Chapter 1 of chapter 9 Unknown letter

An unknown letter was sent to Isabella by a guard...

                A letter from unknown 

Pov Narrator...

After three days of the fatal faint, she was back to her duty post as always. Her place never changed since Lady Pearl interfere in her case.

A supreme leader of all the workers in the mansion, her words are forever obeyed and carried out. 

Her daily routine remains the same, a kitchen maid, she always has been 

Coming back from the dusty farms and basket filled with fresh veggies, dragging on by her hands. A guard man barge into her carelessly in a rush! Before she could utter a word of apologies out without being punished on an offense she intentionally wouldn't dare to do. 

"Sir .." 

"Here you're? I have been searching for you in all quarters, there's a letter for you" the man lifted forward his hands, holding on to a warped note. 

Isabella looks stunned, what's note is he handing over to her? Eyes glared immediate terrified.

She looks carefully at the letter and back to his friendly face.

Her? A letter? From who? She doesn't have anyone to write her a letter. So, why the act? She tried to compose herself perhaps she was mistaken for someone else.

She beamed nicely at him " Sir.. I'm sorry but not expecting a letter from anyone" she said politely, not trying to sound rude. Ensured that would have done the job for her but violent the case when the friendly face turns red. 

"You must be stupid!" He yells angrily,

"Take this now!" He commands harshly at her, overwhelming her with fear. 

That's was quite unexpected, she wasn't looking forward to a fiery reaction. Slowly, she took off the warped note from him with no objections if truly she was the receiver or none. 

"You should be grateful a letter was written to you by a lord, not a beggar. Besides, what can he possibly expect from you either than become one of his whore mistress" he laughed devilishly and left her to drown in her emotions. 

Isabella stays unmovable, the basket of veggies dash noisy on the floor, As her hands shakey hold of the letter. What's happening to her life? Whom Lord wants her to become his mistress? Above all maiden's, she was the one chosen? One of her other nightmares she was scared to happen in reality to her, was being a whore mistress to anyone especially a lord! 

She tried to hold tight her tripping warm tears but it seem they've already free their way out. Why did death always want to take her life miserably after all the circumstances she had gone through in life. 

Her hands warp in curiosity, as she tears off the warped note. There was no name written on it but her name was, ' To Isabella, the black maid with gorgeous blue eyes' he even compliment her eyes! The last statement overwhelmed her eyes terrors " Come to the garden, Now!" It's was just five words but we're filled with authority and command.

Who immediately seek her presence in such an ordering way? What frightened her most wasn't about the words but who eventually she was going to meet at the garden path. 

She bends on her knees to cried out her pain in silence, only heard to her ears but none others. No one's going to save her on this since it's an order from a lord, not even lady Pearl can't stop it! 

She raised, wiped off her warm running tears. No matter how hard she cried nothing can change the fact she was already summoned by a lord. 

The better she started going to the garden, the best for her. Isabella carried on her veggies basket, straight she walks toward the garden path. Whatsoever the situation might be, brutal sexual intercourse or none she accepted cause nothing tells she might have a better fate ahead of her, Now all she has seen are pains! 

       Isabella Pov...

Unknown letter review...

I wanted to tear into pieces, As my heart race with every step, I take. Who possibly must have requested my presence before him, an outsider like me? He even compliments my eyes for the first time in my outrageous life.

I stood my ground tightly and force myself to the garden path, no matter what, a command is a command and can't be undone not by another lord.

The garden was too silent for my liking, even though someone was to be killed here no one would hear the cry of the dying person, I swallow on my saliva and waits patiently for the horror  await me.

Then, I felt his enthralling presence, the same sweet prepossessing aura I have felt before. That means it's would only be someone I knew before 

- Sir Marcus  

He stops few meters before me, I turned and caught his enchanting eyes spell, immediately low down my head.

He smirks, " I scared you right?" He asked walks more feet closer. 

"No... My lord" I said internally, shift a little backward. 

