Lucas POV
What do the hell ' I drop off the spoon I was holding in shock.
Amber what are you trying to say? I shouted at amber with an angry look on my face.
Master ' am telling you the truth, Clara saw her with the poison , master she caught her putting it on your food.
I turned to look at Malia, but she was already in tears.
Malia...... I shouted her name in a high voice, I might have been a little harsh on her but she went too far by trying to kill me.
In anger I drag her by her hair, ouch.... It's hurts a lot.
Malia what do you have to say, why did you poison my food.
Speak up before Iose my temper on you.
Malia PoV
Am really speechless, how could I have poison his food.
I stood still staring at him, not knowing what to say, Clara and Amber has conspire against me.
I don't think that Lucas will probably believe me so dear is no need for me to defend myself but I will still give it a trial.
Master..... I called him in a low voice trying hard not to stammer.
He turned to look at my face, master I wasn't the one that poison your.
Immediately I felt a slap on my face making me go numb as I held on the spot.
Tears quickly trickle down my face.
Take her to the dungeon and lock her up, and she won't be given any food till I changed my mind.
He said to Amber as I slowly walked out of the dinning with her.
Luca's
I sat down on the bed thinking about had happened earlier.
I don't really know what but this room is so quiet.
A soft knock on the door snapped out of my thoughts.
Come in its open.
A smile curved on my face on seeing that it was maggie my sister.
When did you get here ' I asked her.
A short while ago, she said as she inspects the room.
Maggie let's go down stairs, I hate you see you in my room .
You don't have to be rude , sometime , I don't really know what's wrong with you.
Maggie enough... I yelled at her.
She stare at me in shock, Maggie am sorry.
I said to her but she ignored me and walked out of the room.
Holy crap, I have done it again, I didn't mean to shout at her but I did.
Maya POV '
Tears quickly streamed down my face on hearing that Malia has been locked up.
Am sure that Malia wasn't the one that poison the food.
It must be a conspiracy by Amber, I need to go ask lady Maggie for help.
I stood still at the door to her room, I inhale deeply and knock on the door.
Shortly she opened the door and gestured me to get in.
Maya" it's been a long time since I have been away, I need to know exactly what have happened in this house since I have been away.
I bow down my head, not knowing what to say to her.
Maya what's wrong, the Lucas did anything to you ? She asked me.
No no my lady, he hasn't done anything to me at least not yet but he has done something bad to my sister.
What did he do this time around and I never knew you got a sister.
My lady , master brought home a new slave, .... She cut me off coldly.
A new what, she shouted in a high voice, I held her hand , my lady please I don't want master to find out about what I just said to you.
It's nothing Maya you can always count on me for your protection.
My lady, master brought home a new slave to the house and now she has been Accused of poisoning Master's food.
What the hell ? We're Is she now and how can I help you.
My lady she is at the dungeon, my lady I know her too well and I can swear on her behalf that she was not the one that poison the food.
Maya it's really difficult, how are you sure that she wasn't the one that poison the food.
My lady I know her and I trust her, amber is just trying to make master hate her.
Maya don't worry I will talk to Lucas and I promise to get her out of here.
Note: don't comment next or too short under my post , it's discouraging
Maggie pov
Luca's is already upset with me and now this, I don't really think that he will be able to hear me out.
But I should give it a trial, wait here for me Maya, I need to go talk sense in to him.
I stepped inside his room and slam the door.
What do you want again Maggie, I have told you that my room is off limits.
Lucas what happened to the new slave you brought home. I asked him ignoring his stupid comment about his room being off limits.
He shoved his fingers through his hair, probably cause he has run out of idea on what next to say to me.
Lucas answer me, I said to him raising my voice a little bit loud this time around.
Maggie you got no right to question me over what happens between me and my slave nor anything around this house.
Luca's my silence, doesn't mean that I have lost my right as the first child of our family.
But I have been keeping quiet just for peace to regain.
Peace....... Maggie is that what you really want, you lost your right as the first child on that fateful day I lost everything.
The thing that I thought that we both valued and cherished.
Maggie you left your family when they needed you most.
Tears quickly trickle down my face, Lucas am sorry I shouldn't have left with out a reason.
