Chapter 10 of chapter 10

That was short for Mr. Mount, he was expecting to hear, we both meet under the shining of the big night moon and fall in love with each other. Then, we get married and give birth to a son but along the way he died. But the way he watched her lips saying ' he is dead and gone' so easily as her face expression change and her tone sounds a bit angry.

"Do you hate him that much by saying he is dead and gone just like that?" 

"Yes Mr. Mount, I hate him more than the devil himself. And he is dead and gone" 

That impressive, what a such for me my darling. I must tell I am worth a million of gold in your life. He thought to himselg and smiled wickedly

"Hm? Is he a black or white man" his eyebrows creased. With no thinking, Mercy boldly answer his question. 

"A white" 

"Hm? A white, that means you have taste for white men then. This man must had played an Important role in your life that makes you hate him with so  much passion " he said and smiled.

Mercy didn't answer and gaze back on her meal. 

Mrs Brett wonder what amused him so much for asking her irrelevant questions that the lady herself never wants to answer.

"Now, tell me how did the man looks like? Can you give us a little description about him?" He continues with his questions.

"At least, we could know how he looks like"

Mercy was having enough of his stupid question about her life. Can he just speak of something else without involving her since he likes talking while eating. She bite on her lower lips, enduring the pain this monster was causing to her unwilling. 

Every bit of his questions makes her remember the way he had his way with her multiple times. She clenched her fist on her laps, dragging tight on her gown trying to endure the pains.

"I don't think that necessary milord, it my private life and I wouldn't like to talk about it. please can you leave it to died off that way"

"Personal matter? You still don't understand don't you? You're living here now, it my right to know about your past life inorder for me to know who's living under my roof" he suggested. Mercy knew that this man would let go that easily until he gets what he wants. And that's the information about her life.

"He is a monster in  human form" she said coldly. 

Is that a best way for her to describe him, a monster in human form. Well, that not bad, he was expecting a devil instead.

"A monster? Is that how bad the man is, I was expecting to hear he is a darling and a caring man" 

"Well, he is not" 

"That okay, I would have love to meet that man but too bad he is dead and gone" he said mockingly, knowing too well he was the man Mercy was talking about. 

The reason he asked, he wants to know after all these years if she might have fall into the hands of other man. But she hadn't. That makes him feel more happy that he was a strong influence in her life that makes her hates men..

Besides, the little boy does looks like him despite the different skin color. There is a resemblance in the two faces. the blue sparkling eyes, He was please,  he had looking forward to have a male child since his wife couldn't conceive again, it makes his mates in the society to look down on him. A man that can't conceive a male child that would succeed his business from him and carried the family legacy after when he is old and retired.

 "So, how was your life in the street? How were you coping with your son all alone roaming around in the street?"

Mercy drop her spoon and glanced at him " it was very much okay. At least, we were living in our freedom without treated like a slave animals by some lords and ladies" 

That's all he wants, her eyes on him, he wants to feel her tension of hatred for him while looking at his eyes and saying it.

"Oh that means you hate the white?" He said twisting her words against her, draws everyone eyes on her on the table. Including the servants who stays behind waiting for they to finish their meals, so they can clean the table.

"I never meant it that way, you are getting it wrong. If I indeed hates the whites I wouldn't have accepted Mrs. Brett offer to come live here" 

"Well, that doesn't matter, you might need it to get your hatred for the white. Like strangling us in our sleep. How about that?" 

Mercy really hates this man, he such a evil person that wants to make someone feel guilty of what he or she isn't planning. She had worked for him before and come to understand the his way enough.

"You must be funny milord" she said smiling briefly. "What you said just sounds a lot funny. But sorry milord, I don't have such bad intention towards anyone especially when I have a child that I wants him to grow up in the society and never hates the two skin color but cherish each other"  

"That's impressive, I am sure he would love to cherish the two colors indeed" he stated and glanced at her with lustful desire eye

.................................................................

Mrs Brett knows what her husband was planning but chose to be quiet. This is what he wants, the black woman bed in his bed, and she believes he can't wait to devour her once again after all these years.