"Really? Are you this stubborn?" 

I lifted my head shocking, have I done something wrong unwilling? That might have provoked him? 

" Please. My lord, forgive me if I have done anything on pleased " I begged, back my head down again. 

"Isabella.. please stop all these acts, it's disturbing"

"What's disturbing my lord?" 

He lean in closer, hand lifted up my jawline.

"The way you act towards me," he said, looking straight at my eyes. Then the memories of the past flash it way back, truly he was my little heart- kindest Marcus.

"It took long of eventually meeting you after all these years," he said in a seductive way that almost makes me moaned but why? 

Eyes bond like forever, staring and no sight of blink or Twink of the eye from the both of us.  He licked on his lips liked he saw something delicious to vague on.

" You had a sexy lip," he said, shifting his head more closer to mine but he stops. I don't know what he was attempting to do but he stops, let go of my jawline,

"How was your health?" He asked suddenly, 

"Hmm.. well fine my lord" I answered shyly for the awkward situation but don't know why. 

"Have you taken the pills given to you by Lady Pearl?" 

"Yes.. my lord, all"

"You don't get it, do you?"

I still don't understand his plays, first, he acted so seductive and now questioning me! 

"I have told you thousands of times to stop calling me lord!" 

"Oh that, I'm sorry, My lord" my hands flew to my mouth when I know I have made the same mistakes again, 

"I swear, I never mean that"

"Alright, you're forgiven" he smiled, that lovely look his face gives.

"Tell me, what do you have next?" 

"Me...? " 

The bell rings...

That's the summoned of all workers in the mansion. 

"I'm sorry Sir Marcus, I have to go" 

Quickly, I ran not waiting for his response.

Maids and workers running in and out of all quarters to the meeting hall. 

Getting there, all spots were crowded.

Emma called on to me,  waving up her hands,

"Isabella!!" She continues until I get to see her. Slowly, I walked my way through the crowd pleading on walking through.

"Gosh! Where have you been? I have to cover up for you before Lady Gogo found out you're missing" she complained,

"I'm sorry, I receive an unknown letter from a guard being sent by a lord" I lower my voice while speaking to her for the others not to eardrops on our conversation. 

"A lord wrote you a letter?" She whispered excitedly, "what happened between you and the lord?" She continues.

"Nothing that serious he just wants to check on me " I shyly reply, she suspects my nervousness, " what happens between you two? And who the hell is he?" 

"Attention!!!!" Lady Pearl announced, distracting our conversation.

"After this, you'll surely tell what happens" she whispered to my ears.

"Since you, all have heard and know the young master would soon arrive home. Well tomorrow is the due day, all maiden's and male workers are going to work hard more than before keeping things splendid Before his arrival" 

She stops places her glasses well on her face. It looks like she was sweating while addressing the lord coming but why all the anxiety? What terrified her whenever she address him?  She simply places the glass on and continues.

"There shouldn't be no mistakes in the cooking or chores! Everything should be done the way it should be. Tomorrow is a big day because we're expecting more quests over the country to welcome the lord, there are going to be more to do and more to request but I advise you all should stick with regular rules and don't be a victim to any outrage" 

She advised The meeting was canceled,

After that, Emma couldn't allowed me to drop down a cup of water before continue her questions.

"Who was he?" 

"Oh my goodness!" I rolls my eyes, " is Sir Marcus" I nervously answered but  don't understand why the unfortunate I was nervous.

"And...?" 

"He leans in"

She hold her mouth surprisedly, "you said he lean in?" 

"Yeah, and.."

"And...?! There's still more?"

Oh! Emma and her dramatically act!

"Did he kissed you?" 

"Hell no!" I shout disapprove, it's not allowed, I don't know why Emma never gets it. Not for a maid like me!  She rolls her eyes in disbelief at me. 

"So, he just wrote you a letter to check on you?" 

"What are you maids doing here gossiping!?" Lady Gogo growled, 

Works are calling!