It's all in the past now, I know that I can't get you to forgive me but please Lucas have mercy on that poor slave.
Cause am sure that she is innocent.
Maggie she poisoned my food .
That what you think, can you prov to me or anyone that she really did it.
Maya pov
I stood at Master's door and overheard their conversation.
Malia is suffering for a crime she knows nothing about.
I inhale deeply and knock on his door , I waited patiently waiting for response.
And after a while I heard Master's voice, .
What do you want Maya ? He asked me, as he opens the door.
How on earth did he get to know that I was the one at the door.
I stepped inside the room, master please..... Malia is innocent.
She wasn't the one that poison the food, I bow down my head expecting the worst.
Am just a slave, trying to save another salve.
Maya that is what am trying to let him know but he is too blind to see it.
Lady Maggie said to me.
Maya do you have any evidence to prove her innocence ? he asked me .
No ..... Master,
Then leave my room, he shouted at me.
Lucas let the girl go and we can prove to you that she is innocent.
Maggie ' don't play me for a fool.
I watch as he talked with his sister, I quietly left the room.
Reaching out for the door handle I remembered a way that can help prove that Malia is innocent.
I turned back to them, Maya get the hell out of my room.
he shouted at me but I stood still.
Maya go outside, I will be with you in a short while.
lady Maggie said.
my lady, master has insert camera all over the house and am sure it must have caught when Malia was poisoning the food.
my lady I suggest we have a strong evidence in watching the CCTV footage.
oh Maya you are really smart, I couldn't come up with such a brilliant idea.
lady Maggie said.
Maya, go back to your room and stop pestering me.
Maggie come with me.
master said as he walks out of this room with lady Maggie.
I left his room and locked the door.
Amber's POV
amber, am done for, Lucas is gonna kill me for this.
Clara were you able to Eavesdrop on their conversation , I asked her.
Amber I heard everything they said, lady Maggie is willing to manipulate his brother in to letting Malia set free.
Clara , Maggie can't manipulate Lucas .
I know Amber but that little witch Maya suggest that Lucas to watch the CCTV footage.
What the fuck, if Lucas gets to see that you were the one that poison the food, you and I will be doomed.
We need to destroy the footage.
amber you talk as if it's possible to outsmart the security guard and get in.
Clara everything is always for Amber to scale through.
How do you plan to outsmart them, Clara asked.
Clara stop asking too much questions and let me do things my own way.
I shouted at Clara, she is really pissing me off.
Luca's POV
Lucas were the hell are we going to ? Maggie asked.
You want her to be set free right, I know that she couldn't have poison my food.
Then free her Luca's and stop punishing innocent people , Lucas stop letting people see you as a beast, let people know and see the good in you.
Am a beast Maggie and I like it the way I am, she is my slave and not yours.
If you want your own slave go get your self one.
Mom's memorial service is coming up and I don't want to see dad and his wife.
Mom's memorial service can only be remembered by me.
I don't need a third party, to attend it.
Luca's dad said that he wont be coming back, that's why he sent me.
He was worried that you might still be having those scary night mare.
Worried huh, I don't have a father Maggie, I said to her as I shove my fingers crossed my hair.
Oh Lucas you do, you have a father and a family.
Lucas you better let go off the past and accept step mom as your family and Molly as your little sister.
Maggie I don't want your advice, I need to go watch the CCTV footage.
I will go with you Lucas and mind you this our conversation isn't over yet.
We walked over to the security guard post, but no one was there.
Xavier, Max where the hell are those morons.
Master am here, Xavier answered from behind.
We're the hell is Max ?
Sir Max went to call the electrical Engineer , the camera covering the footage of the house has been faulty.
Since when, I asked him.
Since yesterday sir.
Maggie go and get Malia, ask Maya to freshen her up and bring her to my room.
I need to attend to a meeting with some of my clients.
Lucas POV
Emery " get in to my office immediately, I shouted at her through the inter com.
I space around the corner as I shove my fingers crossed my hair roughly.
Scrolling down my tablet, got me more angry than I was before.
Shorty a knock was heard from the door, get the hell inside emery "
Sir am her.e... She stammered.
I can see you emery, am not blind, what's the meaning of this?
Why are we don't getting any share from the share holder's rather we are losing.
