Feeling his touch....
Isabella Pov.......
I was stunned to go back to his chamber after last incident, I couldn't sleep that night, as my mind recalls all his act he did to me. I could still feel his touch on me. The way his hand moves on every part of my skin. Like he was on the bed with me.
Is this what a woman feel when a man touch her? Like his seductive words still whispered into my ears. I tried sleeping it off, but it was hard. The more I tried the more I failed.
'Goodness lord! This is sick!' I gets out of the bed to watched the sky through the window, Maybe his thoughts might wash away but it still comes back. ...
I focus more of my attention on the beautiful night. Everywhere seem slient and peaceful, and tried to relax my brain at least it's was working.
All maids were fast asleep, maybe this once I can find peace without no noise. It just the night and me.
Then, I spots some men trashed something into the a carriage, there're more than one carriages. Just the same act I saw they doing days ago.
Just the same spot I last seen them, there was also the man on black, supervising them again, what possibly be there that warps like bags they throw into the carriages every night. I questioned myself,
The Man on black turns his gaze at my direction. I didn't moves, neither did him, he can't see me right, the lights are switch off it was hard to peep a soul from the drak thick room.
But I can see him and the men due to the moon light and street lights in the mansion yard.
He didn't move his gaze on me, he waved his hands. It's was creepy, I can't see his face but could see him. My heart skipped, beats too fast, I ran away from the window to my bed. Scarily, covered myself with the mattress.
Before I knew it, it's was the next day.
The maids noisy sounds wakes me up and Lady Gogo voice yelling at the background.
" Get your lazy ass up!!" She yells.
Making all maids to quickly runs into the bathroom to freshing up before attend to their duties.
After finished refreshing up, she makes us stands straight on a single line.
"Who are those, serving the lord's!" She roars,
"All serving the lord come to the front line now!"
We all jerks in, not hesitating to delayed the process. " Now go and packs up your equipment and head out now!!"
Everyone serving lord that morning all hurried out to drags on their equipment and head to our various ways. My heart skipped when his thoughts comes back to mind..
"You're mine" that word never skipped out of my head. And he even knows my name. Bella, I thought Marcus was the only one who knows the name but he calls me Bella. I have never asked Marcus how he ends up here, being a lord again. Besides, he has always be a lord all his life.
What happened in Lord Mayors was something I never wants to remember. It was bad and never to copied back.
A gentle soft touch lands on my back, I was about to jumped when it's turns out to be Emma.
"What? It's seem like you have seen a ghost" she mumbled
"Emma, you almost scared the hell out of me. What were you thinking?"
"Oh, ends being so dramatic. I missed you. I didn't get the chance to see you or talked to you yesterday. Since you starts serving a lord you change. Always occupied with more duties" she complained,
"I'm so sorry, just the duties are becoming hard to did with"
"Yes, but I forget, he came to check on you yesterday"
The word he came become a terrific statement in my mind. Did the man on black came to check on me. I starts breathing heavily. " Isabella, are you okay? "
I only nods to her questions but my mind has flew out.
"Sir Marcus came to check on you. He seem angry you when I told him you were working for the Duke" she placed a finger across her chin, trying to think about something that was amiss . At least, my heart was back to it normal state.
"What was going on between you two. He seem fiery and jealous, are you truly having an affair with him?"
"Hell no! I have told you. He's a lord and not right for a white master having an affair with someone like me"
"What's wrong with someone like you beside this is a freedom lands for black. Haven't you heard about black man owning their own house and farms. You're a free black, working and serving as a maid or servant doesn't makes you a less human"
Emma, never wants to accept it that there's no hope for us. She believes and consider we're going to achieve more than being maids.... She was my building spirit...
I smiled at her forgetting about my worries. Maybe she might be right, there' re hopes for us.
"But you slept off that fast, what a friend you're. I was planning on telling about his visit. Now, what's going on?"
I sighed. " Okay, I'll tell you when I'm done with my duties but only between us"
She smiled. " Alright"
"Isabella!" I heard my name called, it was Sir Marcus at the other side of the corridor. Staring at us, immediately, fear cupped on my body. I remember when he came into the master chamber, he didn't seem happy, his eyes was full of rages and anger. That was the first time I have him in that state. But now he's calling on to me, I'm more terrified.
"You can go" Emma whispered, and jerks her stuff to resume her morning duties.
My legs shakes, as I approached him.
There were no smiles on his face, no sweet emotion again, as if all died off.
"How are you?" He asked,
How was me? I didn't expect that from him.
I just smiled and replies. " I'm fine " but that didn't bright the situation, his face still remains cold.
"You should start going, he hates seeing his room dirty" he said and left.. just liked that?
What was wrong with him, he always smile at me when we meet but now, it's a new version of him that I'm seeing.
Emma said, he was anger when she told him I work for the Duke. Did them fought? I couldn't think of anything better but I wonder if I was wrong. He was a joyful kid than, lot must have changed, I couldn't remember much about the past but just few memories stayed behind.
I get to the master chamber, still surprised I meet the door the same way. I walks in, peeping around if he was in. But he wasn't.
I starts on with my regular cleaning, my mind was free as I started it makes my clean faster so I can leave on time before he comes back.
Who the hell is the man on black? And what are they loading in the carriage at night? These were the thoughts bothering me.
He always feels it when someone was peeping on him, and that's me!
I dizzy my mind off it. And continue peaceful with my chores. He never shows up until I was done. I was expecting he might shows up any minute as always but he didn't.
There was no meeting on today, I should be grateful right, but I wasn't. His last touch on my skin still flattered my heart. The way his hot breathe lands on my neck, it's makes me completely insane. Was I expecting more from him? I must be stupid.
I looked around the room and seem everything in prefect order. I grins, at least my job is done here. The lord would be happy when he comes back and seen his room this clean. I makes sure there were no slight of dust in any furniture .
I turned back and saw his face, those fiery eyes hooked on my body, he seems more cold than usual. As his gaze pierce on my soul, I believe that look can kill. My heart skipped again, this time more frightening..
As I grown scared of his presence..
"What are you doing here?" His cold voice asked...
"I'm.... here to clean up your room master" I frighten said, immediately place my head down.
"Hmm" he sighed, walks in, ignoring my presence, he didn't lay his gaze on me again.
"Are you done with your cleaning?" He asked heading to his bedroom.
"Y-yes my lord"
"Then shut the door behind you, I need some rest" he said and went into his bedroom.
Was it's strange? It seem more to me...
