Chapter 52 The punishment
Lucien’s POV
I stared at Lady Delia in confusion the moment she called out the familiar name. She narrowed her eyes at me looking really shocked, and I wondered why.
“Are you trying to tell me that you don’t know who Madison is?” She scoffed, and I shook my head negatively.
“If truly I know who she is, do you think I’d be asking you? I have so many slaves in the Castle, and you don’t expect me to know all their names. Why should I know the names of my slaves? They are just s*x toys, and nothing more” I snapped with a mischievous smirk.
“Come to think of it Lucien, this girl actually helped our Zara smile. You should know her name, if not for anything, then for the fact that she made your daughter smile” Lady Delia replied, and I rolled my eyes.
“Madison. So that’s her name? Even if she helped our Zara smile, she still disobeyed my orders. She has to pay for disobeying me” I turned my gaze away again.
“What?” Lady Delia widened her eyes in shock, and I rolled my eyes.
“Are you serious Stone? You really want to punish her? She actually helped Zara instead of doing harm to her. Zara spoke because of her after so many years, and she also made Zara smile as well. You of all people should know that it’s a very welcomed development” Lady Delia sharply replied.
“I know that she did something that have always wanted, and that’s the reason I haven’t had her killed. That doesn’t mean that she’s free from my wrath” I snorted, and Lady Delia shook her head.
“Lucien? Are you going to punish her?” She asked in a low tone, and I could sense that she was definitely not welcoming my idea of punishing the slave.
“I don’t know if I should call that a punishment, but because I’m going to impose it on her, I think it’s a punishment” I smirked at her, and Lady Delia glared at me.
“You’re going to impose on her? What has she done to deserve that? She has only helped out. She did something that all the doctors we’ve been visiting for the past five years could not do” Lady Delia cried out.
“Like I said Lady Delia, I’ll make sure that for your sake I won’t have to give her much trouble, but that’s not a guarantee that she won’t have to do what I’ll tell her to” I smiled a little before frowning my face again.
Lady Delia walked out of my chambers, and Rodolfo walked in almost immediately she left.
“You called me Master” He bowed at me, and I sneered at him with a nod.
“Call the slave Madison” I said those words with a mean voice, and he rushed out of my chambers immediately to fetch her.
“She’ll definitely pay for disobeying my orders even if she helped me” I thought within myself.
Madison’s POV
My jaw dropped the moment Rodolfo told me that the Master wanted to see me in his chambers immediately. My legs became jelly, and my jaw numb. Cold shivers ran down my spine because I was sure that whatever might be the reason of the Master summoning me is not good at all.
“Come on Mady. You don’t have to be scared. I’m sure he won’t order for you to be killed since his daughter pleaded” Mona patted my shoulder, and I nodded my head before walking out with the guard who was waiting impatiently for me.
I followed him unwillingly with my heart racing rapidly. It was pounding so hard that I even felt someone else could hear my heartbeat.
I held my breath the moment we got to the master’s doorstep.
Rodolfo walked into the dark room, and I followed him still shaking in fear. Is he going to ask me to undress and satisfy him until I pass out for disobeying the orders, and entering his daughter’s room. Is he going to ask the guards to whip me like I was flogged by Emery? Cold chills ran down my spine as I stood in the dark chambers.
The worst part of it is that the Master might be standing right in front of me, and I can’t see that because the chamber is so dark. I was still lost in my thoughts when I heard the Master clear his throat noisily smacking me out of my thoughts.
“How dare you?” His cold voice struck me hard, and I managed to get a hold of myself. Is this how difficult it is to be a slave? I have to always be very afraid to do anything because I might just get into trouble.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“I’m sorry Master” I didn’t even realize when I spoke up, because I didn’t want to incur his wrath. I know exactly how it will be if he decides to punish me.
“Shut up. How dare you speak when the Master is speaking?” I recognized the voice to be Rodolfo’s voice.
“You dare disobey my orders. No one has ever stepped their foot into that room, but because you consider yourself fearless, you decided to dare me, you wench!” He cursed, and I gulped hard.
“I’m sorry master. I was just curious because I heard some noise coming from the room. I don’t know that we’re not supposed to enter the room” I went on my knees crying, and sweating profusely.
“Is that an excuse?” I heard him smirk. I know it was a deadly smirk to start with, and that increased my fear.
The light was turned on immediately, and I saw him standing right in front of me with his muscular built body covering my shadow. My heart sank, and I staggered backwards before landing my back on the wall.
He grabbed my arm, and I gasped in shock trying to hold myself back, but I just couldn’t stop myself from shivering.
“Now you must pay the price” He mouthed those words to my hearing. Tears circulated in my eyes because I knew he was going to get down with me.
“I’m… I’m… Sorry….” I stammered trying to get my voice back.
“You’ll have to take care of Zara from now on, and you’ll make sure she begins to talk and walk if not…. You’ll be beheaded. That’s your punishment” He growled, and I widened my eyes in shock…..
Is that even a punishment? What a relief!