Sir am so sorry I failed to notice losing sir, it happened when I went on a three weeks leave to take my brother to the hospital.
Am so sorry sir it won't happen again.
Emery you know that I despise the word please, you will still be punished no matter what happens.
Did we get the contract with Miss Rachel?
No sir she cancelled the appointment, what the fuck I cut her off coldly.
Sir please I managed to get her to reschedule it today.
Why did she cancel it before ?
Sir she made it clear to us that she will only Singh the contract if only you accept to go on a lunch date with her and also buy her a present.
Get the hell out of my office, am letting you go Scot free today if only you can be able to pay the price ahead.
Put a call across Charles tell him to get miss Malia ready.
Sir who is miss Malia, is she one of our clients ?
I turned to her with an angry look on my face, she left the office in a hast.
Malia can never be my client.
Malia POV
It's been 30 mins now since I was freed from were I was locked up.
Malia dear how did you end up here ?
My lady....... Oh no Malia you can call me Maggie and like I said earlier am the eldest sister of Lucas.
Wow Lucas sister has finally arrived, I thought that she will be cold hearted as her brother but it seems like I was wrong case she is directly the opposite.
Malia " her voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
Yes Maggie, I answered her.
It seems like you don't want to talk about it.
No it's nothing, actually I was thinking on how it is going to sound like in your ear that my own family was the one that sold me out to your brother.
It's okay Malia ' I don't want to reopen a healing wounds for you.
Malia ' I know that you might hate me cause of my brothers attitude towards you, but am not like him.
He wasn't like this until something tragedy happened to him.
Lady Maggie said as tears trickles down her face.
my lady it's okay, what really happened to him ? I asked her out of curiosity.
"Malia " yes I answered and turn to have a look on the person that called me.
master said that you should get dressed, he will be back soon and he wants you to go out with him.
Charles can you repeat what you just said, lady Maggie said to Charles.
my lady master said that Malia should get dressed, he will be back soon and he will be going out with her.
I watch as he left the room.
am not really sure about this Malia but all I want is for you to be Careful okay.
I nodded my head and stood up, my lady I have to get going to his room now before he gets back.
she smiled at me as I walked out of her room.
So many thoughts roam around my head, I saw Clara opening his food and now am being accused of poisoning the food.
I don't really know what I have done wrong to Amber or Clara.
there hearted towards me grows everyday, Maya already narrated how she and lady Maggie help to get me set free.
Maya and lady Maggie seems to be the only one that likes my presence here.
my presence seems to be irritating Amber and the rest of them.
Lucas I don't really know what he thinks of me, I don't even know what he probably has in store for me and were he is taking me to.
I sigh as I stepped inside his room, I opened the door, walking over to the bed.
I was surprised to see a silver strapless short gown.
a wow escape from my mouth on the sight of the dress.
probably it doesn't belong to me cause it seems very costly.
I picked it up and hug it so tight, Imagined how the dress will look on me.
I looked at the other side of the bed and saw a short note on the bed.
I picked it up and read it out loud, the note on the bed.
The note was written with a neat handwriting, it states that the dress was mine and that I should put it on.
I rushed to the bathroom and freshen up.
few minutes later..........
I stepped out of the bathroom putting on the silver dress, I spin around the corner in excitement.
Malia " ..... I heard Lucas call me from behind, am done for.
He has be standing here all this while and I failed to notice it.
Master when did you get here...? I asked him but He ignored me.
Malia the dress really looks good on you.
Thanks master, am really grateful I said to him bowing my head.
You are welcome Malia but so sad you will have to take it off cause the dress doesn't belong to you.
I wasn't surprised when he said that, so sorry master I will go take it off immediately.
I hurrily walk over to the bathroom, a tear trickle down my face.
I won't let his words get to me again, I made to pull the dress but it mistakenly got ruined.
oh my gosh am done for, it ruin really bad that you wont get to see it unless you put it on.
I quietly walk out of the bathroom wrap the dress and gave it to him.
without sparing him a glance.
come on Malia " you must be so naive and stupid to think that the dress was actually yours.
it's a gift for one of my clients, I wanted to know how it would look on her and lastly you will be escorting me to her place to give it to her.
what the hell I shouted.
