Chapter 62: Chapter 62

Victoria pov...

I was speechless by her words .how did you know am a slave?

" I believe you are not deaf and secondly you should bow your head when talking to me "

" Pak!!! " The slap echoed across the hallway, I quickly bow my head to the ground without thinking twice "

Very good I believe you are now getting used to the fact that you are nothing but a piece of shit.

" Am sorry lady akasha if I forgot my place, I am nothing but a...a..slave 'Tears continued to flow down my eyes

" Very good " Sebastian walked in and saw that lady akasha was in the mansion he quickly rushed up to her and bow his head.

" Good day lady akasha what are you going here, I mean it's a surprise to see you in our mansion"

" What's wrong with me visiting my man, besides we are getting married soon, Please Sebastian make yourself useful by taking my bags upstairs to lord Xander's room, Sebastian didn't move from where he was standing, when lady Akasha noticed his presence, she turned to look at him.

" Are you deaf?"

" No my lady "

" So what are you still doing here "

" My lady if you permit me to speak, I don't think lord Xander will be happy to see you in his room "

She smirked at his words " You have guts Sebastian how dare you talk back at me, you should be jumping for joy right now that am in a good mood, I would have request for your head this instant now take my bags to lord Xander's room immediately "

" Yes my lady " Sebastian quickly picked up the bags and took them upstairs to lord Xander's room, I was still in front of lady Akasha with my head bow to the ground without saying a word.

Lady Akasha on the other hand walked back to the couch and gracefully sat on it with her legs crossed again each other then she straightened her gown and raised her head to look at Victoria.

" All this while I left you to do whatever you wanted, I heard you are so cheap that you slept with both brothers because I don't see a reason for them to fight over a lowly slave like you '

I still didn't say anything, tears were flowing from my eyes, I clenched my fist behind my dress to put my emotions in check.

" You can't talk, anyway there is no need for that, am back now so you know your place and remain there, if you try crossing your limits I promise you a painful death, now get out "

I bow my head and quickly walked out of the room with Elena trailing behind me.

" Victoria wait up "I ignored her and continued to walk faster until I arrived at the servant's chambers, I got into our room, and Elena Followed behind me.

" Victoria wait "

" Leave me alone Elena, I don't think there is anything to talk about "

" What do you mean by that, I knew that you were once a slave "I was surprised by her statement.

" You knew all this while "

" Yeah the very day mary died, you were taking off your dress when I saw the slave mark remember? I asked you that day but you said nothing about it "

" I was scared, I thought maybe you will look down on me when you find out about it "

" How can I do that, you are my friend remember the only friend I have here "

" Thank you, Elena, but am curious how did you know about the mark "

" Well my aunty used to have one back then but poor slave she killed him "

" What are you kidding me "

" I wished I was, she was so mean to the poor boy, he became sick but passed away shortly after "

" Tsk..tsk. too bad "

" Yes dear " she immediately switched the conversation "Tell me what's going to happen between the both of you now.

" You mean who "

" Come on Victoria don't pretend you don't know who am talking about "

" oh, you mean lord Xander and me,"

" Yes what's going to happen now that, the lady akasha is back in the mansion "

" Nothing it's going to be like every normal day, work and work and get paid, mind my business and stay out of trouble "

" Are you going to give up your love just because of that bitch " she whispered into my ears

" What do you want me to do fight her, Elena it seems you might her forgotten but let me refresh your memory " I cleared my throat and turned to look at her

" Am a human and she's a pure-blooded vampire, I still love my life and am not ready to die yet, if lord xander loves me then he should stand up to her not me I hope you understand now "

" You are indeed a strong woman so many women would have started throwing tantrums by now but, my girl is the best, she quickly hugged me tightly but deep down in my heart, I felt my world had come to an end.

The day went by very fast Elena and I continued with our chores but the servants couldn't stop gossiping about what happened today in the mansion, I was going to rest my head for the day when suddenly I heard, two maids gossiping.

" You can imagine the way she was carrying herself one could think she's the lady of the house "

"Am not surprised if she ends up like Isabella and Emma, that was how they were carrying themselves until lord Xander got what he wanted from them I dumped their ass for her " Haha they both burst into laughter "

" Am glad she now know her place, Lord xander can never settle for something less " those words struck me deep into my heart, tears were threatening to fall from my eyes but I said nothing when they noticed my presence they quickly continued their chores, I entered my room but was shocked to see lord Xander sitting on my bed waiting for me "

" Where have you been Victoria "

" Good evening. lord Xander do you need nothing 'I asked formally

He was facial expression changed but he quickly switched back to his normal serious look.

" I have been waiting for you, come with me I have something for you " he got up and held my hand but I stopped him.

" Am sorry my lord but it's improper for a man to hold a woman's that his not yet married to, please if you won't mind excuse me I have an important matter to attend " I bow my head to leave but he stopped me again.

' What's wrong with you Victoria " with the way he sounding one could tell that he wasn't in the mood for jokes anymore "

" Am perfectly fine Lord xander , am just minding my business and knowing my place " He narrowed his eyes at my words.

" What do you mean knowing your place "

" Excuse me my lord I have to go finish my chores , good night "I wasn't in the mood to answer more questions I quickly ran out of my room before he could start asking me more about what happened today at the mansion.
