The man is full of evil and never shows kind to anyone especially blacks. He defined them as animals meant for working only. But despite all of that, she still doesn't know when he see in her that please him so much..

She tried to run away back then. But anytime she tried, the monster will surely found her and brings her back to the house. Her punishment that day would be mating her until he gets tired. To show how cruel the man can be.. but no one has dare to talked to him not even his wife. Everybody was terrified of him. She was happy that Mrs. Brett's helps her escape then and warned her never to come back...

She didn't know she was pregnant for that bastard. And when she find out, she tried to abort the baby but couldn't. Her instance couldn't allowed her to do that..

She was in pain, her innocence wass take away by that monster, he shouldn't deserve to call a father after all he had done to her. 

But she couldn't let her it. She will forever regret it. She would regret it. That she Kill her own child with her hands. She chose to keep the pregnancy and face life with it....

Even in pains and joy, she still have someone besides her and that her son. Matthew.

She named him Matthew after her father, who died brutally in the hands of the white he worked for. Life wasn't that easy for any of them the black. Before you have to step in the society, you had to work your way through the pains and sorrow..

Mercy choose to work for some whites as a outside sweeper, a shop keeper, a dust disposal even a dish washer. But no was easy for her. Sometimes, she would be beaten for no reason, and at the end, they'll chase her out and didn't pay her for her service. Even in her pregnant state. There's no as easy in her world.

CHAPTER 10 OF CHAPTER 4 MEETING MR MOUNT 2

"you are all welcome to my home, please feel comfortable" the man said once again. 

Making everyone in the room to look stunning at him. Matthew shift a bit closer to Elsie and whispered.

"I think your father is different"

"I think so too, but it surprisedly. I was expecting more drama than this but nevermind. At least, he would chase you guys out again that means it is settled" she said and continue eating on her fruit while staring confusedly at her father..

One thing the little girl knows about her father was he shouts a lot and easily get angry. And when he does, her mother would suffered for it. She wasn't expecting he to act so nice to the blacks when she knows he also hates blacks with passion.

"When my wife told me, she bought some people into my house I wasn't expecting to see a gorgeous black woman and a boy" he said, as his eyes runs lustfully at the woman holding on to her son shoulders. Her face was down, she praying that Mr. Mount shouldn't recognize her..

"So, what's your name woman?" The man asked approaching them.

Mercy who dying of fear, and slowly lift up her head.

"My...name..is... Mercy milord" she stermmer.

"Oh Mercy, I like that name, it reminds me of someone which I couldn't remember again" he said and stands right in front of her.

"So, Mercy, you are welcome to my home once again" he stretched out his hand. Mercy was drowning in fear as the man in front of her only smiling at her like someone important.

Shaking her stretch forward her hand and he took it bold into his. Squeeze it softly. Sending shrivers down to the vains.

"You are welcome" he said still smiling suspicious at her. Her hand was sweating and she could believe the man know but he didn't let her hand go that easily.

"Who this boy to you?" 

She swallowed and answer " he ....is...my son" 

"So, you have a son, what about the father" he further the questions while holding tightly to her hand. Mercy tried to draw away from his grips but she couldn't, as the man tighten it more. He wants her to answer the question which he knows very well she doesn't want to. 

He wants to know if she was sleeping with other men after all these years. "Who is the father of your son" his voice were cold this time and it sounds a bit scared. If he find out she had been sleeping with other men, he makes to make her life a living hell now she is back..

Mercy frighten more as the man keeps on asking her questions he shouldn't have. Or had he remembers her? She asked herself. But it impossible, if Mr. Brett's couldn't recognize her then her husband shouldn't too. This way, he was seeking for questions consigning her life, she thinks maybe, just maybe but not truly sure...

Mrs. Brett's who was grow suspicious of the way her husband was holding on to the innocence woman hand, quickly said

" The father of the her had died years ago" 

Mr. Mount turned and looked at his wife and back to the woman in front of him." On really, my sincere apologies for your lost. I hope him died well" he said and release her hands.

"Thank you so much Sir" 

"Oh stop that you don't have to mention. Just feel free in my house, take it as your home. Okay" he sauntered out of the room but first he looks at his wife, which shows a warning stare..she understands what the man means by that. And choose to covered it up with a smiles..

Mr. Mount disappear completely from the room. "Elsie, your father is scary" Matthew whispered. 

"I know, scared than a werewolf right?" 

"More than that" 

Mrs. Brett's clears her throat, trying to blow away the awkward air in the room. Mercy stay mute after the disappearance of Mr. Mount in the room. She could still feel her hands shaking, she can't believe she would be living in the same roof with that monster again...

The children didn't seen bother with what happened, as them continue feeding on their fruits, sitting on the dining table.

Mrs. Brett walks up to her. " I know you are terrified but you don't have to worry. My husband is not that lover of black people but I will sure he would be a problem to you and your son" she said, trying to give the woman her assurance. Even though she knows it would be that easy to copied with her husband but she wants to try. She was to do it for the sake of her daughter and the sake of the boy who helped her daughter...

Mercy just nodded while inside of her was dying. She didn't know what to do or thinks! The only that appears on her head was the way Mr. Mount was smiling suspicious at her. She just hope that he shouldn't recognize her at all...

"Let me get the maid to show you your room" she said and claps her hands, and the same maid appears again.

"Milady" she bowed. "Please take them to their room" Mrs Brett instructed and the maid simply show the way, Mercy thank Mrs. Brett before she followed and the kids runs along carry the trays of fruits. 

Quickly, the maid grabs it from them and carried it instance before them mess up the corridor.

While walking in the corridor heading to the room, the maid still gives her that suspicious looks again. She noticed and ignored. When they get to the room door choose for them..

The maid open the door. Matthew eyes lost in wonders, as he had never seen such a fascinating room before. It was much better and best than their old hut. The room had a massive bed up for a whole town people to sleep on. There's a table and chairs, also wardrobe for clothes keeping.

Like everything in the room seen fascinating. Him scoop in with Elsie running around to seen all the things he had never see before..

While Mercy wasn't fascinated with  room appearance, that's isn't the first time she had seen such a thing before..

So nothing seen news to her. She turned to the and said. " Thank you" 

"You don't have to be. But you're welcome" the maid replied. At least this time, she sounds a bit polite to her. She wanted to asked her about her first statement what she means by that. But she chose to wait for the right not now, not in the presence of the children...

She turned and face the kids running around in the room. She sighed " children, always full of drama of play" 

"Lady Mercy" the maid called and she turned.

"You should get ready soon before dinner time. The milord would like you and your son to joined the family for dinner"

Dinner? Her heart skipped. She swallowed and answer. " Okay, we'll be there"

"Come on Elsie is time for bath time" the maid called. " Oh my goodness! Can't I have fun for just  once?" She grumbled..

But Mercy walks up to her. "you don't have to worry after dinner, you and Matthew can have fun, and no one would dare to stop you" 

"Are you sure?" The girl asked. "Of course, very sure." 

"Okay, bye Matthew, I will see you later in dinner" she waved to Matthew and went to meet the maid. Before them sauntered out of the room. The maid and said. " Be careful Mercy, he might still recognize you" she said. 

Before Mercy could asked what her meant, she was out. What the hell is this maid talking about, why is she speaking in misery.
