Chapter 63: Chapter 63
Victoria pov...
I walked out of the mansion into the garden then sat on the floor, and burst into tears, I couldn't hold it back anymore, I felt a huge pain in my chest, I continued to weep until I became exhausted, so I sat close to the tree in front of me and rested my head on its t, suddenly I had someone's voice from behind.
" Why are sitting down here all alone "
I looked around but couldn't find anyone.
" Am not in the mood for games, can you just come out from your hideout " I murmured to myself "
I closed my eyes to sleep just then someone jumped down from the tree," Oh my God you scared me "
" Am sorry, I always like sitting down here whenever am less busy to receive fresh air "
" Okay, presume you are a guard here right "
" Yes I am " He sat close to me with a smile on his face "
" By the way my name is Elisa "
" Okay am Victoria "
"I know you are the one sleeping with lord xander "
" What!" I became speechless by his words "
" Forgive me if I sound rude but am not the type that can't speak or can't say what they heard from others "
" So what did you hear, please tell me I want to know " at that point, I was ready for any form of insult that will come from him but I was surprised he looked calmer, he adjusted his shirt and then sat up straight.
" I heard some of the maids discussing you claiming that you are a witch, and a whore who slept with both brothers "
" And you believed them " I tried so hard to fake a smile on my face but I couldn't because the more people called me names the more it breaks me "
" Why will I believe them, when I don't know you in person, I don't just believe what people tell me Victoria, but with the conversation I just had with you, it shows you are more like a decent woman "
" Why would you say that When I have already been called names "I lowered my head to the ground in shame
" Am a man of principles Victoria, I think before I act, I don't just jump to a conclusion because some bunch of lowlife maids decided to waste their time to gossip " I narrowed my eyes at his words what does he mean by lowlife maids.
" Hello...if you have forgotten you are all so a guard in this mansion "
" Are you sure about that Victoria " A smirk appeared on his face which I didn't notice, but with the way he was sounding I could tell that something about him wasn't right " With the way he carried himself I felt he wasn't a mere guard "when he noticed the awkward silence he quickly changed the topic?
" I noticed what happened today at the mansion, lady akasha humiliating you in the presence of the maids "
' It's nothing I understand, I was going off my boundaries it wasn't a crime for her to make me know my place "
" Your place is where your heart is Victoria Stop being the subject of ridicule among your mates "
" What do you mean by that, I can't fight or insult her she's a vampire, and am nothing but a human "
" I know victoria, but you should know your place in his heart, if he loves you then he should fight to win you, you made a mistake by confessing your love for him at first Victoria, make him beg to be with you not the other way round, Xander loves you no doubt but makes him miss every bit of you, make him want you more Victoria."
" That's over now as much as my heart is shattered I can't do anything about it, I simply have to stay in my space and mind my business thank you very much for your advice Elisa but I have made up my mind to mind my business and do my job after all everyone knows that a slave bought to the mansion as lord xander blood supplier " I burst into laughter with tears still flowing from my eyes " I quickly used my back palm to wipe my eyes then stood up to leave.
" Thank you so much for your time Elisa it's getting late and I have to go back into the mansion " suddenly I heard Elena's voice from behind and I quickly turned towards her direction.
' Victoria is that you "
" Yes. Elena what are you doing here" she was holding the lamp above her head "
" Nothing just came here to get some fresh air, let's go "
" Who were you talking to "She turned to see if she could find anyone around but no one was in sight " Victoria was surprised at the sudden disappearance of the person she was talking with "
" Let's go please it's getting late "
" Anyway lord Xander has been asking to have a word with you, his still waiting for you in our room "
" Why is he still waiting for me? I don't what to talk to him "
" I understand but you have to hear him out believe me when I say he hasn't stepped out of our chambers since you walked out on him, please just listen to him okay, and hear him out I couldn't tell him anything because I wasn't in the position to say a word, please girl let's go " I don't know why but Elena always have a way to make me happy, so I followed her back into our chambers when I arrived I met lord xander pacing to and fro in the room.
" My lord you sent for me "
" Why...lord xander took a deep breath the continued "why are hurting me Victoria what's with the attitude "
" Nothing my lord " He pulled me to the wall and tried to kiss me but I immediately stopped him "
" I prefer us speaking without getting intimate my lord "
" Talk to me Victoria your silence is killing me what happened "
" Nothing my lord please if this is all you want to say then I would love to go to bed now good night " I tried to walk past him but he pulled me back and then slammed my back on the wall.
" Now Answer me Victoria..what's the problem 'I couldn't hide it anymore I have to voice out and tell him everything that happened but first I needed to know the truth "
" I have a question to ask you lord xander and all I want is the truth and nothing but the truth "
" Okay am all ears, I promise to tell you the truth " he placed his hands in his trouser pocket waiting patiently to hear my question for him "
" Did you tell lady Akasha that am a slave "?
The room suddenly became awkwardly silent lord xander didn't say a word for a while then he opened his mouth to speak
" Yes I did, but it was a long time ago " my heart was shattered into a million pieces when he said those words to me.
