Sold to the Ruthless Master

I got to the house later in the evening to prepare Lucian dinner but I met Mariam preparing it already.

“Hi”I greeted as soon as I got to the kitchen and she smiled.

She turned to me and smiled.

“How was your day?”She asked and help me with the bags.

“It was hectic”

“I knew it will be hectic, that’s why I helped you prepare dinner.

“That’s so thoughtful of you, thanks a lot”

“You’re welcome”

She rush to stir the food on the pot and I walk up to her feebly.

“Mariam”I said in a whisper and she turned to me.

“Is there a problem?”She asked curiously and I sighed.

“I can’t help it anymore, I’m in love with Lucian”I confessed and she scoffed.

She stop turning the soup and sighed.

“Don’t be scared of telling me that you’re in love with him, it’s normal, I even regretted telling you not to fall in love with him, we are humans and blood is running through our veins, what I will tell you is that, you should watch him carefully these days maybe he’s in love with you or not, he’s even in love with you, what made him choose you as his sex slave, he’s denying it that he’s in love with you, you will have to be very patient when dealing with matters like this, make him feel sober for what he did okay”

“I will, I’m not ready to forgive him yet for what he did, not now, I have to deal with my past first”

“Yes, you’re right, go freshen up and come back to eat, lover girl”She said mockingly and I chuckled.

“Wait… where’s Bethany?”I asked realizing that I haven’t seen her for the past so days.

“Seriously, you’re just remembering that?, I didn’t see her, I think she absconded immediately she knew Lucian has been poisoned ”

“Why do I have a feeling that she’s the one who poisoned Lucian, I didn’t want to inform Lucian about my suggestions but my mind keep telling me that she’s the one who poisoned her, I just have to keep my fingers crossed because I’m the prime suspect”

“You have to tell Lucian and Daniel, she can’t go scot free, I’m sure she knew about it”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“I will, I will inform him”

I paced to and fro in the room as I expect her to pick the call but she’s not picking it.

“Damn!”I groaned in anger and keep dialing it and after lots of repeated rings, she pick it up.

“Seriously Bethany”I scoffed in anger and she sighed.

“How dare you run away when you’re the suspect?, you poisoned Lucian and you have the guts to run away, don’t you know he will find you”

“Hey chillax, let me talk, you just keep gibbering since and you didn’t give me chance to utter a single word”

“What did you want to explain?, you are such a devil”

“All what I did had a reason, you should calm down and listen to me”

“I’m not ready to listen to anything, every fingers are pointing at me that I knew about your sudden disappearance, Are you trying to implicate me here”

“Calm down please and listen to what I have to say”

“I’m not ready to listen to what you want to say, I just want you to know that you will rot in jail if Lucian gets to know where you are”

“And I sure you know you won’t be exempted also because both if you will rot in jail”

I turned back in surprise and I scream immediately I set my eyes on the person at the door.

What!
