Victoria pov...
" Let me go "
I kept struggling but each attempt I made failed .
" I did nothing wrong ,why am I being punished my lady "
" Oh you still have a sharp tongue right ,wait till am done with you ,That is if you will still have your head hanging on your neck "
" Why do you hate me so much lady Madison ,I did nothing wrong,I didn't steal anything "
Suddenly Elena rushed forward and knelt before lady Madison ,she had tears in her eyes .
" Please my lady let her go she's innocent I was with her yesterday and today ,she didn't steal anything "
" What's your name servant "
" El...ena "
" Elena ,it will be good for you if you shut your mouth and stand back ,I wouldn't mind asking Steve to flog your twenty strokes of a horse whip ,do you want that ",she looked down on Elena with her glasses hanging on her noise "
" I don't mind taking the strokes of cane but my friend is innocent ,my lady if you will allow me I smell conspiracy ,please let's investigate this matter before jumping into conclusions "
" How dare you ,so you are trying to say am lying right "
" No my lady ,am only trying to say that we should carry out some investigation please my lady don't get me ...."
Before Elena could finish her statement lady Madison landed a hot slap on her face .
" How dare you ,you dirty low life maid ,talking back at me I will make sure you don't eat or drink anything for a whole day with hard labor ,now get out of my sight "
Elena was too shock to say a word she held her cheek in her hand and stood at a corner, tears was rolling so from her eyes .lady Madison straighten up her back then turned to the guard who was standing behind me with a horse whip in his hand .
" What the hell are you waiting for hit her now "
He raised his hand and the horse whip forcefully landed on my back .
" One "
He did it again ,this time more harder
" Two "
I tried to move ,lady Madison raised her hand up and stopped him ,then she turned to look at me .
" I think you have forgotten the rules ,so let me kindly belief you on it ,when a thief is been flogged if he or she tries to move or even think of crying they the person flogging the thief will have to start again .
" What ...am innocent this is the height of injustice ,I did nothing wrong "
She didn't listen to me ,she raised her head to look at the guard waiting for her instructions .
" What the hell are you waiting for ,start again "
The servants standing behind her started murmuring among themselves .
Before I could process everything she just said the horse whip landed on my back .
" One "
He hit me again
" Two..."
I grabbed my dress so tightly so I won't make a sound ,the pain was so unbearable ,tears was rolling down my eyes ,I kept asking myself what I have done to deserve this torture and humiliation from this woman ,I heard the next count .
" Ten "
My body was almost giving up on me blood was flowing from my back suddenly she raised her hand and asked him to stop ,then she walked close to me and knelt in front of me .
" Look at you darling ,you look messed up ,you are nothing but a servant in this mansion you should have known your place other than jumping into lord Xanders bed ,I run things here ,I decide who stay and who leaves ,and you my dear has decided to be a threat to me and my niece so I have to eliminate the weed from the beautiful flowers I don't want anything bad to happen to them I hope you understand me ,just hang in there for a while ,you will soon be dead "
" I ...I... did .. nothing wrong ,why...why...do you hate me so much "
" I don't hate you Victoria ,I detest your presence ,ever since you came into this mansion lord Xander attention has been diverted ,all because of you ,he even rejected my niece Isabella all because you " She grabbed my hand and dug her nails into my skin ,I screamed out in pain "
" Oops Does it hurt a lot "
" Let me go "
" That's exactly how much I have suffered ever since you stepped into this mansion ,you should have rejected the job but No you wanted to crawl your way into lord Xander bed ,but you forget something Victoria they are other people waiting patiently for that position to become his wife "
" I don't want he ,I never wanted him , please stop punishing me "
" Lies ...even if you don't want him ,he wants you I can see it in his eyes that he wants every bit of you ,that alone is driving me crazy , Isabella is a beautiful girl ,but why would he have to settle for you why "
" Lord Xander doesn't love or want me it's just your imagination ..you are just trying so hard to find something to use against me "
" Haha...you are a smart girl don't worry in your next life you wouldn't try to make trouble for me again "
" Let me go lady Madison you are not being matured here ,I made sure to mind my business and to stay away from things that doesn't concern me please let me go "
" You manage to get yourself into trouble again, again and again it's a pity that those who tried to crawl into lord Xanders bed couldn't live to tell the story ,that's the same punishment I will give to you now "
She turned to the guard standing behind me .
" How many strokes have you flogged her "
" Ten strokes my lady "
" Good make it fast and if she tries to move you start all over again "
He raised the horse whip to hit me again ,I closed my eyes waiting to feel the impact of the whip but I hard a loud noise from behind .
" Boom!!!"
I turned to see what happens to my greatest surprised the guard that was standing behind me was thrown across the hall, he slammed his back on the wall and collapsed on the ground .lady Madison on the other hand screamed out in surprise .
" My lord "
