Chapter 12 of chapter 2 Hell in the dungeon
Hell in the dungeon....
Lady Elsie was dragged into the dungeon of hell like a animal assigned to be slaughter. Along the corridor of the dungeon, she could perceive the smell of dead humans from the dirty looking empty cell, some with rotten skeleton of the dead people who had stayed in there before.
She couldn't believe this is the place Marcus want her to live all the rest of her life. No, she can't be in here, she can't survive it.
"Please I begged you to let me go and I promise to pay you heavenly for it" she plead with the guards but no one shows her any attention or even listen to the trash she had to say. This all that slut plan, she prayed she died and never come back to life again.
She remains quite and let the guards takes her to the her destination of hell that she was going to suffer all the days of her life.
This hell she had never prayed for. Suddenly, she was thrown into an empty cell with dry skeleton bones of humans who has died horrible in their state. She was terrified as she moved herself to the corner of the cell. Folded herself in a box way and cried in slient, she can't take it, one day she will suffer the same fate with these dead people.
She cried as the memories of the past comes back into reality.

The next day...
Everybody was up to start the glorious day with a beautiful start. The sun was glowing in the earth making the morning sun warm to the skin. The day was beautiful and amazing.
Matthew and Elsie was already running around the mansion before breakfast time. Mercy went to the kitchen room to assist the maids in cooking. Instead of sitting in the room all day doing nothing, she wants to relieve herself before making a plan to leave this place. She still wants Matthew to have his time with his sister before taking him away.
She walks into the kitchen and all eyes fell on her. Before she entered, there was whispering between the maids and cooks in the kitchen but immediately she entered, all went slient. She remembers some faces from the past between the maids but behavior not to be recognize also with the maids that known her.
She went to the ones who faces seen new in the mansion and asked to assist them in cooking. They first disagree but since she was still insisting, they had no choice but to allow her do what she wants.
While cooking, she notices the maid that comes up to her last night wasn't in the kitchen. She believes Thea was a kitchen maid but why isn't she in the kitchen. She still wants to talk to her about what she said last night. She was having a little confusion about the Mrs Brett being involved in her husband plan. Which she knows very well that Mrs Brett would never do such a thing for that bastard she had as a husband.
Through the process of thinking, a voice breaks her from her thoughts. " Lady Mercy, what are you doing here?" She turned and see it was the devil in human form speaking. Speak of the devil.
What did he wants from her, can't he just find something else doing instead of showing up in the wrong time in places he wasn't needed.
"What are you doing?" He asked again, smiling like a harmless man that had never committed anything wrong before.
Mercy bowed along with the rest of the maids in the room. " Milord, I want to join in the cooking instead of sitting without doing nothing" she said, and smiled falsely at him.
"Oh that nice, I'm please you're talented in cooking. I would love to eat your food. Hope it would taste just like you" he said smiling.
Driving the eyes of others to grow wide in the room. Mercy blink on hearing this but quickly he added. " I mean taste good just the way you smell"
Mercy smiled falsely, sure this man irritated her the most even the way he speaks sounds disgusting to her ears.
"Sure milord, I promise you'll love it" she replied. He slaps his fingers and all the maids and cooks leave excuse the two of them. Mercy was surprised why he summoned the presence of the cooks and maids out. She wanted to confirm him but quickly he speaks.
"What will you like to start with Lady Mercy?" He grabs the handle of his shirt up, getting ready to assist. Mercy who was shocked with these quickly asked. " What are you doing milord?"
"Well, I'm trying to assist you in cooking, I want to see how you cook" he simply replied and dragged on a bowl.
Mercy was stunned, all her life of working as a maid in the mansion, she had never seen Mr Mount works in the kitchen before. In fact he hates the sight of the kitchen, now his behavior makes her question herself what had happened to this man after these 10 years.
"What are we doing next?" He asked breaking her from her world of thoughts.
"Hm, well, we are going to make a simple dish" she said, face back on her chopping meat she was doing before.
Mr Mount walks up to her, " do you need a help with that?" He said, he was a inch closer to her makes her feel uncomfortable of the man who makes her life difficult once before
"No, I don't need a help , I can do it myself" Mercy assure him but that didn't make him move an inch instead he shift more closer to her. " You should be careful with that knife, it's seen sharp"
"You don't have to worry milord, I'm used on using this one's in the past" she shifted a bit far from him but that makes the situation more difficult because he shift along with her.
"Are you saying you're once a cook in the past?" He asked pretending not to be aware.
"Yes I'm once a cook" she said and continue chopping the meat.
"Have you work as a maid to anyone before?" He asked, bring up a discussion to know if she allowed another man to touch after him in the past. He wants to know if any idiots touch the pearl that belongs to him.
"No but I did years ago"
"What years are that?"
"10 years ago" she said, that make him smile knowing she hadn't allowed anyone man to touch him. That please his heart if not he would have found the bastard that lay his hands on his Pearl and show him the way to his grave.
"That good, where do you work 10 years ago?"
Immediately, Mercy get away from him to get herself some veggies to chop after she had pack the chopping meat on a bowl.
"I'm sorry Milord, but I don't want to talk about it myself to you" she said, washing the veggies in the sink.
"Okay, anytime you're free to talk about it"
Suddenly, he joined her in the sink washing the veggies with her. "I told you I want to assist you and you don't have to do things yourself"
"I know milord but I can help myself"
"That nonesense, I have already offered you my help"
Mercy saw that no matter how she chose to ignored him and refused him of his help, that would stop him from coming closer to her.
She gives up and continue washing the veggies in the sink along with Mr Mount. He was happy after 10 years of separation between the two, he had gotten the chance to be with her again. He had missed everything about her, her cooking, her smile and the way she smell just like the flowers in the garden. How long he had wish to be in this state with her, just the both of them all together.
He had bedded countless of women over all the time but never had he felt so connected to a woman not even his wife but he felt it with her. It's like she was his missing half. When he learned that she had escape from his grips, that day he almost roof off the house. Mrs Brett was the one who carried the consequences on her head, as she was turned into a punching bag for the whole years.
Here, he was sharing a kitchen with her, he had really missed her and wished to have her on his bed as soon as possible, he just can't wait to hear her moaning again but he chose to be slow with her this time.
Like taking things little by little. He was once rough with her in the past because he had never understand his own true feelings for a woman. After the years she was gone, he come to realize he wasn't complete without her. Now, he wants to make up the old times with her.
He was smiling watching the way she busy washing the veggies without glancing at him. Then , he said. "I miss that face"
