Cindy runs away from her home, with the hopes of escaping her arranged marriage and making a better life for herself but faith has other plans for her.

Felix is a Human Rights Defence lawyer, in New York City. Absorbed in his work with no chance of having a social life, he comes home to a surprise, his best friend Kyle had purchased a slave woman for him. Torn between his duty and the need to protect his best friend, Felix is stuck between at a rock and a hard place.

Her elbow pressed onto the kitchen table, lips kissing the rim of the cup of coffee, the sun shining through the window and radiating off her melenated skin, the realization had slowly begun to sink in... he was falling in love with Cindy.

His once plain Cindy was no longer plain and her beauty was no longer hidden. As the two begin to fall for one another, there are obstacles in their way, becuase where roses grow, torns grow too.

Slave: Falling for the master

I sat at the table at a coffee shop facing the busy streets and traffic of New York City. I stared at my phone for a whole minute, waiting for Cindy to call. I guess my patience paid off because she called. 


"My legs are paining; your mother has been dragging me from shop to shop" 


"Well I'm sorry, did you get the wedding dress you wanted?" 


"Yes I did and it's beautiful. I wanted the cheaper one though but your mother would not have it. Come to think of it I can't seem to find the coffee shop that you named" I told her the name if the coffee shop that I was at and in less than ten minutes she arrived, walking through the door with four shopping bags in hand. 


I stood up from the chair, kissed her on her cheeks and then pulled out a chair for her to sit on. 


"Oh yes please, I've been dying for a drink" The waiter appeared, Cindy ordered her coffee and in less than five minutes, her coffee arrived.
