down my face.
“My goodness! Why are you crying? I don’t like it when you cry, you should be strong because this Castle is not a place for the weak. If I haven’t learned anything in life, I’ve learned to be strong ever since I saw myself in this horrible place. I know that is hard for you to adapt, but I also want you to know that this is just the beginning, you shouldn’t keep crying and sulking” Mona held my hands, and I ran into her arms still crying.
Just then, we heard a knock on the door. We disengaged the hug immediately. The door was thrown open, and the Master’s guard Rodolfo walked in. Mona quickly stood up, and glared at him.
“I think they are not in good terms” I thought within myself. Rodolfo’s voice smacked me out of my thoughts immediately.
“The Master awaits you in his chambers. DO NOT keep him waiting” Came Rodolfo’s deep voice.
The smiles in my face vanished immediately. I kept wondering if I was jumping from frying pan to the fire.
As soon as Rodolfo gave me the message from the Master, he walked out of the room. Fear gripped me, and I turned to Mona with my eyes all teary. Mona held my hands with a faint smile on her face.
“Mona, what are they going to do to me this time? Is he going to hurt me like he did the other time? Who knows what I’m going to go through this time?” I couldn’t help, but cry helplessly. Now I know that there are more troubles associated with the Master summoning my presence.
“I assure you Madison, there is nothing you won’t be able to endure. This is our fate, and we will surely sail through it. Just bear it in mind that I’m right outside here, I’ll always be and your side” Mona patted my back. Her words alone was a big encouragement to me.
“You should go Madison, the master doesn’t like his time being wasted. I don’t want you getting on his bad side already” Mona said, and I quickly stood up. I didn’t hesitate to run out of the room.
Getting the master angry will be the end of my life. I know that life has been tough for me in this Castle, but I still don’t want to lose my wife no matter what. I just hope he doesn’t say something that will ruin my life forever.
Furthermore, I got to the Master’s chamber’s door. Likewise, I took a deep breath before knocking on the Master’s door twice. My heart was beating so fast that I think anyone beside me could hear it pounding.
I grabbed the doorknob, and opened the door. Walking into the dark room, I kept staring around because I couldn’t see anything. Fear gripped me the more, who knows he might be standing right in front of me as we speak. I wanted to say something, but words refused to come out of my mouth.
The light was turned on, and there he was standing in front of me. He was glaring at me with hatred written all over his face.
“How dare you keep me waiting?” He roared at me, and I felt dizzy immediately. I was still managing to limp, and this time he might end up cutting off my leg.
I couldn’t control myself anymore, I collapsed in his arms…..