She would be surprise if he didn't shows up the room later. But all she could hope for that black woman forgiven her for deceiving her back into hell , she once had run away from. 

At the other hand of the terrible situation, she was happy that her husband has a male child he had always needed. Not from her but from her once handmaid. 

She wants the boy to experience a good life instead of running errands in the street for white rich men when his father had enough to  sustain him for more years to come.

After Mr. Mount last word, no one talks again in the table. And all eat in slience include the kids. While his eyes were unmovable from the woman sitting on the left hand side.

"You really look beautiful lady Mercy" Mr. Mount compliment, while all eyes glanced at him surprisedly include the servants.

What had come over Mr. Mount that makes him admired a woman. Not just a woman but a black woman. The servants wonders, which them all know he distaste black people. The servants are all white, he had chase all black servants out of his house after Mercy get the chance to run away from his grips. His hatred for black increase. Yes, the women was black but his manhood enjoy fucking her than any other ladies. 

He felt complete when having sex with her, the completion and satisfaction he couldn't get from other women, he get it from her. Why would he let go of such precious gem that makes him feel complete.

"At least, enough cleaner than the first time I saw you. You look like a rotten fruit but now just a little clean up and you're already glowing. I wonder how you will look like after staying more time here"  he smiled

"I don't think that necessary milord. I didn't plan to live here forever." She turned her gaze at Mrs Brett, who was quiet feeding on her meal. 

"Mrs Brett, I would like to have your permission to be on my way tomorrow, and thank you for all your kindness" 

That words shocked everyone in the table especially Matthew, he thought he would be living here all the days of his life. He had already fell in love with house and everything in it. He didn't know his mother had a change of plans. He was sad, 

He looks at Elsie who seem down after hearing the news, she was really going to miss him and he too.

The smile on Mr Mount's face faltered, after the lady release the bomb. He was planning on having her after dinner and every other days to come. Now, she wants to ruined his happy moments, not in his watch!.

Mrs Brett agape at the Mercy, what the hell did she just said, was she planning to burnt the house down with the already burning flames? She shifted her gaze to her husband, his face wasn't looking too good. His expression had changed completely, she can feel the tension of anger coming out. This is not good. If Mercy leaves again, she believes she would be dead as soon Mercy steps out of the house.

"I don't think that possible!" He said coldly.

"Why now?" Mercy asked, she had to get out of here, now nothing had happened. She can't bear to be in the same with that monster.

"Because you have no right to!" He growled.

Mercy was get irritated already, had he recognized her already? She thought 

"As far I can remember milord, I am a free black and don't have  any ownership by any lords or ladies that's means I can make my decision milord" 

Mr. Mount gritted his teeth, after all these years for looking for her, and now, she finally appears from the blue. She wants to leave that soon? 

"You are ......" 

"My Mercy dear, what my husband meant was for you to stay and do anything you like. At least for your son, he deserves a good life" Mrs Brett quickly said to cut her husband short. Because if she didn't do anything, the situation would get out of hands  and everyone presence in the room would know what going on..

"You don't have to worry milady, I would work harder to give my son the best life he deserved" 

Mr. Mount chuckled, such a piercing woman, how many works was she going to do to get the boy the best life. When he fully knows that his son. He could allow the heir of his inheritance to go on in the street and suffer all the days of his life even though he still desire his mother in his bed.

"You should be grateful that we are offering a help to you and your son. Besides, the boy deserve more than that, he needs a father that would stand by him. Well, I don't mind playing that role for him"

Mercy eyes grow widened at him, playing a father role for his son, that one thing she never wants to happen. Matthew and Elsie stared confusedly at the man, was he that serious about his decision? Mrs Brett who knows well what going on did shows any surprise face at her husband, that battle the servants thought more, that she didn't even consider what her husband was saying like it not a bad that someone else husband chose to help another man son.

Not just that but a black boy for that matter! 

"Since the boy was so fond of being around my daughter. It would be good idea. Don't you think so?" He quickly said to cut off all the suspicious eyes on him.

"But that didn't still changes my mind" she said..

This woman was becoming a asshole for refusing his offer. But whether she likes it or not, she will stay!
