Ezra's POV I heard footsteps and I opened my heavy eyes.I had managed to fall asleep despite the pain,the medicine Fred gave me helped a lot. The guard opened the door ."Stand up " he commanded . As if I could do that in my present situation. He walked towards me and dragged my hair."Let go, " I said. He ignored me and dragged me out. I was dragged to the compound and I sat on the floor. What is the meaning of this? The compound is where everyone passes by ,the maids and guards ,does the master want to humiliate me. " Bring the sign, " a guard said. A sign was bought and he showed it to me . "Tried to seduce the Master " was boldly written on it. The guard smirked." You are a pretty one, why do that?" He asked as he placed the sign in front of me."No one is to assist her," the guard said to his companion. I sat in the middle of the compound with a sign that said that I tried to seduce the master in front of me,what other humiliation could I possibly go th
___love makes us do crazy things ___ Chris's POV It's been a week since the incident with Ezra,I don't know what I was thinking and I certainly don't know what willed me to push her away. I was drunk was the only excuse I had. Why would she do that? She knew very well I would punish her or she thought that I would reciprocate . If I was sober it wouldn't have happened, I needed someone to keep me company but she went and ruined it. I didn't want anyone near me but strangely I wanted her company, what's wrong with me. Well I guess she learned her lesson. The masters are going to have a gathering in my mansion tomorrow. I was looking forward to it but ,each time a gathering was to be held,a master was selected to be the host. If anything goes wrong I am to blame. I called Nora(the head maid) and gave her instructions to be strict and choose only the trusted ones. Ezra should be among them but given that I heard she lost a lot of blood and was recovering, I guess
Chris POV I held Ezra's lifeless body ,she weighed nothing in my arms. What have I done to her? All she does is try to console and protect me despite all I have done to her. To think that George would want to kill me in my mansion even after I let everything go,I let everything go because of our past relationship but he still wants to kill me. I saw as George's guards stood and protected him,he planned the whole thing already,Stephen was beside him staring at the scene in shock. The healer took Ezra from my arms. She was bleeding profusely. "George!!" I roared. I know a fight might break out soon."Stop " I told my guards. "George, what's the meaning of this?" Master Felix asked angrily.George said nothing as his guards were trying to secure him. "I forgave you even when I found out you had a hand in the death of my family. Now you want to kill me to cover it up and end my father's bloodline!" I shouted at him. The commotion died down at my words. The masters looked
Chris's POV The next day my body was too weak to get out of bed,Hannah came visiting I was told,I went to meet her. Hannah embraced me happily,she requested to see Ezra when I narrated what happened to her ,she was led to the healers ,she thanked her. Hannah was scared for me ,I won't blame her, how can't I be safe in my own house."How can master George do this to you ?" She asked. I have no reply . After staying with me for a while She left in the afternoon. The masters expected that George called for a meeting at Henry's house. I attended ,we talked on how to handle this matter,if we put our forces together taking George down would be easy so we all agreed and the preparations began. George was sent a letter to resign as a master since he committed such an unforgivable act. He was given a week to resign and pay for compensation, he can't be killed but resigning and paying 100,000 gold was his fine and giving the masters two lands each was his fine for the commotion
Ezra's POV__if you let me hold your hands one more time,I won't do anything hurt you and I won't dare let you go,I will cherish you and hold you close to my heart,how true are those words__ Lady Hannah visited and thanked me for my kindness."You are one in a kind," she smiled. I was not happy but I forced a smile ,she told me that I could request for anything and I told her I didn't want anything. The master summoned me the next day to his room ,when I came in he asked me to sit and I refused."Sit, " he said again. I sat and we were staring at each other."I owe you and apologize," he said."Wait, don't apologize," I said."Why?" He asked, confused."There's no need, you did nothing wrong. I was just stupid and didn't see clearly,there is no need to thank me as well I did what anybody would do" I said."Not everyone would do that," he said."Let's not waste our strength, I just need you to let me rest ." I said."Go where ?" He asked."You asked me the first tone when I s
Chris POV"Then let's go together and I am sure that Evan would be happy to see her and we will buy a gift on the way," Hannah said."I don't think that's a good idea" I said."She will feel uncomfortable around you ,and I can say I came to thank her for saving you and you can get her a gift as well to put her at ease since there will be people there,you don't think she has just forgotten how you punished her ,so we all should go together,then if you want to go see alone that's up to you" Hannah said. Her suggestion made sense."OK" I said."But about master George it's so hard to believe, '' she said."I know I didn't want to believe it either but.. let's just not talk about it" I said and she agreed."Are you okay?" She asked worriedly. "I...i just don't know" I said sincerely. We called her friend ,whose name I learned was Gloria as she followed us. She took food stuff with her as instructed by Hannah ,so we went to a jewelry shop first. The young ladies there saw me and were
Chris POV We led traps on the way but the savages are the master of traps ,so there's a fifty Percent chance that they will fall for it. Ezra hasn't said anything to me since, and I didn't bother asking, am sure she's waiting for the war to end. If we lost the war a signal would be sent to our country and they would evacuate or stay and face the consequences of war. All arrangements were made and the next day we would begin the march .*** The next day I woke up due to the noise I was hearing outside. Most people were panicking and in their fears,some were even packing their bags to run if need be. I was not too bothered about it,I had a safe house elsewhere. I have trained myself well after the fight with the black wolves so I am sure I won't be easily overpowered. I went to the bathroom and took a nice relaxing bath. I don't know the next time I will be able to bathe properly. I got dressed in my armor with Fred assistance, I looked at myself in the mirror and smil
Ezra's POV. Everyone was happy,the masters and soldiers were going to come home soon. After three days I stood with the maids waiting for the master's return. Cheers were heard in the city ,everyone was happy.A banquet was already prepared. I even went to a shop and bought a princess dress,and applied makeup to look pretty. Gloria had been looking at me strangely but I didn't care. A few minutes later the master and the soldiers were seen. Everyone in the mansion cheered ,I was happy he was alright I smiled. He got down from his horse,he hadn't seen me yet,I couldn't hold my excitement anymore as I ran towards him and embraced him. To say he was surprised was an understatement, he returned my embrace. Everyone was surprised at the show of affection,but they Still cheered anyway. I let go of him and smiled at him."Welcome back" I said happily. "Thank you" he replied as he smiled. That smile that made me shiver . He held me as we walked in and I am sure everyone would
