Chapter 18 Cold Master
Emery’s POV:
Maria walked closer to my bed with the glass of water I requested for. She dropped the glass on the stool beside the bed.
“Emery? Here is the glass of water you asked for” She tapped me, and I groaned in pains.
“Don’t you dare poke me! Can’t you see that I’m in pains?” I yelled at her, and she gulped nervously.
“I’m sorry, but you know I warned you about this when you said you wanted to punish the new slave. You should have just listened to me, but no! You’re way too stubborn” Maria scolded me, and I glared hard at her.
“What kind of friend are you, Maria? Shouldn’t you be trying to console me instead of condemning me?” I shouted at her, and she shrugged.
“I know that this was dangerous. Now you’ve been mercilessly flogged by your worst enemy Axel. He must be in jubilation by now” Maria added, and I gritted my teeth to her hearing.
“I hate that Axel so much, he must be one of the reasons why the Master punished me.” I made for the glass, and drank some water.
Actually, I and the guards who were involved in the incident were severely flogged by that wicked Axel.
“I think you should stay off that slave’s part. I don’t know why you keep on getting yourself involved in issues concerning the slave” Maria scoffed, and I grabbed her collar with the last strength in me.
“Shut the f*** up Maria! If you’re not going to say anything useful, I don’t see any reason why you should open that pit you call a mouth” I spoke spitefully.
“What? This is actually what got you into trouble with the Master. Aren’t you worried you might lose your title as the Master’s favorite slave? If that happens then we’re done for because we’ll go back to working hard as slaves, and putting on sack dresses like the other slaves out there” Maria freaked out.
“I won’t let that happen. I can’t lose my title as the Master’s favorite slave, nothing will make me go back to being a filthy slave or go back to toiling in the field and cowsheds” I groaned as I managed to lie on the bed.
“Then stay off that slave. Didn’t you see how the Master carried her on his back? That is to tell you how special she is to him and…” Maria was still speaking when I shut her up with a resounding slap.
“Shut your mouth Maria. She’s never, and will never ever be special to the Alpha. I’m the only one who he cares about not that girl” I gritted my teeth while Maria held her cheeks staring at me in shock.
Madison’s POV:
I slowly opened my eyes. My vision was quite blurry, so I couldn’t tell where exactly I was. I tried to lift my hand, but I felt so much pains.
“Where… Where am I?” I managed to speak. I wasn’t speaking to anyone because the room in question was dark, I can’t even see anyone.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Furthermore, I managed to get up from the bed despite the excruciating pains I was feeling. Ever since I got into this castle, all I feel in my life is pains. I can’t remember the last time I smiled because there’s absolutely nothing to smile about.
I tried to get up, that was when I recalled that my legs were actually burnt. Furthermore, I can’t even stand on my own because the bruises were still very fresh. But where the heck am I? Was I thrown back into the empty cold cell? That’s impossible because this room seems hotter.
“Lady Delia! Mona!!” I called out, but I lost my voice, so my voice can be barely heard.
“Shut up” A cold emotionless voice hit me, and I felt like I was pierced in the chest. The voice was so cold, and I could tell whose voice can be this remorselessly.
“Master?” I went on my knees immediately even if it was hurting me so much. I can’t get into his trouble too, because he won’t even think twice to punish me even if I’m just recovering from the hell I went through in the hands of his mistress.
The dimmed light were turned on, and I saw him standing very close to me. I flinched in fear, I never thought he was that close to me.
“I guess you’re fine now. Get out of my chambers” He blurted out like I was some piece of wood. I tried to get up, but I just couldn’t get myself up from the ground where I was kneeling.
After few minutes of struggling without any success, his voice hit me again. This time it was merciless.
“What are you still kneeling there for? Don’t let me repeat myself” He yelled at me, and tears rolled down my cheeks. I wanted to tell him that I couldn’t stand, but I don’t know why words refused to come out of my mouth.
He got up immediately, and walked straight to me. He landed a dirty slap on my cheeks, and I groaned in pains. Why is my life so useless?
“I can’t… I can’t walk Master” I managed to speak to him even if tears didn’t let me say a word.
“Then crawl away” His words smacked my lips closed…
