Chapter 65: Chapter 65

Emery's POV

I clinked the glass of wine I was holding with Rodolfo smiling broadly.

"This is the best day of my life. I've never been this happy for a long time, and now I can happily be here again as the one and only master's favorite slave" I married, and Rodolfo nodded his head in agreement.

"I'm very happy for you Emery, but don't you feel guilty after doing what you did to her. She would have been killed you know?" Rodolfo exhaled deeply.

"That was the plans young man. I had wanted the Master to kill her, she should consider herself lucky that Master Xavier decided to take her to the valleys" I smirked rather mercilessly.

"I know I should be feeling this way, but I kind of feel guilty. I don't know, but I feel sorry for her. You heard Master Xavier, right? He said they were still going to punish her in the valleys?" Rodolfo widened his eyes.

"She deserves all the punishments in the world for trying to steal my precious position from me thinking I'll let her be. She's mistaken because I would have done worst to her if what I planned for her didn't happen" I sipped the drink again.

"I'm sure you're happy that you've gotten your position back, but what if the Master finds out that you're actually the one who conspired all these, do you think you'll make it out alive?" Maria snapped at me, and I glared at her with hatred written all over my face.

"Will you keep quiet Maria? You're nothing but a joy killer. Whoever told you that you're allowed to talk here? I don't need your opinion. Besides, how will the master find out if one of you won't open your big mouth to tell him? If I'm going down, I'm taking you guys down with me" I pointed at them with a fierce glare before walking away.

I walked down the hallway with excitement written all over my face. I definitely can't lose my position as the master's favorite slave to anyone.

"Maybe I should stop by at the master's chambers" I thought, and diverted to the other way leading to the master's chambers.

"Argh... The devil is here" I mumbled with a grit immediately I saw Axel standing in front of the master's chambers.

"What are you doing here, Emery?" He asked with a blunt gaze, and I rolled my eyes.

"What else? I'm here to see the Master, or have you forgotten suddenly who I am?" I fired back at him, and he smirked.

"Do you have any appointment with the Master? If you don't, I'll advise you to leave as soon as possible because he's not in a good mood" Axel spoke with a warning tone, and I arched my eyebrows.

"Not in a good mood? Why? Anyway, you know I can cheer the Master up, why don't you let me in?" I convincingly replied, and to my surprise, he let me into the chambers.

With smiles all over my face, I walked into the dark chamber.

"Master Stone? Your humble slave is here"I announced my arrival since I couldn't see a thing in the dark room.

"Get out" I heard the cold and blank voice of the master. He yelled at me, and goosebumps ran down my spine. Drops of tears rolled down my cheeks, and I ran back to the door in dismay. The Master has never shouted at me the way he just did, and that made me to marvel. What exactly could be wrong with him?

Is he feeling bad because of Madison? That can't be, right?

Madison's POV

I kept staring at the servants in shock. Wasn't I supposed to be in the fields as a slave that I am? Why am I being served breakfast in bed?

"Uhm... where am I?" I cleared my throat noisily, and asked with arched eyebrows.

"Miss, you're at the valleys third mansion" They chorused as though it was a song.

"Valleys third mansion? Where the heck is that? I mean, how did I get here? Why can't I remember the reason why I'm here?" I gulped hard, and they smiled a little.

"You look very tired miss. I think the most important things for you to do now is to eat, and take your bath then you can rest" One of them replied, and I stared at her with shock.

"Eat? Rest? Why? Am I not supposed to work in the fields or..." I was still speaking when they shook their heads on disagreement.

"We won't want to lose out jobs, and if you want to help us, please do eat and rest" They said before walking out of the furnished room.

I got up from the bed, and brought the food closer to myself. The aroma of the food alone made my mouth water. I don't think I've ever eaten something richly made as this.

"Is this a dream? Oh, God! If this is a dream, I don't wish to wake up from it" I said a silent prayer before pouncing on the food.

I ate hungrily because I've been starving for God knows how long. I was still wondering what they meant by I'm in the valleys third mansion.

Actually, I've heard of the valleys, and I've been there. But what does the other words "third mansion" mean. Why would a slave like me be taken to a mansion? Have they forgotten my status that they referred to me as Miss? Or did Master Stone really killed me, and I'm here in heaven? Does that even make sense?

I was still eating hungrily when the door was thrown open widely. To my utmost surprise, I saw Master Xavier, one of the master's of the valleys. The spoon I was holding in my hand fell off, and beads of hot sweat ran down my face. I'm f***d!

Fear gripped me, and I quickly went on my knees shivering in fear. Is today going to be my death day?
