Madison's POV:Mona sat right beside me applying some ointment on my already healing feet. Honestly she's been more than a friend to me."How is your feet doing right now? Are you feeling any better?" Mona broke the silence with her questions, and I managed to nod my head in agreement."I'm feeling much better now, Mona. I don't know what would have been of me if you and Lady Delia didn't intervene for me" I spoke with a teary voice, and the memories of what happened filled my mind."Just promise me you always tell me when you are in trouble. I see you like my sister, and I wouldn't want you to get hurt. I was surprised as well because the Master stood up for you, I'll be honest with you this is the very first time he has done something like that" Mona lowered her voice, and I stared at her in confusion."I'm confused myself, because I didn't expect him to stand up for me. I know that he doesn't like me, and I know that he will do anything it takes to hurt me. I'm just a payment for t

Madison's POV:Putting on my sack clothes, I tried to stop myself from crying. I shouldn't be crying, right?Of course, this is what it means to be a slave. I don't have to expect the best of life. I walked out of the room trying to console myself, I met Mona by the hallway still in tears."Mona, I feel bad each time I see you crying. I don't want you to keep crying because of me, this is my cross and I must carry it. I know that we are going to the worst place, but there's absolutely nothing anyone can do about it" I sniffed hard. Okay! Furthermore, I'm so heartbroken right now, but I just have to console myself, if not no one will."I know what I'm saying Madison, you are going to visit the Master's cousins, oh trust me they are not the best people. They are very cruel, and you look too beautiful for them to resist" Mona sulked, I widened my eyes in confusion trying to understand her."What are you..." I was going to ask her a question when one of the guards tapped my shoulder, and

Madison's POVWe were led into the big castle, and there I saw about six hefty men. They looked so rich and influential, and I got scared.Standing on the platform, we were told that we should dance immediately the music is being played. I was confused. Were we brought all the way from the Castle just to come and dance here?"Once the music begins to play, you all expected to dance according to the rhythm of the music" The guards commanded, and we nodded our heads in agreement. The men including the Master sat on the diamond chairs staring at us like we were strippers."You are expected to dance very well, because if your dancing steps don't impress the Masters, you will be burnt to death" That was Rodolfo's voice. I managed to get a hold of myself after hearing that we might be burnt to death.The Masters as the guards referred to them kept staring at us with lust all over their faces. Unlike our own Master, they were smiling broadly. "You have to strip while dancing for the masters

Mona's POV:I froze immediately I heard the guard's voice. I don't need anyone to tell me that I'm in great danger.The elderly woman that was taken me to the backside of the court turned around. I didn't even dare to turn my face."What is it young man? May I ask why you want us to come back?" The elderly woman spoke softly. My heart was racing so fast."I'm sorry ma'am, I actually thought it was someone I know" He shrugged, and she rolled her eyes."You are here with Master Stone, and who you should be guiding is your master. You don't have any right to poke your nose in the affairs of this Castle" The woman eyed him, and he bowed slightly."I'm sorry again ma'am" He apologized, and I walked alongside the woman breathing heavily. I could recognize the voice of the guard to be Rodolfo. I'm sure if he had seen me, he will definitely make sure I get beheaded."You know that guard, don't you?" The old lady's voice smacked me out of my thoughts. She's such a savior to me."Yes ma'am. He'

Madison's POV:I kept on staring at the lady who offered to be a substitute to me. Why do I feel like I know her from somewhere? Don't get me wrong! I wanted to stop her from saying she'll substitute me, but this time I don't have a say in any of these."You don't have to be afraid Madison, I'm going to be your substitute. That means I'll help you keep two of the Masters company" The lady touched my back. I recognized her immediately, her scent alone told me who it was."Mona?" I whispered into her ears, and she smiled faintly like I said nothing. My heart raced immediately. What is she trying to do? I can't let her go through the pains that I'm supposed to go through."If you don't want us to get into more trouble Madison, I advise you to keep your mouth shut. If the master finds out who I am, things will become more complicated, and we might both lose our lives" She whispered back, and gulped hard."What?" The Masters turned to Master Stone who stretched out his palms, and was given
