Chapter 97: Chapter 97

Madison's POV

Master Stone grabbed my waist, and a gasp escaped my mouth. Why is he being so possessive of me? I thought he just saw my as a slave and nothing more? Why does he sound so jealous?

“Stone, what are you doing? I thought we already agreed on this? I told you that I've fallen in love with Madison, and I want to settle down with her?” Master Xavier snorted at him, still staring at his tight grip on my waist.

Okay! I wanted to free myself, but I just couldn't. His arms were so firm, and I'm no match for his strength.

“We agreed on what? There has never been a time I agreed with you when it comes to selling Madison to you. You have no right to step into my castle just because you want to claim my slave” Master growled at him.

Everyone's eyes were on me. To think that the Master was holding me so close to himself made them surprised, but not more shocked than I am.

“Why, Lucien? Why do you sound so possessive? I thought she's just a slave to you, and of course, you won't hesitate to take money in exchange for her, why then are you being so hostage?” Xavier asked.

Master Stone scoffed, and to everyone's greatest surprise, he kissed my lips passionately, and spanked my butt in their presence.

“Did you see that? Do you know what that means? It means she's mine, and no one can take her, no matter how hard they try” He smirked at Master Xavier who was fuming angrily.

I felt sorry for him. Of course, I know he has feelings for me, even though I really can't tell the kind of feelings he has. All I know is that he would never hurt me.

“Stone, this is the only thing I've ever asked of you, and you've decided to be so stingy with it? Why? Do you love Madison?” He asked, and I widened my eyes.

“No… no he doesn't. I'm just his slave, and nothing more. Master Stone would never stoop… he'd never stoop so low” I stammered, and Xavier laughed a little.

“Is that so, Stone?” Xavier asked with narrowed eyes.

“So what if I love Madison? What would you do about that?” Master Stone asked, and I gasped.

“Master?” I called, and he turned his gaze away.

“I beg your pardon?” Master Xavier flinched, and Stone rolled his eyes.

“Follow me, Madison. Xavier leave my castle, and never come back again, especially if whatever you came back for has to do with my slave” Master Stone said, and grabbed my arm. He marched into the inner castle, holding my arm.

There was absolute quietness between us. No one said a word, and I couldn't get it off my mind… the fact that he actually kissed and asked what if he loves me? Is that even possible?

“Wake up, Mandy” I told myself.

“Madison, you can go. I don't ever want to see you anywhere close to Xavier. I'll kill you both if I see that” He spoke with jealousy in his eyes, and I nodded my head rapidly.

Furthermore, I rushed into the room while he stormed into his chambers.

“Is he jealous? Does that mean he loves me?” I bit my fingers nervously. I just know that's not possible.

Lucien's POV

I picked up my tobacco, and smoked it deeply. Balls of smoke emanated from my nostrils and mouth.

“Oh, God! Lucien, you almost told everyone that you have feelings for her” I hit my head a little.

Just then, the door was thrown open. Bianca walked in, glaring at me with hatred and anger. If only she knows that I don't have time for her whatsoever.

“What do you want, Bianca? Can't you see that I'm not wanting whatever you have to say?” I asked, blowing the smoke on her face.

“You're f***ed up, Lucien. You kissed that slave in the presence of everyone. What has come over you?” She cried out.

“What the heck is your business? Is that really why you're here? Tell me, why did you come back to the castle? I thought you already have a fiancé who's ready to take care of you?” I yelled at her, and she flinched.

“Because I still care about Lucien. I just can't get you out of my mind, no matter how much I try” Bianca cried out, and I snorted, turning my back to her.

“Is that supposed to make me feel better? I don't get it, you expect me to jump for joy?” I scoffed.

“Why are you saying all these, Lucien? Is this because of that slave? Tell me to my face, do you love her? I need to know the truth, and you should stop making me believe a lie” Bianca shouted.

“All I want is to protect her with everything and anything. I can't let her get hurt, and I care about her feelings. If that's what is called love, then yes!” It took me so much time to answer. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Are you saying you really care about that slave? Lucien, she's just a slave. You can't have anything to do with her. Have you forgotten that you're a master?” Bianca cried bitterly.

“I have that at the back of mind, and I want you to know that you should leave the castle. Whatever it is that you think might happen between the both of us. I just want you to know that I have no feelings for you anymore” I said, and turned to leave, but she grabbed my robe and fell on her knees.

“What's the meaning of this, Bianca? Why can't you just let the past be? I have nothing to do with you anymore” I tried to free myself from her grip.

“Your child is still alive, Lucien. Your child is with me…. He is alive” She wailed, and I stood in trance….
